Who is Nick Kilroe and when/how was he a member of EATB?

Nevermind, I found my answer. He's the drummer in the current lineup.

Pretty sad (and tenuous) connection, if you ask me. But a good cause.

Great Hillsborough article in the Observer magazine today. They should make the low life who sing "funny" Hillsborough songs at football matches read it...its very harrowing. And heartbreaking.

The EATB link may be (very) tenuous and the song crap but I'll still be buying it.

YNWA.

Tenuous connections don't bother me. Buffalo, NY thrives on them to make itself feel relevant in the world.

I dont mean the song is crap...I mean this version may potentially be crap. The song is iconic.

Sounds like another excuse for scousers to wallow in self pity to me.

You can tell CD was beaten up by scousers a fair few times in his/her life.

Have you tried therapy?

I reckon the rest of the country secretly want to be Scousers but daren't admit it.

I've still got a soft spot for old Boris, not because I think he has any value as a politician, but because he is a living endorsement of my lifelong struggle against the hegemony of wealth and privelege in the UK. When you think of the thousands of pounds lavished on his education (private school, best Oxford college) its staggering that he comes out with such utter drivel.

Having lived in London for a good many years I cant see what connection he has with people from Tower Hamlets, Broadwater Farm or my old stomping ground Seven Sisters. Granted he has alot in common with people in Mayfair, Hampstead and Chelsea. But thats only a very small part of London.

But you cant hate Boris and I wasnt that upset by his anti-Liverpool comments as he had never been to Liverpool and had probably never met anyone from there. He was just regurgitating the view held by the Southern media at the time (though even that is changing now).

He's like an errant child, they infuriate you at times, but ultimately you calm down as you realise you cant ascribe adult thinking to someone with such limited experience of life. Its just scary that that type of person is an elected official of the largest city in the UK!!!

Oh dear....
