Which reminds me of when Watford FC, of which I've been a fan since kiddiehood (yeah, I know, we all have our crosses to bear), were playing Portsmouth, and a Watford player committed a nasty foul, to which the Pompey lot sang "You dirty Northern bastards!". Which made me laugh at the time :o)

No apology necessary. As Wilde wrote (The Canterville Ghost, 1887): "We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language."

Ha! Watford > dirty norther bastards. Priceless. 

My daughter called me up the other day and she was very near Upton Park. . . which, as we all know, is the playing fields of the famous West Ham football team. I recall going there when I was a 17 year old hippy to see a match and spent the game in the stands surrounded by Dockers and skinheads all tooled up with blades, sticks and even an axe. They were the most frightening lot I have ever witnessed. Thank heavens I was wearing the Hammers colours or I don't think I would have got out alive. . .

The only line that caught me ear was "a cold day in springtime".  Since it's the middle of April and snowing like crazy, a very appropriate sentiment.  Last year we ate all our meals outside from April 1st on...  not this year.

I don't care what you guys say, this guy knows how to write a damn catchy hook!

But this is tomorrow's song.  (edit: unless you're listening from a GMT +12 time zone)

The Land of Best Forgotten. 

Actually, Blur's put out some good music, but this song is the international anthem for self-bludgeoning with a hammer.

/whining. Blur is an English band, formed in London in '89.

Mein Gott in Himmel Fred, thats not your usual tolerant balanced approach! I ask you to think again my friend and just do the right thing and vote Blur, nicht Oasis!

Assuming this isn't a duh moment—since they're both essentially Damon Albarn. This song reminds me how much I miss Blur, my fave rave Brit pop band.

From Stereogum 4/18/10 "Yesterday was Record Store Day, and 1,000 lucky blokes picked up this 7″, the first new Blur song in (appropriately enough) seven years. It was recorded in London weeks ago". Glad it made its way to RP.
