For no particular reason, I shall sign off with a band who were among my most frequent customers in my days as Brighton's own freelance roadie.
I'm all right.... really.... just the odd nervous twitch......

Not as an essential part of releasing a record, as is the case today.

@StephenLees4 Bands were doing videos in the 60s.

Copyright it NOW! It might also be a good idea to delete the tweet in which you quoted the words.
You don't need a lawyer. Just post the lyrics to yourself by Recorded Delivery, and do not break the seal on the envelope when it arrives. You will then have a record of the date.

I wouldn't know how to copyright it. I have home recorded it with guitar and synth...

Brilliant! It reminds me of someone -- possibly Lou Reed at his best.
Is there music for it? Has it been recorded?
I hope you copyrighted it before quoting it in public.

Make the most of walking while you can!
I know this is horribly self-pitying, but it's almost ten years since I left this house, other than by ambulance.
I tend to pass out if I try to go beyond the front gate.

@StephenLees4 I prefer to walk around to be honest, while I still can. My neighbour gets bags of groceries delivered all the time. Delivered to me by mistake a few times.

Thank YOU.
I had no idea I had been so influential.

We are well into the Ocado thing thanks to you... Wine comes from Majestic too...

I must confess they had little impact on me. A tad too smooth, perhaps?

@StephenLees4 10cc were years ahead of Queen Godley & Crème made some amazing ones

Same here.
The funny thing is that I can't hear "Seven Seas Of Rhye" (1974?) without imagining it blasting out of the radio (which I think came from a tank) in my school dayroom.

I didn't hate Queen. Just wasn't interested...

No, I'm not quite that old.

....shop online, one could start a business that would do that for them, taking shopping lists over the phone.
They could make a profit while charging no more than the taxi fare to the nearest supermarket.
People who mourn the death of the high street remind me of those who....
English
And people wonder why "the high street" is dying.
I shall not mourn. I don't understand why anyone would go to a supermarket when they could shop online. Do they enjoy wasting time, wasting petrol and loading the car in the rain?
As for the mostly elderly people who can't....

@StephenLees4 @Telegraph They the shoplifters swarm in large groups here, overwhelming the staff. Many stores are now leaving areas they have been in for decades.

....thereby retaining the control which they and their fellow music biz moguls feared losing as the do-it-yourself 1975/6 music revolution blossomed.
English
"Surreal"? I didn't say I hated Queen. I ignored them, even when I was listening to Led Zep et al. I was simply making the point that their management invented the music video as we know it today, as a way of making the process of releasing a record more expensive, and....

Hey fellow Queen haters..is this the reason you hate Queen, or is this just a surreal take?
English
One reason why many people of the punk generation hate Queen is that they -- or rather their management -- invented the music video as we know it today. They felt they were losing control, and sought a way of making the process of releasing a record more expensive.
FourthDrawerDown #MDANT 🏅@itaintwhywhywhy
As a child of 70s punk, I have softened over the years to many bands I point blank refused to listen to (Led Zep, Pink Floyd and other rock god behemoths) Apart from Queen. I've always fucking hated Queen and always will until my dying day. And MUSE can fuck right off as well.

So glad this incident has blown up in Waitrose's face.
When I posted the relevant @Telegraph article yesterday, no one was talking about it.
The British people's innate sense of justice is asserting itself. I wonder if Mr Smith would be interested in standing for Parliament.
David Atherton@DaveAtherton20
Walker T Smith, 54, had 17 years unblemished experience with @waitrose, & working in Clapham Junction. He stopped to shoplifter from stealing Easter eggs. Instead of being thanked he was sacked.

Has the world gone mad? In a more sensible era, this man would have been rewarded for being brave.
Instead, Waitrose sacked him for stopping a suspected shoplifter from stealing a bag of Easter eggs.

Quite so.
Many people who criticise @KemiBadenoch for timidity in her policy announcements fail to understand her dilemma. Many of her MPs are Conservatives in name only, some of them almost as bad as Stewart.
