@Houseof_Cricket The first fifteen wickets in that match fell for 403. Therafter it was 962-7.

Since the turn of the millennium, England have lost every Test they have played at the Gabba, Brisbane. Except this one. On Day 5, England were 517 for 1. Maybe the craziest scorecard you will ever see in a Test match..

Our #U19WorldCup schedule is here 🌍🏆

@JAEvans317 @JamesLucasIT They were setting up the stage (or maybe taking it down) a couple of months ago

@JamesLucasIT Willing to bet the acoustics are still good enough for a play or concert.

The Greek-Roman Theatre of Taormina. Views that etch Italy into your soul. x.com/archeology_art…

@JamesLucasIT The inner corridor

Only in Italy. The ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheater of Catania emerge from Piazza Stesicoro, a city square in the historic center.

@JerryChesler @indole_gaines @NewWaveAndPunk Sly Dunbar's "Basketball" drumming on the 1978 singlet is okay, but I stil prefer the earlier cut with Soul Vendors - Bunny Livingstone and Constantine "Dream" Walker on backing vocals youtu.be/MzdLJWFl-Zw?si…

@PresidentSsc @indole_gaines @NewWaveAndPunk Just heard him and Jagger doing “Don’t Look Back” on the radio Love that. Had the single

"Police and thieves in the streets Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Police and thieves in the streets Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition From Genesis to Revelations, What the next generation will be, hear me..."

@JerryChesler @indole_gaines @NewWaveAndPunk Peter Tosh's 1978 version of Joe Higgs' "Stepping Razor" was on the soundtrack of "Rockers"

@indole_gaines @NewWaveAndPunk Love Toots Was Pressure Drop in the Harder They Come movie? Heard many covers over the years (Clash is best) IIRC Toots did Steppin’ Razor (I’m Dangerous) in the movie But it’s been quite a while

@NewWaveAndPunk And this was a 12" releassed in 1978 youtu.be/luNXIdsosys?si…

@NewWaveAndPunk Junior revisited the rhythm twice. Here he is with my old pal Earl "Chinna" Smith youtu.be/QSpUJW0uX2k?si…

@GlasgowAdvocate "Delilah" and "The Boston Tea Party" both made the UK top Twenty. SAHB had five Top Twenty albums, all of which went silver (sold over 60,000 copies). I am honestly surprised you have never met a Glasgow lawyer who remembers them from the Seventies

@PresidentSsc Nobody I know has heard of any of those songs - Deliah maybe by Tom Jones 🤦🏻

@GlasgowAdvocate Another from the "OGWT" in 1975, the same show they did "Delilah" on TV for the first time youtu.be/svSV_G65CF4?si…

@GlasgowAdvocate Nobody remembers "Next"? "The Impossible Dream"? "Tomorrow Belongs To Me"? "The Faith Healer"? "The Boston Tea Party"? I am honestly surprised. youtu.be/zqx5j-FuqeI?si…

@RodBoag @BSmithBenS Phil Ackrill has just had his 59th birthday playing the role of Faul McCartney, obviously

@PresidentSsc @BSmithBenS Sort of like Paul McCartney?

Conspiracies junkies get dumber by the day.

Paul McCartney would have been 83 years old today.... youtu.be/n7QZNZx2QKA?si…

@BSmithBenS Absolutely ludicrous. Paul McCartney died in November 1966 as everyone knows

Bonkersville tea party.

@OVOEnergy Top Tip: When your customer (in full-time employment) has a job booked to be done after 2.00pm it is not helpful to change the appointment time to 8.00am AND NOT ASK THE CUSTOMER IF THAT SUITS

@tpjdavies @EdwynCollins Indeed he was. That's one of my favourite pop trivia facts.

@PresidentSsc @EdwynCollins True.Jewry was also the second Shane Fenton,taking on the name from the deceased Johnny Theakston.

Alvin Stardust - My Coo Ca Choo (Official Music Video) youtu.be/b0ZqNBd_orI?si… Morning Glam Rock People, Great tune, maybe is shit , 1970s , Enjoy Folks-Edwyn

@EdwynCollins Not fact. The vocal on this was by Peter Shelley (not the Buzzcocks one, the "Love Me Love My Dog" one) Bernard "Shane Fenton" Jewry sang as Alvin Stardust on his later singles

PPS aka Shane Fenton, fact!!!!!!!!!-Edwyn
