🚨 It's Mixtape time! This week’s theme: Songs about European cities 🎶 What are the best songs about European cities? Let's hear em! 👇

@poguesofficial Brilliant. Didnt realise there was a time that Cait was in the band with Terry and Phil, thought Darryl was in before they joined

This is a snapshot! The Pogues at Farm Aid 40 years ago. What a time that was. Nice intro from Ronnie too

@JVMonte2 Rum, Sodomy & the Lash @poguesofficial

What’s a non-self-titled studio album with no title track? Example: Physical Graffiti has no track of that name…your turn 👊

@ShaneMacGowan Lullaby of London

Tell us your favourite Shane MacGowan song 🎧⬇️ shanemacgowan.os.fan/favesong

@gives26867 @SteveMascord Why pick on us???? ❤️🧡🖤

@SteveMascord Mad that clubs like Batley & Dewsbury are going to have a big say on the future of clubs like Wigan & Leeds. Ridiculous.

The big question is: if the vote is “no” will the clubs who vote “yes” break ranks?

@spiderstacy @OhBrotherShow Great interview, really enjoyed listening to this

Absolutely loved chatting with the Hanley brothers about band life and lead singers on the @OhBrotherShow SPIDER STACY - A Man You Don't Meet Everyday shows.acast.com/605f39df77590c…

@andrewvitu @WiganFans_RL Didn’t @Saints1890 go down under and win? 🏆

@WiganFans_RL lol. Look the Robins deserved the win but you try flying across the world and playing in a time slot where you're normally asleep, cold from an offseason, and it's zero degrees and raining... the conditions Hull play in every week. If it was a dry field Bronx score 2x

NRL, biggest TV deal in Australia and have the pick of the sporting talent in the world Super League/RL , probably not even top 10 sports in UK If we had the same appeal/Money that NRL has in Australia, it wouldn’t be close.

@Tedisiek @Rory_Talks_Ball Just been to Madeira, hills and mountains everywhere. Great 5g whether in the city, on the beach, in the valleys or up the mountain!

Mobile data in the UK is notoriously patchy, I always just put it down to the terrain, Hills everywhere etc. We used to get fantastically reliable and fast service in Poland which is pretty much flat where we live. 5g comes along and my phone may as well have a cable attached to it. Mobile data is non existent. Sweden somehow when we went last year. Consistently good quality LTE/4G. Challenging terrain, sparsely populated. Something isn’t working

5G in Britain is actually disgracefully bad I managed to watch the entire Arsenal game on my phone whilst on a bus driving through the wilderness of the arctic circle Literally not a single interruption apart from a brief stint in a tunnel through a mountain I don’t even get 5G in London half the time

@VaniNaik7 @jet2tweets Have you heard anything?

@thehullram @jet2tweets Same - I’ve alerted them that updated flight timings appear for other destinations but nothing for EMA

@jet2tweets due to fly back to East Midlands tomorrow from Madeira, all flights seem to be cancelled from the UK to here, but haven’t heard anything this end. Any idea so we can plan work etc……

@VaniNaik7 @jet2tweets No. Had a text to say we would find out by 8pm than nothing. You?

@thehullram @jet2tweets Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone in the information desert!

@VaniNaik7 @jet2tweets Nope

@thehullram @jet2tweets Hi Matt, just wondering if you’ve heard anything concrete? Am on same flight and not got anywhere w a new flight time

@pjmccluskey @ShaneMacGowan Yeah, remember there was talk for a long time about the second album. Think at one stage every song was going to have the word ‘Paddy’ in it from memory.

@thehullram @ShaneMacGowan (2/2) were changes in studios and the production team. There was, I think, an element of rushing it out in the end. That probably didn't benefit the overall quality.

From the same 'Jools Holland Hootenanny', Kirsty MacColl performing "Miss Otis Regrets" with, I think, the band of The Coldstream Guards. youtu.be/N4sZUfQ97po?is…

@pjmccluskey @ShaneMacGowan At one stage they were on the verge of doing something great. The first album is a stonker! Second, not so good, sadly

@thehullram @ShaneMacGowan It would have been special if that had happened. I'd seen Shane and the Popes here in Dublin a month earlier and they were superb. Probably one of the best gigs I ever went to.
