Sharp GF-555. I had this for my 18th birthday and it's still going strong! Both tape decks had new belts a couple or three years ago but that's it.

Before we post the last player, WGyM want to thank every player who has represented Wales Women through the years. Thanks to the players who are missing through injury, the players who just missed out, and the pioneers who - without them - we wouldn't be here now. Wela i chi yn Swistir! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

There was a reunion a few years ago, and a CD of old, unreleased recordings (that I've still never managed to find!). www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yo...

Jab Jab were from Huddersfield, they played a mixture of reggae, rock, highlife and calypso, which may be why they never got signed... not easy enough to market? They were a huge live draw though, one of the great lost bands I reckon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEsV...

Not one person demanding that Bob Vylan is arrested for his 'Death to the IDF' chant has said anything about the British citizens serving in the IDF who have committed actual war crimes in Palestine. If you think a chant is more criminal than murder & genocide, get a grip.

They absolutely stank. Even Gary Numan's set of turgid goth metal was enough to blow them away.

The vocalist for Bob Vylan is working class, black and from London - I'm sure it's not the first time he's been harassed unfairly by the police.

#EURO2025 starts in less than a week. Our team - the lowest ranked in the tournament - have to play the holders, the previous holders and France. And I'm like:

Our government is selling arms being used to commit genocide. Israel kills a child every 45 minutes. We are all Palestine Action. 🇵🇸

What I saw of the day's coverage was generally fairly grim, but Pulp were absolutely dire. At least Gary Numan and his band managed to sound as if they were actually awake.

This will happen, and there'll be countless people moaning about it but ultimately they'll just suck it up. The only way that shit like this will stop is when people start cancelling subscriptions and stop going to games. How much worse does the PL have to get for that to happen, I wonder?
