Also, that in reality, you only have two guns
But I still agree in principle that it's a big line for a song
(Also, two guns are too many guns)

We see your treason clearly ahhhh!

Try speaking to one, and not being so entitled to think the rules don't apply to you

And then you can't actually change details when you get a new car, making it impossible to park in those car parks
(True story, still trying to get details changed a year later, I'm not at all grumpy about it)

Very nice, well done

It's not your employers job to get you to your job

Isn't it brilliant

I just lay in bed early this morning and listened to Lustres with my headphones on, and now I know that even though I have only just finished an album, I need to start on the next one

The sort of people that would shout about you having to accept cash, are also the sort of people that think cash on Barber are all money laundering

Could well be, interesting

Laica In the music of Laica there's a sense of something more concrete having been deliberately and forcibly rubbed away, leaving just a vague impression of a more tangible piece of music. The effect is haunting, the musical equivalent of trying to remember a dream when all that's left is the barest trace outline.

It's Bandcamp Friday and although I have nothing new out just yet, it would be great if you took a listen to some older bits and maybe even purchased something.
New album coming soon

I see we are finally going to hear Mambo Number 6

Perfect, I know it well

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I heard exactly the same story about Bedford uni back in the 90s, it's either an urban myth, or a lot of people now in their late 40s were total shits

Baaarrmm barm bup baarrrrmmmm

Roflmao or something shit, smile emoji lol

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

It was better when George Lucas created it

Aaaahhhhh animal!
Saying that, I do like a lemsip

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

Very nice, though I read it as the poster now having been married to a teacher 34 years

These people are animals!

It's at times like these that people feel at their most helpless, I hope you make it through

"You" haven't.
And, to be honest, not have I, I have been sleeping on this, soz.

I normally say "Bugger off" but you do you

They may be hard nosed cops who won't play by the rules, but they also don't seem to know that, beer is not a brand, nor is whiskey, which is better with a mixer by the way, drinking alone in the dark isn't cool and taking paracetamol with water is easier

Worst Cornetto ever!

Yay, I will celebrate with you, I have one and it's smashing

It seems to me
You betrayed your wife
Causing a scandal in the wind . . .
