    Unsurprising that you’re an Oasis fan.

    I'm actually more a Blur fan, or Radiohead, but they're all good bands with great albums.

    I'll go listen to WTSMG now to try and offset molloy's bad juju.

    Once you get finished with the new ABBA stuff you should give them a listen!

    It very much had to do with a time and place in life, but I loved Definitely Maybe and What's The Story Morning Glory... I always ****ing hated Blur and can't stand Radiohead post-OK Computer. Oasis songs were simple, but I still think some of them were great.

    Fairly sure I've trotted this out before, but what a shower of arseholes:

    I never realised that the Oasis v Blur rivalry was actually a real thing until I came to Ireland. In New Zealand it was viewed as a marketing gimic but having spoken to people who grew up here in the 90s and early 00s, it was real. The fans really bought into it. Bizarre.

    That will never happen. But I will agree on Blur and Radiohead (up to OK Computer).

    Presume the 13 man code of Rugby is Off-Topic but thought this quality finishing was worth sharing.

    New Radiohead is actually good. It's not acceptable to pull the "I liked them before the were cool card" because it's actually cooler to like them after they were cool. Check at the next communal meeting, it's in the statutes.

    I like Radiohead tunes but **** me their fans are some of the most miserable people on the planet. Saw them in the 3 last year and the crowd had the atmosphere of a funeral.

    He can sing and he can help write songs and he's absolutely loaded. He's obviously seriously compensating for his folicular defect but I'd have no problem with him at all.

    Obvously noone will ever reach the musical heights of what Two Door Cinema Club bestowed onto the globe, but he's definitely done well for himself.

    Ed Sheeran's great, he seems like an all round good bloke who's really enjoying what he does.

    I don't like some of his stuff but Castle on the Hill is a great song, a great song.

    If you listen to a full Radiohead album, you’ll be ****ing miserable too. Good music but more depressing than being an Ulster fan at play off time.

    Ed Sheeran does my head in.

    It's like him and Adele were put on this earth with the sole intention of pìssing me off.
    His appeal is right from 6 year old girls (I'm including awec in this category), middle aged housewives (awec is also in this category) through to blue rinse grannys (again awec makes this category).

    I'd love to see his notebook for his lyric ideas...

    Dance through the rain
    Remember when we were 9
    I loved you before I knew you
    My eyes see your love
    Schooldays seems like forever away
    We used to laugh forever
    Who knew my best friend would be my one true love

    Feel free to use any of the above shìte Ed.

    On the music has anyone heard of Lafayette Rock Band? My mate sent me a link last week....they are very good.

    Listened to a couple of their tunes last night. They're alright. Sunny weather chill out tunes. I'd probably be allowed to play them at the next BBQ. Remind me a bit of The Roots and De La Soul.

    The bands that have been getting the most play on my Spotify over the past few weeks are Disturbed and Sabaton. I'm not allowed to play them at the BBQs.

    The Roots

    *Internet high five*

    Now they are quality.

    Been a ferocious few weeks in work, haven't really had time to get up to speed. What have the parliamentarians done to exacerbate the issue?

    It's just an unforgivable cluster ****. This summary is worth reading; 2014 audit showed 208 women were falsely given the all clear, of which 17 are dead and 162 still to be informed that their original test was a false negative. The woman at the centre of the case (now with under a year to live) had the audit results delayed to her by three years because her GP and the head of the HSE subsidiary argued over who should tell her. Head of the HSE has refused to resign over it, citing that he "can’t take full responsibility for it". In the UK, forget the NHS, they'd be looking for a new health minister.
