A phrase that will be familar to all late 80’s layabouts such as myself as being from the epic “Going For Gold” which featured Classic FM (Slogan:Without us Beethoven wouldn’t have been nothing) DJ , Henry Kelly presiding over a titanic quiz show battle whiuch featured a plethora of Europeans, all of whom had English as second language, beating the arse of the English and Irish contestants every week. Althouigh some of the English ones were from Liverpool so that’s probably why.
Anybloodyway, I’m catching up as a combination of televised football , a social calender which would stretch a minor member of the Royal Family,and the evil efforts of the dread can’t be arsed monster, meant I didn’t post a tracklisting last week.

Ah, those days of being a lazy student watching Going For Gold. Why, when Henry started the question with, “What am I?…”, did no one ever chip in with, “a cunt”?
Patrick Thornton!? Soap and water, lad, soap and water!
No, but he was a cunt, though
