Seagulls Ska featured on Radio 4's Front Row Arts programme!!!

[Peter Grummit]

Imagine my suprise, when posh bint presenter started an item by saying: "Living with 2 Brighton & Hove Albion fans as I do..." and went on to introduce a clip from Tom Hark, leading in to a piece about the origins of the song in South Africa, with a township music expert on the line!!

Good mentions of the campaign and of Attila. Apparently Tom Hark is an abbreviation of Tomahawk, which were carried around in the early townships as 'protection'.

The brilliant thing about this is it will have been heard by those who don't listen to the charts or football eg. MPs.

Superb.
So Tom Hark = tomahawk. Always wondered about why the original was called that.....
Radio 4 is just ace.
(Not just 'cos they have me one more often than the others either!)

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

Posh bints can be insatiable. I hope the 2 Albion fans aren't letting the side down.

It strikes me that there can be very few residents of this fair isle who are not now aware of the Falmer issue. Surely, if the Labour party are looking for a (much needed) pre-election boost, they could do no better than have JP announcing a positive decision on Falmer in late April......imagine the fantastic pro-Prescott (hence pro-Labour) publicity we could ensure was generated......
