Thanks for that keen assessment Gizmo. It’s a great story from WorldbyStorm. I really should aim for the same level of clarity in all of my comments just to keep you happy

Many years ago I happened to be going out with a woman in Manchester who lived in a former council flat in Hulme which she told me had been owned by the bass player in the Fall. I was mighty impressed - as one would be - at least until years later I realised just how many bass players there had been in the Fall…

Never mind about being a Leeds fan, anyone who takes the opportunity to mention (in a Guardian article) that they write for The Guardian regularly and once owned an MG deserves no sympathy really. He says his girlfriend left him because of his obsession with the book, but being a good Fall fan her favourite song might have been ‘Slates, Slags etc’. and she couldn’t get over the fact that, at the end of the day, he was just a slag.

I think I may have been a member of Allies for part of a weekend in the early 90s…
Or maybe I’d just slept in a skip.

For the bloke you quote from :
“My beloved Leeds United were relegated, then deducted 10 points, then 15″
That’s no curse - it’s called natural justice.
