Seymour’s nonsense doesn’t reflect the whole electorate at all. My homes of nigh on 20 years fall within the boundaries and we’ve had former institutional patients accomodation, alcohol and drug recovery houses and paitients, admittedly some more disturbing to residents than others, but without harm. Currently hostel accommodation partying is more disturbing and I can certainly cope with backpackers enjoyment. Accepting difference seems ACT’s issue.

Occasional mentions of the Eurythmics.
And more than I could list of Chaka Khan…
Oh, and there’s Judas Priest and Radiohead too. I’m sure someone will have links for those…
* Selection/voting doginess noted in article and comments but at least it’s an excuse for some great performances, like only a blinding Prince solo, which I suspect is more the point. If only this years’ were on stage.

Oh! Cheers for that Kate Bush doco. Needed that.

there’ll be another bit of utter crazy along in a minute,
usually immediately after a policy announcement, derailing the conversation from a significant issue to one guy's brainfart.
Bathos indeed.

Does anyone have John Clarke' s 'Hide and Seeky Bird' off Fane Flaws children's album please? Such brevity; such wit; so appropriate for him to deliver.
