Heard a great story about him... when he was a nipper, about 14, he used to go to his local club to dance and the bouncers used to let him in despite his age because he was such a charismatic lad. He used to climb up onto a railing above the dance floor and do all his signature moves all night and inevitably used to have bottles thrown up at him. Apparently he used to catch as many as he could and stored them on a ledge for refreshments but occasionally used to launch one back where it came from and when it landed the bouncers used to drag out whoever it had hit because they knew that was the perpetrator because his aim was so good.

He's also a petrol head, so it's all good.
Go on. Point out on the map which one you are.
Well, cnuts, I suppose, but that's not in England.

I feel personally attacked
Growing up I idolised their first bassist - Stu Zender. I learned every single bass part from the first three albums. I met the guy once in a club in God knows where and he was what we would call a "gid cnut" as opposed to a "massive cnut" that I had been informed he would be.
VIC REEVES. I FECKING TOLD YOUSE.
Ooo, Vic Reeves.
Trombone Shorty excellent- I know it’s old footage
Fecking hell, me too! I gave up the saxophone and blagged my way into a band at 19. Taught myself the bass by listening to Jah Wobble, Stuart Zender and Mani and Tina Weymouth. Stu Zender was a maniac and Jamiroquai weren’t the same after he left.
It's an OAP special this year.
Hold on, he's put Squeeze on, his own band. Actually, a decent band, tbf.
Jools is an OAP
If you look closely at cnutfaced you’ll see my swimming poolGo on. Point out on the map which one you are.
I'm watching MU-RM 2003.
I'll welcome my new year with my favourite match.

The drummer looks 80 odd.
My man! Yeah after he left and then Toby a few years later their music just took a massive nosedive. I'd even take an album like Synchronized again. Nick Fyffe did a decent job filling Zender's shoes, even if I didn't think it was true at the time.
Happy New Year cuntos
Hello 2021
I wish happy new year to you you degenerate dogs.
Same to you sassy c
Yeah, I’m hindsight but it was a jolting comedown at the time. Synchronized isn’t a bad album even now, his first three albums are still really listenable.
Did you manage to sell your bass last week?
Happy new year
Thought I’d spotted Cathy Burke ....then realised it was Rick Wakeman
They had some great fireworks by the riverside here, didn't expect that.
Don't worry, they don't allow pets here.

Correct. I’ve never been able to sell my sax or my bass. Don’t pick them up anymore other than when I rummage around in the loft but too sentimental to get rid.
Dunno what's louder. The fireworks or the wee ned bastards from the crack dens down the road.
There's been loads of fireworks here. I was hoping for a year off.
That’s the nicest thing said to me this year
This, folks, is a perfect example of the "modern singer" who can't actually fecking sing. They have a shite range and have to mumble to give their voice some fake depth. When they're singing in their apparent "comfort zone" they sound like a bag of drowning cats.
Happy New Year all
Hey, Piggy, leave those cats alone!
Oh my I remember watching this madness set with my ex wife in my little Victorian terrace, loved that house before I had to sell it to pay the cheating toerag off in our divorce! Aaah, those were the days!
I feel bad for Tom Jones, he's trapped with Jools being forced to sing song after song. He tried to leave but the door has one of those childproof locks on it so he's pretty much fecked.
Some embarrassing moves in the audience during dizzy rascal ... David Coulthard looking thoroughly baffled 
Saw madness at a stag do in 2018. I was the only one who had teeth and wasn’t covered in tattoos
I quite like Christine and the queens music but watching her perform it is really irritating.
She hosted a show on 6music last week and she was mega annoying.
