I'm not sure what's going on with the capo, there... nonetheless, one of those songs that is simultaneously amusing and yet so truthful that it hurts... Not one for work if you don't have the ability to use headphones.

Agreed leoroberts . 'Amusing and truthful'. Isn't the old adage 'disarm people with humour first' - not sure that's the case here. To me, there is a total lack of pretentiousness - loved it, thanks. Martin

I'd completely forgotten that - I'd messaged Boothby to see if it was some sort of muting thing for the recording and he just messaged me back that picture and called me a dickhead

He's not wrong - hope this goes viral (in a good way).

Boothby Graffoe is very close to where I live... Nah, he's from 'ull (same as dreadnought28 - I doubt they know each other!) According to t'interweb he saw the name driving back from a gig and thought it sounded cool

I don’t know him, after my time I think.
Nearer to Hull is Hutton Cranswick or Burton Agnes. He could have picked them. Best to avoid Scunthorpe as it’s rewritten as Sxxxxhorpe by American servers.

Rarely can something so droll have been so depressing in its dissection of our dire reality. The film played in the background was terrifying in the accuracy of the parallels it draws. Thanks leoroberts , no matter how terrible, we need to be reminded of the truth, especially as it is an alien concept for our current dictatorship. Brian
