Elvis Costello Fan Forum

As an NHS employee, I feel the best support Elvis could give me personally at this moment would be access to his personal archive - only the live stuff you understand, I'm not greedy and this would alleviate the strain my colleagues are feeling when I return to work at the end of April (at the late...

we'll need to switch soon to 'are there 3 worse'. there'll be little to choose from. ain't that great!! How about: Sour Milk Cow Blues The Great Unknown The Deportees Club Or: I Dreamed Of My Old Lover How Deep Is The Red She Was No Good I've always loved Sour Milk Cow Blues and I don't mind I Drea...

Looks like you're the winner Mr. Getgood and glad we met at Southampton at least !!

Actually that's about the best opening salvo of any of his albums !

Dammit, everytime someone comes up with a suggestion, my top 3 "top 3" get changed !! Great shout!

how about "Pump It Up" Little Triggers" "You Belong To Me" from This Year's Model or my choice "Secondary Modern" "King Horse" "Possession" from Get Happy! or "Toledo" "I Still Have That Other Girl" "This House Is Empty ...

Sulky, tempted as I am to your solution - much more than the likely outcome - I feel it's too simplistic approach. Clearly to be awarded the big prize there needs to be a range of factors taken into consideration. I truly believe that any club which can satisfy all these tests truly deserves to be ...

The Residents Social Club looks like the inside of the hotel I stayed in in Carlisle on my recent jaunt around the U.K. - don't ask why I stayed in Carlisle ?!!!

For ColinTB's benefit and definitely not for Goon Squad's I think the fairest way the League can solve the crisis is to award the Premiership based on the Alphabet - another title for my beloved Gooners, you see !!

Any ideas what the connotation of Basing Street - is it anything to do with Pony Street ?

Brilliant as always, thanks Mike !

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes and prayers - lots of gifts on their way soon !

I had to look up the meaning of "purple patch." I never heard that before. What's the origin? No idea - I'm guessing that Purple is associated with royalty and more especially Imperialism and that was because the cost of the dye used to make anything purple was inordinately expensive - I ...

Good old Neil - great comment!
Mrs Sulky and I both retired at the end of February and now we’re both anticipating an early recall back to the NHS !! Just my luck - first cancellations in 2018 was bad enough but expecting now a resumption of our careers.

If it’s like his tours does that mean every two years to get ready?

For the record, I think the seemingly constant need from many quarters to politicise the current crisis is unnecessary. Agreed. When Wayne Rooney has to make an anti- government point about it, it’s clearly gone too far. I’m no Tory but I thought the response in the press conference on Thursday was...

I wonder how much of the cancellation was driven by the need to get home before the flight restrictions from the UK to the US kicks in. No need to hang around seeing Liverpool crowned champions anymore Just time for a quick trip to see his mum then on to the airport. For the record, I think the see...

In light of the Oxford announcement, the bad news is the AXS have sent a message to say all 3 dates have been postponed and information on rescheduled dates will be announced in 2 weeks. Personally it’s difficult to see when new dates would be rearranged. Nobody has any idea how long and what impac...

“in all likelihood London would mark the end of the tour”. Let’s hope not. In moaning news, I hate the “His aim is still true” headline. It’s so commonly used as well. :roll: I remember Elvis criticising journalists for “lazy writing” and using that is just as bad, after all he basically got us to ...
