A reminder that not everybody will be disappointed by P&O's actions

I would have thought most of them couldn’t write to be fair.

Mitch Benn weighs in:

I listened to a bit of "Any Questions" in the car on the way home. According to Bob Seely (the MP for the IoW), the RMT is to blame, being a "dinosaur union". It was enjoyable hearing him get torn a new one by the rest of the panel for that.

Overall impression listening to him on other matters: he's a bit of a cunt.

Apart blaming unions, a Tory from 1982 would point out our neighbours’ ferry routes are booming while ours are in decline due to pie-in-the-sky ideology placing bureaucracy and trade barriers on the economy.

You won, STFU.

Roger Daltrey has said he feels “very disappointed” with the lack of progress he feels the UK has made after Brexit.

“I’m disappointed we haven’t made the most of it – I’m really disappointed that we haven’t burned an awful lot of useless regulation,” he said.

“I just put in planning permission for a building on the farm and just to get the planning in its cost me something like £40,000. It’s f***ing ridiculous. Who the bloody hell’s got that?”

What the actual fuck? He thinks planning laws were made in Brussels?

Thick as mince.

£40k before anything built? What is it the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?

Good looks and a hell of a set of pipes was all he was required to bring to the party, thinking was Townshend's department.

Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.

Seems he can get fooled again.

I am not wishing him death but I would welcome a period of prolonged silence, now that he is very old.

I can imagine knocking about with the Who in general would be quite unbelievably tiresome.

I'm not that old. But, I did do a session once with an Ovation 12-string Breadwinner which had been borrowed from Donovan.

No, me neither, ask Malcolm.

I had assumed for ages that Ovation had went tits up years ago. I was surprised to find they were still going. Why they've never reissued the GP2, which would be a license to print money is beyond me.

Anyway, it just defeats me how of all those "rock giants" of old, The Who genuinely seem to never have enjoyed any of it, at any time, for various different reasons.

Afraid not, that's a Framus.

This is an Ovation Balladeer.

Looks like Donovan to me

I don't know what a GP2 is but I am still hankering after a 1260. They play like cheese graters but, unfortunately, that's how I learnt and I just have to put up with it.

The one I played was a solid-body, wine red electric with the trademark asymmetric body.
