@MagnusBruce Some people think it might even be pre-christian. Any advance on 2,000 years?

@medler2110 As a teenager, my late mother worked for an aircraft company during the war. She was part of the team that stripped down war-damaged aircraft for repairs or to get usable parts. The cockpit usually stank of blood and death, there would be lumps of dried blood under the seat and someti...

@satireknight No - but I don't blame some big beard in the sky for my failings. my life is my own.

I loved this song as a teenager. Heard it again recently for the first time in thirty-odd years........ and realised what embarrassing hippie drivel it really is.

Christ, now I feel old.

Wow.....Just, wow.

The genuine smell of the far north in this one. Ice, pine and sea-spray. Easily as good as Peter's original.

Thanks!

@animalthebiker It was written (or rather translated: - the words are 7th century) for Irish band Scullion. Their version is pretty mind-blowing as well, especially the fiddle lament that closes it.

@Tifflina2 No. I'm getting it off several books on the history of coal mining - Many moons ago I wrote an article about the Gresford explosion for a magazine.

@thewriter1008 Would you accuse Pink Floyd of being a watered down King Crimson?

The other way round.

The Damned of being a watered down Ramones? 

Most definitely

Any hard rock band of being a watered down Led Zeppelin?

Le Zep were a BLUES band.

@moe4homer The only problem with that is that a song about depression shouldn't BE dreamy and soothing!

@mig25pd It actually dates back to the British Army in India at the time of the Mutiny.

Apparently, during the English Civil War, General Monck was a Parliamentarian officer with Royalist sympathies, so he marched his troops to this slow march and always got to the battle too late to fight!

@Bloodshotshatterbone Sardines (with extra bones) and mashed potato.

@XieYali Who really did have just two fingers and a thumb on his playing hand.

@lightandbeautiful I think, in your case, it is time to reclaim the appropriate and accurate words "paranoid" and "fuckwit"

Of course, in real life, Canada geese are HORRIBLE birds. They crap everywhere polluting lakes and ponds, make a foul noise and bully smaller birds.

They're good eating, though.

@Corvinae Because singing is louder and can be heard further away?

@beehive41 "Hull Times, 2nd of March, 1889. As day after day passes and no tidings arrive of the missing Grimsby smacks, it is beginning to be realized that the gale of the 9th will prove one of the most disastrous to the Grimsby fishing trade on record. All together nearly a dozen fishing vessel...

@AlgorithmicCrane But especially hide your chimney sweeps!

@sinsaremyspecialty Another: F.A.R.T.

@mikatheneko That should be "I scream", I think.

@lukeboy123321 He's actually a 28-year-old dwarf.

@iacthulu Yep.

@monsieured Ever heard of a channel called ITV?

@SimonIntense They can't spell it either.

@xsuzheartx You are an idiot.Worse - you are an idiot with a sociology GCSE.

Life is too short to read crap like Easton Ellis, thanks.

@BlackMariah69 Yeah, he was one of us. An ordinary human being with the faults and fears of an ordinary human being. Still one of the great poets, though.

@Eddie123xyz Yes, but it was going to end at some time.Death is forever.

@LilaMae99 What's wrong with ritual human sacrifice?

@calico675 7 months and 50 cent still hasn't beat up Charlie Brooker. He IS a pussy!

@BeBeAyumiReturns No it is actually the Secret Islamic Brotherhood - look at all the crescents there...........

being as respectful to Nephtali1981 as I possibly can:......YOU'RE A FUCKWIT!

@ewsihnning Not just Aberfan but all the children who worked and died over the years in the pits. The youngest ever recorded was three years of age.

And we Brits are supposed to care about this for what reason?

And Americans might read the Daily Fail and believe every word, but we don't.

Deeply offensive to right-wing Americans - which makes it OK by me! Good song.

@civiljar You want gusto? Have a listen to Oysterband's version!

@EebstertheGreat MALARIA is better than Britain's Got Freaks...er, Talent.
