...by the wrong spelling of Dukla Prague you displease all fans of that club. Is it OK?

[EdwardianLampoon]

No disrespect was intended stanislavjares Dukla Prague was and is a very good team but I refer you to my earlier answer.

i.e. I can't be arsed.

[prestolovesvarla]

Fuckin genius! is it spelled 'Ducla' or 'Dukla'... (yes i am that pedantic :)

[EdwardianLampoon]

It is spelt Dukla, I have been told this numerous times by people more pedantic than your good self but I refuse to correct my mistake, partly because it Irks The Purists and partly because I can't be arsed.

[mostlybytrain]

Some say you can't set words like this to music!

Superb!!

[EdwardianLampoon]

Now he's working,

in a job with a future,

he hands me my giro,

every two weeks.

My favourite HMHB song ever, they never got the recognition they totally deserved, Back in the DHSS again has to be one of the best LP's of all time.....

[Oscar301]

[bobbydj01]

Way to not spell it right - CHECK YOUR FACTS. Its JEWKLER Prague.

Asshat.

[SenyorPirotecnic]

[liverpoolbellend]

[britishdrummer2k9]

[andyparse]

[37201xoim]

Hellfire! Sound avatar, too ;-)

[NightLightPrague]

and I think there was a whole album of stuff like this- things like "Dickie Davies Eyes" and "Do you ken Ted Moult". Fan-tastic.

[NightLightPrague]

Wow. That brings back some memories. From recollection I actually saw this on BBC2 one Tuesday or Wednesday night as a teenager and went down to Woolies and bought it the same week.

[saweston1]

the hook before the 1st verse sounds like the intro to 'london calling'....

[andyparse]

Its commin up 17 year since my mam lost er face to a dodgy transformer.

Be warned.

R.I.p Maa. Ya crazy bint

[duklapragueawaykit]

[Grachan]

I was singing this to myself just yesterday after 5Live reported a hotly disputed penalty in one of their match reports.

[andyparse]

its funny cos its all so true. my scalextic transformer blew up and killed my mam.lol ill never forget that day.

I had to make do with a shit stretch armstrong that was leaving gluey type shit that tasted like treakle.

[andyparse]

[nirdoor]

i remember watching this on a tape that a mate of mine had years ago,class! a song you can relate to,i used to love subeuteo...and this song from a great album by a great band..sheer poetry!

[rankbadjin]

lyric's you can identify with! saw them in edinburgh in '87 and missed the last bus home!

[Anoraky]

I had this on video for year until it was stolen in a burglary - now I can see it again ! Thanks. I remember watching it on Whistle Test, they did Trumpton Riots as well I think. I saw them a few days after at Leeds Poly - marvellous.

[vegetubleman]

Jesus, I didn't know there were any videos of them from this long ago, I'm in a state of shock! Nigel looks like the singer out of a Flock of Bunnymen or something . . .
