Go son, go down to the water
And see the women skanking there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are skanking too

Father, why are all the women skanking?
They are skanking for their men
Then why are all the men there skanking?
They are skanking back at them

This is a skanking song
A song in which to skank
While all the men and women sleep
This is a skanking song
But I won’t be skanking long

Father, why are all the children skanking?
They are merely crying son
Oh, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true skanking is yet... to come

This is a skanking song
A song in which to skank
While all the men and women sleep
This is a skanking song
But I won’t be skanking long

Oh father, tell me are you skanking?
Your face seems wet to touch
Oh, then I’m so sorry, father
I never thought I hurt you so much

This is a skanking song
A song in which to skank
While we rock ourselves to sleep
This is a skanking song
But I won’t be skanking long
But I won’t be skanking long
But I won’t be skanking long
But I won’t be skanking long

Punky Reggae Birthday Party

this way lies madness

Oh no lol

I mean I really wish that he had not gone, but given that he did, this is the best possible justification. https://t.co/LD1EtRx5Dp

for someone whose grandad was a soviet spy he's such a soft as shit lib!

Lol I did not know this!

yep, his grandad was Arthur Wynn - the KGB's recruitment man in London!

How did he even get invited in the first place? Is Camilla a fan or something? I didn't see JG Thirwell on the guest list.

Black dye job on a 64-year-old man is not a good look btw, maybe he'll pivot to the McCartney/Cliff light brown infused with grey, also a bad look though.

he's probably been hobnobbing with all the right people for years

Gotta match the black hair plugs

Stagger Stylee

invite as plus one of current wife susie, who founded and runs the fashion label the vampire's wife (which is popular with various mid-age royals)

idk who else is on the guest list for this but cave is surely much more firmly establishment/adopted national treasure than someone like thirlwell, respectable mojo/observer aoty presence, fawning documentaries, wrote the theme tune to pesky blinders

pesky blinders that’s right

henry's dream, more like sniper's dream amirite

I think it was something to do with the Australian PM, he nominated people who could attend ... something like that anyway,

invite as plus one of current wife susie, who founded and runs the fashion label the vampire's wife (which is popular with various mid-age royals)

He was invited as one of 14 "outstanding Australians". Susie was not there, or if she was then she wasn't with her husband.

What, they managed to find 14 outstanding Australians?

(joke)

Guess Angus Young doesn't count as an Aussie then. Did they have 14 oustanding Scots too?

lol picture fail, it was a hilarious cartoon of Billy Connolly wearing a monocle from Viz.

https://fezpage.tripod.com/billy.jpg

LOL, it refuses to post!

that was one of the funniest strips Viz ever did

i thought that was supposed to be a comment on outstanding Australians

Guess Angus Young doesn't count as an Aussie then. Did they have 14 oustanding Scots too?

aiui Angus Young lives primarily in the Netherlands, not the UK

now i'm wondering whether Ant or Dec was the plus one

sorta skimming back up this thread and just had to google to see if Jim Thirlwell wrote the theme to Pesky Blinkers

Never forget:

Rowan Williams- Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations.

Complex and with clear Eastern influences, Rowan is the flagship flavour of the Sensations range. Yes it's the sort of crisp you could take to Cambridge high table but it's also a crisp with an air of dark, Dostoevskyian mystery too. pic.twitter.com/huUuAEHjQa

good to see Sir Nick's hair transplant is holding up so well.

The cat with no hat would be bald in the pate

the vain cunt even dyes his eyebrows.

the vain cunt even dyes his eybrows.

He should have gone the Vicente Fernandez route - let the hair go white but dye the eybrows (and mustache) black.

lol. Recently I was watching a showdown on a kind of Mexican Idol between a Chente imitator and an Amy Winehouse imitator.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa_UiDcXOxQ

If Cave had shown up to the coronation dressed in full Chente-swag that would have been an improvement.

and i thought the ska puns were bad, but this petty "omg his hair" turn is gross ... like, this is the kind of superficial bullshit that enabled all the fat shaming / body policing garbage visited on women on ilx for over a decade

absolute nonsense sarah

unless you are joking!

nonsense says the cis-male who didn't have to endure it in the same way?

I mean, seriously, hate the guy's music, fine. Hate the guy's politics, fine.

hating every aspect of the guy is fine as well

it's not like he's some vulnerable person, if anything the opposite according to rumours

I'm not joking. It makes me uncomfortable to see people I otherwise like behaving like mean girls idk

i guess where i'm coming from is that as mortal people, we are all vulnerable in that sense ... aging, mortality ... attack the aspects of the person where they aren't, or, something
