Saw UB40 live many years ago. They absolutely milked Red Red Wine for all it was worth. Walked out before the end of the show. Shame, as I'm quite partial to a bit of reggae.
Saw them in 2010, "celebrating" 30 years since release of "Signing off".
Went with BiL and we were big fans of their genre.
Unknown to us there was a big rift in the band at the time with the Campbell family contingent.
They played quite a few instrumentals during which Ali showed no interest, walking off stage. He showed no interest in the band or the audience and simply did what he was paid for - fronting his songs.
We were incredibly disapponted at the poor atmosphere and, in the interval, agreed to leave and go for a beer.
Just ticket money accepted without gratitude.

I still appreciate the albums though 😇

Agreed, free travel for education is a good idea as long as it is a mile or more away.
In Scotland, under 22s can get free bus travel 24/7.
Some say it has caused an increase in anti-social behaviour. I’m one of them!
In a car, .. school is about 7 miles door to door.. 20-30 mins in rush hour traffic.
Instead he gets dropped off at local station.. there are kids from 2 or 3 other secondary schools.. they take train, then walk another 15 mins at the other end. Repeat at the end of thr day. I think it builds social skills too. School does not do bus..


Plays some calming music, sits comfortably crossing legs and switches on recorder.
"So Mudball, how long have you been together? You and the Mrs that is."

Divorcing for tax purposes is out of question.. it I broach the topic, Mrs will cut my nalls off .. I could then claim disability benefits..

Youre not the bloke in a previous joke are you?
Comes in bladdered after a night out with bunch of mates, falls up the stairs, crashes into bed, burps and says "Ooh, I loves you". His wife says "That's the beer talking again".
He says "No, thass me talking to my beer".

Milestone birthday coming up… Mrs said, we should celebrate and get friends over. I m not big into it and I said.. let’s see

Weekend my old school mates called me while they were drinking. In the 10 mins of the call, we planned a lads weekend out around my birthday. It was very simple.

The only fly is that Mrs heard me ‘enthusiastically planning’ the boys trip… I have been getting cold shoulder and not much since the weekend. She has not said a word yet, but I can sense a disturbance in the force.

Why do women have to spoil everything by getting involved. If the boys go, we will just sit in a bar and drink and tell old jokes before we go back, pop some meds and go to bed. And we r fine that way..
She's not "spoiling" it. She wants you two to be together for a milestone birthday.
I get on with my mates but I don't like them more then my Mrs, she's my best friend. Imagine if you planned something for her and she said "no thanks I'd rather be with my friends than you." How would you feel?
Well she's feeling that.
