Pendants Playlist

Your championship also persists for the following season, so currently Manchester City are the de facto Champions of English football.

So they are absolutely right to continue ‘fighting’ under that banner until it becomes mathematically impossible for them to retain their title.

But that would be hard to make it scan, so substitute ‘mathematically impossible…..etc.’ for ‘the end’ and you’ll see that it’s a perfectly reasonable lyric.

– if the leaves are brown, isn’t that still technically autumn?No, meteorological winter starts on 1st Dec and oaks could still have leaves, as well as beech and hornbeam which would hold some leaves all through winter.

They’re in California…

They’re in California

Surely they are dreaming of going to California?

“I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)”

They’re in California…

Near Great Yarmouth then 🙂

Falkirk surely Maccruiskeen?

Have you not cycled Moscow to California on a warm Scottish day?

The Dutch techno choon James Brown is Dead by L.A. Style, released in 1991, fifteen years before it bore any truth in relation to reality. 

Yaz, “The Only Way is Up!”

Demonstrably incorrect.

Do they know it’s Christmas? Yes. Christianity is a very popular religion in Africa, plus the commercialisation of the festive season will cover any non believers.

There’ll be no snow in Africa this Christmas time.

Yes there will. Kilimanjaro has snow capped peaks, year round.

No rain nor rivers flow Apart from the Nile, one of the longest in the world.

thank you, I thought I was the only one that thought this!

In Working Man by Rush,  Geddy moans about leaving for work at 9 and being home for a beer at 5.

He then moans that he doesn’t have time for living because he’s working all the time. Let’s assume he has a 30 minute commute …9.30 to 4.30 is a pretty cushy working day.

I feel his woes  will fall on deaf ears of NHS workers and those on zero hours contracts.

In my last job, my working day was 6.30am to 6.30pm. With a 30-40 minute commute.

“We don’t need no education”

Erm, yes you do, that’s a double negative.

“Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town”

I’m going to guess the jail?

Mike Oldfield / Maggie Reilly’s “Moonlight Shadow”. 4am in the morning. 4am cannot possibly be in the afternoon.

Moonlight Shadow

Robbie Williams’s “Strong”. And that’s a good line to take it to the bridge. No, Mr. Williams, it is not.

Strong

Oh, and anything by Pendulum, if we’re being pendantic

Elton John – Rocket Man

“Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it’s cold as hell”

Hmmm.  I always thought that Hell had a reputation for most definitely not being cold?

Saturday night’s alright for fighting.

The law disagrees here.

I think you’ll find it’s “pedant’s” playlist.

Pedants’

Year 3000 by Busted. Great, great, great grand daughter…..

They’re in California

Surely they are dreaming of going to California?

Can leaves dream?

Pedants’

If several pedants are contributing to a single playlist.

Anyway. Bluebirds are not to be found in the vicinity of Dover, as they’re not a native species.

‘Thunder only happens when it’s raining’

Not necessarily.

I’ve never really looked at that album cover before (not my sort of thing at all), but has Mick there got a pair of fake bollocks dangling? Wassat about then?

“Err, no. Christmas is at the end of the year, the new year is still a week away.”

New Year is during Christmas.  And yes there will be snow somewhere in Africa, not everyone will be having fun and snowmen are not responsible for snow.

“Have you not cycled Moscow to California on a warm Scottish day?”

I have always fancied a cross border run doing Oxford to Cambridge

“Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town”

I’m going to guess the jail?

London has many jails.

‘Are we human or are we dancer?’: is that not a false dichotomy?

Have you not cycled Moscow to California on a warm Scottish day?

https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/cyclists-complete-brilliant-challenge-bike-20865656 – with a beard like that, surely they’re a STWer?

And did those feet, in ancient times
Walk upon England’s mounrtains green?

er no.

‘And did those feet…’. The Swedenborgians thought so.

Ride a White Swan… baby can’t go wrong…
I won’t be putting any baby of mine anywhere near a swan. Can break a man’s arm, apparently.

An all time classic of the genre has to go to Alanis Morissette and ‘Ironic’.

This is an age old “argument”. I remember at Uni the campus drunk who liked the sound of his own voice wrote an article on it on the Union rag. It was time to move on a long time ago.

“Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town”

I’m going to guess the jail?

London has many jails.

indeed. Another that’s been done to death.

went to a party in the county jail…

– Oh really?
– That’s what we’re going with…

“Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak somewhere in this town”

I’m going to guess the jail?

London has many jails.

It’s a city mind.

‘Everybody walk the dinosaur’

Dinosaurs were never domesticated and certainly didn’t require walks.

Wassat about then?

‘Clackers’ , very popular in the late 60s, and like a swan they could break your arm (apparently).

London has many jails.

Gaols surely?

And no it doesn’t, they are all prisons?

I think you’ll find it’s “pedant’s” playlist.

Pedants’

…Pedants’ playlists, if you want to be pedantic

I think you’ll find it’s “pedant’s” playlist.

Is it difficult to hear, what with that wooshing sound? 😉

I’ve listened to that song a million times and yet it’s never struck me how short his working week is. And if he’s hitting the bottle at 5 every evening he’s probably a borderline alcoholic too.

And now I’m beginning to wonder if they ever really did fly through that black hole. I always assumed it was a true story!!

And did those feet, in ancient times
Walk upon England’s mounrtains green?

er no.

Definition of a mountain seems to vary slightly but, generally 300m elevation or approx 610m above sea level is a mountain. Apperently there are over 200 mountains in England.

You can tell by the way I use my walk
I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk

I’ll be honest, I’d thought it was more likely piles playing up?
