  1. I've loved Mark Knopfler since that late 70s night when a friend & I were mesmerized by a song we heard on his car radio: it was "Sultans of Swing" (Dire Straits)!

    Nothing tops that first mind-blowing experience, but only it makes me doubt that "Why Aye Man" is Knopfler's best song.

    It's the most elegant critique of Thatcherism I've heard, & beautiful to boot!

  7. #Geordie The guitarist from #KillingJoke left us a week or so back…

    He sure had a unique style… the chords and lead seemed to flow in and out of one another

    #KingsAndQueens

    While the world goes crazy
    As it's just another day
    And we've all been through the mangle
    And our pockets are empty
    But we'll live like kings and queens

  8. Here's a question: I went for a nice walk around Ashington Community Woodland before work this morning. I got all of the words on this info board, apart from Kyst, and I can't find a specifically Geordie/Pitmatic/Northumbrian translation online, although I did see that in Scots it means Chest, so I most likely something to do with that. Does anyone know?

    Update! It's a chest, to keep things in down the pit
