"A Father and a Son" is so much better than comparable songs - but it did not receive "airplay".
Tim, have you discovered Richard Thompson?? His career has followed a similar path, with critical acclaim but not huge commercial success, and also with the added bonuses of talented spouses and sprogs...as with LWIII.... I would put his songwriting and guitar work on a par with anyone on the planet.
As an aside, a local listings magazine had a gig down last year as being by The Loudon Wainwright Three.....


Bit of a Bay Window, what??

I'll assume from that, that as I actually knew these people and apparently you didn't, that you have conceded that point of social history.
Of course, I didn't expect you to actually admit that. You think I'm a fish?? You're gonna need a bigger boat....

That made me chuckle. There's an ad on Canadian TV....no idea what it's for but there's a dinner party and it's full of movie quotes.

You're gonna need a bigger boat features when the gravy boat is passed at the table.

My apologies. I thought this is the heading for this forum.

If you don't like the discussion, don't participate.

Typical PC bullying.
There's only one bully here poultice , AND you're a racist to boot.

You put me in mind of the Wizard of oz being exposed as a charlatan,and your curtain has been drawn to reveal a bigotted , contradictory , resentful little man , telling everybody how to conduct a discussion ,while making such vitriolic remarks you leave no opening for decent replies to be made.
You have insulted people here whose Knowledge ( not only on britmovies ) humour ,and sense of decency I have come to respect , and for that I despise you.

You at least have been honest in admitting you haven't been in a battle of wits ,because if you were to be given twice the wit you possess now ,sadly you would still only be a halfwit

I May be getting older ,but I refuse to grow up

I've read this word for word in someones biography. There's probably a few of your cronies on here who actually believe what you say.

Ran a bookies on the Walworth Road?

You HEARD this all from the horses mouth?

What horse was that? Shergar?

Come on then....drop some other names you read in a book.

You're just nasty aren't you?
I happen to know that penfold does earn his crust by running a bookies.

That helps pay for his hobbies and interests where he does some great work in supporting British films

What does he do to support British films? Trade or sell illegal copies of DVDs?

Nasty? So what do you call this?

No, of course he doesn't. And he does run a bookies. Your saying he doesn't won't change that. A lot of people here know what he does do for British films. But I'm not going to tell you because you'd only be nasty about it.

Oh, I see. He's been exposed as a racist and an idiot. So now he claims it was all a deliberate ploy.

It's like when people tell an unfunny joke and then, when nobody laughs, claim they were being ironic.

It's a sure sign of desperation.
I just feel sorry for you, you tragic little man.

What about those waves of invading foreigners that have made ghetto's out of parts of London? They take British jobs, violate the women, are disrespectful to British sporting teams and slag off the beer and then have the cheek to return home with the benefits?

The Aussie backpacker has a lot to answer for.

But we like to think they learn something by the experience.
Even if it's only how to appreciate proper beer. Beer that doesn't have to be served so cold that it freezes tour taste buds or you'll notice that it doesn't have any flavour
