I must admit I only mentioned Gene for 'Olympian'!

I liked 'Coming Up', but the ship had sailed by the time it came out.

And yet…Definitely Maybe still mostly holds up for me. I also think In It For The Money is a fantastic album - I think Supergrass may be the band that have lasted the best from the Britpop era.

Blimey, Kula Shaker. 'Grateful When You're Dead' is playing in my head at the moment. Last song to come on before I got home, and the only KS song I still have!
As far as obscure Britpop goes, give me some Longpigs. Or Geneva. Or Gene. Or…

Hey CineCraft. I'm sorry you feel this way, and I know it isn't fun to want so much to share yourself with someone and yet to feel it's not going to happen. I did feel that way for a long time, but I can tell you that sometimes it does work out. I got a bit better at just being around people as myself (well, with a…

"Ich bin ein Cruiseliner"

Upvoted just to annoy.

Automatic For The People was my gateway album and I love it to this day. I'll rarely admit any criticism of it but I did find Everybody Hurts a little trite in my snottier days. Oddly though I find it more moving now. Who knows?

I had to look that up I'm afraid. Don't understand your banter, old chap!

I'm not against a pun thread purr se, but I'd be feline more than an ounce of shame if I took part.

Roll Over Bakeoven?

With the cunning use of flags.

A 'z' for an 's'? My, what a colourful dialect!

Apologising. For pretty much anything.

When I first drank it helped me be more sociable. Later on I drank because that's what everyone (friends & colleagues) did. And it was a lot of fun.
Later still I drank because that was what I did. And even later still I was depressed, stressed and anxious and drinking wasn't an option any more but the only way I could…

It's tough getting your self esteem back when you've been really down. From my experience it's taking little steps, targeting little wins at first that helps to get you moving. It doesn't have to be much but a few such things have a cumulative effect - you feel like you're doing something, anything to break the cycle.…

Yes, this, at least twice. Partridge really gets on my tits, but then I don't like what I think of as comedy of embarrassment - I didn't like Gordon Brittas or David Brent as characters either…
What am I worse than then?

I find coming here a great way of escaping from the grind of my days - and I find I learn a lot too.
