Cliff Richard's late 70s/early 80s songs are quite good

I think you need to start ripping them to shredsI was trying to manage the young lads today. The bit that irked me was just that we had to disassemble a rack of shelves, carry it all upstairs, reassemble it. And do it without looking like idiots.
One of them was ok, one was clueless but tried to show an interest, as that was the path of least resistance with me. The other one was......'sake, someone who should know better but didn't want to.
It was flatpack furniture like, so I had to ask "what do they actually teach you in school in this country?".
He showed an instant of self analysis, and then with defensive bravado he says "I learned how to chase girls bruv!!"...queue much high-fives and banter. I'm left standing there thinking "if you had any idea how stupid you're making us all look". I'm trying to make these guys look less stupid, and they know it, but they've wrapped themselves up in this odd muscular non-directional bravado, and since I'm the "bossman", they don't like me telling them what to do. They are neither stupid nor kids, I just really don't understand what they're thinking. I'm trying to teach them stuff, any of my old bosses would've just ripped them all to shreds.

I think you should roar this at them. "I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU LOOK LESS STUPID, FOR YOU OWN FUCKING SAKE DO WHAT I ASK"I'm trying to make these guys look less stupid
Sighpretty much

My youth club leader (yes, it was a long time ago) made me a tape of Tom Petty's debut album after overhearing some of us talking. For some reason, he thought it was a good idea to put Huey Lewis' "Sports" on the other side..thus revealing himself to be deeply uncool and ruining the whole thing.Sigh
I'm listening to... and enjoying.... Fore! by Huey Lewis & the news today. I bought this album about 15-20 years ago and gave it to a charity shop for being too fucking morto of a listen.
Great album, great band. Might be somewhat 'of their time', but I still give them a spin now and againMy youth club leader (yes, it was a long time ago) made me a tape of Tom Petty's debut album after overhearing some of us talking.

It took me listening to the debut HeartBreakers album start to finish for me to get it. For years I was just hearing Free Fallin' and other middle of the road anthems and rolling my eyes at how dull it all was.What's up with everyone liking Tom Petty?
I'm not saying I spend a lot of time looking at Thom in this video but you gotta love his rockstar yearswould you just look at thom yorke's hair there... wow!
But how can you not like this?What's up with everyone liking Tom Petty?
