Indeed. Lantern and BWT are considered to be bonus tracks and starting and ending the "main" part of the show with Jem on his own was really nice.

It was a great show and a great audience reaction (if you ignore the shocking lack of respect for Romain's set by the yammering idiots).

Yet another stunningly beautiful track from The Depths Of Winter...the track is called "Migration". Enjoy.

Do you listen while on the escalier?
Ooh, good one, old Mikey!
An elective split, Crikey!

Well, it's up and it's down
It means "stairs", it's a noun

Cassini checked out in style
But didn't go the extra mile

Only if it's something deep related to winter! 

That's a hanging offence in these parts

Well, whether it would or wouldn't, it won't now.
Maybe it could turn into a "w" vs "punctuation marks" face off.

heh

W'heh

It's been a while since we did this...

It's a slippery slope!

I absolutely insist you stop this at once......

It's just so very......

Childish.

OK I'll stop...

soon...

Ish-iguro, Kazuo – now he's an interesting author. Discuss.

Pete - you broke the chain! 

And went 'on topic'!

Oh Pete 

Did anyone consider how this lot might sound through a screen-reader? 

I'm pretty sure it was Nathan's first recording with the band - but I'll have to check on the notes in TPE when I get home.

From Wikipedia so it must be true :-

The Dividing Line[edit]
On 2 February 2010, Jem announced via his blog that he had been invited to participate in the 10th anniversary party of The Dividing Line Broadcast Network, Vancouver, British Columbia's internet-based progressive rock radio station. Godfrey accepted, and, to thank them for their support of Frost*, tasked himself to write and record a new Frost* song, aptly titled, "The Dividing Line," to be completed within the eight weeks then remaining until the party.

Godfrey gathered not only fellow Frost* mates John Mitchell (It Bites), Andy Edwards, Dec Burke and Nathan King, but also enlisted the talents of Tara Busch, Mark "madfiddler" Knight, Lyndon Connah and original Frost* guitarist, John Boyes, for the one-off project. A special Frost* Report, Dividing Line edition, was posted on Godfrey's blog, as well as PlanetFrost*, the band's YouTube channel, providing a video chronicle of the song's status.

Jem announced on 31 March on the Frost* forum that the track was completed and would be included as a bonus track on the 2-disc live album, "The Philadelphia Experiment."

"The Dividing Line" premiered during The Dividing Line's 10th anniversary broadcast on Saturday, 3 April 2010.

In defence of the Bot, Blunders probably didn't give a date when he signed up.

Anyway, yes (belatedly) Happy Birthday Blunders!!

The pressure is often too great
As the barometer said to his mate
I'm letting off steam
While cooking this Bream

That's brilliant.
I always feel a bit left out at auctions, only because I can't splurge money like that.
I also have to wonder if it's the best model to raise money but I guess it depends on the crowd and the item.
For example, would there be more than 70 people willing to buy a £5 raffle ticket for this prize?
Perhaps it doesn't appeal to that many people so the auction model is better.

Either way, best of luck to both the cause and the winner. I look forward to seeing the results! :-)

I guess "missing" just means "unaccounted for".

I suppose one has to also allow for the wankers who have fraudulently claimed to have missing friends/relatives in order to gain attention on social media. I saw one of them on Twitter before it was clear it was untrue and the stream of media people trying to get access for interview was slightly unnerving too. I could imagine the news editors thinking "we don't have enough emotion, find me a sobbing relative immediately".

Watching the rolling news channels trying to pad out their coverage to justify 100% focus was a bad too...plus the scrum that developed when they got wind of the Prime Minister being nearby. I say this with no political colouring, it would apply to the situation whoever was in power.

Maybe it's cynical of me to see such things negatively, but a visit by the PM on top of everything else doesn't seem to be best way of serving the victims and the people trying to help hands-on. To me, it is just the PM being seen to be doing what they think (or have been told) they ought to be doing and not actually *helping*. "Hey, PM, grab a mop if you really want to help". If the PM didn't go, there are those who would point at it as being wrong, so perhaps it is a no-win situation.

One reporter claimed the visit was to show solidarity with the medical personnel...I can think of more worthwhile ways a prime minister could demonstrate solidarity with our NHS but I'm going to stop now because the murky waters of political comment are not where I want to be going.   

Unfortunately I will be in Kent this weekend, which makes being in Maltby a bit difficult. Hope it goes well. 

Someone thought Jem was called Jean 
A woman who's not now a teen
Their proff-redder's a fool

Jem has now seen it (see Twitter), he loves it and it has inspired him to play the whole of FS at the autumn gigs.
Well played!!
