Absolutely unique player. Totally irreplaceable. Drawn towards The Hum indeed. https://youtu.be/bbkzX5e6hHs?si=zKnQIp8OqNd4fwNn https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/nov/27/kevin-geordie-walker-influential-guitarist-with-killing-joke-dies-aged-64 "With a beautifully multi-layered guitar sound that pointed the way to the shoegaze scene, and which also took in the spiky urgency of punk, the acute melody of pop and the crushing weight of heavy metal, Walker was – alongside frontman Jaz Coleman – the only consistent member of Killing Joke since the band’s formation in 1978. Born in County Durham in 1958 and schooled in Buckinghamshire, where he acquired his “Geordie” nickname, Walker initially responded to an ad Coleman had placed in the music press. “This guy kept calling saying ‘Hi, I’ve never been in a band before, I’ve only ever played in my mum’s bedroom, but I’m the best guitarist ever’,” Coleman later said. “I couldn’t get rid of him … He comes in for a cuppa and spots my fishing rods, so we have a conversation about fishing for six hours. After which he announced that he had nowhere to live so I said he could stay with me. Geordie moved in three weeks before I actually heard him play. When he did it was like a fire from heaven.” Edited November 27, 2023 by Florentine_Pogen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend banged on about it for years and i always thought he was talking shite but he still had the vhs of the final which he dug out and showed me the footage probably about 2003 time. Venables was talking about the time Bayern hit the post and Schmeical had given up on it whilst the ball looped over him then it fortunately bounced into his arms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound a bit like c**t (although the Chris guy reckons it sounded like coat!). It's in the context of the Bayern manager Hitzfeld being a lucky {something] and the latest comments by folk on their instagram post reckon it's "coach", as the sentence is "you told me Hitzfeld was a lucky c**t/coat/coach", the latter obviously makes the most sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An autopsy could be interesting. No saying what they might find in there. We went to Benidorm for a mates 21st back in the late 80s. Must have seen her about 3 times in different clubs and bars over the 10 days. My over riding memory was she was ancient then so I'm a tad surprised she was only 80. Never could watch table tennis after those nights ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Jim was one of those old fashioned posh landed Tories (unlike the spivs they have in charge now). I met him briefly when I worked in the Scottish Parliament (sealing brown envelopes full of backhanders) and he was a polite chap. Apparently he used to hold the car door open for his chaffeaur. Also a Boxing Blue when at Oxford so you wouldn't have spilled his pint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
