I love this so much. I watch this when I'm feeling fed up as it always makes me laugh.

First time I'd seen it, Nix. It cracked me up too. I love understated and dry humour.

He so gets it!

"It’s a family thing. My dad supported them (QPR) & so did my brother. It taught me that there’s more to life than winning, anyway."

Never knowingly right.

That clip is so funny! Somehow in 9 seconds it perfectly captures the difference between the US and UK, love it!

I've been listening to Disintegration a lot recently. Great album.

“I better not say too much!” the one-time Loftus Road regular laughs. “To be completely honest, I loathe Premiership football and haven’t bothered tracking QPR since they were promoted to it. When I was young, I used to go alternate weeks to QPR and Brighton & Hove Albion who I’ve now gone back to supporting until Rangers drop out of the top flight.

“During the dark days when QPR looked like they were going under, there was drunken talk of us sponsoring them but it didn’t go any further than the pub. I hate Formula 1 with a passion — it’s the most ludicrous, corporate-minded event ever invented and I refuse to go to Loftus Road while there are F1 people sat in the boardroom. Football’s changed so much that the sport I loved as a kid doesn’t exist anymore at that level. I’d rather watch a Sunday parks game.”

Well, it was yesterday. It was always easy for me to remember April 21 was my grandmother's birthday because she shared it with Robert!

Disintegration is the best album ever, as that little boy from South Park once remarked.

Disintegration is in my Top 3.
Probably an age thing, but it's a staggeringly beautiful piece of art.

What are the other 2 for you?

I’d have Loveless by MBV a clear-cut #2 and the Beatles’ Revolver at #3

Great choices.

Abbey Road, Sophtware Slump, Van Occupanther and Astral Weeks fighting it out for with Disintegration, depending on my mood.

Do I have to call it, Lars?

As someone who has about 27 “top 10” movies, it would seem wrong of me to force you to choose.

while I have no opinion whatsoever on The Cure, that is a magnificently irate post!
Keep it up, XTC.
Actually, XTC the band I would kind of rank with the Cure.................

Oh you’ve done it now.....

Personally, I love The Cure.
However, Disintigration apart (and possibly Kiss Me x3), I see them as an outstanding singles band. (akin to Madness in a weird way).
Ask any average Joe with any interest in music since the 70’s and they’d probably be surprised just how many songs of theirs they know..... HB RS.

Agree with that. 'Disintegration' is the only album I listen to of theirs.
