(I tell you the tale of ) Allan Adale Alan A 'Dale was the subject of a comic song performed on Dudley Moore and Peter Cook 's show, Not Only But Also in 1965. The lyrics consisted of little more than a repetition of his name. Along with Cook and Moore, the performers were Joe Melia, Bill Wallis and John Wells.
"By the time their 0-3 loss at Crystal Palace on 28 December 2021 had ended, Norwich City supporters had seen their team play five games in December, losing five, conceding 14 goals, and scoring none. So they decided to pretend they had scored a goal, which the Palace supporters could at least appreciate."

Even men with steel hearts ... love to see a dog on the pitch! - Half Man Half Biscuit (from Some Call It Godcore, 1995)
Hey Louis…
Wonderful world, terrible song
Everything’s gone horribly wrong
Cars are too fast, ‘cos the drivers are slow
Joy-ride boy died and I think to myself
From Magdalene to Sellafield
There’s scant regard for how we feel
Sheep are green, dead roses too
I know it sounds bleak but hey, don’t despair
Cos even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
It generates a warmth around the ground that augurs well for mankind
And that’s what life’s about
The raft of dreams we sailed in the bay
Has foundered on the reefs of today
Ill wind blows through my cape of no hope
Dock Road can-lad on the end of a rope
Yet by the stream in summer time
The charming lark, the country chime
Smite this faithless pantomime
Welcome to the daylight at the back of my mind
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
It generates a warmth around the ground that augurs well for mankind
And that’s what life’s about
Trouble is these days you never see a dog on the pitch

"The group was founded in 1977 at St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Comprehensive by Paul McLaughlin, David Maguire, Greg Maguire, and Tom Robinson, whose ages at the time ranged from 12 to 15.[1] While their instruments were basic - including a cardboard drum kit - they were able to quickly produce a demo tape which they sent to a local indie label Fast Product, who also produced the Human League. Inspired by The Slits and Mekons, the Prats debuted with three tracks on the Fast EP Earcom 1.[1][2]
In 1979, the band recorded a session for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show.[3] Peel also offered his fee from a DJing appearance in Edinburgh to finance a single release by the band.[1] A series of singles then followed, including "General Davis" and "Die Todten Reyten Schnell," which was released on a German indie label.
A number of line-up changes saw Elspeth McLeod joining to provide additional guitar (including on the single "General Davis") and Jeff Maguire taking over bass duties from Tom Robinson.
In 1980, the EP "The 1990s Pop" was released on Rough Trade Music. This record contained four tracks: "Disco Pope", "Nothing", "TV Set", and "Noboty Noticed". "Disco Pope" received significant airplay under John Peel and was re-released in 2003 on Rough Trade Shops' compilation CD Post Punk Volume 1. ....."
"The truly stunning, soaring ski-flights of Walter Steiner, a man who earns his living as a carpenter, are beautifully captured using a 16mm camera running at several times its usual speed. Steiner breaks record after record but goes into a difficult internal struggle when one jump goes badly wrong. Kosmiche music legends Popul Vuh draw out and illustrate the beauty and drama."
"All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace is a BBC television documentary series by filmmaker Adam Curtis.[1] In the series, Curtis argues that computers have failed to liberate humanity, and instead have "distorted and simplified our view of the world around us." The title is taken from a 1967 poem of the same name by Richard Brautigan. The first episode was originally broadcast at 9 pm on 23 May 2011

The flag is evil
Welcome: living leg-end
I was walking down the street
I saw a poster at the top
I was only on one leg
The streets were fucked
And the poster at the top of street said:
"Do you work hard?"
I was only on one leg
The road hadn't been fixed
I had to be in for half six
I was only on one leg
My blue eyelids were not (?)
There was a curfew at half nine
For my kids
There was a poster at the top of the street
Encapsulated in plastic
It had a blind man
So I said: "Blind man, have mercy on me."
I said: "Blind man, have mercy on me."
The flat is evil and full of cavalry and Calvary
And calvary and cavalry
"Do you work hard?"
It said, "I am from Hebden Bridge
Somebody said to me: I can't understand a word you said."
Said: " 99% of non smokers die"
"Do you work hard?"
"Do you work hard?"
I was walking down the street
And saw a picture of a blind man
The flat is evil
Of core? cavalry and calvary
Of core(?)
Blind man, have mercy on me
Said, blind man, have mercy on me
??
I am a ?
My blues eye get...ID/I get
My curfew was due half eight
Now its half past six
