The Style Council
a curate's egg
Edit: I mean this in the modern, not original sense:
The original sense of the expression referred to an objective understanding of the depicted scenario: since an egg that is even partly "bad" is effectively inedible, the supposedly "excellent" parts do not redeem it. The more modern sense of the expression reflects the point of view the curate is trying to argue: that the "excellent" parts compensate enough for the "bad" parts to render complaints – or at least declaring something a total loss – inappropriate.

Worst in the country. Before Phoenix Nights Peter Kay did some early TV sketches based around these facilities...and now he can see the place from his kitchen window.
I see David Hepworth as Harry Ramsden's. The original in Guiseley of course. Mark Ellen as sushi.
Paul Weller
Jam Buttie !
Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler...
Bitter almonds
You sure?
Personally I've always thought Weller was the obnoxious one regarding his former bandmates.
In fact, the word bitter has cropped up more than once in his songs over the years - The Bitterest Pill, Bitterness Rising - as has its close relation 'sour'. In fact, the man himself answered the question of his food equivalent in Peacock Suit:
"I've got a grapefruit manner, it's as sour as shit..."
I think
That PW & Bruce Foxton are now reconcilled & Bruce even plays on a couple of tracks on the next LP.
Whether this was a reason behind the break up of "From the Jam" I'm not sure.
As I understand it, there is still no love lost between PW & Buckler
Interesting
This gives more background:
http://paulwellernews.blogspot.com/2009/08/paul-weller-bruce-foxton-frie...
I'm surprised, to be honest. Especially Foxton's comment that 'Weller had been kind to him over the last few years'. I was under the impression it was still nuclear winter time.
I know the received wisdom is that all bands eventually reform. I always viewed The Jam as being the exception to that rule, but this news is a chink of light. After all, if The Police could do it...
Looking at their Myspace page
and other websites, I don't think FTJ have split.
Well It depends ...
...on what you call split.
Ok - Rick Buckler has left "From the Jam" - leaving the only original member of "The Jam" in "From the Jam" as Bruce Foxton.
Weller & Foxton were actually reunited in the loosest possible terms at a The Who gig a number of years ago. Bruce's then band The Casbah Club were on as a support act to The Who and Weller was backstage.
Apparently the initial contact was carried out in the mens toilets....
It doesn't mention
Rick's departure on the aforementioned websites...but I've delved deeper and sit corrected :-)
