...one of their best footy references ever...
"Oh let me gaze upon your curves
Instead of Ipswich Town reserves
Swerving the Checkatrade with you"
...and another glorious takedown...
"He got a Boardman bike on the Cycle to Work scheme. Discovered he really enjoyed it. Started watching the Tour de France highlights on ITV4. Worshipped at the altar of Wiggo and Froome-dog. Goes out every Sunday in full Sky replica kit.
Get your hedge cut
Get your fuckin’ hedge cut
Stop analysing Strava
And cut your hedge"
Get this album and ensure the band carry on making music into their old age.

American Assassin Redux
I made this!
A few weeks ago, I got involved with The Redux Project. It's the vision of one guy, Richard DeDomenici, with the goal of visiting various publicly accessible film sites, and recreating scenes shot-for-shot on a shoestring budget.
My marmite hometown of Croydon has been the setting for various Hollywood blockbusters, including The Dark Knight Rises, Criminal, 28 Days Later (not much dressing required), and American Assassin. It was the latter that was chosen to be the focus for this redux.
Standing around St George's Walk for five hours might not seem like anyone's idea of fun, but it was actually a great experience, and the result is fantastic. I'd recommend everyone to keep an eye on the project and get involved if one crops up near you.
Top frame is the actual scene, bottom is our recreation.
More info at thereduxproject.tumblr.com/
Fun fact: An episode of Black Mirror was scheduled to be filmed in the exact same place a few days later, and some of the set had already been constructed, hence the 80s style WH Smiths shopfront.

Just to clarify...
I was merely a tool in this utterly pointless, yet amazing exercise. Richard is the visionary, I suggest you follow him on Twitter, @dedomenici.
Also, check out some of his others, I can recommend The Matrix, shot in Sydney, and Superman IV The Quest for Peace, shot in Milton Keynes.
His next big one is ambitious, recreating Atonement on Redcar Beach!
