awesome, they will bury me a MOD, I still have my Parka somewhere and every The Jam record ever produced the originals not when they were reissued,  including import, export and flexi discs (remember them). Thanks mate that is excellent, you should maybe advertise that a bit more. With my savings I am going to order a new Fred Perry tomorrow 😍

My Original Jam shoes, that probably means you have to pay me to be on TLF.

I am so glad that common sense still seems to exist in the British Judiciary.

This lady has no right to be allowed back and I find her lawyers statement that "not going to stop until she does get justice and until she is safely back home" offensive. This is someone who knowingly travelled, of their own free will, to join a deadly terrorist group. Who, to my knowledge, has little remorse and has not condemned their actions. You cannot undertake and take such life decisions and then expect to be absolved of all responsibility because it didn't work out for you, or, as you expected.

What about the "justice" for the victims of the terrorist organisation? For the people brutally beheaded and killed in cold blood?

If you stupidly join a terrorist group willingly, then your citizenship should be revoked and should not allowed to return to that country.

One judge has said today that if you make a mistake at 15 you should be redeemable. However, for me, this sends out a clear message, otherwise, you just know that in the future the defence lawyers will argue that their client should be "redeemable". I'm sorry, but she went freely, knowingly, and at the time seemed to revel in it. Now let her "revel" somewhere else! And I do hope UK taxpayers money is in no way being spent on that lawyer! Though I am sure it probably is.

I saw “The Jam” at Reading Festival in 1978. Despite being a dyed-in-the-wool rock fan, and hating punk/new wave with a passion, I can honestly say that their headline performance on the Friday night was absolutely electric, and I still remember it.

Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has been formally stripped of her CBE for "bringing the honours system into disrepute", according to the Cabinet Office.

I have 3 Rickenbackers, so I'm automatically a Jam fan.

2 are 12 string models and one Bruce Foxton type bass. Never saw Mr. Weller with a 12 string though.

Lashings of butter.

A slither of Jam.

Dollops of clotted cream.

In that order.

Wife on hand with a defibrillator for when my arteries clog. (or not, if she's found the insurance policies  )

I don't know.  Possibly somewhere that Paul, Bruce and Rick hung out or played.

Weller's RIckenbacker 330 model 6 string - probably late 70s or early 80s model.  I'm unsure of the base color since it was custom painted.  My 330/12 FG from 1968 is pictured below to show the 12-string version of a 330 model. The Edge from U2 has the same model but it's a 1967 with an "R" tailpiece.  I removed the R tailpiece because it's a bitch to string.  The Trapeze tailpiece is far easier and much faster to restring.
