Exactly, it is time for the anti-Battenbergers to go and never darken TWTD's (marzipan) door again.
I'm not anti-battenberg, I just wouldn't want one on my dining table. Don't accuse me of batternbergism as some of my favourite cakes are next to the Batternberg on the supermarket shelves.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?
This one here Hambo. Shove him in the pit with Keno and Factors.
You of all people know how Phil & Gav do things. First, it's the naughty step - a familar place for yourself. Then its No supper, the pit and lastly removal of all privileges.

Happy to help.
Hmm, a rather formulaic approach, young man. Such a noble confection requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative approach. Consider the marzipan as a simile for Morrissey, the startling exterior (or frontman) grabbing the attention with an initial mild shock. The the jam is like Johnny Marr, holding the whole thing together. And the sponge is like the other two (or were there three? was there a horn section? timbales?), a necessary offset for the richness of marzipan and jam - or Morrissey and Marr.

Keep this up and you'll go in under Keno. Imagine that.
I would put them in the same category as Westlife an boyzone etc. It's just horrible cheesy radio friendly pop music. I would like to add the Smith's, lighting seeds an Luther feckin vandross into the same category
Been waiting to see if Glassers weighs in on this but, anyway, harsh on Luther Vandross. Not my usual musical taste but his voice firmed up Bowie's enough for the 'Young Americans' album to sound genuinely soulful. I think it was his album 'Any Love' that was left lying around at work back in the day, and after I had got through a few of the rock albums I picked it up and got drawn in. Great voice, decent writer and good interpreter of other people's songs too.

I'm sure Luther is a lovely man but unfortunately his music reminds me of awful 80,s teenage disco's and even more awful mid-late 80,s nightclubs

Ah look there nothing wrong with is voice. He's just a bit bland and unfortunately reminds me of Y jumpers and everything else bad about the 80,s. I know yer a fan of Marvin, I don't feel any of Luther's work comes even slightly close to say inner city blues etc
A man who has written for and performed with Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick, Niles Rodgers and Diana Ross can hardly be described as "plastic soul".
