They're playing Help the Aged in my local! Very quietly but my keen ears picked it out! Um... that is all...

I have found "This is Hardcore" (the album) on several jukeboxes...

Sweet! I found a jukebox in New York years ago that was hooked up to the Internet. You could put just about any song you could think of on. I was tempted to put two hours of Pulp on but had a plane to catch and no spare change.

The pub I regularly in Wales go to has the whole of Different Class, This Is Hardcore and We Love Life on the jukebox.

I'm not Fred! It's a pub in Trefforest called The Rickards Arms!

I was panicking there. I was about to start guessing random pub names that sound a bit welsh. I didn't get any further than The Leek and The St David. Both wrong as it happens.

The Manic Street Preacher's Arms (as in: I found my husband in...)

A pub near me had "My Legendary Girlfriend" on their jukebox a few years back...and maybe even still does? Haven't been there in a long time. When I did used to go I would always put money in and play it...just for the sake of it!

I work in a restaurant kitchen and Common People came on the radio. I had a little bop to that. Dunno if that counts.

Here in Australia, I once went to a restaurant which played Common People over the sound system, and they showed the music video on the TV along with it. It was the last thing I expected!

CP and D2K still get moderate airplay these days. Outside of an indie disco or alternative radio setting, any other Pulp song is a bit of a novelty.

If other songs are novelty in the UK, you can imagine how rare it is to here PULP in North America. Heard 'Silvia' playing in The Gap bout 2 years ago.

Fred, there are quite a few of those jukeboxes in the UK these days, too. I once cleared a pub in Wigan with 'Sister Ray'.

I rarely pay much attention to jukeboxes. I'm going to check every pub I go in now.

I prefer pubs without jukeboxes and definitely without TV's.

I'm with you on TVs... Although I do like to waste a bit of money on quiz machines .:.:.

If you can cope with the smell in Rafferty's in Newcastle it has more or less all the singles since My Legenday Girlfriend. The Percy Arms also has a great jukebox. The Telegraph is ok too. Tut & Shive in Doncaster used to be my personal favourite but I think it's changed now. I used to be an expert on this subject, not so much these days.

Speaking of bad smells, has anyone else noticed the uncreasing amount of pubs with stinking toilets? Is that really the best way to save money?

I think we just notice them more since the smoking ban

No it's been in the last couple of years. I'm a quiz machine junky, and they're almost always placed near the toilets - so I notice such things. I'll take stagnant piss over fag smoke any day though!

Now you mention it, I remember that being on a compilation on the jukebox in the bar at uni. It came on one afternoon at random and I couldn't believe my ears. I had totally forgot about that.

And from a licensee - the smoking ban is the worst thing that has ever hit the pub trade in my lifetime!

Which will now be considerably longer through the lack of passive smoking!

I dont smoke but I agree that the ban is the worst thing to happen to pubs, its anti-social and divisive.

If I saw the whole of This Is Hardcore on a jukebox, the temptation to put on all 15 minutes of 'The Day After The Revolution' would be irresistible.
