"Sleak (aka Snuff Rock)", inspired by the then recent film, "Snuff", and the concept of snuff movies, but carrying the idea to a band who killed themselves for entertainment, was their musical play presented at London's Royal Court Theatre and Round House and was famous for the role of the comic disc jockey played by Les Prior. They reached the UK Singles Chart with the accompanying EP, "Snuff Rock", released on Stiff Records, poked fun at the punk rock phenomenon, targeting the Sex Pistols ("Gobbing On Life"), The Damned ("Kill") and The Clash ("Snuffin' Like That") as well as myriad reggae bands in "Snuffin' In A Babylon". Tony Bowers and Bob Harding left the band in July 29, 1978, they were replaced by John Scott (vocals, bass, guitar, saxophone, keyboards) (ex John Cooper Clarke and Jilted John) and Ged Green (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards) in August 24, 1978. They reached the UK Singles Chart with the Status Quo spoof, "Heads Down No Nonsense Mindless Boogie" in 1978. Les Prior died in January 1980 from leukaemia, which left a large gap in the group. Ged Green left the band in March 27, 1980, he was replaced by Ian Morris ("Mog") (vocals, bass) (ex The Smirks) in March 28, 1980.
After their nationally networked TV show "Teach Yourself Gibberish" and a crack at America with "Sleak", the Albertos disbanded in 1982.
The band's brand of spoof rock has been said to be in the same English tradition as that of the Barron Knights and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, but a better comparison might be the American parody singer Weird Al Yankovic.

Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee (or Greek cofee) is probably the original way of making coffee. It is a way of making coffee using ground coffee beans without filtering it. The way to make Turkish coffee is by pouring hot water into a pot containing ground coffee beans or coffee powder. Turkish coffee was popularized during the Ottoman Empire. Mocha, Yemen is a city that was used to ship most of the coffee beans, which originally came from Ethiopia. For this reason, Turkish coffee is sometimes called Mocca.
Turkish coffee first appeared in the Ottoman Empire. The coffee was considered a drug and it was forbidden to drink it. But, because it was very popular the sultan eventually lifted this prohibition.
Turkish coffee had reached Britain and France by the 17th century. The first coffee house in Britain was opened by an Ottoman Jew in the mid 17th century.
To make Turkish coffee, ground coffee beans are used. The ground coffee beans is mixed with water and boiled. It is boiled in a special pot called "cezve" in Turkey. After it boils it is taken off the heat and served. The coffee is traditionally served in a small porcelain cup called a "kahve fincanı" 'coffee cup'. Sometimes sugar is added to the coffee to make it taste sweet.
Russian Spaniel
The Russian Spaniel is a medium sized gundog of the spaniel type which was developed in the Soviet Union after World War II.
There were some English Springer Spaniels and English Cocker Spaniels imported into Russia in the early 20th century, these were cross bred with other Russian hunting dogs and this breed was made official there in 1951.
Any lot of mixes of colours is allowed in this breed, but they are mostly brown and white, black and white, red and white or tri-coloured. They look a lot like their English Springer Spaniel cousins.
Russian Spaniels are usually very gentle with people and other dogs. Like all spaniels they need a lot of exercise. As they are bred to be hunting dogs, care should be taken when they are around other small animals like rabbits and birds.
