God, I log in for the first time in years and the first thing I see brings a lump in my throat, joy to my heart, and something else in my trousers. I love the sound of the Mellotron. I’ve got a plug-in and sound […]

I remember the simulcast between Capital Radio and Tommy Vance, and ITV for TOTtAR: some silly drama thing with commentary by Tommy Vamce. Somewhat spoiled by Vamce shouting ‘it worked! It worked!’ Before the […]

My two boys (8 and 5) have to be crowbarred away from Stampy Longnose and iBallisticSquid. Who they? Youtubers with over a hundred million hits between them, playing Minecraft.
Stampy is the most viewed of the […]

An excellent final day’s play. Hats off to MJ for an inspired display of mental batsmanship that led to a rather flattering innings total for our chain-bound chums.
I too expect a rather tight series and […]

I Saw AC/DC on their first major UK tour in 1976, during the long hot summer. I caught the first night of their Monday night residency at the old Marquee in Wardour Street (they alternated the slot with Eddie & […]

The BBC inquiry found that the assault lasted 30 seconds. I would ask you to count off 30 seconds on your timepieces and imagine being assaulted by someone considerably larger than you for that period of time. It […]

I’d recommend ‘Churchill’, by Roy Jenkins. It’s magnificent.

I’m looking forward to it. From the look of the teasers it looks like they’re trying to keep the vibe of the supermarionation. It doesn’t look hyper-glossy. Nice to hear the original Jeff Tracey voice as well. […]

AAMOF, I remembered that final episode with the divine Mrs Peel. As a little boy I was mightily peeved that she had gone and for me, Tara King was not fit to fasten her bra straps. I could only remember two […]

Hopefully tomorrow we’ll be playing like Black Sabbath on angel dust. At our worst in the past we’ve played like Deacon Blue – pretensions occasionally to edginess but overall, far too polite – but McCarthy has […]

I so enjoyed the first book that I was inwardly salivating when I got Going Off Alarming for Christmas. In the end, I found it hugely disappointing to the point that I started to think, “That young Baker certainly […]
