Great win for Macclesfield FC
Who would choose football management as a career?
Man Utd, Chelsea and Celtic all gone in a few days.
33 days for the Celtic chap…must be a record.
Nice pay-off I am sure.
Is football management the most mad profession in terms longevity?
Air Guitar playing – when should you stop?
Just played the greatest heavy metal song ever Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden and had to air guitar.
Can’t stop
I am 60.
How did the Budget affect you?
I have an EV so I will consider it in 2028.
I have one buy to let property as a pension investment so via lose there.
Overall I am not really bothered.

Looking forward to this.
At what point do you have to upgrade your tech?
I am tempted by the new iPhone Air as my iPhone11 is on its last legs and needs replacing plus the Apple support will probably turned off for this model in 2026.

Nerina Pallot – First The Palladium- Now the Royal Albert Hall
She will be playing there on Sunday 31st May 2026.
My tickets are booked.
Cats or Dogs?
I have shared my living space with 8 cats. over the last 20 years. 3 still with me now.
I find them to be great, loving and low maintenance pets. I have never had a dog…am I missing something?
Dogs seem like hard work and picking up poo in public is not something I feel the need to do.
I am now aged 60
I know I can get free prescriptions and eye tests on the NHS.
Please share the other benefits of being 60, yet feeling 40, I can access.
The £50 guy. Had disposable income and spent it in record stores pre-streaming on a Saturdat afternoon. on stuff he wanted and the odd new stuff recommened in a written rock magazine!
That was me before kids came along in 2009.
Jeff Lynne at Hyde Park is cancelled. What is the gig you hoped for that got cancelled?

First time I would have Steve Windwood as well.

Two fantastic matches that go into the afternoon of the fifth day.

Proper Test Match cricket at its best.
Def. Leppard – time for an appraisal
A great band that has defined a part of rock music.
Hysteria redefined hard rock in the 1980s

The Waterboys ‘A Pagan Place’ for me
Domestic chores…what do you do?
Today I have bought and cooked Sunday lunch and dinner, replaced a toilet seat with much effing and jeffing.
All done to the soundtrack of a second ODI victory for England vs WI and a couple of glasses of wine.
The Waterboys, Oxford New Theatre 23/05/25
It has been a few years since I have seen the Waterboys live but they have always put on a good show and tonight was no different. Mike’s voice is stilling great nick and they covered the best known songs from their back catalogue as well as a large chunk of the new album.
The new stuff sounded better than it does on the album thanks to Mike’s storytelling which gives some context to otherwise basic songs.
I have seen them over 15 times and this would be in my top 5 of those performances, well worth a ticket if you get the chance.
Setlist:
A Pagan Place Glastonbury Song How Long Will I Love You? Medicine Bow When Ye Go Away This Is the Sea Kansas (Steve Earle video) Live in the Moment, Baby The Tourist Andy (A Guy Like You) Blues for Terry Southern Hopper’s On Top (Genius) Transcendental Peruvian Blues Michelle (Always Stay) Letter From An Unknown Girlfriend Ten Years Gone I Don’t Know How I Made It Golf, They Say The Passing Of Hopper Don’t Bang the Drum A Girl Called Johnny Spirit The Pan Within

An Easter Quiz. Billy Joel as an opening act.
I have spent the last few days clearing out my loft and de-cluttering.
As I went through my CDs and DVDs I came across the 30th Anniversary CD/DVD set of The Stranger by Billy Joel.
Included is a facsimile book of his lyric writing for the album the first page lists the 39 artists he acted as a support act before he headlined on his own.
Can you name them without cheating?
