Amongst other things:

A “German Short-haired Pointer Rescue” 2019 Calendar with a month sponsored by me -including an inset photo of the two dogs we had at the beginning of this year year (one now […]

“Bud” in Hull? I’m struggling. A reminder that I’ve been gone a very long time.

Older readers may remember that for a while a notorious record company owner turned airline magnate had a side line in prophylactics. For some reason his usual branding was not chosen for the actual […]

Correction – it was Gideon Coe’s show .

I can’t think of one where harmonica issues put me off but I’m pretty sure that it could happen.

PS By way of explanation of my avoidance, sometimes his Bobness’s voice gets between his material and me. But not this time.

Without meaning to, I’ve largely swerved his Bobness. (I probably ought to be demobbed from AW.)

But last night I was keeping the cat company as all hell broke loose in Little Islington On The Downs. We’d put […]

I thought my standing gig days were over (except when standing is the only option) until this week.

On Tuesday I went to see David Byrne at “The Brigton Centre”. By the time I decided I wanted to go there were […]

Ouch!

Did you make it in the end?

But everybody knows what it really means.

I was wrong:

Half Man Half Biscuit – “No-One Cares About Your Creative Hub So …” also purchased this year (obvs). On balance I think that I’ll stick with my original 2018 recommendation.

First bought: Don McLean – “American Pie” (Alternatively, one of those 70’s “Top Of The Pops” cover compilation albums with “American Pie” on it – the principle’s the same.)
Last bought: David Byrne – “American […]

Or is it that the issues season is in full swing?

The one I can remember I actually did say.

Late one cold winter’s evening, before our house was as well insulated as it is now, I had to nip out of bed to turn a light off or something.

On getting back into […]

I should have been more careful with my words – what I meant is that there will be no more words from Kenneth Roy and that I’ve missed the boat on previous pieces.

At that point it appeared to me that older stuff […]

Thanks for posting.

It encouraged me to explore further and I found all three pieces (currently) available well worth reading. I was left with the feeling that I’d missed something worthwhile.
