Yeah, a lot of my Island CDs display that discolouration. What I wasn’t

Listening to Mark Maron’s WTF podcast, heard him interview “guitar wizard” Blake Mills. Blake played a song live in the garage, one from his album Heigh Ho. On the strength of what I heard I’m very tempted to buy […]

The dining hall of my son’s Primary School, and the kid’s aren’t getting a day off. They’re taking packed lunches which they will presumably consume in their classrooms. Boo!

RT’s half Scottish and Linda is the real thing( I think), so I claim ’em both for the home team!

I suspect Lando refers to The “robotised” manuals like Toyota’s MMT. They are truly dreadful. Not at all like VAG’s DSG or Ford/Volvo’s Powershift trannies.

Ha had to go. Nobody can reasonably expect to continue in their position after physically assaulting a colleague. The upshot for the Beeb is that Top Gear is effectively dead. I hope they can see that attempting […]

Missing Emma Peel? Check out her daughter Rachel Stirling on “Detectorists”. Equally lovely don’t you think?

Hah, not sure about “Two Way Stretch” being “important” but it’s one of my all-time favourites. As for it influencing “Porridge”, well there’s no maybe about it. There’s a line of dialogue lifted intact. You know, […]
