I wonder how many Boro players have had to be called back from holidays abroad? It’s not ideal at this level. While Southampton have rightly been punished, it seems to me that the individuals responsible for […]

I wonder how many times a fraudster can get away with this? Presumably it’s only worth doing on expensive items.

No, on ebay. They’re not subject to the same scrutiny.

I successfully sold about 150 records on ebay recently. I was slightly surprised to realise that I had no emotional attachment to them and enjoyed getting rid of them. They averaged a bit over a tenner each. I […]

It will be on Amazon Prime to buy/rent from Monday.

I’ve worked it out. Reminds me of Neil Warnock’s ‘Colin’ nickname.

It was actually posts about his behaviour on the old Word site which led me to the Forum. I used to look at Charlie Gillett’s website. He posted that he wished that his blog page as lively as The Word’s. I think […]

Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole, not in New York.

Planet Rock was incredible. I remember hearing it for the first time and being absolutely blown away. His DJ set at Camden Palace a couple of years later was the best DJ set I ever witnessed. Every record was […]

It’s theirs to lose.

I’m too old for that reference, I had to get a younger person to explain it to me.

I knew Melvin quite well about 40 years ago. I had no idea he was interested in music. He was an electrician then.

In my early days of reading the music papers, I remember the NME letters pages being full of complaints about the slating the latest Yes/ELP/Genesis album had received.

I look at reviews with a view to buying albums. Less than 4 stars and I’m not interested. 4 or 5 stars and I will read the reviews and decide. Who wrote it is a factor too. There are reviewers that I mostly don’t […]

I’m sure most of us know people who have taken drugs and don’t view any of them as a criminal. I certainly wouldn’t recommend anyone to take drugs, but I really don’t get why people who take even heroin or […]

Great story!

SAHB Live is a great album, their best. They are a band I really regret never seeing live (not that I ever got the opportunity).

The turnout in 2024 may have been the lowest ever in terms of percentage of the electorate. I would have suggested the Lib Dems were a possible vote for the disillusioned Tory voters, but I see that their vote […]

The Tory vote in 2024 collapsed to 6.8M from 13.9M in 2019. It was the lack of tactical voting by right wing voters that won Labour the election. Huge numbers wouldn’t vote Tory and switched to Reform. An ideal […]
