The offer and acceptance of these ‘gifts’ by the Labour leadership is of course questionable. I am inclined to think it was viewed by them as of little more than presentational value, however stupid their dec […]

Are Pink Anderson and Floyd Council likely to benefit from this arrangement?

Absolutes agree. Wonderful stuff. Ghost Ship – there nothing in it!

What, no John Martyn? There is now.

Sorry to hear of your loss el Hombre. Mine, just Solid Air (and maybe one of my own instrumentals, being a cheap bastard – nae royalties to pay!).

Tigger, you are right, Radio 4 is superb. You are also getting old – gracefully, I’m sure. I am now old too. I have just become a grandfather. I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.

I just chanced upon the thread headline and given the current troubled state of the world assumed WW3 was underway.

I really think you may be overplaying this?

I really like it. I’ve never been a great fan of the Fabs simply because they were so ubiquitous and I didn’t really get into pop/rock until the early ‘70’s. But I do of course have favourites of theirs and app […]
