I don’t think he’s on the ropes either. The news cycle in this current age rolls on so quickly this will be forgotten in a month. And if not, overlooked/downplayed at the next election. Though I agree wit […]

One of the funniest things I ever heard was a mate’s five a side football team name. Inter Me Nan. (say it out loud)

Correct

‘’Ere’s no more songs for ya!’ Aww. I’m fond of Coverdale. He made the two best Purple albums ever, ‘Burn’ and ‘Stormbringer’. And ‘Fool For Your Loving’ which is a cracker, and one of the first ‘difficult’ […]

‘Everyone Stares’ by Stewart Copeland. The Police drummer’s assemblage of his own Super8 footage of the PoliceMania years. It’s excellent. They look exhausted all the time. Similarly the BBC Arena documen […]

The Rush documentary is well worth a watch. Neil Peart was a very shy man, it seems. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson adored and protected him. What great friends they were. And yes, the final scenes at the […]

Stottie Cakes. Bloody lovely large flat bread rolls, sliced in half horizontally, filled with anything tasty (but traditionally ham and pease pudding) and necked in short order. ‘Stott’ being a Geordie dia […]

The bass and drums kicking in on either ‘Caroline’ or ‘Down Down”

‘You know I’m born to lose And gamblings for fools But that’s the way I like it baby, I don’t want to live forever And don’t forget the joker!’

She was in ‘Hobson’s Choice’ as one of Charles Laughton’s younger daughters alongside Brenda De Banzie. What a film.

No need.

Oh, very good! That’s it from now on. I must tell my daughter this one.

Our version was: Georgie Best – Superstar! Wears frilly knickers and a playtex bra. Also, from a few years ago, Viz Comic Letters Page worked out that you can happily sing ‘ Fuck off you fucking b […]

I watch YouTube clips from MSNBC, Colbert, Seth Meyer, Jimmy Kimmel, Really American and a few more regularly. Have done for years. Their shock and outrage has been constant for the past decade. Yet he rolls on […]
