@Kaisfatdad Brilliant, thanks so much! I would like to think we can get a couple of those in at least…

Hi @Kaisfatdad Sadly only an afternoon in Uppsala. Next Saturday to be precise. Thanks!

Like Jim, I was first into Dio-era Sabbath, but loved Ozzy’s early solo stuff, and “Talk/Speak of the Devil” was my introduction to Ozzy-era Sabbath. I loved that album. I met him at Way Ahead in Nottingham one […]

I’ll have to have a look at this one, loved Trainspotting. Is the dialogue written in phonetic Scottish, like TS?

Powerful stuff, Cat. Working in public transport myself, albeit road not rail, and back office not front, I sometimes get involved in the aftermath of similar incidents. It can be devastating, and astonishing […]

If I hear I’m Alive, by the Hooters, the room gets a bit dusty. Its simple message of being absolutely “in the moment” and being grateful for that, wrapped in a lovely little tune. It’s hugely uplifting and […]

This City is Ours is one of the few series of that type that I watched and just couldn’t finish. I barely cared for any character, let lone 2 or 3. And if the gaffer gets murdered, they’d actually found out who […]

I agree entirely. The age should be going up, not down. I wouldn’t trust my grandson to make a decision about which socks to put on, let alone who to vote for. Sadly, he’s already 18…

Noel walked past me on the street in London once in the early 2000s. He’s significantly shorter than me and I’m 5’10. That is all.

That’s a brilliant line. Top notch.

Agreed. Far too “samey”. If Archer can play more than one game a season, he’d be a useful player to have in there. A left armer might help too, but looking at Josh Hull last Sunday, getting deposited all over West […]

I’ve not listened to them all but “The Wake” from 1985 I think, has been a favourite album of mine for nearly 40 years. It’s very much “of its time”, but is still a great listen, IMHO. I’m not 100% sure, but they […]

Andy Zaltzmans reel video thing about the England scorecard of the first innings is brilliant.

I saw the Searchers perhaps 15 years ago at the Mansfield Palace Theatre. May have been Newark, to be fair. Somewhere in north Notts, definitely. Anyway… 2 notable things. The drummer at that time was Eddie […]

It’s been mentioned above as a song, but I do love this version. And Thea generally, to be fair.

For cod’s sake…

Back in the 80s at uni in Leeds, Ram Tam was like gold dust. A good night if you found some

Or the later one “I grabbed you” by the Dooleys?

Based on my (Crohns treatment drug side effect induced) experience of pancreatitis, you don’t want that at all.
