Although it doesn’t really work with an apostrophe and looks a bit odd without one: Madam I’m Adam The capital letters don’t work either, but apart from that…

Another thing with Corrie, which I assume they still do as I haven’t watched it for years, is go in the pub and ask for “a pint”. I always wanted the bar staff to reply “A pint of what? I’m not psychic “.

Their ginger beer is excellent. I hadn’t realised the sugar content is really high, even though I normally check, which is why I stopped drinking San Pallegrino. The Fever Tree light drinks are probably the b […]

Another vote for Adnam’s Ghost Ship 0.5%. Not that keen on the bottled version but its better than most. I actually prefer the keg version to the normal strength cask which, like any cask, can be a bit hit and m […]

I’ll miss those cards. Anyway, words from the tv? I’m a bit disappointed it wasn’t a random snatch of lyrics from the new Nick Lowe album. Apparently it’s a belter!

We love a Sunday roast during autumn and winter. Today is the first time we’re having one for months. We’re having chicken, Mrs D does an excellent roast but my job is the Yorkshire, which is about to go in, as […]

I don’t like to come on to be negative, we’re huge fans of Nick Lowe, live and on record, and have been since the seventies but we gave up on it after about five pretty much identical sounding dull songs.* To be […]

Not sure if it was ever a catchphrase but my parents used to say “suits you being ginger”, which made even less sense given that none of us were ginger.

Yeah, ends well though!

Ian Hunter’s spoken outro, I won’t call it a rap, on ATYD.

Thanks again for the review, it resulted in an excellent soundtrack to cleaning the kitchen.

Great review. I’ve only got the’Best of’ but I will have to give this one a listen today.

More ‘Gnasher’ than ‘Basher’ then…

No idea but around the time of the ‘Brentford Trilogy’ Nick Lowe shtarted shinging like that shometimesh and itsh a bit irritating.

I’ve never knowingly heard any of his stuff ever. Was he the very tall predatory one or was that Long John Baldry? Do I qualify for the klaxon?

Mott The Hoople becoming Mott after Ian Hunter (and the short lived guitarist Mick Ronson) left and they drafted in those two blokes whose names I forget.

I like concert going, not that I do much these days, but I have never seen the appeal of festivals. My highlights for today are cleaning the bathroom and making a nice salad for when we get back from the pub.

A vacuuming simulator, of course. Should include someone’ shouting at it because it’s still insisting the dust filter needs changing.

I believe that’s because it was only yesterday when they started.

Me and the house are getting on and require more maintenance these days. If I was unorganised and called the chimney sweep late September/early October I’d get an appointment in December at the earliest, which d […]
