Yes we do and surprisingly there is a strong trend for real trees this year (used to be just Ikea that stocked them).

Ours (artificial) will go up tomorrow once I can get two teenage boys out of bed to decorate it.

I shall just leave this here……

My wife was volunteering at the recent Buddhist Film Festival here in Singapore and she dragged me along to see a Bhutanese film – “Honeygiver Among The Dogs”.

It’s kind of film noir meets Buddhism. Quite […]

I’m not clear – hence the question….

On the other 2018 releases poll, there are a couple of instances of the Big Big Train / Merchants of Light album. That’s from a 2017 concert, so should it be on this poll ?

Are the Prince and Bowie classified as re releases ? Whilst they are both of concerts from many years ago, isn’t this the first time they have been released ?

Question – do the Kate Bush remasters count as one entry or should they be included via individual albums……

Another 1Password user here. It runs on all my computers (home and work) and iPhone / ipad and syncs seamlessly between them.

Interesting choice of The Tangent at number 1. I have recently got this and only a couple of listens in – it’s good, but it’s not yet grabbed me as one of the outstanding albums of the year.

Especially For You – Kylie & Jason

I generally use the default ringtone, with three exceptions ….

– for my Wife, I have the opening of Vivaldi / Four Seasons / Spring – her favourite piece of music
– for elder teenager boy (guitar playing […]

I just downloaded a pirate copy, but the quality was really crap – I could only see a little silhouette of a man……..

Hazel O’Connor / Will You, featuring a sublime sax solo from Wes Magoogan, who rather unfortunately lost his fingers to a circular saw accident….

Well someone’s going to mention Bob Holness, so it may as well be me….

Not heard much from Gerry Rafferty lately ?

A new iron (cordless), a recipe book and some sexy underwear…. isn’t that what everyone gets ?

I’m struggling this year also… my better half likes photography and fancies a full frame mirrorless camera. […]

Hopefully this doesn’t come across as one upmanship, but as I’ve probably mentioned too many times, I work for a major HDD company and we have just launched a 14TB drive.

My current DAS setup has 5x 10TB dri […]
