A few years old now so you may have seen it. Old time movie stars dance to Uptown Funk

There is an excellent two part documentary on the band floating around that I saw on television. Don’t know what it is called but it was full of stories about how much Frey and Felder hated each other. Every five […]

I have a Best of Procol Harum that doesn’t have Whiter Shade of Pale on it.

A mate of mine claims to have a Best of The Archies compilation that doesn’t have Sugar Sugar on it.

Off topic but Cambodia is a stupendous place for a holiday.

The sights at Angkor Wat are otherworldly, well worth the time, effort and money to get there. I loved it so much I would think less of someone who […]

This just cannot be more pompous. If it were “Spinal Tap in Rock” it would have been one of the funniest sight gags in that movie.

My favourite was Peter Cook’s nickname for David Frost. They had been friends but Pete spent a lot of time touring the US and when he returned to the UK he was not impressed to find that Frost had built a career […]

Once the world returns to normal I intend to visit Las Vegas. With that in mind I’ve been watching a lot of youtube clips of what to see, what to do, where to eat etc.

I had been in the 90’s and I don’t […]

and this is Mr Schaffer talking to Joe Walsh about the writing of Life in the Fast Lane.

This is David Letterman’s former bandleader Paul Schaffer talking about the first public airing of the first (and perhaps only) song he ever wrote which is of course Homer SImpson’s favourite song, “Ït’s Raining Men”

Down in Melbourne the most common cds seem to be by Michael Buble.

I laughed at the repeated shout outs for Robbie Williams as being the king. I’ve looked through more piles of used DVD’s than any sane person […]

It’s absolutely true. I told it once to a mate who had worked in a pub in Broome and he just chuckled. I then told him how I was walking down one of the main streets of Darwin fascinated by this trail of blood I […]

My introduction to Darwin…
I just got off a plane from Singapore at 3 in the morning.
I was standing having a smoke waiting for a cab when one came to me at great speed and came to a screeching halt at my feet. […]

Can’t really help you. You know how they say, “It’s a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to stay.”? Melbourne is the opposite. It’s a great place to live but I have no idea what a tourist would do here. There […]

Yeah I’m in Melbourne. My desire to read the final issue evaporated some time ago. Not being able to find it was very aggravating at the time but I got over it. Probably wouldn’t read the final one even if I had […]

Following some serious health problems I have not posted here for quite a few years. I didn’t flounce I just stopped posting. My nerves were shot to pieces and I can’t stand aggravation, no matter how mild, so I […]

Appalling? You’ll regret that! You all will!

1990’s Atlanta Braves second baseman Mark Lemke was known to his teammates as “Dirt”

I realised how much I loved The Larry Sanders Show when I was watching Larry’s P.A. Beverly deal with something ridiculous and I caught myself thinking, “I don’t know what they’re paying you but it’s not enough.”

Be careful out there!
The other day I picked up a book called Fortunate Son and was about to buy it when I had a closer look and put it right back. What a bizarre title for the subject.

Had one adventure in February

All day at work I felt like someone was squeezing the outside of my left bicep, hard enough to be uncomfortable. I got home and decided to take a nap at 5.00pm. I laid down for 15 […]
