I’m surprised that Starmer hasn’t gone after the tax affairs of Rothermere and one or two others who shout loudly but pay no tax.

How do we get Farage, Oakshot and Tice to STFU? Robinson will get himself banged up again eventually, I suppose.

Have you heard his Pat a Cake album? He’s got a decent voice, very low. I exchanged a few words with him once, very affable.

I don’t often buy vinyl so don’t know if this is the new normal but there was no download code in my copy.

Does she claim single occupancy council tax discount? I think we should be told.

I’ve just got back from Resident Music in Brighton where they were in conversation. Unfortunately the sound was piss poor so I missed some of it. I have, however, got a bright orange vinyl copy of the new album w […]

I hadn’t heard of Nordic Walking. That explains the relatively fit people with sticks.

Ticketmaster are truly awful in my book, adding a ridiculous amount to the headline price of tickets. On a purely local to me note, I think I’m right in saying that the Brighton Centre no longer operate a box o […]

I’m waiting for the day when I can be economically inactive. I could keep going for another 6 years when I get my state pension but for various tedious reasons, mainly, but not totally, health/pain related, the […]
