I remember seeing the movie on TV in the 80s and being underwhelmed*. I’ve never bothered since although it might be worth another go. Possibly better to cherry pick the best performances?

* I felt the same way […]

It’s worth looking at the blog Lando linked to, just below here. Corbyn could have a lot to lose by not co-operating with any proposed “Government of Unity”.

If there’s a vote of No Confidence and Boris schedules an election for November, ie after we are supposed to have left, can the EU extend Article 50 to say, the New Year, or can it only be extended by the UK g […]

Lodestone of Wrongness’ local, somewhere in Languedoc, yesterday.

I don’t think it’s fair to expect the EU to carry on as before when the UK voted to leave and were told that this would be an issue. The arrogance of Johnson et al, expecting the EU to give them their own way, is […]

I haven’t seen anything to convince me that this government has any idea of what will happen in the event of a No Deal exit. Johnson and Rees Mogg saying it will all be fine/wonderful just doesn’t cut it for me. […]

In Spain, it’s a cured meat

Having grown up in suburban London and spent most of my working life, at least partly, in London, I’d like to see the development of Metroland, specifically along the Metropolitan Line, between WW1 and WW2. The b […]

In the dull as shit world of corporate AV a sting is usually edited so that when played, it starts from the bit everyone knows, eg Simply the Best. I used to know where the drum/chorus started but as no one in […]

Little known fact: Jim Kerr loves peas and anything to do with them. He just had to have Patsy.

I’ll make a list soon and let you know. The big stuff is mainly video although there’s a bit of sound too.

FWIW, we cull books every couple of years and CDs are all digitised and stored. If we downsized, I’d think about getting rid of the CDs but it’s not an issue at the moment. We don’t have enough DVDs for it to be […]

The movement of equipment for live shows is a potential problem. I used to work on European roadshows when a carnet was needed for everything. Once the carnet was created (a list of every item on the truck, […]

If a vote of no confidence succeeded, would the EU not extend the leaving deadline further in case, by some miracle, a party willing to cancel Article 50 or at least hold a confirmatory referendum won?

It is a great album and you’re right, they’re Dutch. It’s available on CD from Amazon or it’s also on Spotify.

Slightly off topic: I have an album of standards from 1989 “It’s The Talk Of The Town And Other Sad Songs” by Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The cover, by Piet Schreuders is a take on cheap paperback fiction, parti […]

Exploitative would be the Blind Faith cover.
