Like the adverts with Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter. When asked, people thought they were for Martini, not Cinzano.
Won lots of awards for the advertising agency though.

It was an excellent gig. I have never seen them live together before. As you say, both singers were in excellent voice and have obviously been taking care of them.
There was a lovely Tabor moment at the […]

Two friends of ours retired to Bridport three years ago and are having a great time. Just avoid the main A road on Saturdays during the school holidays and Bank Holidays.

We are facing exactly this question. Probably retiring in summer 2021 and currently living in tied accommodation, so we have to find somewhere of our own. No children, so no particular family ties, except one […]

In a department store, you could buy furniture and have it covered in corduroy, felt, suede, or even denim.
In fact you could buy everything but the girl.

Bruce’s Nebraska is a retelling of ‘Badlands’. Both are accounts of the Starkweather killings in 1958.

I’ve just enjoyed an hour with Michael Kiwanuka and a very good band.

5 to get from the Goodies to Tinariwen – via The Troggs of course.

I agree that it isn’t Simon and Garfunkel’s greatest song, but I disagree that it is made by the production. Have you heard the live version from 1969? It is just Art and the piano part (played, I presume, by […]

Keith Richards’ Life is 99p on Kindle, for today only.

We’ve often played it as individuals, with the winner being the one with the most correct answers. And we only allow one word for the second round, not two.
Oh, and we don’t restrict ourselves to real people: […]

It was in yesterday’s Kindle Daily Deal, sadly now over.

99p on Amazon just for today.

I saw them at the Warwick FF in the summer and very impressive they were too. If I remember there were a few jokes at the expense of the English one, who didn’t know what he was singing.
If the CD had been […]

‘Marley was dead, to begin with.’ DIckens: A Christmas Carol
(It’s the placing of the comma that adds to the brilliance.)

Looks like its back to the iPod.

I used to catch RadMac on the way to or from evening meetings back in the old days before Radio 2 closed down. And then it’s been catching them when travelling around in the […]

Without wanting to lower the tone – there’s always Mr Loaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”.
