Ian Dury Not long before he died he wrote these lyrics. The man was a genius and we possibly never saw the best of him. I shuffled through the modes of bad behaviour And hankered for the desolated dawn I […]

For us it was pull down your pants and suffocate the ants.

You could almost say Popular: 80s ZZ Top Connoisseur: 70s ZZ Top I’m ashamed to say I knew nothing of their 70s output until, ironically, I moved to Texas in 2008. Heard a lot of their early stuff on a […]

I’d go with Tres Hombres for ZZ Top

It’s been brilliant. I’ve been watching with the sound muted and played some records instead. It’s incredible how well Team Europe has done in that atmosphere. Justin Rose shoo-ing Bryson’s caddy off the gre […]

Just realized my previous submission isn’t really available on vinyl unless you want to shell out abut 700 quid. So, how about The Liberty Of Norton Folgate

Wide Angle by Hybrid

Haven’t watched FT in ages but watched them a lot back in the 80s (my mum had them on video). I think, for me, it’s just edged out by Porridge which I can watch whenever it’s on.

1. First Concert – Bruce Foxton & The Rhythm Sisters at college in Devon. Had a pint with him at the bar afterwards 2. Last Concert – Kaiser Chiefs in Dublin 3. Worst Concert – I may have a ‘least favourite’ but […]

Teachers asks the class to draw a picture and then talk about what they’ve drawn. Johnny hands his to her and she notices it’s a blank piece of paper. Teacher: What is it? Johnny: It’s a cow eating grass […]

OK, not a video but this interview that Danny Baker did on the set of Tiswas is rather good. A brilliantly written piece and a band only 2 years into their career and the cracks are already appearing. It’s […]

You could try Tahiti 80. French pop outfit. Start with ‘Wallpaper For The Soul’, their best album IMO

We have tickets for Dublin. Really looking forward to it.

One son, aged 13. About to enter his 2nd year at secondary school in Naas. He’s already taller than his mother and has size 11 feet. He is very kind to others which is all we could possibly want from him.

I would highly recommend The Salt Path book which the movie is based on.

LP Vol 1 is a very good shout. Will be giving it an airing later.

Did they ever find the arsonist in Trumpton? There was a fire every fecking week.
