Ennis. Home of Ireland’s largest lingerie section I believe.

Middlesex. Almost on the border with both Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Just inside the M25 which was being built while was I was a boy. Ours was a proper village but quite close to London. School fetes, […]

So, I just did the first batch of records with the Knosti. Seems to do a really nice job. Thanks gain folks.

Thanks guys. Ordered a Knosti set from Thomann.

The one that springs to mind is William Shatner in Boston Legal. It’s a role you just can’t see anyone else pulling off and he is quite superb. James Spader must get a nod here too. A great double act.

We went to the show last October. Essential if you’re thinking of getting one so you can get a feel for what you want. Was invaluable for us. We ended up with a lovely 3yo Tessoro which we have taken on its m […]

Starmer has a very tricky path to navigate over the next 2 years. In addition to stabilising the economy he must steer the UK away from its excessive reliance on the U.S. This, of course, would have been somewhat […]

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 […]
