Hi, just a quick update about my writing, if anyone is interested.

So far approximately 3,500 people have downloaded my book, which makes me feel so happy.
Most were free downloads, but that is fine as I just […]

Sodajerker interviews with songwriters are excellent,

I think number 3 is my favourite so far. SIan Clifford is great in everything.

But my favourite line is still “Trinidad and Tobago”

Robert Forster – Grant and I

I never get bored of Beatles chat. And it made a better soundtrack to Liverpool / Real Madrid than Steve McManaman.

Bob Dylan – Desire

I love Dylan’s mid 70s releases. Every track is great, but especially hurricane and Sara. Maybe because of Emmylou Harris backing vocals and Scarlett Riveria’s violin too.

I had astrazeneca 10 days ago. Sounds similar. Well organised, over quickly and no major side effects. Perhaps felt a little chilly too, but then it was very cold weather too. As one of the clinically […]

From the same match
– Goals pay the rent and Keegan pays his share.

Only 10 from me, but that is pretty good, as I am normally a year behind on most the albums.

1) Bob Dylan – Rough and Rowdy Ways
2) Mary Chapin Carpenter – The Dirt and the Stars
3) Taylor Swift – […]

Publishing a book of the blog I wrote every day during my lockdown. Getting the proof copy almost made me as happy as Liverpool winning the Premiership.

I didn’t sell many copies on Amazon, but gave away […]

The two go together, you need to have the vaccine to stay alive to watch the film !

A good year for documentaries. Once upon a time in Iraq was the best I have seen since ken burns Vietnam. The Last Dance was superb even if you don’t like basketball. And the Murdoch as mentioned. And […]

I love watching foreign tv too, and trying to watch more of Walter.

I saw both series of My Brilliant Friend during the lockdown, and it is superb, and not as sentimental as I expected.

Just finished the […]

Great review,

and I would agree it is a definite return to form. It is the album I have enjoyed most over the last few weeks. Not sure it is as good as Come On Come on, but then that would be a very high bar.

Excellent as always. It would be worth listening for the Phil Collins story alone, but there is so much background information I didn’t know,

So many, but I go for

Seinfeld
Frasier
Community – the most inventive
Modern family

Normally the early years are the best, and most shows overstay their welcome, seinfeld excepted.

A very peculiar […]

Yes, the national opinion poll of a 10 point Biden lead, was always misleading as the electoral college means Trump only has to narrowly win the key marginal states.

It is a worrying time as the Guardian […]

Facebook (hopefully reminding me of a friend’s birthday)
Email
The Guardian
BBC sport – especially the football gossip column (even though it is pointless as the transfer window is closed for another 2 […]

I should have added that the series of QI random facts books are available for 99p today.
