I always had Roddy McMillan – Para Handy & The View From Daniel Pike – in my head as the perfect Rebus; jaundiced, a cynic but with a sense of humour. Sadly he died far too young for the role.

A new series […]

Should be John Hannah surely? Then he could add a triumphant Lamb to his masterful Rebus! I do often wonder how on earth some casting decisions get made; there may well be a thread in here somewhere.

But if there is no MP3 option – as can often be the case with rereleases – then no track listing. Oh well, there is always Discogs, but is going to be somewhat frustrating. Why would they do this? They’ve […]

I’m in and enjoying the sense of nostalgia! Their Word In Your Attic webcasts on Youtube are also worth a look. In these interminable times, one needs to find distraction where one can!

If I have to go to the desert island, these are the 10 I would take:

1 – Blonde on Blonde – Bob Dylan
2 – Otis Blue – Otis Redding
3 – The Rolling Stones – The Rolling Stones
4 – Unhalfbricking – Fairport […]

Rob, what a great recommendation! Duly ordered and aren’t there some real gems? All killer, no filler – as they (used to) say!

In these troubled times, it’s heartwarming to see the return of Statler and Waldorf!

How great to have such a rich and variegated range of views, experiences, suggestions and observations. It takes me back to the old days of the Friday lock-ins in the Aspidistra& Hat Stand! Such times we did […]

OK, so who is it in self-isolation who has let his OCD get the better of him? This rounding up will only lead to trouble!

I know what I meant!

Donation duly delivered; you’ve all done very well! (waves stick whilst falling backwards into unfeasibly busty nurse)

Since losing my wife, I have found my viewing habits have changed. I watch less and less real time TV but find myself searching out old BBC programmes on all these oddly titled stations which seem to specialise […]

The latter. My impression is that Cummings (and the Vote Leave crew that come along with him) knew exactly what they were doing, because – unlike Labour – they went out and listened to what was being said all […]

I have been devouring loads of ‘stuff’ about the election result and it’s origins/causes. Obviously much of the soul searching is on the left – the right, Dominic Cummings apart, probably still can’t believe what […]

He’s ticking lots of boxes there. I take it you’ve checked out the career implications of a Scottish Law degree? In some circumstances a conversion course – a further year – can be needed in order to practice […]

In my time relations were pretty good and peaceful co-existence was the norm, not least because the University was a major employer and contributor to the local economy. Then the golf got big and the associated […]

My eldest granddaughter has a similar aversion to the bright lights. So her university of choice this year for her Art degree was the University of the Highlands & Islands. This operates a distributed campus […]

…and thanks to a software glitch you’ld be forever on Highway 61.

Good spot, John. I’m off for a couple of weeks on Friday, so that’s my soundtrack sorted. Many thanks.

There’s a queue!
