Fifer commented on the post, Happy Christmas all! 1 month ago
My timetable means I won’t be eating until 4.00pm, so no more very fresh air for me!
In the meantime, i’m sipping my Pol Roger and listening to assorted Christmas tracks. It’s definitely beginning to feel a […]

These Christmas Greetings come to you from a brilliantly sunny but bloody chilly West Sussex.
Somehow being promoted to Tier 4 seems less of an issue on this of all days. I have spent the morning catching up […]

It’s been called. He’s now a pile of burnt orange breadcrumbs! Pennsylvania – Biden’s home state – has turned blue. Now for four years of different deadlock!

Despite being an avid fan in his early years, I rather lost touch with Bob in the 80’s. For that reason, I have found his run from Time Out Of Mind through to Together Through Life to be unexpectedly enjoyable […]

As an alternative to Viv, I nominate a man cut from much the same cloth but with the added kudos of having survived an encounter with the Bard of Belfast. A man who, for some of us I suspect, is very much the […]

Like myself, the Great Man was a Fifer and his latter years were spent in the village of Auchtermuchty. This was on the road from Edinburgh to St Andrews and The Shand Band Van could often be seen as one drove […]

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!

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

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!

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 […]
