London, New York, Munich, Paris, everybody talk about Rolf H*rris.

The long versions of ‘Moonlight and Muzak’ and ‘That’s the Way the Money Goes’ are absolute monsters.

I seem to remember that Boomtown Rats and […]

We have a good variety of wildlife in our part of Somerset. We’ve a list of bird species we’ve seen in the garden and over the house, and I think there’s nearly a hundred. There’s probably been more, but when it […]

I couldn’t remember where I heard/read it first; I can remember the chap at college who told me it.

I think I must also have heard ‘Ladies and gentlemen I’ve suffered for my music . . . and now its your turn’ […]

That’s really interesting. We have swallows, swifts and house martins in close proximity to us in the summer, and I’d often thought there was an element of the swift’s ‘scream’ in the TIE noise. I think that one […]

Ashley Hutchings is an anagram of Ya Such Thin Legs.

John Shuttleworth would be utterly proud of that second line!

*sucks teeth* ‘ That mortice-and-tenon isn’t your best work, Ken’.

I thought the hyphen was used here.

Try this. Often works.

‘ If we’re playing Beeching’s-1963 convention; ‘Embankment’.

*runs away*

I think Lodey may have missed that, because you need a hyphen ‘ – ‘ between the words in a site member’s name, rather than an underscore ‘ _ ‘ to tag them.

Woolworths used to sell huge, serious-f*ck-off sized bars of DM, about 18 inches long. I think the Cadbury shop at nearby Street sell them.

I like a few squares of very dark choccie now and again, preferably over 60%. Sainsburys sell some very nice ones in their ‘F*ck Me This Is Yummy’ range. The darkest ones they do are absolutely fantastic in […]

Old Jamaica was always near to ‘Icebreaker’ in the sweet shops. Cadburys posh chocolates.

In other news, Bourneville dark is now inedible.

A few years ago, partner and I were sat looking at fishing boats in a harbour, identifying which port they were registered in. ‘EX’ – Exeter, ‘WH’ – Weymouth, ‘PE’ – Poole.

‘NN’. Where’s that, I said? […]

Paul’s a real fan of many of the SDE-featured artists, but especially TFF. Seems to have some influence with them, and good for him.

I for one will buy the record when it comes out, though I somehow doubt it will […]

Your favourites list is stored within your browser somewhere, and you shouldn’t lose it if you change the size of the browser window. You shouldn’t need to reinstall it, either.

You can export things like […]

I’ve seen Martin Clunes twice in Bridport WHSmith’s. Once he was behind me in the queue to pay. He’s very tall; a notable exception to the ‘celebs are all tiny in real life’.

‘historically Taunton is a part of Minehead already’. It is now, with the merger of Taunton Deane and West Somerset into ‘Swat’.

And soon, vun unitary authority for ze whole of Somerset, und who knows, the […]

‘Then there was a three mile queue just before Bridgwater on the A38. We usually come round on the B3339, you see, just before Bridgwater….We decided to risk it ’cause they always say they’re going to widen it […]

SABRE’s site has a lot of OS and other mapping, including 1:25000s from the 1950s.

The Pathetic Motorways site is fun, too.

If you use Google Earth Pro, then you may have old aerial photos available from the […]

I’ll see what I can do, but I’d just used typography inspired from various album covers.
