Yeah, but a bit of “fluffy” fun, which I think was kind of the point.

Part of the problem is that the definition of ” liberalism” is not a single thing. The word Liberal means different things at different times to different people. Originally it sprang from libertarianism and […]

All of this is true. Though I suspect he must inwardly groan whenever he sees another one of my tweets…

And very good you were too 🙂

NO. no guilt involved in this at all.

I despise the “guilty pleasure” label. I either like something, or I don’t. No shame attached.

I too am a regular listener and correspondent to Bob’s show, and I may even have suggested a couple of those songs (I’m sure Mississippi was one of mine, but I forgot Daniel Boone’s Beautiful Sunday until it was […]

That blu-ray has just been bought (as a memento now I’ve actually seen them perform it). I don’t have the living room audio set up to make full use of the surround mixes, which makes me just a little sad.

Not looking round to see that the actual pitch is now a bombed out battlefield.

Corbyn’s “general election” mantra and “strategy” (for want of a better word) is beyond annoying. I don’t really see how Labour can […]

It’s the role he was basically born and raised to do all the way through school and Oxford – essentially president of the sixth form debating club. His supporters are very quick to tell us just how much of a […]

half the public will lap it up. What the other half do is anyone’s guess.

Only another 117 days before we find out…

Like Charles Hawtrey with a mouthful of sour gooseberry

Good point, well made.

It was, and that was a good thing – from Harold Lloyd clip shows, Stan & Ollie, some Chaplin, Bilko (ace in every way) and Serling a-go-go. Then you’d get series like The Monkees, Get Smart, Bewitch, I Dream of […]
