I’m lucky (?) in that there are two branches of Smiths close to me. One is actually a halfway decent shop but that’s because they sell books – OK not the range of Waterstones or any other “proper” bookshop but […]

His first ten albums were, in my eyes at least, his best. After that quality control tailed off a little from “Blue Moves” onward with the occasional decent single but nothing like the quality of the albums that […]

The last gig I saw just before lockdown was Jimmy Carr and he was as good as ever.
However one of the very funniest comedians I ever saw was Mike Harding – saw him at Fairfield Halls in Croydon probably 30 plus […]

if Ive got the time or inclination I’ll play with them and try and keep them hanging on for as long as possible before telling them that they’re a cunt but we bought a BT call guardian phone which makes them give […]

Hi – would you be awfully kind and send me the link too ?

I use Twitter for two things mostly – one was to find out any news on late running trains etc when going to meet my wife and the other was to find out the team for the day’s game when on the way to see the […]

Probably Trump told him to do one !

2 Elton John – Jewel Box
3 Michael Rather – Solo 2

And there was me thinking that having dodgy hips was a curse – sounds like I’m a lot luckier than others ! I had a hip resurfacing 15 years ago on my left hip and have just (July) had a complete hip replacement on […]

I think it’s a wonderful album.
Watched the documentary yesterday which made an awful lot more sense of some of the songs.
Classic.
