Never forget the Rockpile “Born Fighters” documentary.

I’ve had a look and it seems a bit odd. If you want to recreate an historical ticket, you need to know the price, promoter etc. which I would only know if I still have the original ticket! It made me think though […]

I’m not convinced that Sparks fall into this category. Maybe publicly they just about fit but in terms of actual output over the years, when was the resurgence? There were maybe two weak albums way back in the […]

I think Adam Schlessinger would be my answer as well. Thanks for the pointer to Tinted Windows. I can’t believe I’ve never found them before. I’ve enjoyed listening to that today. I seem to be quite lucky in […]

This is the correct answer! It’s actually worse at work because, generally, I try to stay as civil as I can with my colleagues and moaning about it is not a good look.

I’ve been to Graceland 3 times now (spanning 30 years) and I’m not even a massive Elvis fan! The most recent visit (this year) took much longer because they’ve massively expanded it. I would suggest taking lunch. […]

It looks like the design of seated venues is wrong! They clearly need far more aisles in order that they can accommodate more row ends! If people are not booking because they can’t get an end of row then perhaps […]

I thought MTV had died as a music channel long ago too. Actually, I think the only things I ever watched on the European version, back in the eighties were mainly talk based with interviews etc. My favourite […]

…and Stacy’s Mom (at least in parts) nods heavily at the Cars – the video has a pastiche Cars reference.

I’m not convinced. That may once have been the answer but these days moving from phone to phone or PC to PC is a lot quicker and easier if you can connect them together and migrate huge amounts of stuff. That’s […]

I have a webbing belt I wear to smugly stroll through airport scanners without setting them off!

That’s not the case when your partner pays the bills and your name isn’t on the account.

There are several “Auditors” that put their videos on you tube of (sometimes) fairly engineered encounters with the police. They know their rights and it’s alarming how many of the police officers involved don’t […]

There seems to be a large part of the population (or at least a very noisy part) that believes that stopping immigration (and I think that’s all forms) will immediately make their lives better. I assume this […]

I like the idea of a form of ID that everyone can have. I recall when my mum was in her late 80’s, she needed some sort of ID (“like a passport or driving licence”) but by her stage in life, no longer had […]

Chips and mushy peas is a favourite but not really a proper meal. I’ll skip the fish and faggots though!

Sounds nice but cooking something between meals is just something I don’t do.

I think my tastes changed long before I left home. I used to really like my mum’s sponge pudding with golden syrup (never treacle!). These days I rarely eat a pudding after a meal… I’d rather have it a couple of […]

I’m no audiophile so Sonos is fine. It’s the multiroom capability and easy to use app that first sold us on it. That was back before they did speakers! We moved to Sonos after using Soundbridge for a few years and […]
