I was astounded that 2 tickets standing in London was £109 and looking at the price breakdown, half of that seemed to be fees etc!

I haven’t used the Libre Office spreadsheet app for a while but the way it deals with macros is not the same as Excel so if you don’t use macros, fine, if you do, then you’ll have some work to do and you can’t […]

Conversely, in London, The Apollo isn’t my favourite venue (I can’t imagine that it’s anyone’s favourite!) but it’s much better than the Albert Hall where they played last time.

I’ve a feeling the album may come out after the UK dates. It says released Summer ’25. I’ve got my ticket down the front in London.

I’m a big country fan so I listened to it a few times. It’s very long. I think it might make a good 10 track album. Garth Brooks? I always categorised him as the country version of Phil Collins which isn’t […]

At work, we have a recognition system that’s accompanied by some cash. Is there a cash equivalent of an MBE instead? I would certainly not bow or scrape to someone to accept an award. I’d be interested to go to […]

johnw commented on the post, Is the playlist replacing the album? 1 week, 4 days ago
I rarely create my own playlists but I listen to playlists on Spotify a lot. I think of them more as replacements for the radio than replacements for albums. I’ll often hear tracks on playlists and then listen to […]

I think it would have been around the start of 1994 when I opened a Compuserve account. The hope was that it would make it easy to buy CDs direct from the US. I never did that with Compuserve but by early 1995, […]

I think they may have done it in a different order to that because the ChatGPT list is pretty similar.

The best one that I’ve learned recently is the hack to use your phone to test fuses. Simply hold one end of the fuse and prod the other end on the screen. Having the calculator app open is good. If you can press […]

I tend to agree about Bob & Paul, but W&G is well down the list because I’m in the camp that has never understood the appeal. I saw bits of the one that was on this but I struggle to get past the gurning faces – […]

I ‘admit’ to being a Spotify subscriber. I realise that the artists aren’t being paid as much as they would have been if I’d bought all the CDs but a. I’m not about to do that b. I don’t know of an equivalent […]

I didn’t realise that was real wedding footage! I saw NL with Rockpile in 1979 and I’ve got my ticket to see him in London in February. I wouldn’t be surprised if this creeps into the set! I think he may be the […]

I kind of wish I could write like that for may periods in my life but I can tell you just what I was doing at Christmas 1979 because it was the only year in my life that I kept a daily diary. The word bored or […]

I also hate Christmas. Actually, hate is now far too strong a word because I realised that I hated the whole of December because of the impending ‘doom’ which didn’t seem right. I worked all year and I should have […]

The last time I went to the Moth Club, on my short stroll back to my car, I passed a block of flats set well back from the road where someone was playing music probably louder than the gig is just been to! It it […]
