6 months ago I would have thought that was good but our experience was lump found March 10 at about 9pm GP appointment made online for the next day. Surgery, April 4th! NHS wins again!
It’s not a competition […]

Surely there really is nobody that has never covered anyone live.

Fontaines DC. Yep. I’ve listened to it a few times. It didn’t make my list. I like most of the tracks but I never seem to be in the right mood for listening to them all in a row! The tracks I’ve heard played on […]

Are we doing bands or just solo bods? If bands are allowed, I think Buzzcocks may qualify.

Blimey, are any still going? I reckon our Watford daily newspaper (the Evening Echo) stopped publishing as a paid for daily sometime in the 80’s, well before Internet came along. We never ‘took’ it but some of my […]

Yep, in person at Luton, by email for Bedford & Herts I think. I’ve never visited Bedford library and have no idea where it is. I need to go to a Luton lib & a Herts lib every two years to get my account renewed […]

It’s been a very strong year so far. I love it when my favourites are by artists that are new to me.
Top so far have been:
Caroline Spence – Mint Condition (For anyone not familiar with her, I think she sounds […]

Not all libraries are equal! I live in Luton and have accounts with Luton, Bedford and Hertfordshire their online offerings are all slightly different so it’s worth having as many as you can…especially Bedford […]

I’m sure back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, the Express wasn’t the same thing as it is today which is truly awful, and is often read by people that don’t get a more general view of the world via the Internet and […]

Sorry, i was being a bit presumptuous just using a surname, i meant Burt Bacharach!

By the way, in case you were wondering, Willie Vlautin is the main songwriter I Richmond Fontaine and The Delines as well as […]

also on free download from Bedford Library’s Freegal….. you have got a Bedford library account haven’t you?

We always had two papers delivered. The Telegraph for my dad and the Express for my mum. On a Sunday, a stroll to what I called the sweetshop, meant a copy of the Sunday Times and maybe News of the World were also […]

Unless you want your Bruce rocking out non stop, this will do most fans very nicely thank you. I’ve only listened once so far (goes very well with cleaning the kitchen!). I thought Bacharach as well but one […]

My school report always suggested I was a good student and was always in the top stream but somewhere along the line, before o’levels, I started to believe my own publicity and did very badly, the thing that […]

I think you’re right. The international women’s game was back at league 2 standard skills wise quite a few years ago now. It’d be very interesting to watch a game between a league 2 side and, say England Women. I […]

I’ll probably dip in and out, I saw some of the France game and the quality had certainly risen recently, I guess it must be 12 years ago now when I would have put the entertainment quotient on a par with men’s […]

Hmmm. That didn’t occur to me, I was trying to impress that it wasn’t sour grapes…. oh, and anyway,I thought the clever bit was the Costello quote at the end!

I simply don’t get the concept of a prize for doing your job (musicians, artists,sportsmen, politicians, authors, actors etc and the classic central heating salesmen). We have awards where I work, some people get […]

I think the same but I’ve often wondered what I’d do if I was offered one (I won’t be!). I’d rather like to see behind the scenes at a ‘do’ at Buck House…. I’d probably end up not getting past the dress code […]

Last time I was there for a comedy gig*, I believe someone nearly jumped the queue in the car park on the way out and a horn was about to be sounded before the misunderstanding was settled with a cheery wave but I […]
