Nightlife would have been a difficult sell to those Germans, I’ve never met anyone who actually likes that album! Brian Robertson blamed the producer Ron Nevison for making them sound like “a Cocktail Lounge […]

But we’ve always had to deal with people’s views, however difficult or even just plain obnoxious we might find them.
The only difference is that there is the magnifying effect of many people expressing the same […]

I would love to have seen Thin Lizzy in 1975. I imagine at that time they would have been very much a rock act and maybe would not have played the earlier songs which are my favourites. But still it would have […]

Could you imagine Theresa May or one of those other Droids attracting much more than indifference?

No I couldn’t tell. He hasn’t got it tattooed on his forehead. I was watching ITV when Holly Willoughby was reading his statement and they were gushing about how brave he was. He’s such a soldier, I was not […]

And why do they feel that they should cover the ITV non story; “Phillip Schofield: I am gay!” Anyone surprised?

The BBC has lost its way no doubt. When they feel the need to broadcast warnings before reruns of Porridge you struggle to imagine the “outdated language” that justifies the concern. It’s the culture that’s […]

I’ve never been converted so am often bemused by the stature they are given here. Still, I haven’t heard much of their stuff so I cautiously concede there could be something..though Rikki Don’t Lose that Number is […]

Some people would lose all sense of purpose without the daily grind. This work free existence won’t suit everyone!

The trouble with lists is that they hold an unnatural fascination to people who like lists. It’s a crying shame that music lovers aren’t as interested.

It’s in bars and restaurants where the change is something I’ve noticed. Before, anyone out on their own was fair game for my attentions, but now heads are buried deep in lalaland- don’t try to communicate with me!

I do have reservations and particularly people who are using their phones in public situations, especially if their use is to avoid social interaction, worry me. I’m also annoyed by pedestrians who leave the onus […]

I would deny this, particularly your first point. What never seems to attract much attention is just how far out of touch with the rest of the Union has London become.
There’s very little animosity here towards […]

Of the candidates, Jess Phillips is the one who would be my preference. Please God, don’t let Corbyn choose his replacement.

Is it the half that couldn’t understand the need to coalesce around a single party?

I started at a new job and everyone seemed to be cricket fans; one of my co workers was a Pakistani on the fringe of their national squad and it became apparent that he wouldn’t be doing much, his Sunday batting […]

Laura Kuenssberg is the BBC’s gift to us all.

Even as a Conservative, I can agree with this.

It must be awful for them, that doubt has arisen around the hoped for adjective.
