I think that Corbyn was never likely to win. But if the Labour Party had got behind May’s plan for a watered down solution – instead of the self interested destruction of her government – there would have been no Johnson.

If the BBC wasn’t so left leaning, none of this would be happening. And if the other main stations were not similarly inclined, GB news wouldn’t have been conceived. It’s depressing that there’s a need to watch […]

I bought all of U2s earlier stuff before recognising that I didn’t really enjoy it.

And all but forgotten, which is a shame.

It’s the ELO album.

Astral Weeks Eldorado Vagabonds of the Western World

I’ve become jaded watching some of the big servers in the men’s game making for some unwatchable contests. That said, there has been some highly watchable tennis this time. Alex de Minaur v Djokovic was fantastic […]

Recommendation noted. I’m using Aldi’s now, unsurprisingly it tastes like Marmite.

Norm and Cliffy, what a twosome.

What is this “involvement” of which you speak?

The immigration problem must be hard for even dyed in the wool liberals to continue to shout “racism” without seeing from other’s perspective. I live in a town where we live separate lives from our immigrants; I […]

£1000 fine each. To read some of the comments you might suppose that vandalism is a new phenomenon.

I bought those first four albums. I think they’re all great – even the not so well liked Music for Pleasure. Sorry to hear of the death of a founding member, a sad reminder of how long ago it all was.

I wasn’t interested in reading at all, though I can remember one of Richard Scarry’s What do People do all Day books did ignite something. Education is wasted on the young -or formal education- it’s a time for […]

Great band, the best of the bunch for me. The best album though is Live Xcerts and the best song Nice ‘n’ Sleazy. The Raven- apart from the title track – I struggle to remember any of it, and agree with Mosley about Rattus.

Sometimes for me, that dud- track three side two- suddenly starts breathing and two years after it’s first hearing, long after the others have attained mundanity, I’m obsessed with it. I used to get annoyed […]

All Dire Straits albums have to have something dire on them. Speaking of which: where is the love for Simply Red?

I can remember buying a phone with internet access and pressing the icon only to find I had to type in a subject. Later discovering I needed to be connected to WiFi. It seems so long ago that the hope for the […]
