Hi Marwood

I remember starting The Underground Railway but really struggling with its use of the language of the era it is depicting. Does it get clearer. I’d like to read it as it seems acclaimed a leading b […]

I really like Lula Wiles as well but they seem somewhat obscure. Maybe if they play the UK we’ll be the only 2 in the crowd.

Sad to lose another legend from my youth. Saw him frequently around the watering holes of London. Last saw him berating some stewards at last year’s London Film Festival. He charged in from a long length to a […]

When was that?

Ooh, I’ll “shower” that app with my attention!

I also saw it in a cinema. My bladder was surprisingly benevolent.

I really enjoyed it. I take issue with you about Pacino’s performance. He is mainly “shouty” when playing the public Jimmy Hoffa. When he is in […]

Thanks for the review, picqued my interest to go on Spotify and now I’ll be making a purchase. Nice when that happens from a review.

Apparently that is the reason that John Wayne turned down the lead role in High Noon. He thought it was “Unamerican” that townsfolk would desert the Sheriff in his hour of need.

Who was the Labour MP suspended last year for saying that there was a “huge Jewish conspiracy against Jeremy corbyn”. He was initially reinstated but public sentiment saw him face disciplinary charges.

Out Of The Blue is one of Kermode’s films of the year so far! I liked it as well but it is not a film for laidback watching. BTW it is only very very loosely based on that Martin Amis book.

Paul, thanks for the heads up on the new Pernice Brothers album. As a by-product I discovered Joe’s Roger Lion album which had passed me by. Sounds great

QED

I am pretty sure I saw Clive Gregson in a queue for the Gents. Surprised he did not make an appearance onstage.

Oddly though, there were a lot of empty seats around.

Gatz, a couple of things I’d add of top of my head
– Eliza Carthy’s performance of The Great Valerio was, indeed, so good that I found my head turning upward as if Valerio himself was up there walking the lin […]

Really enjoyed the gig. Thought this exchange with Thompson and Hugh Cornwall between songs was worthy of mention.
After playing the school band staple, Tobacco Road
RT- “ so Hugh, i’ve lost touch with you sin […]

Given that he is a well-known tee-totaller and non-smoker, i’d think it a stretch to think he was a cokehead. And I hate the guy!

You could add to the week the whole ludicrous retweet from a sycophant, describing Trump as “King Of Israel” and “the Second Coming Of God” (sic). Oh and he started a fight with Ford and GM as they are too “politi […]

I think all of the opposition parties agreed with a referendum in principle, based on the fact they did not realise Leave would win. I seem to remember quibbling about the Question and the non-binding nature of the vote.

OK but do you at least admit you were wrong in your earlier statements trying to pin the referendum on that Coalition Government?
