Pretty much everything they’ve done is ace. Picking a few songs from the early to current I would go for About Today, Mr November, Fake Empire, I want My Girl, Day I Die and Rylan. And add Coney Island by T […]

The National are quite simply the best band in the world over the last 10 – 12 years. What a run of albums and brilliant live. WOD great as well. I suspect I have a very damp mattress.

It’s a belter.

This was the video. Strangely compelling even now.

I replaced all of the thermostat and frost free gubbins on my fridge about 4 years. Kit of all the parts was about £60 and there were videos on you tube showing me how to do it. Was very satisfying as well.

Haven’t the recipes for most things in jars changed (less sugar, salt and preservatives) which is why stuff that used to be kept in a larder no ask to be kept in the fridge.

Anyway, I read the label on things a […]

Football fans reflect society. The proportion of arseholes may vary to a degree depending on the event but the last time I went to football, there were less arseholes than at the last gig. (Reading v Leeds and […]

My first full time job after college was at Sainsbury’s. It culminated in the heady role of Customer Service Manager at the Guildford branch. To be honest, the attitude toward store staff was the main reason t […]

I have considerd Sainsbury’s to have had quite a good strategy of late. They were late to the smaller stores strategy but they seem to have caught up well on Local branches. I do think the purchase of Argos […]

Grealish’s impact is all going forward. He is a player you bring on when you need something to happen. He creates space for players, he worries defenders and they either don’t know how to play him or decide […]

It’s all generalisation really though isn’t it? Even the science is a statistically enabled generalisation.

It most certainly wasn’t rigorous. It’s was early when I typed it and I probably didn’t make my point clearly. People that took some effort to follow the guidance will probably make informed decisions. Those […]

So, basically, you blame stupid people more than those who deliberately set out to exploit stupid people for power and gain? Bit weird that.

Asked on the relatively small group of people I know well, I suspect those who have made the sacrifices will continue to do so through responsible choice. To those who went dog walking with COVID shortly after […]

I don’t think he ever gets bored if he gets to talk.

I definitely think some people have been ignoring those stricter conditions in the past as well.

Basically, some people don’t like following advice and some people are cautious. That about it?

Although they didn’t answer the question asked by Bloomberg’s journo of how many extra deaths the modelling is predicting because of the lifting on the 19th. For some reason.

Add that to the fact that the highest paid musicians earn millions for a piece of work they did years ago. At least footballers don’t get paid for the hat trick they scored 20 years ago.

I tell the defenders their role is to protect the goal, protect the penalty area not to win the ball in a tackle. Only tackle if they show you too much of the ball or if you really have to. But guard the area […]

Agree – you need to have a back up service. iTunes match, provided you are an iTunes user, is simple and effective. It has the added advantage of allowing you to stream your library on the Music app and not just […]
