I like it!!
madfox commented on the post, So I said to Elton John 3 months ago

I’ve just ordered Elton a crate of pens for autograph signing purposes. He was understandably a bit anxious about quality control. He said, “It’d better not be a huge consignment of dirt-cheap ballpoints.” I said, […]

I like to phonetically spoonerise vowels as well as consonants, sometimes whole syllables.

Every Saturday I lie my truck and buy a couple of tittery lockets. I always go for the lippy ducks. You never know, I […]

Thanks, you’re too kind!!

My excuse is that I’ve just been to see Tim Vine, master of the painfully contrived pun/spoonerism/mishearing, experimenting with material for his upcoming tour. I’ll give you some […]

So I said to Elton John:
“Elton – you’ve written some wonderful music in your time. How would you describe the feeling you get when you’ve put the finishing touches to a song, and you just know it’s a classic? Is […]

To be honest, Tiggs, I was looking for the number of HIGH-QUALITY songs involving a certain name, rather than simple frequency.

I only have to watch the video for “Blend” to get my mojo back.

Name songs. They are countless, and their quality is variable. From the heartbreaking beauty of Lennon’s “Julia” to the mind-numbing crassness of… well, there are too many bad’uns to choose from.
It struck me […]

Very funny in its prime.

My youngest daughter’s ex-fiancé’s aunt’s mum was June’s best friend since childhood. No, really. I attended the great lady’s 90th birthday bash laid on by Friends of Wimbledon Theatre and can confirm that June […]

My ringtone is a recording of my cat snoring. Couldn’t hear it above my wife snoring.

Ah, I like that. Antina Turner. Sounds like the polar opposite of the WLGTDWI hitmaker, the Anti-Tina, if you will. Which Anthea probably was, depending on your sexual politics.

My friend Paul had an Auntie Tina.
