She has her hands full this week doesn’t she what with son number 2 in the headlines. I wonder if she regrets not packing it in when Phil did.

I think the Boy Bruce was ok in the first season but unfortunately puberty wasn’t kind to the casting.
I’m told by a chap at work at work who knows these things that the Fish Mooney character was one of the few […]

Did anybody watch Gotham? I stayed with it till the end, all 100ish episodes. Yes it was a bit cobblers but also really great fun. I’ll miss some of those characters particularly Penguin, Joker, Riddler, Lee. B […]

Looking at the forecast I think the weather is due to win this one. Might get three days in (which admittedly is often enough!)

Mid Victorian Britain I think. Whilst there, I’ll have a word with Chas Dickens and advise him on keeping the rights to musical versions of his works.

I’m really enjoying the audiobook version of Michael Palin reading “Erebus, The story of a ship”. The story is fascinating enough, but with Palin’s narration it’s an all-round experience that I don’t wan […]

Blimey its good isn’t it? I’ve been falling out of love with football for the past few years, but this tournament is so refreshing. Games are being played (mostly) in a great spirit, no prima donnas or mul […]

I like a bit of Burt myself and he is absolutely a top songwriter. Some of those atmospheric sixties anthems are to die for (Dionne Warwick etc). Nothing wrong with a bit of quality easy listening.

Listened to it on the commute this morning. Some nice “On the Road” songs there and I had a nice relaxed trip in. I do think he’s overused the “Burt Backache” / “Val Doonican” string arrangements a bit though. […]
