Would they say that after breaking wind, I wonder..

Hmm. Judging by the film clip that goes with the song, there are a fair few inmates in that particular hoosegow. Perhaps No. 000000000047 is very short-sighted? And a bit desperate?

The old Southern Democrats were very far indeed from liberal. The Republicans there were often more liberal in their views, though possibly not a lot. The famously segregationist Governor of Alabama, George […]

Lots of black ex-slaves, Native Americans, Mexicans and Chinese on the big cattle drives that feature so prominently in Wild West lore. I suspect white men might have been in a minority, as it was poorly-paid, […]

Hate to break it to you, BC but he ain’t talking about love.
A transplant song, sung from the perspective of the late unlamented Owner of a Lonely Heart, possibly. Obviously a pretty quick turnover in that […]

As we all know, if Moosey never had to go to work again at [Redacted] the fabric of reality would just crumble away, such is the importance of his secret lifetime vocation.
A further factor counting against every […]

My friend Hazel works for a restaurant and music venue in British Columbia and she was thrilled that they managed to book Judy Collins to play there a few months ago. Then doubly thrilled to be asked to take Judy […]

Zappa’s entire pre-death back catalogue has been reissued since then in the proper un-tinkered-with-in-the-’80s versions, let alone the many additional albums and extended versions that the family trust have […]

I vaguely remember the Harry Lime radio series from my childhood. I suppose it would have been on the BBC Light Programme (later renamed as Radio 2) or possibly the Home Service (which became Radio 4).

All 52 of […]

That’s what she was supposed to be doing, but she’s watching a YT video, listening to music, browsing the web and doing her homework.

After all Steve’s done for her and all that training..

With you there, Colin. I have The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge, but the last time I bothered playing any of them is sometime in the mists of long ago. I don’t dislike them, I’m just a bit indifferent to them.

He sees a red door and he wants to paint it blue.

They’re seldom in, Steve. Hence the baggy suits.

Tampere has it’s own jazz festival. These days they call it a Jazz Happening.
I have a rather nice “recording of independent origin” of the Jazz Jamaica big band at the 2004 festival. Also another of singer/oud […]

Capable of playing the latest games in splendour, you’ll be spending at least a grand, probably more. For about £750 you could get something with an i7 processor that can handle games pretty well but the graphics […]

Steve Howe has other projects worth a listen, but Yes (or in my personal opinion No, Not Any More) is where he makes the money to finance them.

Obviously she is incorrect, but don’t tell her I said so. In fact best not to mention it at all.

Can I take it from that, that she’s the one who does the hoovering?

Yes, you won’t get anywhere trying to drill an RSJ with a masonry bit.
Pick another spot on a different wall or try a bit lower down in the same wall. A long really-skinny screwdriver or a bradawl is handy for […]

A lot less clues to solve in the Uncut crossword but the questions are usually trickier. I cheat with both, in a completely shameless fashion.
I do as much as possible from my own limited knowledge – generally I […]
