@Mike_H not my experience at all. I worked in my local record shop last year on RSD. It was packed and queues stretched some way back outside of the shop. A good percentage of the clients were young and were the […]

Drift? Moi? Surely not! I never wander off the topic. Ever! Good point @Mike_H. And @mikethep is right too about the line between melodrama and maudlin. in country music. So what about Kenny Rogers and Ruby, […]

@Mike_H and then for good measure, they bomb and cripple people fleeing on their way to ‘safe places’ too. And the aid workers trying desperately to help them

Perfectly expressed, @Mike_H! What an extraordinary writer he was! Tearing up the fiction handbook before it had even been written. This chap explains it well: Rory Stewart is another big fan of […]

They certainly were @Mike_H. None more maverick! What I remember is all their cray stunts. So I was surprised to read that in 1991 they were the best-selling singles band in the world. Watching couple of the […]

How are your insurance premiums, @mike_h ?

I seem to remember @Mike_H posting regularly as he worked his way through it. Did he ever get to the end? He is a prolific listener.

As regards Trump’s approach to foreign policy, @MIke_H, this superb review of a very important book is well worth reading. It’s the memoir of a senior policy adviser, H. R. McMaster, who served Trump during his […]

That Pete Churchill song is excellent @Mike_H But as far as I can see, no one has ever recorded it. I see that he has written a lot of material for Kenny Wheeler but I drew blank there. Smashing version anyway.

Am I right @Mike_H Media Monkey talks to iPods?

@Mike_H And you wonder why Jack Black didn’t respond to your application for a role in his upcoming movie.

@Mike_H I came back from a sort break in the UK about 10 days ago and have been struggling with something very similar. Mrs J came down with it, too, and has it even worse. Both done several Covid tests, all of […]

@Mike_H @fortuneight Not pouring petrol on the fire by issuing a statement that clearly stated your boss was unaware of the nature of the events Edwards had been charged with only to recant the very next day […]

@Jaygee it wasn’t to your post but a response to @Mike_H

Who are you registering the card with @Mike_H ? On Trainline I just have to say I’ve got a senior railcard and it applies the discount, I didn’t have to register it.

Let My Children Hear Music @Mike_H

See you there @mike_h, though I have bought the book. Train ticket and hotel will be more than that.

@Mike_H yes to clarify I was basing my comments of buses on my memory of using them when I first started working. Double deckers, smoking on top where it seems every passenger except me and my mates were […]
