The first two episodes of the new series have been superb – hoping the rest of it is as good.

Whither Dexter? It had a couple of ropey series but when it was good, it was tremendous.

Oh, and sorry for the double post, this, which I reckon is one of the best pop singles of that era.

Possibly a bit early, but certainly sounds like UK Garridge (and is a proper banger)

Fantastic record – and what I would have posted on here had it not already been posted.

While it’s nice to see a nod to Disney/Pixar with the Incredibles, I’m surprised not to see Inside Out on there which is one of the most affecting films I’ve seen over the last 20 years.

Last holiday in a (static) caravan I remember as a kid (well 13, which almost counts) was in 1991 – most frequently heard things that summer were “More Than Words” by Extreme and “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred […]

Louchie Lou and Michigan (sorry)

According to my daughter (8) while we were watching Miley Cyrus (and her Dad) the other week on the tv coverage of Glastonbury, “Old Town Road” is what all the boys sing at school. It’s not a bad tune, although I […]

I was probably a bit too young when it was […]

Woop Woop!

Rock’n’Roller Cola Wars, I can’t take it any more…

Lucky Humber?

Gave guinea pig a miss in Peru, but did try alpaca a couple of times. Bit tough, but quite tasty (somewhere between lamb and beef).

Oooh, you’re not far from me then (I’m in Redhill).

I’ve been wondering if it’s the Doctor Who quarry that’s now a lake with a beach on that keeps popping up on one of our local Facebook parents pages as a […]

Um…

Manic Street Preachers 21st December 1994 at London Astoria. I’ve seen them 5 or 6 times since (they were fantastic at the Albert Hall a couple of years ago), but this was the first gig I went to (aged 17) […]

Blink 182 at Wembley Arena. Not my favourite band anyway, but was one of my then girlfriend’s (now wife’s). We’d seen Linkin’ Park together who had confounded my expectations by being both terrific live, and […]

Half the World Away might be my favourite song of theirs full stop.
