I heard “Fast Car” in the supermarket yesterday, and it made me think that after that brilliant beginning she slowly faded from view.

So, I asked the boy (18) (and yes, I probably did mean Acts rather than bands). His view that is that Dave is probably the biggest thing in the UK (I obviously thought that he meant a tv channel), that probably […]

I’ve been away too long – I can’t get the accent right any more.

Cats are always hungry.

That’s the sort of stuff!
Look, I’m not making any great claims for it being anything other than just enjoyable. But I’d rather listen to this than Cream. (apart from Badge, obviously)

I have huge admiration for people who get degrees while raising […]
