Paths never taken.
I used to listen to Rattlesnakes when I lived with K at University. I guess it is a University album. I still prefer it to all his others.

Her sister lived in Edmonton, and won prize guest […]

Wouldn’t you?
I mean it would be nice to be able to go out without being mistaken for Side Show Bob.

(and to be honest, I rather like Counting Crows).

I’m 2 and a half episodes into Foundation and it is possibly the most beautiful SF show around, but I’m not gripped.
2 episodes into Ted Lasso and I’ll be back for more

I love flip charts. I’m a trainer and yes I have my power points and videos. But nothing beats the thrill of scribbling some illegible half remembered thoughts on a flip chart to “answer” a question.

Friend has just taken a half time job nominally based in Admiralty House. In practice she can work from home in the North, which is where the industry she is supporting is actually based. Makes sense.

Back in the day when we used to do training in person, I used to work with an event coordinator in Manchester who did all the signing in type stuff. One of her other jobs was doing things like meet and greets for […]

Thanks for writing this.
All of us are probably going to have an experience we can relate to this at some time.
Its really good of you to share, and help us get our heads round it.

Sunken Condos is my second favourite of Don’s albums. Kamakiriad and Morph the cat just don’t have the hooks for me.

See it wasnt a daft question, was it?
(I love the bit on VHS storytellers when a taxi driver told Walter it was the “stoopidist lyric, any time any place”)

When I left Hull in 1980, male unemployment was 18%. It peaked at about 20%. It was 14% in 2010. The total population fell but recovered to about the same – 260,000. So bad but not getting worse.
2020 unemployment […]

I’d have blinked at £90. You can literally get a whole weekend festival ticket for £95, so it does seem a bit steep for one act with no support.

We got the £36 restricted view first dress circle tickets. Th […]

Me too.

Forgot Henry Lee.

Dropped girl child off this afternoon, and boy child last Friday. (He has already been home for a night). Both for their nominal second year. It’s easier than last time, but the house is very empty at the m […]

He was jolly good in Bradford on Wednesday.
And finished with Into My Arms, which was worth the price of admission alone.
Apparently everything else (apart from a cover of TRex’s Cosmic Dancer) was from the last […]

I’m more likely to go to that than I am a Morrissey gig.
Wouldn’t have seen that coming 3 and a bit decades ago.

Its surprisingly plausible, isnt it?
*Hang down your head

The BBC that is so biased to the left it gave him is own programmes for years?
That BBC?

To be fair, he does occassionally remember he is supposed to be a journalist – which Farage obviously is not.

Problem […]

the TLDR – pick one of the pre-Swordfishtrombone albums (probably Nighthawks or Heart of Saturday night) for his jazz/crooner phase.
Then pick one of his post Swordfishtrombone albums (probably swordfishtrombone […]

Correction: it is just one NHS app but the QR code proving vaccination status is England only, and if you want an international use THAT is the bit that needs proof of ID and a link to your doctor….
