Wot? The Vulpster is talking about Bowie doing the how’s your father at Live Aid..

Allow me to fetch your coat, BT. (only joshing – all opinions are ..cough.. respected here..

“It makes great toast”.

Thanks Steve! Every day on here is an education..

Joseph Gordon-Levitt wears a fake nose in the film Looper. He is playing a younger version of Bruce Willis and the ugly hooter is suppose to make him look more like the BOTVH. Thing is, we can all remember young […]

Nominated for the Mercury – think she has a strong chance of winning.,

They were showing old episodes of Call My Bluff on Beeb 4 (I think?) recently and I felt that now I’m just the right age to enjoy the pace as well as the chumminess of the the three regulars. Didn’t hurt that amo […]

Surprised you could put down your Gameboy long enough to post, ya whippersnapper..

The album’s been nominated for the Mercury Prize. Although The Guardian’s opted for a different take on the shortlist

Jesu Cristo! I never knew Come Dancing was about his sister dying and the last verse was wishful…
