To my mind, PC is where he goes over the top to “I’m so big I can get this to number one” status. SAD incorporates elements of every previous Ant hit in it’s so eagerness to please, whereas PC – big push Diana D […]

I was watching some American youths react to Stand And Deliver just this week (such things come up randomly on YouTube) who watched it without the benefit of any context and it made me realise how bizarre and […]

Back in ‘78 all us young Catholic boys had to pick a new middle name when we were making our Confirmation. The screws were pleased to hear so many opt for Kevin – one of the most popular Irish saints – but d […]

Blimmin’ frick, now that’s entertainment! If you missed it, make a point of watching the second half of Portugal v Croatia. That’s the thing, though: I always say how much I like knock out football, but then […]

Two hours of Oasis? – f***kin’ hell!!

Clue: it’s not the Groover from Vancouver..

That’s on the cover of my That’s Entertainment single, so I expect it’s on the cover of Sound Affects too..
