Not exactly. Just remembering that I once had a web page with the track list of the karaoke machine from hell.
Can’t remember the details apart from Supper’s Ready, Mouldy Old Dough and Airships from the first Spizz album.

What I do know about Supper’s Ready is that it is not something you want to turn up at a karaoke night!

He may be a national treasure who I have a great deal of affection for but… Wilko Johnson.

Also, Bernard Sumner. I was watching a recent-ish New Order concert film on Sky Arts and thought “Hello. His voice […]

I am partial to a good compilation.
The one I listened to most over the years is probably The Biggest Dancehall Anthems 1979-82: The Birth Of Dancehall […]

Personally I haven’t been tempted, but I did have a go on https://sweardle.com a couple of times.

Much easier as it only uses 4-letter words, and even then only a reduced subset of 4-letter words.

One thing to look out for is the difference between a wordpress.org site and a self-hosted WordPress site. I think that book is aimed at self-hosted sites so a fair bit will not be applicable to a WordPress.org […]

After various job and home changes, I finally ended up in a situation where I can walk to work in 5 minutes. I finally managed to eliminate the commute from my routine and then it all became a moot point.

We […]

You should Google Tanzwut. Their Wikipedia entry has one of the greatest lines in Wikipedia… “Tanzwut are known for their heavy use of bagpipes, an unusual instrument for a metal band.”

Little Simz – Sometimes I might be extrovert
Public Service Broadcasting – Bright Magic
Gary Numan – Intruder
The Anchoress – The art of losing
Jah Wobble – Metal Box rebuilt in dub
Sons of Kemet – Black to […]

Its been a funny old year. Obvs.
It feels like life has been on hold for a year or two and that is not too desirable when you are on the cusp of 60 so realise you don’t have such a large number of years left that […]

Not sure about JCC

Read his autobiography and it got to the point where it was all about how to get his next fix. I hope he manages to keep his natural bonhomie and sparkling wit through it all, but you never […]

Based on their tweets…

I suspect that Jah Wobble is good company.
Rick Wakeman appears to be amiably obsessed with animal welfare and soup-induced flatulence, not necessarily in that order.

The gold […]

Although I have the Kindle app on my phone and tablet it is only for emergencies, and hardly ever used – but at those odd times it is very handy that it syncs up properly and remembers where you were.

On the […]

The recent change to Spotify *is* very frustrating. I found a lot of stuff through the ‘new releases’ tab of the ‘browse’ section, supplemented by the new releases you might like list and the release radar.

I’m […]

Thanks for the alert. Bought & downloaded.
It is in a massive pile/queue of unread books but I suspect it might jump the queue a bit.

Computer says no!

I had to look up Ivor Lewis. It looks like what I had, but my surgeon didn’t go for the keyhole approach but the one that leaves a pair of very impressive scars and involved breaking ribs and deflating a […]

I know it is unfashionable, but I quite like the post-Waters Pink Floyd. I like all the various incarnations of the band in different ways. I may have been influenced by having first seen them live at the start […]

The week after my diagnosis I took my motorbike theory test, but because of chemo I couldn’t do the practical. By the time I was recovered enough from the op to handle a big bike we were into lockdown.

When […]

The first GP is well past retirement age and nobody wants to see him.

We are always constantly amazed to find he is still working there. Maybe he is a senior partner or something.

From what I have learned […]
