She’s a disgrace to the human race

Yes that’s their strategy, not the BBC choosing not to select them. Look how the odious Rees Mogg has been sidelined in recent weeks, for instance. It is incredibly lowering to consider that the Tories have an […]

An old friend of mine is a producer on The World At One on Radio 4. He can’t recall any instance of being directed to edit or present news with a slant. He did say that he finds CCHQ far more organised and […]

A cool one?!

Back in 2005 I moved to Dubai for a job. The first few months there were weird enough without hearing Hotel California everywhere – absolutely everywhere. I don’t think I’ve heard any other song so many times.

Just finished the audiobook of ‘Me’ (not bad at all, although the narration by Taryn Egerton is a bit annoying at times). Like Paul says above, some fantastic singles and albums in the 80s but as Reg recalls it, […]
