I think a few off-colour gags in honour of the old goat are perfectly acceptable. As has been mentioned above, tact and diplomacy weren’t always his best friend. Plenty of examples of his “gaffes” have been […]

A lot of giving up in recent weeks. Maybe I’m just getting old

I had my first Pfizer shot three weeks ago. I’m the first of my group of friends and tbh seeing that teachers, people with learning disabilities etc are still to get theirs, feel a bit guilty. Apparently I qualify […]

Boring post alert, but any advice appreciated.
I use Mac’s Mail program, the one bundled in with OSX. It has never wowed me with its ease of use and filing, but in recent weeks, with several projects […]

Always loved the demented hysteria of Norwegian commentator Bjørge Lillelien in 1981

“We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten England 2-1 in football!! It is completely […]

Cheers! I’m always up for revisiting LPs with different guests – I think we’ve had two Hunky Dorys and people often nominate that one as their favourite. Theres quite a few still to get through!
