It’s been pretty sunny here in Nottingham all day, light winds and fairly mild. Saw plenty of joggers and cyclists out and about this morning. Hope everyone is having a peaceful and pleasant day.

I’ve recently watched Cleddau on the iPlayer and can heartily recommend it. It’s a Welsh crime drama starring Richard Harrington who was also in the Welsh/English crime drama Hinterland a few years bac […]

Cloughie often had sons Simon and Nigel sat next to him in the dugout. You wouldn’t see that these days.

A year or so ago Rough Trade in Nottingham went from being a roughly 50/50 split in terms of sales area for vinyl and CDs to being almost all vinyl. It’ll be interesting to see if they return to how they once w […]

The documentary referred to in the article is a fascinating watch. He had all sorts round to the White House for parties.

I’ve tried a few in recent times and I’ve been quite surprised with the quality on offer. They’ve all been hazy IPA types, some of which have already been mentioned such as Days, Lucky Saint and Impossibrew. There […]

Probably the most disappointing year down the allotment for me and I’ve had a plot for around 20 years. The cold spring/early summer just seemed to push everything back in terms of germination, be it in the g […]

You obviously never saw me bat. Sad news. As others have said, he was a rare ray of light during a pretty depressing time for English cricket. There’s been some touching tributes from fellow pros of his era: A […]

I wondered if Beth Gibbons might have done a secret gig at some point, but apparently not.

I’d definitely like Mingling With Mourners by John Shuttleworth at mine. Includes the brilliant line ‘Bill had an allotment, which to him a lot meant’.

I think Bedi was at Northants. Notts had Rice and Hadlee. Amazing how overseas players stayed with one club for so long compared to today. Hashim Amla has played for four different counties for example. Sad […]

I’m not a huge fan. I’ve been to one game at Trent Bridge this year and only because a mate had a spare ticket. But it’s clearly selling well as TB has been pretty full for all four games whereas the T20 games […]

Top gig going @seanioio. Saw Duke Special in 2009 in Derby and Thomas Truax supported, but I think you’d remember him. I also saw him in 2007 at The Bodega (probably still called The Social back then) in N […]
