There’s some great comments above bringing back some wonderful memories. Thank you all. I watched Dr Who from the start. Going to bed presented a number of challenges in those days. Never mind the wolves on t […]

Some good choices above. For me: 1st single bought – Sweet Dream – Jethro Tull 1st album bought – Five Bridges – The Nice … but first album owned – Abbey Road – The Beatles – a present on my fifteenth b […]

[Nods head wisely like (P)Rick in The Young Ones whenever Alexei Sayle’s character spoke to him… i.e. a dim, confused look]. That said, I do understand what you are saying. For those not following too easily – o […]

Had to look that up on Wikipedia. I pretty much understand what it’s saying. Interesting… and I will dive in on a puzzle in the morning and have a go. Thanks.

Thank you for the link to the Killer Sudoku site. I will have a go. I, too, try and do a puzzle every day, in my case just to see if my brain is still working ok’ish. My favourite is Calcudoku from the Brain […]

Dunno if this counts: Principal Edwards Magic Theatre (loads of hippy types with the majority not doing/contributing much) became much smaller and tighter (only six members?) but also shortened their name to […]

A ‘spot on’ review from @Fitterstoke. IIRC, Noel G started off by saying something about the crowd probably thinking he couldn’t play the Blues. Damn right he can’t. On the other hand, hearing Rick Vito was a r […]

That’s one of my favourite video clips ever. Superb performance. Even Mrs Kid – a true civilian – was impressed.

The Yes Album. Their best album and by their best line-up. Not so sure about being in my Top 5 of all time however….. but maybe Top 6!

A couple of years ago when my dad died, my sister and I took one or two items from the house that both he and my mother had treasured and that we wanted to keep. The rest of the house contents were collected by an […]

John Lennon. Heard the news on the car radio. Pulled over in disbelief. Turned out that the world would never quite be the same again.

However, equally as upsetting, and confirmation that just being young […]

A tin of Hurry Curry (plus some cat food, of course).

I’ve got a soft spot for this one. It ticks all the prog boxes I think: mellotrons, twelve string, lyrics about something or the other, nice guitar solo and so on. I still swear to this day that I saw them live a […]

Coincidentally, I have just arrived in France on holiday and am debating what to get in the local supermarket for dinner tonight. Topping the list now is Brie, bananas and crusty bread… washed down with a little s […]

As per the closing line of King Crimson’s Indiscipline “I like it”. It’s certainly much better than the colour scheme that worryingly reminded me of the cover of that 70’s fave-rave, Gnidrolog’s “In Spite of Harr […]

I remember many years ago eating and thoroughly enjoying melted cheese and banana on toast. That was yum. However, your pizza sounds delicious and probably deserves the ultimate accolade of Double Pigs!

They were pretty good live when in their prime. I remember seeing them headlining at The Oval and again at Swansea football ground. My big issue with them is that they build up the tension in their songs but […]

I remember seeing Genesis performing SR when Foxtrot first came out. It was probably the same show that started with Watcher of the Skies with Peter Gabriel wearing ‘that bat thing’ on his head. It was all ver […]

And can you just imagine His Frippness shouting ‘Glastonbury’ at the audience and encouraging them to sing along with one of the choons!

Ah, happy memories. My mum was impressed when my mate and I borrowed the washing-up bowl to carry out, ahem, a science experiment for school in my room. She wasn’t too impressed a bit later, however, when the s […]
