But he told us on Lodger in 1979 “I am a DJ, I am what I play” (You were waiting for someone to say that. Cue the QI klaxon)

The difficulty with comedy ITV has alway had is the ad break. While BBC can work as a single “one act” story, ITV’s are in 2 halves, needing a middle punchline & enough interest to have the audience retur […]

Spirit “Future Games” The more popular choice would be “the 12 dreams of Dr Sardonicus” or their first album, but this is a mix of sci fi samples, half songs & fades, and really only works in a complete sitting.

I’m glad it was a good night. I only received the “forthcoming attractions” email on Thursday & other stuff distracted me. The Exchange is only a bus ride away & the Hampton hub within walking distance – so will […]

“Well put together” – They’d be missing a trick if they didn’t put it in a metal box

I think it was a good, but not great, tournament. The hot weather usually favours the big servers, but it seems that the courts were playing very differently this year & lots of the seeds exited early – Medvedev […]

Although the beeb weren’t able to broadcast their Glastonbury set, someone has posted this closing medley on YouTube

I think the tribute from Paul Rodgers, his long time friend & bandmate, is very good.. “Our Mick has passed, my heart just hit the ground. He has left us with exceptional songs and memories. He was my friend, m […]
