One very sensible suggestion I read the other week, was to take a picture of the remote control, so that when you’re guiding them over the phone, you can clearly explain which button you mean.

I immediately thought of this by Darts. Annual County Fair. I only ever heard it acapella, when they performed a session for Charlie Gillett on Radio London, before they hit the charts.
I’m not sure if it was e […]

Being out of contract, I changed my Virgin package today & found it surprisingly easy.
Ringing 150 & choosing thinking of leaving (option 4) I first had a recorded message saying they’d reduce it by £4 for the ne […]

On a miserable day in a rubbish year, this has put a smile on my face & given me something to look forward to in 2021. Thanks for posting

The Steve Lukather autobiog “the gospel according to Luke” is a 99p last minute deal

GCU-Grey-Area is the “Knowledge of All Fonts” then?

I didn’t know, until reading Karen O’Brien’s biog of KM, that they recorded the vocals separately.

I’ve never been to Bibbing

“We four lads from Liverpool are,
One (John) in a taxi, One (George) in a car.
One (Paul) on a scooter, tooting his hooter,
Following Ringo Starr.”

Two of my friends in their mid fifties have (separately) suffered bad run ins with Covid.
One was hospitalised, delirious, lost a lot of weight & sloughed blood clots as he started to recover. 7 months on, he’s p […]

Bruce Forsyth told of how he & Sean Connery were sharing a taxi from the airport after having been playing in a celeb golf tournament.
The cabbie was looking in his rear view mirror at Brucie & finally plucked […]

The only two box sets I’ve really got my money’s worth from are Good Vibrations 30 years of the Beach Boys and Citizen Steely Dan.
Yes, the albums get split up but 70 mins of Dan each time-I’m happy!

(I bough […]

That sounds as if you’ve got everything covered there.
Depending on how tech savvy your mum is, I would suggest unboxing & setting it up with her “So we both get to know how it works.” Also, find the best sound […]

The blogger (PJ) is also very good about reupping any of the older non yandex links

I’ve got an old iPad2 beside my bed, so it’s the less memory intensive things.
Sky News App (still just about runs, to get the headlines)
Facebook – to check up on friends, look at the Jesus of the Day & The Eye […]
