Cheeky sod. Actually, rather than being ‘asked if we would mind’ it was rather more politely suggested that if we felt we wanted to wait to see if there was an adverse immediate reaction, would we mind doing it […]

@arthur-cowslip Have you booked your second jab yet? You’ll need to ensure that you get the same vaccine the second time – you really do need to have the card with the type and batch number info on it. You will […]

We both got the Oxford/AstraZeneca, and we were asked if we would mind waiting in the designated departure area for 15 minutes before driving off, so I don’t think the ‘wait? yes/no’ choice is quite that definitive.

At the Fox Mansion, we’re in the ONS survey, our address having been randomly selected. A tester comes to the house each time with a questionnaire (the usual things you’d expect to be asked*) and some tests that […]

I certainly don’t love that. It’s almost parodically Bowie, but by Bowie.
I jumped the good ship DB after ‘Lets Dance’ (great album), and apart from the Buddah album (which is also ace) I don’t think I ever […]

Yes, there’s an inevitable element of making-it-up-as-we-go-along still detectable, but even then it’s an absolute logistical triumph.
We booked our first jabs at the vaccination centre in a huge marquee at […]

I’m afraid I might have been a tad less diplomatic if I’d been in your shoes.

Yes, he paid DB a glowing and emotional tribute when we saw him play these things live a year or two back.

I wondered if that might be the case – the phrase ‘moods for moderns’ has a much older origination that the EC song, so it was possible that this was just another nod of the hat to that source.

The Foxes both got stabbed in the arm yesterday afternoon by a very nice NHS nurse wielding a vaccination in a syringe. We got our first doses of the Oxford/AstraZenica version.
The whole process was incredibly […] -

Enough mentions of Reg from Pinner – it’s one of Rick Wakeman’s high points as a session musician. He still plays these songs when he does a solo piano tour, and usually extemporises on top of what you’ve heard […]

I thought that looked wrong.
I’m blaming the vaccine after effects for my spelling dunceness.
Anyway – it sounds bloody great doesn’t it?

I’m well over 30, so obviously my festy days are over.
But I’ve filled it in anyway, as I’m also in the 15+ category (i.e. hardened fester)

I think the Venn diagram of ‘Macron’ and ‘liberals’ is pretty much two separate sets, with only a teensy smidgen of asymptotic adjacency perhaps.
