Beetroot.

It was ‘orrible at school because they soaked them in vinegar. Recently, I ate beetroot without vinegar for the first time in over forty years and really enjoyed it. Damn you dinnerladies !

I’ve pledged. It’s great all these odd rock docs are being made outside of BBC4 eg:- Being Frank, This Is Pop, King Rocker…

Ian Dury & The Blockheads? They bashed out a version of Peter Gunn which was an outtake bunged onto the Laughter reissue double CD. I’ve saw them many times and don’t recall any covers. I suppose it was because […]

This is my local cinema in Holloway. Even if you’re not from this manor, it.s still a great sketch to enjoy.
