Have to confess to giggling when I read in a list of trivia that Reg Varney was the first person to use ATM.
Sad to hear about Kevin Keegan. Fondly remembering the time he spoke for many of us...
Not sure i'd go with this line if Iooked like the guy from 'The Hills Have Eyes'
Could it be time for the mighty Pat "other racist parties" Mountain to make a comeback?
I'm sure our Americam friends won't be lacking inspiration, but just in case, they might want to see how we "honoured" the statue of Margaret Thatcher that they put up in her home town.
Amongst stiff competition, she was one of the most repellent, hateful public figures of my lifetime. Fitting that she spent much of her final years with said competition.
As a bonus, perhaps he could announce that Pat "other racist parties" Mountain is being appointed as Reform leader with immediate effect?
Wonderful, eerie picture of one of my favourite cities. Here's a picture I took there a few years back, nowhere near as good but still captures the moodiness.
I have a simple test really - until some prominent UK politicians are prepared to don a Thatcher style Euro jumper and publicly make a rational, positive case for joining (rather than platitudes like "seeking improved relations"), then the UK will not rejoin.
Hope he listens and enacts this. Also, good to see the old Catchphrase set being recycled.
Not heard Marriner's Roman Trilogy before, the restrained approach is great for a hot, sultry day like this.
Back when you could pick up vinyl records for 50p in Charity Shops, it was always picking up some of those Phase4 Stereo records (or the EMI Studio2Stereo equivalents), there was nearly always something worth hearing on them.
There's a blast from the past. Personally I'm hoping for a comeback by Pat "other racist parties" Mountain.
I love the way this sort of nonsense is happening at the same time that most PCs ship with very mean amounts of storage and they are trying to push more and more subscriptions to cloud storage.
Kraftwerk tonight in Liverpool. As mesmerising and vital as ever, 50 or so years on.
