It’s not very often I get hooked on TV series, but really enjoyed All Her Fault on
Sky Atlantic. Great thriller with lots of twists and turns. Highly recommended.

Lots of moaning on my timeline about the World Cup draw. It was always going to be a circus with that vile orange tw*t running the show, so why give it oxygen? Not in our house. ((CLICK))

My son has a n older listening age of 68! 😳 I think mine is slightly skewed by more regular listens to my late 70s and early 80s playlists, although my heart will always be with The Beatles and early 70s rock.

Great afternoon supping Black Country ales in Stourbridge with a former work colleague and mentor. Probably best if I don’t share what I wish on the “trespassers” on the line resulting in the cancellation of trains home. 😡

Stripped down - almost like something from the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album - John singing Girl with just his acoustic guitar accompaniment highlights one of his best vocal performances

It took me years to get this space as cluttered as this.
When there’s nothing else to do, sit on the floor, put The Beatles’ Mono Masters on and luxuriate in your library space.

Having attended 'a few' pub quizzes over a number of tears, and having written and ran them during student days, this properly irks me.

It's a pub quiz. It's FUN, and should be kept as such in the spirit of a social event. Yes, a competitive edge is nice, but DON'T BLOODY CHEAT.

Massive whodunnit. Im guessing it's the team that keeps winning and has stopped turning up.

Just watched 60 Years of Thunderbirds, a series of short interviews by Scarlett Moffatt with people associated with Gerry Anderson. She’s a typical celebrity airhead, but was actually quite engaging as she had grown up watching Thunderbirds when it was shown in the early 90s. Knows her stuff.

I’m finally retiring next month. Been reflecting on a career lasting 47 years, the last 18 running my own training business. I’ve never been one for working long stressful hours and have been really lucky to get by with some terrific, loyal customers, associates and friends along the way.
