I’m staying in a hotel in Exeter tonight.
Well, it bills itself as a hotel but, to be honest, a more accurate description would be “a collection of sheds just off the A38”.
Glamorous, it is not.

Told a work colleague that I’d left a work WhatsApp group a few days ago, because it was no longer relevant to me, and she said that she’d noticed but thought I was just having a tantrum.

From Middle Class Revolt, 1994
One of those songs which passed me by at the time, but which has really grown on me down the years.

Does anybody really pay £34.99 for a blue vinyl copy of the Buckingham Nicks album from several decades ago?
That’s at least £10 more than I’m prepared to pay.

Every LinkedIn notification starts with the phrase “you may be interested in”, and I am never interested in hearing what some egotistical prick has got to say about their latest tedious career move.
So you’ve got a fabulous new job, more money and great colleagues? Good. Keep it to yourself.

We go down the M6 to the Midlands, to meet Dexys Midnight Runners.
The b side to Liars A to E, the 1981 7” which attacked the music press, was this fabulous instrumental with an equally fantastic title.

I’m not a big Eurythmics fan but I have a very specific and happy memory associated with this song, which means I’ll always think very fondly of it.

Extricate
Title track of the 1990 album, the first one not to feature Brix since 1982’s Room to Live. Also saw the return of Martin Bramah, but solely for this album.
It’s quite a strange, confused and confusing album. Not one of my favourites, to be honest.

Looking forward to watching England play away in Albania later this afternoon. Hope England can go through the entire qualifying campaign without conceding a goal!
I remember when England played in Albania in 1989, it was VERY different. Albania was still closed-off at the time.
