So, I find myself in a Slug and Lettuce, for what I thought would be a quick and quiet drink. How wrong I was! The average age must be about 13 and everyone is screeching at each other!
What has happened to high street pubs? I must be old.

Newly constructed buildings - regardless of whether they are residential, commercial, industrial, or business - should have solar panels installed on them by default, if it is safe for the building to have them.

Actors drinking from coffee cups should at least put some water in there or something. It's painfully obviously they are sipping from an empty cup and it always ruins the scene.

Strange choice of cover photos on a sixties CD. The 2 hippies with the painted faces are Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford from a 1973 festival where they performed with their band Skyco.

When Squeeze's Chris Difford submits lyrics to Glenn Tilbrook, does he suggest a musical direction? Did he know “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)” would be a rocker, “Labelled with Love” a country song? Difford explores their dynamic on the new Caropop. www.caropop.com/caropopcast/...

Déjà vu? "This Summer" was released as the first single from Ridiculous on this day in in 1995. (A slightly different 'remixed' version would be released almost exactly a year later!)

Saw the oft maligned Jools Holland tonight in Cheltenham. He brought Chris Difford out for a couple of Squeeze tracks and it was lush. Awful pic, you’ll have to trust me.

In truth, you could play any XTC or Dukes tracks and it would be sublime listening.

Hey all. For my last radio show on Sunday's @noiseboxradio.com, it'll be an XTC-special, so I'm looking for your top five Colin Moulding / Andy Partridge-penned tunes! You might get a little mention, too! Please repost/quote-post to help reach a wider audience!

What glorious weather we have had for the last few days and it looks set to continue. We must remember this time, for when it is really miserable later in the year. This may be our summer. 😎😉

Paul Heaton should have the title of Official National Treasure bestowed upon him. He would more than likely politely decline it but, all the same, we should recognise his work as a thoroughly lovely bloke.
