What's The Weather Like?
Back to cold and dank in London, and I've just discovered that the house is outside the "Totally Submerged if the Thames Barrier Fails Zone". Not by much, but enough. Even better news is that the hated office is within the Zone. T…

Pet stuff

I am easily wrong, but don't files only go to Recycle Bin Heaven if they were on the C:\ drive? You can recover mp3s deleted from the recycle bin with the freeware Recuva (try cnet for the latest version) - I've used it to recover mp3s w…

French radio shows - 7 Nov 2013 & 30 Nov 2013
Thanks to all for the finds but oh, my ears, my ears. I know Alison pauses quite a lot while she speaks, but I couldn't help thinking she was distracted by Ze Translateur. Yes, wrong a way round I know.

OOOH new Matalan ;) Unsolved mystery: why does she always cling on to the handbag like it's the source of her superpowers or something?

Thanks Hells -- we hadn't seen it. I mean, you know us: do we LOOK like we read Vogue? Good piece, I did smile at one thing in the photo: here is Ultra Fashionista! mode and world, and yep, then there are the trashed fingernails of a string…

Dodgy question asked on there too. Just wait and see. I think. Eww (a bit) ... ... and yet... The main work on the forum/board is done by people who've been running non-creepy tumblrs for a while - if it's not the same online IDs it&#…

I thought he performed OK - not more, not less - on the occasion but has clearly not settled in yet, So that's not a bad position to be in after a couple of weeks in these circs. No idea who he is or who he's worked with before. Impassio…

Maida Vale session - BBC 6Music - 15 Oct 2013
I caught some of this on Red Button and will track down the rest post-hol: very envious of those who got tickets. Another big wow from me (just based on the fragment I saw. ) Wow.

A real shame Dan the drummer's leaving - he is good, not only on record but live. Four weeks before the tour - I'm guessing she has somebody lined up already, just from the business point of view. There's supposed to some radio inte…
