Seventh Tree 10 year Anniversary
I have trouble with Caravan Girl and as we know from the days of Softlad, the Devil kills a kitten every time Happiness is played. Those two aside, great album. I am considering Some People as a funeral song. (Never did start that thread). Intereste…

The Cure's 40th universary concert. Guess who are invited
Never been a big fan of seeing Frapp at festivals or multi band gigs like this. I love seeing the Frapp (21 so far) but these cut down, short set events are not them at their best. We are usually in France around that time anyway, so not planning to…

Recent and upcoming gigs
Tonight at the Greenwich O2, Queen and Adam Lambert. Last time I saw Queen was the 9th August 1986 at Knebworth. Freddie Mercury's last gig. Not quite as long as Black Sabbath earlier in the year (1978 - 2017) but pretty long! Last gig of the …

Give A Hoot, Read A Book.
Trouble with Shakespeare if you are my age is it was taught to you in senior school. At that age, it's a bit of a drudge and it puts a lot of kids off for life as they see it as stuffy. With age, you discover his works are full of more sex, vio…

After seeing Curtis Stigers on Sunday, I was rather taken with this song he wrote with David Poe; a song of social inclusion and of co-operation between all people irrespective of race, colour or creed, sexual orientation etc. A counterpoint to our …

Only the most famous jazz club in the world Serenity. Ronnie Scott was a jazz saxophonist of great repute in the 50's, and in 1959, he opened this club in Frith Street in the centre of Soho. Been going strong ever since. It's a typical Soh…

Very rural between Colchester and Harwich in Essex. Clacton about 9 miles away. We had snow on Sunday, our first major snow for about 5 years. Several roads blocked, mainly by cars and lorries that had gone off the road. We had an appointment in Lon…

You can only use the emojis provided by the site Kat, top right at the end of the banner. We'll have no non local emojis here! Good news to both you and Serenity on the job front. Enjoying my retirement at the moment. Never been so busy!

We are always told using boiling water scalds the beans, which makes the brew taste bitter and burnt, so that's why you use water at 92 degrees. Interesting. Will give it a try.

At Bletchley, Mum had a best friend called Jose Nightingale, who was a couple of years her senior (so a heady 22). Only difference between them was Jose was married. Last year, Bletchley came up with the idea of rebuilding one of the blast walls tha…

Thank you Serenity. We knew nothing about her time at Bletchley until the mid 70's. The site and its function was top secret during the war and people that worked there had to sign the official secrets act. My Mum said she had to do this at lea…

Obviously, Paige will hold out her hand and say 'Toupee' just as the flames form and the ground opens up around his feet. Hopefully, Kim Jong Un will be waiting for him and they can man baby wrestle for eternity, Women in Love style.

I think the 'Go fuck Yourself' interpretation is based on a sarcastic slant and use of the phrase, which is widely accepted to be positive. We also use the phrase 'Bully for you' in exactly the same way.

Thank you. Slowly resolving everything. Finances were pretty straight forward as she had no property and there are only two children, me and an older Sister. Even her coffin was unusual. Do you know how boring coffins are? Different wood, either so…
