Never had him as a teacher, but still couldn't avoid knowing his presence and reputation in the school. Could often hear him two classes down the corridor! In sixth form, through a mutual friend of his son in the year above me, I ended up at his beautiful house on a bike ride around Strangford Lough

Here's an Internet Archive capture of my site from August 2000, sadly no pictures, just text. It was good career development. I learned HTML specifically to make this page and ended up working on web development projects in my University job for several years.

I used this family tree as a reference for creating my long-defunct Fall Line-Ups web page around 1996. Later it was mentioned in the sleeve notes of Stewart Lee's '90s Fall compilation, A Past Gone Mad. So I got my name on a Fall album. Spelt wrong, but still, my name's on a Fall album.

Bertrand Belin sings (croons) so slowly that my standard of grade B O'Level French can actually pick out bits of his lyrics

That was such a beautiful evening with Edwyn Collins at the Royal Festival Hall. Will share some more pics and vids tomorrow, but here's one of Paul Cook, Edwyn, Dennis Bovell and Vic Godard at the end of the show

Valedictory (with several special guests) but vital night of tunes that saved our lives with Edwyn Collins at Royal Festival Hall. Wealth of Orange Juice classics, Collins’ croon as rich as ever & impish humour still intact. Wonderfully, James Kirk joined Edwyn for encore of ‘Felicity’ & ‘Blue Boy’

The first episode of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' was shown on BBC1 on this day in 1969.

The "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album cover, except there are no Beatles, just a wide selection of the various characters, incarnations, props and animations from the Monty Python team, covering the period 1969-1983.

Simply Thrilled, Honey!
