Stripped down - almost like something from the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album - John singing Girl with just his acoustic guitar accompaniment highlights one of his best vocal performances

It took me years to get this space as cluttered as this.
When there’s nothing else to do, sit on the floor, put The Beatles’ Mono Masters on and luxuriate in your library space.

Having attended 'a few' pub quizzes over a number of tears, and having written and ran them during student days, this properly irks me.

It's a pub quiz. It's FUN, and should be kept as such in the spirit of a social event. Yes, a competitive edge is nice, but DON'T BLOODY CHEAT.

Massive whodunnit. Im guessing it's the team that keeps winning and has stopped turning up.

Just watched 60 Years of Thunderbirds, a series of short interviews by Scarlett Moffatt with people associated with Gerry Anderson. She’s a typical celebrity airhead, but was actually quite engaging as she had grown up watching Thunderbirds when it was shown in the early 90s. Knows her stuff.

I’m finally retiring next month. Been reflecting on a career lasting 47 years, the last 18 running my own training business. I’ve never been one for working long stressful hours and have been really lucky to get by with some terrific, loyal customers, associates and friends along the way.

RIP June Lockhart. ❤️🙏🏻 Loved Lost In Space. As corny as they come, but great escapism for kids in the 60s.

His next question is on Nov 12

It’s taken an entire day, but I have a lovely new blog post up, a little wander through Shrewsbury, highlighting some of the history and background to just a few of the centuries old buildings. Any historical mistakes my own!
