Obviously I am far too old to be listening to BBC Radio 1, but my dearest wife insists on listening to the public service broadcaster in her car. Perhaps as the DJs are so many years younger than me, I have little in common with them and their discussions but on the drive home this […]
If Music Be The Food Of Love
Never thought I would be quoting Shakespeare on my blog, but with the burden of requiring a fresh title for each post, comes the need to borrow from our greatest Word-smith. Using the date as the post title, is so 1998. Towards the back end of 2015, as I jump in the car to drive […]
Doctor Hollywood
The saying is often repeated, do not meet your heroes, for they will always let you down. They will never live up to the high expectations you had in your mind. In modern times, with platforms such as Twitter, our celebrity and sporting heroes are only a short 140 character message away. This is not […]
Experimenting
As you may have noticed, decided to install a new theme onto my WordPress site this Sunday afternoon and have spent the last few hours, tinkering with the colours, formats and layout to try and achieve my goal. Ultimately if somebody has taken the time to find my personal blog, they need to be able […]
Holiday Mode Shopping Music
H&M has become the perfect retail destination prior to any holiday. To be honest, before I met Michelle I never considered the clothes they produced, although it was and continues to be a regular haunt for three of my sisters. However this post is not about the good quality clothes produced by the retailer, instead […]
It’s All Glee To Me
Let me set the record straight once and for all – Glee has always been about the music! We have cared little for the characters and the outrageous plot lines or the person irritating cheerio coach (and later principal) Sue Sylvester in that particular week’s episode. Having just watched the two hour finale, to not […]
Expert In The BBC
What do you think of when you hear those three letters? The BBC – The British Broadcasting Corporation. It does seem to conjure up images of the 1950s with men in their stiff suits and ties with a stuffy presence of the old boys club in charge of a public service broadcaster not only for […]
The Hippest Man In Cabinet
Long story but I would prefer to spare you all the details. I ended up working until gone 11pm in the office on Wednesday night. By the time I got home and started to heat up my food in the microwave, I caught the close of BBC Newsnight. This fabulous mashup video, was used as […]
No Air
Driving home from Wycombe to Slough on Thursday 23rd October, around 9pm, the night sky was lit up with fireworks for Diwali. Travelling down the A404 (M), I was listening to Capital FM and a female caller, requested Wait On Me by Rixton. Having not heard this before, I thought it best to at least […]
The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery
Feel I have been disconnected in recent weeks until my brother-in-law Steve streamed this video on his TV this afternoon. #PatelWilliams now that is just pure genius! Well done to Ali for another fantastic performance!
