Brian Eno: OK let’s take a look at the first card and see what unexpected creative directions it sends us in. It says “Beer, offal, cocaine for the weekend”.
David Bowie: Oh no, I think that’s just the shopping list, Brian.

PGA chief to apologise to McIlroy family over Ryder Cup abuse www.bbc.com/sport/golf/a...

Based on Sprague’s previous comments on the US crowds’ behaviour, I think we can guess what the this apology will sound like!

And Adam Buxton could recreate the role of Zavid as the narrator.

Sounds like ‘On the run’ from Dark Side of the Moon. Good work, young sir! 🌒

Great interview. Lord Davies makes some excellent salient points. Weening people of the idea that they have an incontrovertible right to pass on untouched pensions free of IHT is going to cause some squealing!

Loved listening to this and heartened to hear Brian Appleton might be persuaded back to clear up some more of the greatest controversies in the history of rock.

I've been researching the history of my local area of Norwich and found this piece about an old theatre which seems to have been written by Alan Partridge himself. 🤔

Since this refers to members new to receiving a pension, I infer it only relates to those choosing drawdown, regular UFPLS or annuity payments. I Full extinguishing UFPLS customers will surely continue on the Emergency Tax basis since most providers don't hold any tax codes for that cohort?
