The problem is always Tel and Odebert, they are like boys in men's football. Also, what is a double pivot?

First I've heard of this too. Very big star when I was a nipper.

Turns out she's a wrong-un as well.

Oh, that's sweet....SWEET!

Brilliant, brilliant musician. And, quite oddly, related to the Royal Family (by marriage) which I can't get my head around.

Consider yourself fortunate.

"Democracy gets beaten to death in the dark" is such a perfect phrase. It describes exactly what is happening to us.

It's the Rapture (probably).

I don't know, Ann, sounds about right.

It's a tad busy outside the apartment this morning. #thames

As I'm sure everyone knows, the 16th Sept 1400 is the day that Owain Glyndwr declared himself 'Prince of Wales'. We visited the memorial to his daughter, Catrin, which is in St Swithin London Stone Church Garden just off Cannon Street. (BTW we are not Welsh, just seemed like a fun thing to do).

The Oval, yesterday, 16th September 2025. It was a bit chilly.

Not to mention (I'm Not Your ) Steppin' Stone, covered by Paul Revere, The Monkees, and the Sex Pistols (as well as The Paranoids, but that's another story).

I loved that place. I used to take the bus from Barnet to go there and stare at the guitars. Very happy memories.

Great to see this, he gets such an easy ride in the UK.

It only took 3 days to read the latest Poe and Tilly. I think it's MW Craven's best yet. Terrific read. Loved it.

It's 50 years since the Born To Run LP was released. The album cover on the right was taken off the wall display at the Hammersmith concert in 1975, the one on the left is our original copy. Just played it and it still sounds fresh and new.

Ever get the feeling we are being radicalised by the Establishment?

That's a very 1950s hairstyle you had in '96.

I believe she was.

Her TOTP appearance singing this was quite famous and eye-opening.

Seems fair.

How much were the tickets?

Can you expand on this, Chris? I'm not sure what you mean. Thanks.

I've had a pint with the painter in this boozer, how many people can say that? (Note to self: pitch 'Pint with the Painter' idea to Channel Four.)

Currently in Carlisle for eldest daughter's coronation as Alumni of the Year; just when you think you couldn't be any prouder.

Great reverb in this abandoned railway tunnel on the way to Keswick.

A lovely walk this afternoon on the old Keswick Railway Trail.

Local shops closing for lunch.

Just 16 and 17 years old. I wonder if they had an inkling of what lay ahead in 5/6 years?
