Still waiting for the Great Leap Forward. Music is my main love. Well music, food, the dog, photography, whisky….did I mention food?

Is that the Nova version? I’ll have to see what the extra functions are above the HG01. Cheers

I’m a big fan of his Guitar Graffiti album, especially Time Warp.

Oooh I suspect I am doing it wrong. I’ll seek out the audio book and have a listen. If we ever meet, I’ll tell you about the time my daughter publicly shamed me in a supermarket over my pronunciation of a particular word…

Silent Sherlock: Three Classic Cases review – on the hunt with Holmes in restored 1920s mysteries From stealing a photo for the King of Bohemia to battling the Napoleon of crime on a clifftop, Holmes is witty and watchable in these early Conan Doyle-approved dramas

These restored Sherlock Holmes films look really interesting, though I’ll probably have to wait for them to be available to stream as I don’t live near any arty cinemas. Love a bit of Sherlock…

Yeah, I think he was doing his own stunts on the sea scooter thing, and floating about in his bouyancy suit.

Just wonderful. One of my favourite albums. I guess that has the various different mixes on it?

Pondering whether to leave the house to buy a 20cm cake tin or just make do with a 16cm one.

Wait….a member of King Crimson wrote Bucks Fizz’s biggest song?

Sometime in the late 70s I heard a production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead on the radio. It was a lightbulb moment for me…and the light still shines. RIP Tom Stoppard.

Thanks for the reminder! I’ll stop off when I go to Wickes later 😀

Sad to hear that quintessential actor Jack Shepherd has died. It was great to see him recently in one of his major roles as Renfield in Dracula, to character roles in Budgie, Crown Court and countless other films and TV, his talent shone through. Rest in peace dear Jack.

Afraid that Mike Oldfield is probably a given top spot for me. Unless I change my mind.

One of my favourite films. I must have been around 11 or 12 when I first saw it, the local ITV channel had a Friday night Appointment with Fear slot.

I’m just having a quick comfort break at the halfway point in it now. Gosh.

I keep checking the AXS app, it’s painful being kept holding for nearly ten minutes to be told there are no tickets available.

I still keep checking in case any Radiohead tickets go up for sale…though I am probably just going to give up at this point..it’s too cold to leave the house anyway!

One of my favourite albums. Not sure if I prefer the Boxed mix to the original. I need to get one of those smart cleaners and tackle my back catalogue though!!!

Oddly I was playing this just earlier, it’s a cracking record…here’s an interesting article on the history of *that* rhythm..I was obsessed with Ring the Alarm for a while in the 80s, I have a 12” somewhere of it I picked up in Smelly Alley in years gone by.

I stumbled across this and thought of you…it’s basically a cover version of Paranoid but with the lyrics changed to tell the story of Hound of the Baskervilles. Warning: video contains scary dog…🤣
