Brilliant. It would have been more brilliant as a review of Songs from the wood.

The whole world s going to to hell in a hand cart and the torygraph is lambasting you for saying killing wild animals for fun is a bad thing....Mr. Fox says we love you Chris and they are a bunch of pointless tw@ts.

I saw Simon interviewed at the weekend by @matthewbannister.bsky.social
Simon even after all these years is affected by mention of the crash would be an understatement. I do not blame you Matthew, as it is part of the FC timeline but it was hard to watch him getting emotional in a forum like that.

Three (the mobile company).
Send me their monthly bill with an email that looks like a scam.
I see more professional invoicing from one man band tradesmen.

Looks like we were sitting virtually in the same place in the hall Mark. A few of mine. I was on the middle end of the third row.

Yup they are awful.
They used to serve a loy.of people in our road. The cabinet used to fill with water and every time it rained we had an outage for days or weeks on end and they could not give a flying. We have all now gone to either community fibre or Openreach based services.

Played an assassin called Ramos in the professonals, ironic his most well known character was called Trigger. Sadly missed.

Yesterday's fun was the Indoor Folk Festival at Cecil Sharp House. Was an amazing day. Superb musicianship throughout. @lisaknappmusic.bsky.social and Gerry Diver pushed the boundaries of what is musically possible and Magpie Arc with amazing heavy folk rock closed the show.

I was today years old when I discovered a pick up truck based on the Vauxhall Chevette called (and I kid you not) the Grumett was producex for many years in Uruguay...

I have one of those.
I have not put power up it for years as I only use resonant antennas.
I should pass it on.
It was pretty bomb proof. Would comfortably take 400W+. Nicely engineered.

I bought Penelope the Herald (on my pinned post) from Clive when I was at the Beeb in the 80s. (I did not last there long). Vince worked in the control room for years. Round chap said it how it was!

Oh good grief, then you will also know Clive Bergman and probably also my mate Vince Holland who we lost in 2024.

We are in Eltham. I just mentioned you to my mate Jim Lee (of R4) and he thinks he might have known you at World Service years back?
