Ivor Curtis

I see you're now in Japan. If I could visit any countries in the world, I'd choose Japan or South Korea. Unfortunately disability stops me. I hope you love it there!

Somewhere in the Midlands, wasn't it? I read a biography of him, by a guy called Dave Cartwright. It was very much a 'warts and all' read. He was a complex, very talented man.

Their very best, I think.

Thank you. Always loved Clifford T.

He was very much a one-off, I think. A troubled soul who made some special music.

I'm not really ranking the 00s songs so far. But when it comes to the Top 5 I definitely will be. And the Girls will be in it!

I really regret not seeing him.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

I'd forgotten about that album. I'll dig it out later and give it a listen. Rather good, I seem to remember. Thanks for the reminder!

It really was! I've never been very nationalistic. Deep inside I think I rather wanted Spain's fabulous team to win. Especially after all the appalling events after their World Cup win.
Keep it to yourself 😁

I already eat Shredded Wheat a lot. Which is pretty much like eating a straw hat!
