Even at the age of 7, Junior Showtime was an absolute last resort if there was nothing on the BBC, it was pissing down outside, no homework to do and you’d read The Beano. And even then, after a dose of Glyn Poole and Bobby Bennett, it would take all weekend to feel clean again.

Up The Runaways.

Standard by Shiremoor.

Standard by St James.

But where is Kerr on the Fowler Scale (ere long the gold standard of schlongitude)?

And as The Mekons helpfully informed us in “Ghosts of American Astronauts”, up in the hills above Bradford there’s even a napalm factory.

I need team BC. We are in the last 24 hours. All acts ahead of me in the charts are mega-superstars but we're hanging right there. Unfortunately this stuff is important for a continued career albeit a bit icky to bring up. Get Cd or Vinyl today. Every album counts. BC xx ffm.to/asoberconver...

Did they phone the police? I mean, surely it’s the Barugh secret distress code.

It’s the microphony de nos jours.

People who aren’t psychopaths also soon realise that, once you have personal security and comfort, accumulating chattels brings much less happiness than using the (spending) power to make good things happen to/for others.

Never the same after it went solo.

When our beloved Gus was hit by a car in 2022, he was cared for in his final moments by Dalehead Vets in Settle. He was returned to us wrapped in one of their blankets for burial and a few days later a lovely sympathy card came in the post. No charge, even though we offered.

It’s the gift that keeps on taking.

Michael Wisher? (I know he was resurrected but that was as David Gooderson so probably still counts).

Jackie Pearce is a notoriously poor replier these days.

Must be a hint that you’ve not played much Cliff “Ukulele Ike” Edwards tracks of late.

Hello Bluesky.The world of music changes next Tuesday. Hyperbole? We shall see.

Please put your email here to get the news before I put on public socials. You'll also get an opportunity to secure something first before it sells out

Bugger. The Curse of Barfe claims another victim. Sad news old bean.

Pretty much my life’s work this. And it’s crash landing pretty soon! I am beyond excited!!

The main thing is, obviously, don’t laugh too strenuously. Better dig out the emergency Romany Jones stash.

Not until you’ve broken out the “Don’t Drink the Water” episodes, chum.
