    That's another childhood icon gone. RIP Geoffrey from Rainbow.

      Apologies but Radio 3 is my venue and saves a lot of faffing.

      I'll be watching (and recording) Schiff playing Bach on BBC4 a week on Friday.

       

      It appeals to my sense of musical logic...

      Nick Cave has had enough. Now on to Tom Waits...

      RARE! MINT!

       

      But if its 7UP, then it wouldn't be as described...

    Suspects that his right to be forgotten by certain companies will itself be conveniently forgotten by said companies over the coming weeks...despite their recent constant nagging for me to agree for them to remember me.

      I cant help but think that this legislation will only send the (annoying) emailers abroad as I, like you lot, have only been asked to re-new by UK based websites. The foreign ones are carrying on regardless and thus will win over uk based spammers. Net result - we all actually "lose" control!

    Farewell 17:49 London Bridge to Bognor train. At least three farewell parties on the train!

      The correct Royal response for such an auspicious day would be "Bu##er Bognor"!

    Axle-breaking potholes on the M6 in the roadworks to 'upgrade' to a 'Smart Motorway'. Nice to see someone has got their priorities right!

      The upgrade includes full resurfacing to give a 6 year maintenance free window as a reward to customers. Patch repairs will be the responsibility of Kier as the main contractor during the road works. You can email Highways England to register your displeasure.

      According to Beatrice Groves, Shakespeare's use of religious language is heavily influenced by his youthful visits to the Coventry Mystery Plays.
