1. He thinks that I’m a cabbage, Because I hate University Challenge. My Perfect Cousin - Undertones

Wankers, the lot of them.

Bloody Hell. If any track ever deserved to be watched in respectful silence it’s this. That’s horrible to see.

Good luck with these - excellent stuff. London to Brighton should be fine on your G-Ones - in fact I think the gains you’ll get from switching to slicks will be marginal at best. Thee gear ratio on the Gestalt is excellent, wide enough that it shouldn’t affect you negatively on climbs (of...

I work the Saturday evening shift…hoping that my ‘controller’ allows me and Mrs Mahone to start late. I really don’t want to miss Pulp.

Indeed. I wondered how long it would take SecretGlasto to spill the beans…

Yes, a totally unexpected end to what was intended to be a sprinters stage. Vingegaard attacking and being followed by the usual suspects destroyed the plans of all the teams that had been fighting for position. It is getting utterly ridiculous that Pogacar is now even winning stages like...

I picked my copy of this up from Resident yesterday. Great to have new music from Pulp, absolute national treasures.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, they say. Last year’s Songs of a Lost World by The Cure was a brilliant album. Next week Mixes of a Lost World is being released, and the tracks I have heard so far suggest it’s going to be absolutely wonderful. Here are a couple: Looking forward to this...

We had five, and could happily have stayed longer. There was also an island on the Danube accessible by bus which was a good place to chill, and full of interesting history (and a zoo).

Well, there you have it. Some people like Queen, some don’t. Some people like Joy Division, some don’t. It’s almost as if music taste is a subjective thing.

We were there in November last year. It’s a magical place. Stay in Pest, we were close to the Parliament building - a great area to stay. Visit the Ruin Bars in the Jewish Quarter - great atmosphere and some superb food options. Mazel Tov is excellent, but gets booked up early. Explore Buda...

If that makes Fontaines British, they are definitely in my list (which I haven’t shared). That rule also makes Freddie Mercury Tanzanian, so those banging on about Queen need to button it.

When Pat Nevin was still playing, and was ‘coming out’ as different, and substantially cooler than your average footballer, he did an interview (I think with the NME) in which he said his favourite band was Joy Division. The Sun printed the interview, almost verbatim. However, they claimed he...

First time I have heard this - thank you. So pleased.
