Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingThanks for all your suggestions folks, Mr Fluffy Thing has now booked 4 nights at the Big Blue, but we had to go for a week later than we first intended! Suggestion book is now officially closed! [ more ]

El Lorohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b065rn7t It's a repeat from 2 years ago. The play by Keith Waterhouse was originally played by Peter O'Toole on stage and is available on DVD as a performance was filmed. There is a warning for strong language. Although it was broadcast in the afternoon, the watershed rules for television do not apply to radio provided that a warning is given. If it was given a BBFC certificate it would presumably get a 15 as the Peter O'Toole DVD does. [ more ]

Eugene's LairAh, well: only 1 right on the last 3, as I seriously underestimated the love in the Academy for "La La Land". Usually these movie awards ceremonies are very predictable with the favourites always winning. That was mostly the case tonight, but I was still really pleased to see both Dev Patel and "Kubo and the Two Strings" win. As for the other results: I'm still up on the night, so no worries. [ more ]

Eugene's LairI appreciate that the numbers involved are very small, but leaving aside exclusive releases, I can't understand why anyone nowadays would buy their music on cassette. If you really want to play it on retro equipment like a Walkman, buy it in another format and copy it over. One of my big regrets is that as a teenager I bought too much of my music on tape. My main music source was a "ghettoblaster" and I used to repair Walkmen as a hobby so it seemed a natural choice at the time, but with... [ more ]
Garage JoeMy initial thoughts......... 1. "Certainty and Clarity" (sic) 2. "Taking control of our own laws." They have control of their own laws! Traditionally our government have vetoed anything that operates to a worker's advantage. 3. "Strengthen the Union." As Professor R. Fairclough has said, " I think that ship has sailed love." (see also 4) 5. Only controls EU immigration. 7. "Worker's rights." Why all the sudden interest in worker's rights? Do we believe they'll reveal TU law, bring back... [ more ]

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingHaven't actually been in the local Morrisons for over a year. Partly because it doesn't sell as much of what I like as Tescos, but mainly because it is not on the route to/from work, so I'd actually have to go out of my way to go there. [ more ]
