You were lucky! (Not a Python sketch ;) ). The only music in our house was played through a valve wireless (which had all the stations printed on the glass tuning scale, as they did) and that was always tuned to Sing Something Simple or similar. We didn't have a record player until I started...

Even after having slept on it, I'm not changing my mind. Very disappointing, but maybe it was a rogue can. Well in date though. It's put me off them anyway! Do try the DDH if you get chance though.

And I have precisely none! Not that I dislike them (I love many of their songs, and have a lot of Harrison and Lennon stuff), I just never liked an album in its entirety enough to buy one. I was always one of the Stones kids in the Stones/Beatles wars in the Longford Park school playground in...

Jersey added to Cov's pre-season fixture list. BPA, 13th Feb, 2pm ko. (BCD as expected). Edit: Now removed from the website, so it sounds like maybe someone jumped the gun?

Now onto that Jaipur DDA (double dry hopped 15th anniversary special). 5.9%. Glorious. Fruitier, yet hoppier, than the standard brew. Bitter, with a background sweetness. Try this!

Just had: A Moor Beer Company (Bristol) 'Revival Pale Bitter' 3.8%. Pish poor. No head, no aroma, very little flavour. Followed by a : Rascals Brewing Company (Inchicore, Ireland) 'Wunderbar IPA'. 6%. Much much better. Rather more lively without being gassy. Low esters, but a certain...

They were free anyway. Just like the tix. Please pay attention.

Don't think even they know tbf.

And... after a second-half comeback against one of the season's strugglers... Wasps lose at home again. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

I despair tbh. Cov were on Sky twice last season. Once on a free-to-view Sky channel (which seems the right way to do it). The second time, however, it was on a pay-to-view one. I haven't seen the viewing figures but can only imagine (and having spoken to many others at various other Champ...

Last time I was in Bedworth I saw Al Murray. Finished the place for me.

Trailblazers: Pub Rock is on Sky Arts again tonight (8pm). Worth a look. 10pm - Janis: Little Girl Blue. Then at 5am there's a South Bank Show repeat of 'Boogie Woogie'. Not sure I've seen it, so will set record just in case.

On the 'cheap/free money' for RU clubs - Championship clubs have only been offered loans. No grants. Loans need repaying. No income whatsoever at the moment. That's not 'cheap' money, and it's certainly not free.

Strong? As a cider (mainly) drinker myself, that's pretty average ;) Jaipur X is 10% btw, if you can hack it ;)

Ha. Don't get to see much of them since we moved, so no free samples! The brewery is David's, but Emma paid for it. She's the rich so and so ;) That's what comes of selling most of a very high profile business (about eight years ago) while still retaining a directorship in it.

This month's Beer52 Selection Box just turned up. Last month was all Melbourne/Victoria stuff. This month they've stayed mostly UK and Ireland, with a Californian thrown in for good measure. Always loved the standard cask Jaipur (biased, as we're friends of the couple who own Thornbridge Brewery...

Far-fetched but enjoyable. IMO.

Marcella is as loopy as ever. Pretty violent again, and quite heart-rending when the Downs brother is killed. One thing troubles me. How can you follow someone when you're driving a bright yellow Mustang, and not be spotted? Still, I'm enjoying the new series (watching episodes weekly rather...

No argument.

TBH, they're going to make a loss on it, but Cov and probably some others have decided to take the Sport England loan to tide them over for a while. Not ideal, and personally I'd rather they ditched the season and start again, hopefully with reasonable crowds, in September. Still, as I have my...
