All music fans have bought records and been to concerts. But if you were asked who is your favourite ever band who would you pick ? I've got several to choose from like ACDC, Stones, Sabbath, Motorhead, Skynyrd, and others. But my number one has to be, Free. I never saw them live but have...

Watched an old edition of Flog It earlier today, the programme that gets people to sell stuff they no longer want. A woman had a large collection of Jimi Hendrix records, but brought along just one album, Axis : Bold As Love. Anyway it went to auction and sold for £150.00 so a good result. I...

Talking before and after the Plymouth game about the whole football experience on a match day. Did the group of fans I was with enjoy it more at Highfield Road than now at the Ricoh ? All but one said it was better at Highfield Road, and I too preferred it back then too. I still enjoy myself...

So Stokes has been cleared in court of affray. I thought he would get done for assault after watching the incident on TV. He did seem to go over the top, and looked like he wanted to do some damage. Is it because he is a "celebrity" that he's walked away not guilty ? I can't judge him seeing of...

Had to go to Walsgrave hospital this morning for a routine blood test, think when you get past the age of fifty you have to go even if you feel okay ? Full with people as usual but only waited half an hour so not long really. The nurse asked me if I was okay with needles ? Replied yes I'm fine...

We've all been to see our favourite bands and had a great time. But what about the concerts you've been to and you wish you'd never bothered ? Two gigs that come to mind are one in Leicester early 90's when me and my then missus went to see Ozzy Osbourne. He came on stage pissed up and late, and...

My sister is a nurse in a care home looking after dementia patients, I honestly don't know how she does it, but she loves her job. I too enjoy window cleaning and reckon its the best job going, but some people would dislike working outside in all weathers. I've got friends who work in factories...

A customer of mine has recently been burgled, took her car, money,valuables, laptop,phone, wiped her out. I've been burgled in the past so know how she feels, and when I was a kid our house got done and never caught the thieves. I reckon it's on the increase as I see the aftermath of this on my...

Just read that the Beano comic is celebrating it's birthday tomorrow, it'll be eighty years old. As a kid my favourite comics were the Valiant and the Eagle. But football magazines were my number one read, The Soccer Star was out weekly and had it delivered, collected hundreds of them. I'd cut...

Talking to a customer yesterday and she said she tries to get her 2 kids out of the house more, but they prefer staying indoors and playing on their computers and phones. I told her when I was a youngster I was the opposite as me and my mates were never in, too busy playing football, climbing...

I'm not a summer person I prefer cooler weather, but am getting used to this heatwave now. Getting up and starting work earlier, drinking water more when I'm out and about, and I've enjoyed the odd salad or two. I used to have a garden and an allotment years ago, so with us getting no rain I've...

A customer of mine asked me today if I thought a roofer had ripped her off for a job he'd done ? She's elderly in her 80's and wanted a few slates looking at on her roof, as she was worried rain would leak through in the winter etc. He put 4 new slates in and charged her £300.00 !! And she got...

Sometimes the start to records stand out more than the songs themselves. I've been listening again to Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf, and I love the opening to : You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. Brilliant start to a great track. I also like the start of ACDC's Whole Lotta Rosie, thumping...

Last night I was having a pint in town sat outside the pub. A bloke I hadn't seen around for a while walked past so I said how are you doing ? He looked depressed and different from what he used to be like, and he said he was living in a hostel, after losing his job and home. He never asked for...

Last night in the city centre the pubs were serving drinks in plastic glasses, and the two I went in were full of young girls and student types. They drink weird looking drinks of all sorts of colours, and a lot were more busy during the match looking at their phones than at the screens. To be...

On the radio last night they played Jet by Wings. The DJ said it was written about McCartney's pet dog. I never knew that I thought it was just a load of meaningless lyrics. Another record played recently was Pull Up To The Bumper by Grace Jones. The presenter said it was lucky to get past the...

With England doing so well in Russia and just a game/win away from a World Cup Final, I have to be honest I never thought they'd get this far. I was negative and said they'll let us down as usual, but I was wrong. But in a non football thread it got me thinking about negativity and positivity...

With Houch moving to Malvern near to the hills,it got me thinking where I'd like to live given the opportunity ? Lots of places I've visited come to mind, but if I had just the one choice it would be Aberdaron in North Wales. It's a seaside place but small and peaceful, with some great places to...

Colombia were dirty and aggressive last night and were in England's faces from the start, but I think the reason behind that was more than just football related. Remember that Colombian player who got murdered by Colombian gangsters/drug lords as he was seen as responsible for their World Cup...
