Bravo! You now have SIXTEEN traffic signs at the little corner of rarely busy Langdon Way and St Johns Park Road - with another 8 just yards away!
Congrats guys! They said it couldn't be done.
Always thinking of the environment eh?

That's it, isn't it? That last verse. Nothing sadder ever penned in pop music.

Cass Elliot - Alone Again (Naturally) (The Julie Andrews Hour, 01.11.1972) YouTube video by Cass Elliot

The sublime voice of Cass Elliot with one of the greatest, most melancholy pop songs ever written.

Behind The Scenes With Danny Baker | TFI Friday YouTube video by TFI Friday Official

30 years ago (Easter shifts) - Chris got the idea that nobody wanted to come out on a bank holiday so we should just do a show from his house. So that's what we did.
I explained it for the watching audience.

If ever I played Pro Celeb Interaction Poker I simply cannot be beaten.
I have met:
All FOUR Beatles
Muhammed Ali
David Bowie
Michael Jackson

There's my opening hand.

Extra Strong Mints - Theve got to be strong to be good 1978 YouTube video by advertarchive

Just discovered Sheila Bernette died earlier this year. A fantastic comic actor.
Here, over a decade before the scene in Harry Met Sally, giving Meg Ryan the roadmap.

Look at this bullshit.
This is what football supporters have been cowed into accepting in their game by television.
Fuck off television. And every single vampire creep who is an apologist for this nonsense

VAR is no good. It's just not.
It doesn't need tweaking or resetting - it's just no good for football.
Referees make bad errors every now and but so does this billion pound tech overlord bullshit.
What have we gained? Nothing.
What have we lost? Live football.

I think somebody in his inner circle should tell Paul McCartney that he really doesn't have to finish his live sets with Hey Jude any more. Or even include it all.
It's a chore of a song these days.
Try "Your Mother Should Know" "She's A Woman" or "Silly Love Songs".
Yes!

Jackson Browne - Werewolves Of London (1975) YouTube video by Rare Musicman

Warren Zevon wrote "Werewolves Of London" as a joke for his friends to hear.
Jackson Browne would play it in his live shows years before WZ recorded it in '77.

Settling into a new house.
Tonight our dogs, TinTin and Bear, just started going barmy for no apparent reason.
Then we saw the apparent reason. #Neighbours

10cc - "The Dean & I" Recording Process (November 17, 1975) YouTube video by CLASSIC TRASH

10cc's "The Dean & I" is one of the greatest pop singles of my lifetime.
This has just surfaced.
Them actually making it.

Reading the latest volume of Alan Bennett's Diaries: "Enough Said".
Have to say, wasn't prepared for this entry in March 2017 where AB sees a drug deal taking place on the street outside his window.

First Men in the Moon (1964) Trailer | Edward Judd, Martha Hyer, Lionel Jeffries Movie YouTube video by Movie Trailers

Saw this at the Astoria Old Kent Road when I was seven. I was AGOG.
It still holds a strange power over me that only the films you saw when you were young can.
This was my Star Wars.

"Elite" football sides winning any league or cup now are a bit like music artists who have number one records these days.

People can just point back to the 70s/80s/90s and point out when it actually meant something.

Mum. 1950s - 1990s.

100% - and both signed by Steve.

They totally are. Still neglected in the 70s story for unfathomable reasons.

52 years ago today Cockney Rebel recorded the song, Psychomodo.
There can be little doubt Morrissey took note of Steve Harley's lyrical style.
(NB: Harley had previously penned the song "My Only Vice Is The Fantastic Prices I Charge For Being Eaten Alive" which couldn't be more Moz)

William Tell Overture on my teeth. Elevated many a gathering whipping that out.

Zappa was a humourless grudging fucker (shock horror) but we did turn up fantastically pissed to meet him.

Ferry. He's like interviewing Prince Charles (aka The King). Eases you through it then leaves you with very little. There HAS to be more but perhaps Manzanera is better equipped to tell the tale.

When I see these posts trying to claim who was the better Beatle out of John and Paul I'm reminded of that scene in Annie Hall where the parents would argue over anything:
"Wait a minute. Are you telling me the Atlantic is a better ocean than the Pacific?"

We moved.
We have now been in our new house 3 weeks and the chaos is calming down.
Therefore tonight I will be in my candle lit office, drinking fine wines and playing great records from the 1970s.
If I were younger I would live stream the vibe.
