A quarter pound of humbugs and a big computer please

Back to that old thing then. Have to make sure each blog title is different or the whole system goes crazy! As you might have noticed, we had two goes at it again yesterday as my 'Tough Guy' title was the same as the one I used for Lee Child's appearance back in September last year. We need a new super computer like the Met Office is getting, just to publish whatever nonsense I might write on a daily basis regardless of title. Why even have a title? Maybe it should just be OCTOBER 28 2014 and that should be all fine. Boring but fine. We should invest in a big IT program. Oh wait...

Hope you enjoyed Ray Winstone last night-nice guy! And still a little scary! Tomorrow we have the other Winston-Churchill this time-with Boris Johnson telling the stories. Today it's a TUNESDAY with lovely long songs after 6. Occasional treats, rarely heard epics, songs that don't fit the format-we'll play them all (well, a few).

And elsewhere, songs for SUPER ACCURATE WEATHER FORECASTING brought about by the aforementioned Met Office super computer. It's costing £97 million and will be one of the most powerful in the world (until next year's phone beats it). There will be more detail, greater accuracy and better excuses when it all goes wrong. Take it away choonchasers!
