  1. Back in your own world

    Here we go then, another early start finds me writing this on the sumptuous underground trains that they have down in that there London. We are cheek by jowl, our free newspapers thrust everywhere consistent with reading and human dignity. Some Mexican band are busking their way down the carriag...

  2. I wonder how your engines feel

    Well very pleased the way that all went. It's fair to say that Ricky and Lorraine from Deacon Blue went down a storm last night. So many fans over such a long time. Many late-80s albums don't stand the test of time too well but Raintown certainly does and Dignity is still a showstopper.

  3. Moorings and docks, tailors and locks

    And good morning to you too. An early morning trip to the dentist to liven my morning! How good it will be to see that chair again, use that mouthwash and feel those metal hooks and scrapers do their work. All doing good work of course and I won't be thinking of Marathon Man at all. Not once...

  7. Grow apple trees and honey bees

    Another bright and early one today, off to talk to Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig about the latest Despicable Me movie. Although the Underground will be stinky, early morning is the best time when those temps have hit 34. People are still fragrant and well washed, still on their first shirt. Anyw...

  8. People say she's crazy

    Longest day, maximum daylight so let's hope it's a good one. With that in mind, I'm off early for a chat with Kevin Spacey. It seemed the decent thing to do seeing as he's gone and made a film. He can't just be left sitting in a room by himself now can he? It's a good film too-Baby Driver ...

  10. If everybody had an ocean

    Oh there's another flying ant. How lovely. I'll add it to the pile of other assorted wildlife that has flown our way. Happy Monday to you all. Windows open? Sweaty night? Three showers a day? High summer is here and grown men are wearing shorts to work. This is acceptable in the under 40s only, ...
