This is about how good I am on the guitar now

I can't decide if this is brilliant, or if he's doing all the complex stuff with his vocals. Entertaining anyway, if a bit long. Enough about the song, this performance is good too:(Hmm not sure I can embed, here it is).I first saw him doing Teardrop...

Do you mean Roger De Haan?

Nice points though. I don't remember the Queens Hotel or the Pavillion, but I'm aware lovely old buildings have been lost.

I'm actually quite keen on the Burstin.

RE: Poor Jimmy Godden

I am so pleased that someone is concerned about Mr Godden's spate of bad luck, I am sure that Jimmy will appreciate this community spirit - after all Mr Godden has always had the towns' best interests at heart. It is good to know that there is one de...

Queen BACK!

We're not going to this, nor going to get the album I wouldn't have thought. Went to see "Queen" before with Paul Rodgers, and it was good to hear some of the tunes live, but it's probably best just to leave it. Also Brian May seems like a bit of a m...

A couple of modern affordable Harry Clarke books

Firstly Queens, I have a copy of this book, and it's nice but slim, it's a collection of colour plates of a series of nine windows that are in private hands, I think I paid twenty four pounds for mine, happy bidding... Secondly, a book that we got ne...

TFI The Weekend

Bit of a choppy working week, but now two days respite. Which is nice. So, off to see the family in a few minutes, hence being up and about at this time.Quiet night in last night, Brand new Rebus on TV, lots of swearing for an ITV show I thought, the...

Quiz action

Didn't go see the band in Hythe last night, did the quiz at The Grand instead. It's an easy one, so though we did quite well, we didn't do well enough. We dropped six questions out of 36, two on our vital joker round, so no meal for four prize for us...

Scrap the licence fee

The BBC are a bit annoying at the moment aren't they? If they're not punking the the queen with crazy video pranks, they're ripping off the public with phoney competitions. Why not get rid of the licence fee, and replace it with a subscription for BB...

That's the one

Maybe it's more of a boys film then?

There is a remake of it, where the lead guy seems to have been replaced with Queen Latifah. It wasn't that version.

The perfect crime

After the fabulous treat of yesterday evening (sausage, beans and fried potatoes for tea AND two episodes of Lovejoy), this morning's long wait outside the office was probably due. No keyholder turned up for over an hour, so I couldn't get into the b...

RE: Billy Webb's Lament

That's Queens Road, Copnor, Portsmouth not Gosport.

Brian May

Went to Canterbury on Saturday to try and get a PSP for Mrs Pauly, and we saw Brian May in Dixons. I think he was buying a printer. He's very tall and was a bit scruffy. Don't know if he thought he was being a bit incognito in his long studenty coat ...

A hundred million apologies

As if it wasn't bad enough I made you go and see Queen, then I go and steal this one from under your nose. Prepare to be jealous some more, just got a text from Emma saying something like "OMG I just did a shot with Dave Grohl!" - she is at the Kerra...

The Comic Strip

Woo, there's a Comic Strip box set on the way, all THIRTY NINE comic strips! Doesn't specifically mention Mr Jolly Lives Next Door, but I'm guessing it's there... Who would have thought there were so many? Not all of them are great, but there's enoug...

Rugby

Our day of Rugby in Twickenham on Saturday was absolutely fab, and I'll be going again (next time we get cheap tickets for a high profile final that is). London Wasps gave a good thrashing to the faves Leicester Tigers, 39-14. We went straight to a p...
