The Saucy Teen Revelations Of The Happiness Patrol

Its Happiness Patrol time again – a 30 minute mix of upbeat, happy nonsense that you may or may not have heard before. Thanks to everyone (and I mean ‘one’ – Christopher Bate, a gentleman as always) who gave feedback on the last one. Its been a lot of fun finding the tracks to put in. [...]

Spitting (Pig) Image

Things you don’t expect to see at the bottom of your road #813: A Hog Roast Machine Apparently the pub just round the corner did a special hog roast raising money for Sport Relief on Saturday. Quite how eating mass amounts of roasted hog flesh is promoting the healthy values of the BBC’s third most [...]

Fantastic Visage

Picked up a copy of Stuart Maconie‘s “Adventures On The High Teas” today in ASDA for a rather oddly-priced £3.86 (Or 2 for £7 but the rest was dreary romantic fiction or stomach-churning grisly murders, both real and fictional. Oh and of course “Tragic Life Stories” such as “It Doesn’t Go In There Daddy”, “When Tickle Fights [...]

The Return Of The Son Of The Monster Of The Ghost Of The Happiness Patrol

For those three and a half people concerned, I probably wont be doing any further Saturday Six compilations. It was supposed to be an easy posting for the weekend but I felt I needed to do each track justice with a good write-up – and I am rotten at reviewing things, especially things I like. [...]

Yesterday I was walking into town [...]

Theme From Failure

Incidentally, you may notice I keep fannying around with the general look of this blog – mostly because it seems damn near impossible to find something decent and then tweak it without being advised to pay for a CSS Editing douffer. Pff, if I wanted to be bewildered by technology, I’d watch Max Headroom. All [...]

Never Forget

The mini pin-board I keep in the living room to make sure I can track all my highly important sexual appointments and state dinners. Yeah. Look impressed…

Saturday Six [Two]

Welcome to yet another Saturday Six in which I offer up six pop treats for your delicate ears to promptly download then forget to unzip and never get round to listening to. Hey ho, the loneliness of the long distance tedious blogger and all that. In the words of the Crash Test Dummies, “lets begin”. [...]

Six Is Eight

After all that noise I’ve been making about 6Music recently, I completely forgot that it celebrates its eighth birthday today – partly through concerns it won’t make it to its ninth. The first time I ever had heard of the station was on its launch day when the freshly sacked Bruce Dickinson from Ver Maiden [...]
