Off on my usual jaunt to Germany pre Christmas. At the moment I've 4 hotels booked for 8 dates to allow for all possible fixture changes.

Sorry I'm late to the party, away on holiday. Over the past 20 years I've done plenty of 'adults only' holidays so here comes my advice- Go to the absolute maximum of your budget. Avoid the Brits, Yanks and Canadians, which means everybody. We've been to Tenerife, bad Cape Verde, people from...

Stood on Barca beach watching two boats so far out I don't know which is which. Gʻ

Forget about what I'm drinking, it's all they had, but where I am. 300kph TGV Paris to Barcelona.

I was working in Rain, later buddies, on Kings Road. The press guy who overslept was in there until very late. I was living in a flat on King's Road and woke up, turned on the TV and said to the wife a big incident had happened. Took 10 minutes before we realised it was outside. Pulled back the...

Nope. But plenty of chilli.

For 12 years I've used the southern kiosk in the East Upper. 12 years of burgers or pies, that's it. No pizza or chips or fancy stuff. 12 years of the same. But today they had baked potato with 3 bean chilli. Made my day.

There is a well know DJ called James Hype. He is on YouTube showing his weekly gigs. As a side, he thinks nothing of hiring a private jet for a weekend to get to 4 gigs in 3 days in different countries. Someone is making money. ANYWAY, a recent video on YouTube had him telling of the first club...

Me me me.... Turned down the job in Revolution (in the basement of Kings West/ Top Rank) back in 1982. Offered me £20 a night for two nights a week when I was already on that working 6 nights a week. Great ego boost though being offered the job. BCM Magalluf I played three songs in front of 6000...

I've just seen a sneek preview of the Sky running order for today. 13:00 Talk about Man Utd 14:00 Villa v Man Utd 16:00 Talk About Man Utd 16:25 Talk About Cole Palmer 16:30 Talk About Man Utd whilst showing BHA v Spurs 17:15 Has ten Hag been sacked yet 17:30 Latest on ten Hag whilst showing BHA...

How strange. That must have been 1979/80 then. Memory must be going. Still remember they had a huge following. The days when the home fans were kept back to clear the away fans.

Quick story about the Pink Coconut. Back in 1982/3 I was the DJ in Rain, later to become Buddies, and amongst the music I was playing was Wham, Wham Rap (thanks to the guys at Rounder Records). The single flopped badly but I knew of the group. One Sunday night two lads came in for a burger...

I was there but for some reason two other games stand out more than this one. Man Utd when they played a season in Div 2 & West Ham around the same time. As a small club we were not used to huge away followings and these three bought with them a massive fan base and lots of trouble.

Met a strange fan at the Ladies games v Villa on Saturday. American by birth he spends 6 months of the year in the UK and follows the Villa Ladies home and away. Never been to a mens game. Complained that Villa were ripping off their fans charging £100 for tickets to the CL game, same as he paid...

Jimmy Young, The Man From Laramie. More importantly, in a chart full of swooners country singers and even Winifred Atwell, it was the start of Rock'n'Roll with Bill Haley, Rock Around The Clock hitting the charts for the first time.

I remember the French high speed trains, we went St Pancras, Lille & Marseille. So impressed I'm doing it again Monday. Paris, Barcelona, Madrid. Back then the Lille to Marseille ticket was £25.42 each.

This error takes me back 56 years, but has stuck in my memory all of these years. Hopeless at football but forced to play at school I decided to play in goal. The match was at the Downlands School, Hassocks, the pitch bottom left of the playing field. All changed now I expect but I so remember...

My bucket list is nearly done. One more item to be ticked off, and that is booked for 17th November. Most of my stuff revolves around music and money, I love both. My wishes weren't so much bucket list things as what I wanted to do in my life. I'm pleased to say that, with that final item next...

Someone mentioned the Americas Cup somewhere, but I've lost it. I'm in Barcelona from the 12th to 15th October and see that the racing is on 12th & 13th. Anyone know if it is free to get down to the boats and have a look around. Guessing watching them race out at sea isn't worth sitting on the...

I am worried. We are defending a country against another country. We've taken sides in what could well become a war on a larger scale. If we are involved it gives the aggressor a reason to attack us, be it in Cyprus or our bases here in the UK. My other concern is why this war and not Ukraine...
