....although Bobby George might argue with that.

Well, he didn’t go out of his way to make himself likeable, but in the early 80s - for me, the heyday of darts - he was untouchable. Like him or loathe him, he ways probably the first showman of the sport.

I feel (slightly) better now....

The problem is that you can read the play, but you can forget the names of all the major characters unless you're starring in a production or you studied it at school. I could name all the major characters of Macbeth (studied for O level) very easily, but virtually none of the characters in any...

I would guess: 1. Who is the manager of the Scotland national football team? Don't know 2. After how many years marriage do you celebrate your Platinum wedding anniversary? 70 3. According to the popular 1970s hit song - and there is a Withdean reference here - who was burning up the fuel, up...

Same here. Although I didn't actually attend the real thing.

Not normally one to boast, but, full house for me - I'm the kind of person who knows their Sussex buildings and architecture.

Got a very average 4. I'd like to attend the quiz one day. I love quizzes.

I agree with you. What I find even stranger is that, in recent years, some on the right have started to defend or faintly praise Putin as well. Either the guy is a tactical/psychological genius to get both extremes onside, or we’re seeing a dangerous slide in Europe (and the US) away from...

I'm on your side - rarely trust those with immutable and entrenched positions. "Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."

I got this one at the same time as Yo La Tengo. Nice deep blue vinyl. Haven't devoted time to it yet, but my wife's a big fan - could be a contender. Hoping Jon Hopkins next month could be the one.

Nice suggestions, but no and no! I like the singles off the Hookworms album, plus a fair few of the tracks, but it's in 7.5 territory rather than 9.1......

In today's world, yes; back then, no. This was years ago, and the airmen on duty were doing me and my girlfriend (now wife) a big favour when we (and they) couldn't locate a friend of ours who lived on the base who we were visiting. They were extremely kind and accommodating. However, pretty...

Entry control building at Ramstein US air base in Germany.

The bloke from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - sounds like Spud from Bob the Builder.

That’s really interesting and quite inspiring. I’d love to have a go, but not sure I could dedicate the time to it at the moment. I expect it’s also relatively easy to make liquid soaps, but undoubtedly a crowded market. I’ll try a bottle if you make one - but only if it has a good quality...

Big fan of Williams GB. Thanks all. Would it be appalling behaviour to buy one of each? I think there’s a Blackdown gin of some description as well - so just the 5 bottles, I think. If there’s a pick’n’mix 6 deal as well, I may throw in a bottle of Brighton gin. I’ll report back when they’ve...

Right, I've run down all my gins so that I only have a small amount of Plymouth, nothing else left. I fancy getting a Sussex-based gin next - anyone tried any (apart from Brighton gin, which seems to get a mixed press and is on the pricey side) and have an opinion?

Recent purchases: Lucy Dacus, Soccer Mommy, The Breeders, Anna Burch, Young Fathers, Yo La Tengo. All pretty good music for doing the ironing to on a Sunday afternoon, but none of them have blown me away. Having said that, I can't remember the last time an album blew me away. I find myself...
