This is the video that Coldplay's "The Scientist" could have been if they'd thrown some money at it.

Hey Staly, I was in Shrewsbury the other week, about 20 years after my first visit. Went to Hawkstone Park again and had a very pleasant wander and then dinner in Casa Naranjo, which was top notch - my partly gluten free family were very well looked after while I drank Cava and Rioja and stuffed...

I think we've just potted the blue

Last one, I promise!

That's a pretty impressive 1, 2, 3, 4. Every time I visit Tunbridge Wells, I look out to see what's playing at The Forum, but it seems that there's no regular Friday night gig as there used to be. See Cove are playing soon - I think they may have been the last band I saw there. Or was is The...

You'll be bringing us the bad weather over the weekend with your sunny vibe, but I've got great hopes for Bank Holiday Monday.

Well, OK then, although Buzzer should really be doing this.... First up, two of my old(ish) favourites, who I always give a plug to: New album coming out from Chastity Belt, lovely wistful song reminiscent of early New Order, which you may like: ....and new Girlpool album coming too...

What are you listening to at the moment?

I was really into this band in 1985; George Best was too commercial for me and I got into Mung Bean Jesus instead.

This was at Grosvenor Rec presumably? I didn't go to that - no idea why not, think The Flatmates was my first "Rumble Club", but I can't really remember. What was the first ever gig - Big Pop Trotsky??

I'm not convinced this story is a reflection of a healthy society, but I'm going to guess that millions will celebrate this news as if it is.

Fair enough. I'll have a look for obscure players at lunchtime.

I can see Steve Coppell. Hard to know where to start with naming these - need to paste some numbers onto them and then we can deal with what's missing?

The Nix by Nathan Hill. Very enjoyable so far, but it's long and it's in hardback, so it's making my bag heavy when I go to and come back from work. I really shouldn't complain. Before that, Idaho by Emily Ruskovich which was borderline OK/good and A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan...

I think that instinct would tell you to avoid that firm, should you ever come across it - I always use Hawkins Holroyd.

Here's a quiz based on an idea from hans kraay fan club. You have to guess the player from his clubs before and (where relevant) after playing for the Albion. This one only includes players (no loanees) who have played for us since 2010 - probably the first of five as I'll do others based on...
