    Great cheapo video too.

    SS-GB.

    I remember looking at the book in the library a few times as a teenager, but always choosing a Sven Hassell to take home instead. I finally read it last year and was genuinely shocked by how badly written it is and how dated the writing style is. Still, it's not a bad yarn and it's a...

    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    I like the Bearcats track, but really like this. Not known to me at all, but I'm very out of touch - new(ish) job pretty much blocks everything of interest on the internet.

    You might like this, Staly. It's been on YouTube for exactly one year and one day, but it's pretty new to me, and I bloody love it. They've got other bits on there worth checking too.

    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    First time I saw The Wedding Present was 1985 at the Escape with Age of Chance. David Gedge broke two strings during the first song. Or possibly that was the second time. Either way, it was the first time that someone other than a parent told me they loved me. Awww...

    Freeview as an alternative to Virgin / Sky. Advice please.

    My Virgin charges were initially £45 per month four years ago, and now they’re nudging £80. We watch very little ‘regular’ TV, but do have Netflix. Our internet usage is no more than browsing the web, watching Youtube vids or BBC iPlayer, and downloading a bit of music every so often. Surely...

    I'm just happy with cold and crisp and bright - beats wet and mild and grey, always!

    Far more chance of cold and possibly snow during the first half of winter than for the past few years. Found this on the 'Brighton Past' FB page - Brighton seafront, winter 62/63.

    https://business.weather.com/news/european-seasonal-forecast-unusual-early-season-cold-a-sign-of-further-wintry-conditions This would seem to go directly against the Met Office message of early winter being colder. It does offer a colder second half though.

    Any updates at all? We've had some seasonal chilliness, but are we due some proper cold?

    Tram derailed in Croydon

    I was in Brighton on Saturday for The Raincoats gig, and only got back to East Croydon just in time to get the last tram to Beckenham Junction. The splitting of the track where the accident happened is really sharp, almost a right angle, whether you're heading to Beckenham Junction and Elmer's...
