    ...and my pavlovian response to getting home from work. Head to change into house clothes and whenever my trousers are half way down I suddenly need to pee in the next 2 seconds. Haven't gotten into my head that I should visit a toilet before I leave anywhere just yet. Always found it strange that my Mum and Dad would ask to visit the facilities just before they left friends' houses. Seemed strange to think that their thanks for a nice night was to urinate or defecate, but I'm beginning to realise why now!
    just accept the inevitable and buy the boggy pee pants, at least you will get to go and see some gigs if the ads accurate.
  • Been quite a fan of this young woman for years now, with her musical collaborations and words.  

    However, this video I stumbled upon whilst idling on the sofa, laptop open and Graham Norton TV show buzzing away in the  background.  Quite frankly it's all a bit too close for comfort.  :o

    Oh great. I can do that.

    Do you feel you're missing something?
    .Would you like to do something amazing but find yourself just needing to veg out?
    Does it feel like you never really lived your dreams?

    The answer is...

    You haven't got enough money.
  • I went to comedy the other night with the missus and got the MC (who I know) to put us on a table by the door. For quick beer access? No, wee access lol.

  • When you want to put shoes on, you need to build up to the moment or find a stair to sit on.
  • The next stage is having velcro fastened shoes.

    I'm most definitely not knocking it - more of an endorsement really!

    Watching Hootenanny tonight. Bob Geldof, Roger Taylor and Kathy Sledge all looked so old and Jools was bumbling about like a fat uncle at a wedding. Surely that's not my generation.


    I know that feeling... I was watching a new Clint Eastwood film 'Juror 2' starring Nicholas Hoult last weekend. I knew Hoult from 'About A Boy' and he was always just that little boy in my head - I had seen him in the X-Men franchise so I sort of knew he had grown up. Then after watching Juror 2, I looked him up and was surprised to find he was only 2 years younger than myself. The little boy is now 35 years old, which is a bit of a shocking fact to me.... So I'm approaching 40 now. Scary... :D
    You should watch The Great, he is brilliant in it!

    I noticed - even before the announcement - that Gilson Lavis the drummer was missing - it had me scrambling to google his name and was much relieved to find he had simply retired - phew.

    Jools and Gilson must've worked together for 40 years or so.  I recall one interview where Gilson was asked about Jools.  He simply replied, "I've seen the best of him, I've seen the worst of him ... there are no surprises".  It is a quote I've shamelessly nicked and used on several occasions.

    Same here Raith , and when I googled him it said he had cancer !!! I thought Noooo .
    I started looking up everything , and found absolutely nothing to support .
    Hope he enjoys his retirement .
    I find Google reasonably accurate , but seeing that , made me think why do they not check their headlines.
  • Thank gawd he's ok, used to love Squeeze I remember a great concert on TV with them live in New York Central Park.

    Jools personally made a noise complaint about my wedding. A bridesmaid gave him the middle finger and told him where to go! 
    Maybe in hindsight setting up the marquee in his back garden was tempting fate
    Actually not that far from the truth!

  • When you say about 15 years ago and it was 1992.

    Yeah I assumed that too. My nephew got married there 15 years ago. 
  • You’re the last person to know what having an upside down pineapple in your trolley is all about and you hear about it on radio 4 as though it’s something normal. 
    You're definitely not the last person.  When I googled it I also found this. 

    An upside-down pineapple: You're a swinger looking for a couple. Putting a peach in someone's trolley: You're basically flirting. Lettuce: You're looking for a one night stand. Lentils: You want something long-term.

    Beware all ye who enter the fruit and veg aisle  :#  
    There is a house up Brockley Rise, probably early 1900's, with four upside down pineapple statues on the front wall, I always have a snigger as I walk past
