Arrgghhh, moderation again. X, Instagram etc may be heading one way but the Nest is bucking that trend.

Definitely more bitter than sweet with the kind of dry sarcasm you only really associate with British pop.

After bigging up Agency I’m tempted to backtrack a little.As good as the acting and storyline was they seem to have lifted it scene for scene from the French version which is a bit lazy so now I’m bigging up Le Bureau des Legendes.

Apart from Lennon/McCartney, I would say Paul Heaton is a match for every other song-writer Britain has ever produced. There are just so many great songs, and with two different bands. And lyrically, he’s a far more interesting listen than most of the Beatles’ songs.

They certainly had a great line in bittersweet. Here’s my thruppence barpenceworth. https://youtu.be/2lGzJwksSv4?si=6K8Y-aqg5K_dqizO

Another Beautiful song (in both ways)

Terry Wogan threatened to play it as is last song on Radio 2
Sadly, he didnt

Still enjoying myself in The Wayback Time Machine playing some old levels of AB Friends(not even The TARDIS has that facility) when the levels had substance and were not made with toilet paper and matchsticks. There’s even a bunch of levels in honour of Green Day, which reminds me…

You are a very naughty person, @hunnybunny.

I wonder how often this was accidentally played on mainstream daytime radio.

Love The Beautiful South, especially this one

@BrianN re: piers debate thought you would have suggested the Harry Hill approach

It must be admitted @hunnybunny, that while Bangor pier has the superior length, Penarth has the superior girth. I feel a song coming on…

Genuflects obsequiously.

Awaiting moderation.

See today’s challenge level is another one of those previously banned from the list. Meanguy has a top score 20k higher than anyone else. He wasn’t allowed a puppy yet his score stands?! “I put on my exploding platforms and everything went ‘BOOM!'”

No to challenges that only allow ABO and Seasons as there are some people who…[Read more]

Size isn’t everything. So which is better, Bangor pier or Penarth pier? There’s only one way to find out… “(((Go Compare!!!)))”

So, in truth, these two Welsh piers are the cream of the crop. Llandudno, which fancies itself, hasn’t won in 20 years and can’t even stand up in a storm. I am a Bangor pier…[Read more]

Penarth won Pier oft the Year, did yours?

Poor old Wynne, apparently wanted to “split roast” Janette, no idea who with, guess him and Joanna will be taken off next week….
