    Mississippi Delta Blues

    I Im In the same boat as yourself. Was well into the blues late 80’s / early 90’s, when Mick Schofield had his Kite Club Blues nights upstairs at The Raikes. One guy who stood out was UP Wilson (I think that was his name), who looked like Chuck Berry. His party piece was holding a bottle of...

    Simon Reeve in Patagonia

    Saw him live at his show late last year. Very easy to listen to and good story teller. Also revealed a lot of behind the scenes stuff which you dont see on his shows. Also interesting to hear how he came into the spotlight in first place, due to his journalistic investigation into Osama Bin Liden

    o/t Gym Knee Support

    Ive always found wearing a knee support when playing footballer restricts general movement, whilst running / kicking, so tend not to any more. (Note - I probably shouldn't be playing at my age anyway, and after a few knee ops !!) I always suspect they offer little actual support other than...

    Sports teachers at school

    At St Georges 80 - 85 we had Bob Saunders and Jim Clayton. Both apparently very good Semi pro (?) players for Morecambe I believe. Saunders had been there a while and left in 85 to go and work for the Army in Germany. Clayton was still there when my daughter started in 2010 !!! Saunders was most...
