Go Now - Moody Blues

Strand

First I've heard of it - what are the details?

Not sure about that one Cit.Ed. Could imagine getting quite restless at a concert, but ok as background stuff. C+ - could do better!

Go for it. I was on the train back from Cheltenham Festival once and Jamie Moralee and Andy May were in my carriage. Finally plucked up the courage to say how much I enjoyed watching them the night before and they were darlings - I even got a kiss from them. You will kick yourself if you don't say something.

Ooh - liked that Jah. Kind of Moody Blues meets Madness!

I suspect if someone tipped Apple the wink, their lawyers might have something to say.

I watched my daughter have a general anaesthetic earlier in the year. The anaesthetist and surgeons were so cool and competent, it really reassured me; and the recovery ward and nurses are bloody brilliant. Natural to be scared but everyone does know their job.

Blue Eyes - Elton John

Welcome aboard, jasmine.

It's all in the game - Cliff Richard

All by myself - Eric Carmen

West Ham Sponsors?

This is a fairly interesting site if you have time to waste: That'll teach 'em Channel 4 recreated 1950s schooling and plonked a load of kids who'd just received pretty good GCSEs into a rigorous, academic setting. It certainly proved that academic standards have slipped (eg, none of them passed a 1950s 11 Plus exam) but there are good arguments/anecdotes for not continuing with this system. However, we do seem to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. (See what a grammar school education does for one?)

I'm just watching yesterday's highlights. How low can mankind sink when there is advertising on the stretcher/buggy/thingy?

I too thoroughly enjoyed it Jah. Spent the next hour playing various Faces. Don't you think Keef has something of the Ronnie Lane about him?

Burn Down the Mission - Elton John

I've just watched it to see what I missed the first time round. My only concern (regarding waxed pudenda) was picked up on the show by a psychologist which I thought gave it balance. I still think it's very good, have no qualms about my daughter having seen it and in fact think it would be instructive for everyone who has/wants an active sex life to watch it.

My 14 year old daughter watched this - I caught the last 10 minutes or so and watched it with her when I got home that night. From what I saw, I thought it was brilliant. Teenagers are bombarded with unrealistic role models; to see what 'normal' penises and breasts looked like was very reassuring. Also, she was shocked by the statistics of unprotected sex. I didn't see that bit, but it seems to reinforce the importance of using condoms that I have tried to instil in her. [Obviously she will remain a maiden until her wedding night, (can't have too many chastity belts) but just in case!]

Weather bulletins that say it won't rain until lunchtime. I hung my washing out early this morning thinking I'd get a few hours drying in. Grr.

October is always Black History Month in all schools.

Oh dear, I feel got at now. I did sit with a totally strange baby on my lap from Brixton to Peckham. The point being that the mother seemed particularly inept and it didn't occur to her to fold up the pushchair when there was no baby in it to alleviate the congestion problem.
