I'm having a The Walkmen (one of the most consistently underrated bands of recent times) and Hamilton Leithauser (their front man) binge at the moment. The latest single is great.


His voice is my favourite in music at the moment.

I remember playing on the same bill as H.O.L in the early 2000s - which is an indication of how far they'd fallen from the public consciousness. Still, they seemed happy to be there and playing on stage, and they sounded good.


Ran into Guy a few years later when he was living round these parts, fixing sash windows for a living. Way more lucrative than music, I dare say.

I asked I Ludicrous to play at my wedding party thingy. They had a lame excuse of being out of practice or something. Got to see them at the Hope and Anchor in more recent times. I've posted there footy related tracks elsewhere on this forum. Of course John was a clerk for most of his working life and when we saw them about ten years ago it looked like they had both come from the office. I'll probably see John at a 60th in a few weeks time. Wow, what a rock and roll life I lead.

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
