You know I can still recite every word from my many Jam albums, and even the entire Dare album by The Human League - but try to get me to recite my Shakespeare - no, that is long gone.


I have just recited 'A Town Called Malice for James' - he looked horrified, so I thought - hey he wasn't a Mod - I forgive him. I then recited 'Love Action' by the Human league, and he opened a bottle of wine, and recited the words of 'Bat out of Hell'. God I am lucky I met him in the 90's - I would never have gone out with someone who was into Meat Loaf!


At least new romantics washed their hair.

It's friday after lunch, I'm tired, I've just had a greasy spoon (veggie breakfast with bacon) and can't keep my eyes open.


In a desperate bid to keep from falling asleep at my desk I've had a listen to this surreal slice of america.


If you're struggling too have a listen

Yo La Tengo - Today is the day

One of my all time favourite songs introduced by John McEnroe?!?!?

Okay Mockney, here's a challenge for your sleepy post-lunch state: about 20 years ago (gulp) I saved up tokens from KP Hula-Hoops and sent off for a big plastic hula hoop (in pieces). It came in the post with a red plastic very thin record (are they called 'micros' maybe?). For one happy summer I hula-hooped in my bedroom to the sounds of this record until it got lost/damaged/thrown away by annoyed parents. All I can remember about it was that the lyrics went something like " ... and you loop to the loop and hoop to the hoop" or something, in a kind of 'rap' styley by a man and then it went into a melody when he went "... and swing ...".


If you can find this and put it on in the Music Room I will bring you back some chorizo from Spain - leaving for the airport in one hour ... and if anyone else has happy memories of this song, let's get hula hooping!

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
