I see you're uncoolness annaj and I'll raise you.... how about adding in a dash of Radio 2?!!


I have Absolute, Radio 1 and 4, Heart and Capital as preset stations on my car radio but still I find myself going back to Radio 2 (just to confuse have that preset as station 1!!)


Find it esp satisfying to have talk back to the radio at some of the numpties they have on Jeremy Vine (inc the man himself!). Had to head up the the wilds of East Anglia and back the other day and apart from Steve Wright - who was esp annoying me - it was R2 all the way - added treat was having Tom Jones on with Chris Evans!


... is there anyone uncooler than me?!!

Strawbs you did get a starring role in my recent snow-in-ED epic, but since it's you, here you go. A bus for you and "The Real Mrs C".

I'm with Jah, gave up music radio in '97ish when xfm was bought up,worried that if I ever unexpectedly heard coldplay i may end up doing time. Since those days it's been the glorious (and not so glorious) LBC (97.3). I even set the alarm an extra hour earlier so mI can listen to Steve Allen in the morning.....

Come on Quids and Jeremy, let's find some common ground. Both of you come and join me in my Clash dream.

It was in black and white and on a street corner in New York City, never been there so don't know which one.

There was Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Topper Headon and from my point of view me. So I'd given myself the Paul Simonon role in this dream, 25 years ago I'd've given him a run, but truthfully he's aged better.

Anyway, we formed a circle, put our arms around each other and touched heads.

Joe said 'This is the last time The Clash will ever stand together', and we all held on to each other as the city carried on around us.

I woke up, I'd been sleeeping on my back and tears were running out of the corners of my eyes, I had tears in my ears.

Never had a dream like it since, but perhaps once is enough.

As well, Mott The Hoople are reforming for some shows in October, now that's a dream come true.


Thanks to you both for bringing together Mott The Hoople and The Clash, not that they were ever too far away in lots of ways, Mick Jones, Guy Stevens, Bill Price and the roots of punk rock etc.


Anyway, shake hands and do a version of All The Yound Dudes.

Then slam into the single version of White Riot and pogo together lovingly.

There, that's better.

      what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.

      The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.

      That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.

      Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
