Musical ones, specifically. I recently reacquainted myself with Springsteens 'Born To Run' album, on the basis that he must have just lost his way and there was some spark of genius, or something, there once.


No. Pish, and always has been.


Van Morrison falls into the same category. Mediocre songs sung in a mediocre voice. And being grumpy does not equate with being soulful.


And that Jim Morrison, he's another one...

there you go Keef , theres 3 to be getting on with . :))

The music I grew to hate (along with my younger brothers) was often dictated by which one of my parents was in the driving seat on our yearly holiday on the continent.


Dad would make an enormous public fuss concerning my mothers competence on the european highway and suggested that he should take the wheel when faced with the challenging alpine roads. Incidentally, my dad has acrued 9 penalty point where as mums license is clean.


So, on long non-stop journey's from London to Austria or Italy my father would bore the teeth from our gums by playing his Simply Red or Genesis collection.


Mum would brighten up the journey by playing these amongst others while my dad sulked. We sang along.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
