And another thing....

Queenie "I am deeply humbled"

Murdoch "The most humble day of my life"

I'm no expert in English but I don't think a day can be humble can it?  So that's what they must mean about the Queen's English?

Queenie - Cheers I am exceedingly humbled that you care so much. 
That's ok English isn't it? I bloody knew they weren't wrong when they awarded me that CSE English certificate.

Alternatively it's likely just as much bullshit as Murdoch's obvious insincerity.

    I like that a great deal and, as you might have noticed I have gathered that you are back blogging and I like that
    I really must do more but I'm certainly listening to and reading about music with a vengeance. That is not to mention somehow ending up discussing the fâte of 'Binns' and 'Doggarts' department stores... See you at NDH!

    Had a listen to NDH playlist. Sounds like plenty of good stuff on. Sorting those discs I promised you a long time ago as we speak. See you tomorrow.

    Agree with you Geoff. I think it should be "The most humbling day of my life"
    Have a great time at the festival

Can't believe a week has passed since I arrived at EOTR. This time last week I was probably experiencing the thrills of  Californian heavy blues duo  Deap Vally  (think I previously mis-spelt their name - apologies go out to DV). They warned the audience it was going to be loud (unusual) and it was.  The warm-up night audience generously lapped it up and unlike Dinosaur Jr who were similarly loud/heavy on the final night (more later) there wasn't a melody in sight.  That's no good for me in 2013.  In truth it never has been. As I said last week there 5 bands on the night all from the Communion record label/promotions roster including soon to be Boro faves Catfish and the Bottlemen .  The singer, Van McCann (I'm not buying that's real) is a genuine hoot and a half as well so Teesside people join me at The Westgarth on 8 October.     Overall I counted up that I saw 50 bands/artists over the 4 days and much of it very good or better ...

Virgin are really fucking me about, making it very difficult for me to post. I keep getting a message to activate my account. Wouldn't normally bother me but they keep asking me to select a password and when I choose my e-mail address (the same one I've had for about 8 years) it says I can't have it as somebody else has it! Given that I've only stayed with them all these years to keep my e-mail address I'm not going any further until I speak to somebody. My tenant goes in to my house tomorrow so I'll be a landlord so there'll be no more slagging off capitalists in this house. Kirkstone Road continues to be sublime. Got a Chinese takeaway from the new Beijing Dragon at Norfolk shops. It was awesome and it goes straight in at number one (according to my discerning pallet anyway) with a bullet. Happy days!

An Epiphany

Hello All, Some of you might have noticed I haven't posted much recently.   I've lapsed a number of times over the years (usually down to bone idleness or personal crisees) but this time I actually made the conscious decision but for posting the occasional photograph to go into semi-retirement.  So don't call me a lazy bastard this time ok? I'd never heard the word epiphany ( don't feel ashamed if you had to look it up, I wasn't quite sure either ) used in every day speak until about 6 weeks ago when our Russ used it but I suppose I've had one today.  It hasn't been particularly fun-packed.  In fact, after a great walk this morning (9 1/2 miles - Billingham Park Circular 9 1/2 miles) and Boro getting beat 2-0 by Leeds I've done bugger all.  Apart from....................... 1.  Started getting a bit down.  I've' got a tough couple of weeks ahead of me.  It will be the 4th anniversary of my father's death on...
