If music be the food of love… get me a bucket.

Hi, Poptastic On the way to work I was listening to Radio 4’s The Reunion. For those of you outside the UK, Radio 4 is part of the BBC and it’s talk radio. Not so much speak your brainz phone ins, but interviews, book of the week and other such stuff. Oh, and comedies – either plays or panel shows (yay! News Quiz). None of this modern popular beat combo nonsense, that’s for sure. 😉 Anyhoo, today was a programme called The Reunion, which – perhaps somewhat obviously – brings people together after a long period of time, to discuss and comment on a historic, or social, event of yesteryear. Today, was the Hit Factory. A team of three gents […]

Fight your fears

Hi, Last weekend of the Easter Holidays, so it’s back into the routine of School Runs and later starts. Not that I mind.

All good fun. Then it was off to […]

Hi, It’s been a somewhat odd day today. To start with, it’s a holiday weekend for the UK and given where I work, I get an extra day on Tuesday. Talk about a long weekend… and not that I’m complaining. 🙂 The Ever Lovely Mrs J, myself and our two nippers had gone into town to get new school shoes for the kids. While we were there, we stopped off at a bookshop. Yeah, I know you can get books cheaper on-line, but I still think there’s a lot to be said about being able to browse the books, see the stalls and sit down for a read before you buy. Yeah, I do own a Kindle and yes, I […]
