I know Humax PVRs bin your recording schedule when you do a retune, but I haven't done one recently.  So what, Mr Memory-Box, has caused you to forget the whole kit and kaboodle, eh?  EH??

I'm missing a couple of episodes of The Clangers now, you terrible ["Uncle Monty" - Ed.].

No the Provocatively Variable Recorder has.

Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Freeview or Freesat? I have the latter and it has switched itself off in the middle of a recording a few times lately.

Anyway, it's been a while since I attended a play upstairs at the Old Joint Stock.
This looks as if it could amuse.

Beck.

What a load of tripe your new single is.

It is a pub band trying to be Hall and Oates, lapsing into "Smell Like Teen Spirit" in the break.

Either go back to what you do best (see "Odelay") or just retire, ok?

Why would anyone try to be Hall and Oates? I'm not sure even Hall and Oates really wanted to.

Beck's still recording music?*

This.  It is a little-known fact1 that Daryl Hall auditioned for the singer's position in Generation X but narrowly lost out to Billy Idol.  John Oates was considered as a replacement for Mick Taylor2 in the Stones but Keith reckoned he was "too straight, man" so Ronnie Wood got the gig instead.

So did Hitler, and look where that got him.

Anyway...

I was somewhat surprised when watching Coast last night to see my friend's son driving Nicholas Crane round Margate in a pedicab.

Listening to the radio this morning, on my way into work, they played "Reverand Black Grape".

I remember the album "It's Great When You're Straight, YEAH!" coming out (no pun intended).

It was released in 1995!!!!

Now I REALLY feel old....
