  1. Being a jazz fan, really enjoyed BBC4 last night and on Friday evening. There must have been as much jazz on those two evenings as on the previous how many years.
  2. Good programme on BBC4 about Hull during the Blitz. Very touching. My parents lived near Salford Docks during the Blitz and experienced similar devastation.
  3. Brilliant journalist and editor of the Sunday Times. He exposed the Thalidomide scandal. He was shafted by Rupert Murdoch when he took over Times Newspapers.
  4. Talking Heads is just so good. I've seen all of them recently except the Martin Freeman one. I'll watch on the I player. Looking forward to the last one in half an hour.I saw them all in the original series and the new ones are just as good .
  5. I saw Jerry Lee Lewis at the New Orleans Jazz Festival a few years ago and he was brilliant although he only did about 30 minutes. I couldn't believe many 30 and 40 year olds near us saying they'd no idea who he was!! Re Little Richard there was a reference in the great Times obituary to him being ambisexual and he had a threesome with Buddy Holly and another unnamed person . What a life!!
  6. So it turns out that Bob Wilson was right and Harold Genders was wrong!!
  7. Tony Garnett has died. Involved in making Kes with Ken Loach among many other great projects like The Price of Coal , Between The Lines and This Life. Also Cathy Come Home and many others.
  8. Wow! What happened to Paley? His wedding was featured in an article in The Times years ago.
  9. I remember him being on the Granada regional news magazine programme in the 60s with Bob Greaves and was Michael Parkinson on the same programme?Great broadcaster!!
  10. Perhaps if some of the people who are now shouting about Bury had actually attended their games they wouldn t be in such dire straits ! I used to live in Bury and hardly anybody I knew went to Gigg Lane.
  11. One of my favourite R n B performers. I 've seen him maybe 10 times from the New Orleans Jazz Festival to an NFL promoted show at the O2 when New Orleans Saints were playng at Wembley. Unfortunately he d not been well for a few years but still a shock.
  12. Don t Sheffield United have a squad of only British players so this may be true of them too.
  13. Salford at Wembley for the first time since 1969!! Tickets for the final are £41 and £36!! I ll be there as I live in London.
  14. John Shuttleworth, Henning Wehn and on TV The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon,Not Going Out and HIGNFY.
