  1. One of my sons completed the Hardmoors 55 yesterday. 55 miles ultramarathon from Guisborough finishing at Helmsley mostly run on the Cleveland Way. According to his watch he did just short of 8000 feet ascent. He was happy with his time of just under 12 hours. He has good genes, Mrs Moose is still completing marathons well into her ???????’ies
  2. Jasmin Paris first woman to complete gruelling Barkley Marathons race https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-68643341 What a fantastic achievement
  3. Musical Box by Genesis from their ‘71 album Nursery Cryme, it’s been a long time favourite of mine from first hearing it on their Genesis Live album. As an aside I remember buying the album from Lewis’s department store in Leeds about 50 years ago.
  4. TNT are showing all 5 of the India v England Test series. First match starts 4am Thursday 25th January.
  5. Absolutely. Although I remember the scandal from when it happened the TV drama showed how helpless individuals can feel when confronted with seemingly irrefutable evidence that they are guilty. I only hope that the people who are guilty of this crime are brought to justice. I won’t hold my breath.
  6. Just finished reading Pierre Lemaitre’s Irene, the first book of his trilogy featuring Commandant Camille Verhoeven of the Copenhagen Brigade criminelle. Not a book for the faint hearted, although a fiction book it contains some of the most gruesome descriptions of murders I’ve ever read. Highly recommend.
  7. A Grace Slick classic recorded with The Great Society before she joined Jefferson Airplane.
  8. I also watched Boat Story last night, I only watched the first episode and thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked the mix of comedy and violence. Daisy Haggard is great, loved her in Uncle and Breeders and this character suits her down to the ground, lots of smiles and ranting rages. She’d make a champion gurner!!
  9. It’s impossible to choose a top five. To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee Underground Railroad - Colson Whitehead Feast Day Of Fools - James Lee Burke The Aubrey And Maturin series - Patrick O’Brien The Laidlaw Trilogy - William Mcilvanney On another day I could just as easily pick any of Ian Rankin, Michael Robotham, John Grisham, Elmore Leonard, R J Ellory or Jim Thompson books.
  10. Just finished watching the 5th and final Top Boy series on Netflix. If your familiar with the series it won’t come as a surprise to learn it doesn’t end well for the main characters. Fargo returns with a new series next Tuesday in the Uk on Prime Video TV. Up there with Breaking Bad, Better call Saul, Ozark and The Soprano’s as arguably the best of American crime drama series.
  11. Ray Reardon six times World snooker champion turned 91 earlier this month.
  12. Love bootlegs, this is from a 1969 festival. No apologies it’s VU again.
  13. Don’t be silly, everyone knows it was Boris.
  14. I’ve just heard the best ever answer on The Chase. ” Which party leader worked down the pits from the age of 10” Answer - David Cameron
  15. The first Velvet Underground album sold only 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band. Attributed to Brian Eno.
  16. Hard to believe this was recorded 56 years ago. VU were so far ahead of their time.
  17. Under fives free, five to fifteen year olds £5 and adults from £10. You could sell out Headingley for a bread buttering competition at those prices.
  18. I've just been reading the QPR FC forum 'Loft for words' and found a thread had been started today about the hundred. Several county members are on the forum, people who are Kent, Surrey and Middlesex members have posted and its a good level of debate. Couldn't let this post go by without sharing. The poster is 'Hunterhoop'. Sums up my view better than I could, The concept is a complete failure. And it was completely unnecessary. Kids and families went to the T20 already. If you subsidised T20 tickets, if you put it on during the school holidays, if you added gigs and a women’s game before, if you pumped this much into marketing, it would be as equal if not a bigger success because you’d have taken county members with you, and made it accessible to 18 county’s not just 8 grounds. It’s been an absolute jobs for the boys con job. All the pundits like Vaughan with shares in sports agencies have made a killing from the pointless draft where the ECB are just handing out money to players and their agents. The consultancies involved have made a killing for themselves. The leaders within the ECB who implemented took their enormous bonuses for getting it off the ground even though it’s running at a loss and there is no evidence to say it is drawing in any new audience or one that couldn’t have been drawn in with far less wasted investment. It’s also completely ruining the whole cricket schedule both County and England. For what? It’s a dud and deserves to be canned. Sounds like next year will be the last one, won’t it?
  19. A fair and balanced post SUPERSTUD. It really was a cracking game, never more than four points between the two teams. I understand the official attendance was 1094 LOL. I was on the first level with hardly a spare seat and the top deck, going by the noise was also packed. The bars were packed and the hospitality lounge was packed. 1094, my backside
  20. No sitting on the fence with this from The Velvet Underground. You either love it or hate it.
