There was no music where I was @pavvers but the guy supervising those who had to wait for 15 minutes was wearing a David Crosby hat

Went out for a drive yesterday. It was fine. Met a charming young lady who STABBED ME IN THE ARM. So, I’ve had the vaccine. The charming young lady told me that I was very brave. That it happened at ‘The Home of the World Darts Championship’ is neither here nor there

I’m now looking at pictures of Pop stars from 1969 to try and rationalise my Pandemic haircut. I’m going with Scott Walker but he’s too damn pretty

@codonnell_Times @pavvers Chris’ big sister, Maria had it. She also had Meaty, Beaty Big and Bouncy, the Beatles 1966 compilation and at least one of the red/ blue 70s compilations. Plus she was into Siouxie. In many ways, it’s all her fault

@JimMelly I love that song. I remember buying it in a sweet shop in Plumstead that had a box of singles on the counter.

@BBCRadio4 Start the Week - everyone talking about Jacques Derrida is referring to ‘De-ridd-er’. I was raised on the Scritti Politti pronunciation of Jacques ‘De-reed-er’ so this is a strange start to my week.

This is what happens when you have a government led by people whose only expertise is the ability to write undergraduate essays for cash

The theme music to BBC Radio’s ‘Sports Report’ should be the national anthem

Man, you should write this down. People would be interested in ‘how stuff actually got done’ rather than yet another ‘then we got stoned and recorded another cover of ‘Killing Floor’' music autobiography

@JimMelly Yup. 67 Brook St, Mayfair. There's a Bee Gees plaque saying they lived there; they didn't, RSO Records did. Clapton as well. I was Cream's last roadie until they reformed for that one-off. I moved the 1969 farewell gig stage gear from Bishops after the 5 yr rental finished in 74

@Catfordkid @pavvers Haha! He also said, ‘What about that time you raided my house and I hid behind the coffee table and you missed me?’ Mate, they’ll be round your house at 6am tomorrow. Set your alarm

Just watched a man shout at two police officers, ‘I’ve been arrested in every part of this country and you are the stupidest coppers I ever met.’ He didn’t look like a climate-change protestor
