Just had an email from Fuller's telling me Friday is International Beer Day. 15% off beers purchased online or from the brewery shop, a place I love to visit.
My neighbour Hans is from Berlin, he lives with his daughters Knees and Boomps -a- daisy. He defected over the Berlin wall in the 70s. Of course, they have toilets there now.
I have that live album - I love Life Is Just A Slow Train Crawlin' Up A Hill. I heard another version by an unknown female many years later, it was awful.
I always hoped there would be a remix or remaster of the Beano album. I always found Decca pop/rock/blues albums sort of hollow sounding. But jazz and classical fine.
It's a bit creepy, but a friend of mine years back who was a journalist said that when a famous person gets v old, papers assemble obits ready for when the famous person passes on. I guess Clive would know.
I can still remember, even after all these long years, the comment in the Melody Maker. “British musicians have never sounded like this in the studio - the album is a credit to John and his band” Certainly I'd never heard anything like it.
He had an incredibly loyal fan base. I would sometimes see him two or three times a week as the venues were all easy to reach from West London - Marquee, Toby Jug, Eel Pie, Klook's Kleek etc. Reckon there'll be a good full page obit in the Times who are v good at these things. This was a good 'un.
I haven't noticed the famous annual Flying Ant Day, although there were a couple of days that I didn't go out. How the flying ants coordinate with one another baffles me.
I kid you not……I'm in the pub and three women in the corner are wearing ear bandages a la Trump. I was going to go over with clenched fist and say”fight, fight, fight” but maybe they've just had treatment for ear complaints !
