Places for a new ground
at 16:41 26 Feb 2025

To be honest - and I have zero in the know information - I don't think that the owners have any interest in moving us to a new home.

We're not Ruben's main business priority and any such project anywhere near Loftus Road would be an extremely complicated and lengthy undertaking. I just can't see it.

Alternatively, in the world of reverse psychology and knowing what a propensity I have to get things all wrong, there will probably be spades in the ground at 9.01am tomorrow

Driving in France 🇫🇷
at 08:43 26 Feb 2025

Some great advice on here.

I've been driving in France for well over 30 years and it has mostly been fine. The crazy "priorite a droite" nonsense, whereby vehicles on your right have priority, even if they are on a tiny side road, seems to have become far less prevalent, thankfully.

Two additional tips:
- Don't push your luck when you're getting low on fuel. There are some areas where petrol stations are very few and far between. We struggled to find any in central Brittany and there are none in the whole of the Castagniccia region of Corsica. Also, they may not be open late or at weekends.

- Speed limits are lower in rain or other types of bad weather. More here:

You might already know of Zombi, I would describe their music as hard-edged progressive electronic *but* although there are a lot of synths in there, there are only two musicians, a proper drummer, and a bassist who also handles most of the keyboards and the electric guitars.

As a result, the drumming and bass playing are very much to the fore and propel the music forward.

Eerie but my oh my, what a toe tapper!


Adrienne Davies' drumming - and of course, Dylan's guitar playing - is so precise and expressive in this. They really understand the power of the space between the notes.

Oh wow, quelle coincidence! I was just about to post this:


Can's sound, especially the drumming, was so influential, for example, on the Madchester scene...

The QPR replica shirts with Γεώργιος Τόφας * on the back never really caught on, did they?

If only this bloke had played in a match Drury was commentating on:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Archibald-Henville

On the subject of his tricky surname:

"Before his debut, Exeter asked the Football League if they could just put "Troy" on the back of his shirt but were told the entire surname had to be there, without exception".

"Playing the quarterback role".

Oh my, that one really does my head in

Then there's all this modern focus on "turnovers". You what? Do they come with custard? Clotted cream?

Very wise and interesting stuff. That tinnitus matching software is impressive, thanks for sharing 👍

I suffer from it too, I think it all started when, as a student, I was stuck next to the monitor in a crowded pub, while a gig was going on.

Great post. Alternatively, damp tissue paper works well, I've used that method to protect my ears successfully at quite a few gigs, including an indoor Iron Maiden one.

On the subject of hearing, years ago, my mate told me that his friend was worried that he had permanently damaged his. His teenage son, I learned, had wanted to go to see his favourite band, but his dad wasn't having that because he was too young.

So, they went together.

Now he's got hearing problems, my mate explained.

Me: "Which band was it?"

My mate: Some lot called Slipknot.

Me: "Oh right" .

The moral of the story: Always do your research first.

By the way, the recent film about a heavy metal drummer who loses his hearing, "The sound of metal," is amazing. You can access it via the iPlayer.
