    When I was younger we used to come back from the pub to friends houses and listen to music until we dropped. I remember an album by BB King, Albert King and John Lee Hooker as one a mate had and it was amazing, but I can't remember what it was called. Anybody know?

    If you like that, have a listen to the 'His n' Hers' Album - my personal Pulp favourite.

    And if you like that, have a listen to 'Showbiz' by CUD. A natural progression I think and well worth the effort.

    I saw Thin Lizzy in about 1980 at the Milton Keynes Bowl (an ironically named venue if ever there was one). Top live band. Whilst the exact name escapes me, the best Thin Lizzy album I had on tape was 'Johnny the Fox' or something similar. One of those you wish you had bought the record.

    I'm sure we all know a 'Gareth' - mid twenties, lives with his parents, an unhealthy interest in militaria, probably gay but doesn't know it yet and frightened of women. Will almost certainly climb to a middle management position and go no further.

    Great script and frighteningly intuitive characterisation.

    The TA is our part-time army, comprising civilians who train a few times a year for a bit of money and some time off work. The regular forces describe them as 'weekend warriors'. The TA does however get sent to nasty places such as Iraq, to perform support roles. My old History teacher was an Captain in the TA, and I think he only did it for the uniform and to handle a big weapon from time to time. The regular army is being scaled down in size whilst the TA is getting larger - a reflection of our Government's desire to spend less on the military whilst maintaining a body of available man(and women)power for human scale conflicts of the sort likely to occur in the forseeable future.

    For another good comedy, check out 'The Royle Family'.

    The original Album had a poster of all the ladies too. I've still got mine, and if you like 'proper' women you will understand how it kept many a spotty youth entertained years ago!

    The tale about the bike company not wanting the bikes back is true apparently. Something to do with thin leather saddles and .....oh god, here we go again....!!!

    The amazing thing about Blackadder is the collection of actors. Probably the greatest assembly of British comedians ever in my opinion.

    If you like Blackadder, check out 'The Young Ones' and 'Bottom/Hotel Paradiso' (Ric Mayall, who plays 'Flash'), and anything with Stephen Fry. Stephen Fry is a latter day Oscar Wilde.

    Shove-piggy-shove anybody?

    Regards
