lost live audio coverage? Mine just seems to revert to the same 30 seconds of commentary. I didn't hear the second goal at all.

Erwin James, a very nice and good man and Frank Farian, neither.

Last couple of games the BBC Tees coverage has dropped out. Same today, then Hartlepool coverage came on. Anyone else had/having similar experience?

I was never the biggest Magnum fan, but I saw them a few times and they were good live. Clarkin was a very good guitarist and songwriter. I think they've just finished recording their latest album. RIP

I expected it to be a well written and intelligent read, but I've been blown away by the depth of emotion in it. His section about taking his mother to revisit Bergen Belsen and the memory it invokes in her was astonishing. I still don't think I'm willing to pay 90 quid to hear him read it out...

Co host on this weekend"s Iggy Pop show is Tom Waits. Get In!

It seems the only threads I start these days are RIP ones. I worked with Haydn on "Women on the Verge..." She was absolutely lovely to work with. RIP indeed.

One of the world's finest voices in a band that taught me how to listen to music. Very sad.

Not being in a position to recommend beer I'll put on half of WeeGord's hat and start with a track by the band I'm going to see tomorrow. One of my favourite live acts over the past few years.

Just heard on the news he's died. Always liked his guitar playing. Maybe a bit of Whitesnake to add to my weekend listening.

I listened to this earlier, and thought it might engage you for half an hour. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001l97r

I've just had a friend had to drop out of this gig, so if anyone fancies a night of Teesside folk singing drop me a private message on here.

Being washed ashore. I hope it's investigated thoroughly. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/29/dead-shellfish-north-east-england-coast-yorkshire

If you enjoy a family drama, a superhero film, an action movie and even a musical let me point you in the direction of "RRR" on Netflix. This has been on my "should watch" list for months and I finally managed it the other night. It is magnificent in the scale of its bonkersness, style and...

Inspired by 1finny's entry on the "the greatest" thread I wondered what is the greatest thing I've ever done. The thing that still makes me smile the most was bumping into two Japanese tourists in a pub in London who were having trouble understanding the menu, inviting them to join us (me and a...

BBC2 schedule for after 9 tonight. Thought it might be up your street. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/guide/bbctwo/20230121

I haven't managed to listen to any of this yet, but it certainly has me intrigued. Some great songwriters and performers involved. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/09/song-of-a-gp-folk-musicians-tell-stories-of-modern-british-lives-for-bbc
