I just watched a RockTails podcast in which Ahmet Zappa claims in no uncertain terms that Chucky Big Ears (then "Prince of Wales") touched him on the tallywhacker. And if that's not grounds for abolishing the monarchy I dunno what the fuck is.

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue is a subject on Mastermind. If only Samantha would help me bone up in the archives.

I have been plagiarized in this here article. Hey. Ash Sarkar, where is my credit for outstanding service to J Austen criticism? www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

This evening I are mostly listening to B B King Live at the Regal which I got in a chazza for 20p. CBM sez chekitout www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl9t...

Music and Art show by Jon Langford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Friday February 7, 7pm La Luz de Jesus Gallery 4633 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA Benefit for L.A. food relief. #WelshMusicUSA

I bought a David Bowie CD today in a chazza. It is the first Dave album I have ever owned. Hint:- it doesn't have his masterpiece "Laughing Gnome" on it.

The chippy next to the Star Inn in Ponthir done changed its name to The Star Chip Enterprise.

I am reading a book by Chris Blackwell and it occurs to me that I have never knowingly met a Mod. Every other page it is "they were a Mod band called The Sumps and then they took LDS and grew their hair out and became rainPudding"...I'm gonna start being a Mod Denier methinks.

With the death of Winged Eel "Elliot Ingber" Fingerling, the last surviving "Freak Out" Mother is Roy Estrada. He is currently in prison for being a pedo. Maybe Trump will free him tho....

Nude for Satan If I had a band I'd call it that

I can find nothing online about the time Brookside did a Twin Peaks homage by having their Leo Johnson do the exact same thing as Leo "New Shoes" Johnson, i.e. sneak food to a nutty hermit in a wood. Peaks was riffing on Frankenstein.

Farewell David Lynch. Why do they always take the good ones? Why don't they take the cheese bloke out of Blur? youtu.be/g3Wz9elknbs

Happy Ivor and the Captain day. I've started with A Stuggy Pren.

I just read CJ Tudor "The Gathering" in which the Woke Brigade have ensured that vampires live alongside humans as a logical extension of political correctness. When push comes to shove it all goes pear shaped. Let that be a lesson to PC types out there.

I have a memory of Alexei Sayle and Lenny Henry doing a spoof drama called "Two Unemployed Blokes Wandering About" though 0 results when I search. Has any other reader had a similar experience?

I just figured that Jor-El fired Krypto into space in 1955. So when the Russians sent a dog up in 1957, the furry hatted bastards were ripping off a Superboy comic

Listening to Residents Eskimo on ear goggles while out in snow. Recommended.

Great charity shop finds of our time:- a Marvel bobble hat ("should it be worn with a DC t-shirt?" the man who sold me it asked)

FIRST CHAZZA NUTTER SPOTTING OF NOO YR> In the British Heart Foundation of Cwmbran:- a man was putting the DVDs in alphabetical order, and complaining to anyone in earshot that this had not been done already. I hope he doesn't intend to do this every bloody where.

The first sighting of the traditional new year's day abandoned shoes. Newport, 9.20 am approx

Walking down the road today with a carrier bag and "Carry Bag Man" by The Fall issued forth from my ear goggles. It occurred to me that it shoulda been a video, MES scurrying aound fat arsed workmen etc., standing out in stark contrast to opulent MTV fare.

Remembering the man born on this day and his message of joy to the world youtu.be/L_OZLYru9Lc

In odd finds on YouTube - One Fine Day (1979) youtu.be/il-rYX5T0jE?... Dave Allen (yes, that Dave Allen) plays a melancholic estate agent tasked with selling an office block that has been on the market for a year, he camps out in it, high jinks ensue. By Alan Bennet, directed by Stephen Frears

Great chazza finds of our time. Billy Boy n Groundhogs 25p youtu.be/cI-UaGH-R-g

This is as festive as I intend ta get. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0XR...

Festive Bhajis? That's right the Mascara Snake. Is this phase one of the return of Colin B Morton? www.perfectsoundforever.com
