A routine blood test with PSA check showing elevated levels turned out to be a great indicator of prostate cancer in my case. Like you say, so what if there are some false positives, people are better in the system where they can move on to the next levels of checks to rule cancer in/out. It...

There was some analysis on the BBC last week that actually proved that we are not all imagining this. Can't remember the categories but historical data does show that things like adverts, shop displays and other Christmas paraphernalia does indeed start earlier year on year. Christmas is great...

I've listened to a bit of Led Zeppelin, thanks to comments and prompts on the various music threads on here, and I thought now was a good time to dig deeper. So I've Just started reading When Giants Walked The Earth by Mick Wall.

Love them both, definitely would have been worthy of the final but California Dreamin' for me.

It’s not too late. This playlist will be running until Tuesday when we’ll switch over to the next playlist. When we move to the two-week cycle, it will be like the current playlist - first week will be building and discussing, second week just listening and discussing.

American Man by The Yawpers (I think that this was before your time).

Yes, I love the way he did his version of the French Revolution, also weaving in a version of the Luddites, in the Age of Madness series. And, of course, it was good to see the return of a few old faces.

I agree with this approach. Too much of a good thing can spoil it. I always like to breaks books in a series up with other reads.

Glad you enjoyed the series. And now you can probably see why I say that Scott Lynch’s The Lies of Locke Lamora is the best single book I have ever read, but Joe Abercrombie is bar far my favourite author. As you have picked out, his characters are superb - even the bit-part players. As...

Oooof! Two great songs. One has to go.

Should always have a preliminary round to reduce the number of songs to 128 on the first pass. BlueHammer runs a superb competition but this is the one thing that’s niggled me both times. I think he secretly enjoys the meltdown when a song that’s come so far goes out without kicking a ball...

Had my last radiotherapy session today. Everything feels good,no obvious side effects so far, apart from slightly loose bowels which is probably down to the daily micro enema I’ve been having to take! The radiologists at The Christie Private Care have been superb and my treatment in general has...

I’ve seen Crowded House live several times but only once in their original trio format. The chemistry between Neil Finn, Nick Seymour and the late Paul Hester was superb, both in their playing and between-song banter. Before the concert at the Apollo in March 1992, I met the three of them at an...
