I see we have to suffer that hapless idiot Eddie (I hate Engand) Butler again!!!

Idlewild performed a great gig in Bristol on Wednesday as part of a small UK tour. If you get a chance to see them I'd recommend it - they are brilliant live. They played the following set: Too Long Awake Younger Than America Readers & Writers Make Another World No Emotion A Ghost In The...

Tomorrow (Friday 18th December) marks a sad day in BBC 2 radio broadcasting as Terry Wogan finally hangs up his morning microphone. Mornings will never be the same without the show's gentle humour, brought mostly, it has to be said, by his listeners, a legion of loyal TOGS (Terry's old gits)...

A friend of mine is currently taking part in DecaIron down in Mexico. That's 10 iron man events in 10 days! (He was 5th after day 4 - yesterday) Hearing tales of great heroism from this brave hero recently led me to reminisce upon one of the finest toys of my childhood. (tenuous link!) It was...

Sorry if this has been posted before. Must admit I was a bit sceptical about Aha touring again, but after hearing their new single - Foot of the Mountain, it appears they can still knock out a decent tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF_K3hxi3Yk

Is anyone going to see the Eagles? I saw them in Birmingham on wednesday and thought they were amazing. I've waited over 30 years to see them and they didn't disappoint. Don Henly and Joe Walsh were simply outstanding. I'd certainly recommend this gig as one of the best I've ever seen.

“Hmmm quite fetching!" was the unequivocal verdict from big sis’ as I paraded a pair of new grey nylon slacks, striped brown and red shirt, and a brown striped sweater to complete the ensemble. The new term was about to begin at college. Yes those girls would definitely sit up and take...

Does anyone else on here watch Masterchef? It's all about people wanting to quit their jobs as Barristers, Accountants, Carpenters etc. all driven by an insatiable desire to slave over a hot stove for hours on end. Are they all mad? This week one chap poured some sauce from a bottle onto a...

For anyone who is interested in reading about Brian Clough I would recommend the book - Provided you don't kiss me - 20 years with Brian Clough. The book was written by a Nottingham sports journalist and gives a very revealing insight into his triumphs and his eventual descent into alcoholism...

I am trying to record some of my old vinyl records onto my pc. I have some software called MAGIX audio and I believe I have the correct cables etc. but I don't seem to be able to record anything other than a buzzing noise which suggests I have not plugged the cable from the hi fi into the pc...

Video player has just about had it and am thinking about entering into the new age of DVD and Hard Drive recorders. I would be grateful for any advice before I get lumbered with the saturday worker at Currys tomorrow. I don't have Sky plus Cheers

I am trying to access a certain web-site (rugby) and when I click on a link to it, my internet explorer exits. I can access the site from other pcs but not my own. Has anyone experienced something similar? and/or know a solution? Cheers

My son's laptop seems to have been infected with viruses and spyware software and is running very slowly as a result, it even hangs when scanning the laptop with anti-virus mcafee software. I am thinking of removing some programs to free up some space and hopefully this will enable the...

It's official - it's now legal (from 8 December 2006) in the UK to use the iTrip and other low-range FM transmitters to send songs from your MP3 player to a radio. The once banned products can now not only be sold over here but connected to iPods without the owner being nabbed by engineers...
