Temporary temptation

I succumbed to my bi-annual demon today.
Having popped into town to do some truly glamorous shopping* and get a hair cut, I was in need of sustenance and ran into an age old enemy when it comes to luncheon … indecision.
Well I could pop into one of the million sandwich shops that litter St Helier [...]

6 – 0 … against

Because the world really needed a singing Egyptian crocodile from Germany …

It never ceases to amaze me, the sheer quantity of pap music that comes out of Europe. By Europe I mean pretty much everywhere but the UK which is still hanging on (just about) to a proud musical heritage that brought the world The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, The Cliff Richard … erm … [...]
