    Best Ever Costume Worn In A Song

    There's a lot of haute couture worn in music videos, what is the best? So I thought I'd start with a fantastic band whose lead singer is wearing a very humble costume - the legendary bin bag. As ever, thoughts, comments, and contributions welcome.

    Maybe there's something to this exercise lark?

    Some people like the odd glass of wine, and some people like running. Combining both seems to be a good use of time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68885746

    Best Ever Wildlife Song

    Nature is a wonderful thing and so diverse. Must be quite a few songs out there about it. So I think I'll start with the following. As ever, thoughts, comments, and contributions most welcome.

    Best ever bands that are still hanging around

    Let's face it a lot of brilliant bands are in decline. However there are a few stalwarts that are continuing. So, what are the best bands ever that are still going on in one guise or another? I'll start with the following that have been going on for the last 50 years or so. As ever comments...

    Best Ever Colour Song

    Hello, What is the best ever song with a colour in the title or content? I think I'll start with one of my faves back then. As ever thoughts and contributions welcome.

    Oscar Nominated Film Presentation Event

    If anyone is into film editing and movie making there is an event in Chichester in the South East on 13th April. The Oscar nominated editor of Top Gun Maverick and Mission Impossible among others is doing a presentation that should be very interesting...

    New Kodak Super 8 Film Camera - at a price!

    Looks like Kodak have finally released their new Super 8 film camera. Takes C-mount lenses which is nice for flexibility. Super 8 film is still available (as is 16mm and 35mm movie film). Seems really cool if you like real film. The slight problem I can see with it is the launch price of...

    Best Ever Weather or Technical Songs

    I thought I'd start with a band that could be a weather phenomenon with a song that signalled a communications dream! As ever thoughts and comments welcome,

    Best Ever Motown Songs

    OK, most regular viewers may think I'm a metal head / goth and the associated sub genres, and to be fair probably not far wrong. However, while zooming long to a cave sometimes you can't beat a bit of Motown. I'll start with one of my favourite bands - The Marvelettes. As ever thoughts and...

    Best Ever Xmas Carols When You Don't Like Xmas Carols

    It's that time of year when you are constantly bombarded by nauseatingly saccharinely cheerful things like 'Jingle Bells' and so on. But what if that isn't your cup of tea and yet you are supposed be / ordered to be getting into the xmas spirit? I think there may be a solution. If someone said...

    Did You Promise Broadway Was Waiting For Me?

    If so, and didn't deliver, then: "You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last?" RIP Shane MacGowan. A great songwriter and troubled genius. Such a brilliant acidic, bitter, song with underlying romance and love. The more raw it's sung...

    Best ever most annoying songs

    Recently did a photoshoot and someone turned up in not just pink but glowing Barbie pink. Like wow. Sooo... I thought is there anything more annoying than Diggy Diggy Hole. I'll start with the following. As ever thoughts and contributions most welcome.

    New Olympus / OM System TG-7 Camera

    Looks like a replacement for the TG-6 has been announced, called the TG-7. Seems to be an evolution of the previous one, with a few extras added in.

    What to do with those pension letters?

    Despite not being old enough I'm getting those letters from people claiming to be able to sort out your pension - just give them all your money!! Having done some research to plan for the future it seems you need a couple of things in later life: a hobby and some sort of transport to get there...

    Definitions of mindless optimism?

    Came across this spec on a watch maker's website. I think this could be one of the best optimistic marketing hopes ever! I think there may be some credence to the spec: back in the day NASA secretly kicked the bejesus out of various watches to see which ones could stand the rigours of space...

    Best ever stuck in the desert song

    Well if I was travelling around and got stuck in a desert somewhere what would I listen to? I'll start with the following. As ever contributions and comments welcome.

    Best ever current government policy song

    I despair. I'll start with the loony liz anthem. You know the form.

    Pictorial History of Swildon's Hole - Covers

    I've noticed among those for sale on line that some of these 1975 books appear to have have a blue cover with gold lettering on and some have a brown cover with no gold lettering on. Does anyone know if there is there a difference in content, binding, cover material, any limited edition...

    Best things to block government twaddle

    Just before I give up and retreat to my bunker and shut the door (well OK it's really my lounge and I have all seven series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer amongst other box sets to watch as I'm on annual leave) and hope the world goes away with all the chaos I was wondering what could nicely drown...

    Are the old songs the best?

    Well, are the old songs the best? Maybe they are. This 52 year old cheerful ditty appeared after people spent a couple of weeks or so at a nice sporting event. Most people in the audience seemed to know it, which was nice. I wonder what other songs also have such popular longevity. As ever...
