Me after my kids are well beyond four: I wish the kids were four again. I'll watch it anyway with the dog.

What a great book. The Black Cloud is my favourite of his. Lots of boffins talking about the end of the world, while the end of the world happens.

Goodness me. I'd forgotten about these. Eons ago on a masters course we were looking at modern ongoing series for young adults. I read a few SVH but in the end wrote about the Animorphs books. Apart from that, I remember nothing about the books or what I wrote about!

My old Masters course in Children's Literature at Reading University got closed down (by the uni) this academic year because the university put the fees up so high it made it unaffordable for students. I felt both sad and baffled about such a daft decisions/s.

I might be totally wrong but I recall a mention somewhere that it was the site of a brewery - either the brewery itself or its offices.

I 'think' some scenes for The Invasion were filmed in Wallingford. It was just one day and was for a roof shot of International Electromatics factory.

This is done by Richard Moore who has lovingly restored and released Peter Skellern recordings over several Kickstarter projects. The fact he is involved makes this project top notch backable.

Went to the pictures this afternoon to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. I did see it on its original release and I must seen it 427 times since. If any film deserves 'classic' attached to it, this one does. There are a few plot holes, but when something is this good, who cares!?

Who says they had a rubbish a week at work this week? Almost everyone? Cheer up, it could be worse – you could be one of the crew of Moonbase Alpha, who on this day in 1999, found that the stockpiles of nuclear waste, inconveniently dumped just outside their place of work

Ludwig, series 2. Argh! I really enjoy this programme - funny, clever and a great premise. But...with the establishment cover up it feels like it's boxed itself into a corner and has to keep adding to the conspiracy to keep up the momentum. I don't think Ludwig needs it though.

Vigil series 3 is very good nonsense and totally daft. It would be improved a hundred fold with the discovery of two pods.

I'll gudgeonly admit the greatness of that pun.

I always felt side 2 suffers because side 1 is so good. The only song that lets side 2 down for me is Kingdom Come, despite me being a huge Tom Verlaine fan. But Bowie doing Verlaine is still great. Though I do feel Teenage Wildlife is my favourite on the album. Can't believe its 46 years old.

I bought New York Dolls in about 1982. It's still in remarkably good shape. Favourite track is Lonely Planet Boy, but Frankenstein is extraordinary. Inner sleeve from WH Smiths.

Still packs a mean punch - Wreck of the 809 is some song.

Lime marmalade is £2.70 but a store brand of normal marmalade is anything between £1.10 ans £1.85. These are the weekly dilemmas!

Bruce Nicholson @frontiervinyl.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The 'only' two downsides are that at least twice as much lime marmalade is put on my toast as normal marmalade, so it doesn't last as long. And it's more than twice as expensive as (say) Tescos normal marmalade.

Lime marmalade is peak marmalade. I

I could be totally wrong on some details. Liverpool played Bayern Munich in the semi final of the European Cup. Ist leg in Bayern (maybe 1980/1 season). Bayern favourites for the tie. Dalglish got injured and gayle came on. He didn't score but ran them ragged. I have the newspaper clipping still.

Bruce Nicholson @frontiervinyl.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

He was. But from what I remember only played a handful of times in his time there - maybe only a handful.

110

Bruce Nicholson @frontiervinyl.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

King Kenny, David Fairclough, Howard Gayle and Frank McGarvey who made zero appearances. Dalglish incredibly played 60 times, as did Phils Neal and Thompson.

Bruce Nicholson @frontiervinyl.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

In unrelated news, Liverpool had 8 midfielders in 1979 (7 in 2026) and 5 strikers in 1979 (7 in 2026). Definitely working on 1979 budgets.
