There is more than one kind of eejit. There is the Bit of an Eejit. That’s someone you’d pity more than mock. “Ah God help him, he’s a bit of an eejit,” you’d say with a sympathetic tone in your voice. Then there’s your Common or Garden Eejit. “Don’t mind that eejit,” you’d say dismissively. … Continue reading A&E again, this time because I suffer from CFES (Complete Feckin’ Eejit Syndrome)
EXCLUSIVE! I have been given a sneak preview of the new, election radio schedule for – I can’t say which station. You’ll have to guess. This is it: 7.00-9.00 am People making promises they have absolutely no intention of keeping. There’s a prize for the most outrageous promise.

And despite missing five through illness at the latter end of last year, I’m still buying tickets. Fleetwood Mac National … Continue reading And now – the best 60 gigs I’ve ever been at. (At least the best of the ones I remember being at.)
