I looked in on a guitar shop on my travels yesterday that I haven't been in for 25 years. I used to live around there when I was in a band. I was amazed it's still there, and I recognised the owner too. Well..it would have been rude to come out...
Why is it that hairdressers in the UK and Ireland nearly always use ridiculous puns for the names of their shops? It's always something like "A Cut Above" or "Heads You Win". I've even seen "Curl up and Dye". Do they do this is in other...

Almost November and I don't think I've seen a single ad on the telly for Christmas stuff. Even the shops are holding back. Have they listened to us at last?Tony
I have been wondering about my visits to Amazon that usually result in me buying CD's used for very little cash. If I buy a new CD it will be because it's a new release, and again I'll shop for a good price. I'm still amazed that people go to HMV or...

Is it me or does Tezza's new book jacket look like he's either been made up for 'The Mikado' or even worse, dare I say it, a cadaver, with Max Factor slapped on a bit heavy like for the grand exit. Also has someone removed his neck? Comments on a...
