Milton Jones & Paul Karensa, Norwich Playhouse, 17th November 2009 Milton Jones is a punner. He likes word play and his set consists of over an hour of pun after pun after pun, delivered so quickly that I couldn’t take any notes. I’ve heard him on the radio over the years and thought that he might be hard work if he were given a long slot, but I was wrong. Jones’ puns and word...

So last night I played 5-a-side and coughed up half the contents of my lungs into my mouth.

Whilst on twitter I came across Paul Carr , who I considered unfollowing but thought I'd read his blog and give him a final chance at redemption. I'm glad I did. Especially...

It was a dark and stormy night. The wind was at gale force and the rain lashing down so hard it bounced off the floor as it hit and reached back up into the heavens. And we were booked at the Carn Brea Castle Restaurant, one of the highest points in Cornwall, to go for a meal with friends. As we arrived, the wind whipped around our bodies, trying to carry us away with it, but we were having none of...

I'm aware I've been a bit slack at posting in the last few months. Life gets in the way of these things from time to time....

If anybody wants to contribute any records to the blog feel free to drop me a line. I've been somewhat immersed in music of Cornwall of late, partly...

Break cakes John Harland introduced me to a well-known term among British and Australian seafarers: tabnabs . They are snacks such as cakes or fancy biscuits that are served during morning or afternoon tea breaks among seafarers and crews of North Sea oil rigs. Nobody seems to know where the term comes from. All I have learned is that the Oxford English Dictionary records it from the 1930s and that...
