The Train Kept A Rolling: The trip to see Motorhead in Plymouth last Wednesday was a delight. Bearing in mind the new advert on TV asking us to drive 5 miles a week less to cut down on the CO2 emissions, we met them half way with Mrs. B dropping me off 2.5 miles closer to home at our doorstep station of Hamworthy Junction for the 12.42, rather than from the main station in Poole. At Dorchester South...

Where did it go? Our 30 th wedding anniversary looms – next week (it’s Pearl since you’re asking) - and MTL asked what I’d like to do. I wondered if we had had too much excitement recently and perhaps we should have a quiet night in. I gave it serious thought – for a whole 30 seconds - and then thought what I’d really, really like to do. Two things I miss –...
Good King Hal studies the situations vacant in the Tudor Times as a brazen young alcoholic indulges in some serious turps-nudging. Ah, a delightful rain filled gale blowing morning of greyness almost unparalleled. And here I was up bright and early and off to Taunton for yet another appearance on Emma Britton's wonderful Have Your Say show on BBC Somerset. I sailed through the rain flecked streets...

It's a fact of life that sportsmen, no doubt pressured by their agents, focus more than ever before on their bank balances rather than their clubs. Employment laws have given the 'employee' far more power, with contracts worth very little. As money has poured into English football, the notion of one-club players has pretty much passed into history. Will the same happen to cricket? This summer saw the...

Here’s an experiment: on the way back to Somerset from a tasting (ooh look there’s Newbury dashing past), I decide I want a drink with my packet of crisps. Arkells 3B, Strongbow, Carlsberg or Guinness? What a choice, and all in cans. I plump for the latter, I haven’t drunk it out of a can for years and recently have been enjoying the odd pint at various rugby clubs as I follow my...
As England's squad head off for South Africa, they leave behind an unusual flurry of county transfer activity and this time it's mostly about wicketkeepers. New Surrey signing Stephen Davies will be on the plane with Strauss and co, understudying Matt Prior but his departure from Worcestershire has prompted a game of musical chairs. Gloucestershire unceremoniously dumped Steve Adshead and have now...
Here's Martha with news of tonight's Newsnight & Newsnight Review: European summits ain't what they used to be. I have fond memories of the Nice Treaty. Not its political significance, you understand, but the magnificent buffet provided by our French hosts. Nowadays the poor journalists and ministers all go to the Justus Lipsius building in Brussels which is, of course, much more efficient but...
