I always wanted to work in television as it was a medium that fascinated me growing up. I dreamt of directing, but I slept with the wrong people and ended up in the sound dept! I can’t complain, I get to travel the world, meet some interesting people and stick microphones on them. I like being...

It has to be Velvet Underground for me personally. Not only were they absolutely different to anyone else at the time, they also influenced many of my favourite acts…Bowie, Talking Heads, Iggy, The Fall, even Belle and Sebastian, to mention a few.

I listened to it for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I can see it being on my turntable for the next couple of weeks, as Mill Hill alluded to, it’s a grower. Musically it’s very interesting.

Thanks Mart. Everything that you’ve said resounds with me. I’ve never been bitter about it, but you are right, stealing a bit of your soul is a very good way to put it. The pain is unimaginable until it happens to someone that you love, I’d have done anything to stop the pain that she went...

I lost my wife almost three years ago, also to bowel cancer. It’s a hideous disease and I can’t help but think back to the early days of my wife’s diagnosis, the emotions we had and the hope we tried to give ourselves that maybe it would turn out ok. My thoughts are with anyone going through...

Roksan turntable Audiolab 6000 amp DALI speakers Yard Act “Where’s my Utopia?” It sounds amazing.

Enjoy…you’ll have a great evening. I saw them play last year and they were absolutely amazing.

I’ve stayed in Groningen, it’s a bit more chilled with a sandy beach and easy transport links to The Hague. It was a welcome escape after 4 nights in Amsterdam!

I used to feel the same way, I worried that I lacked emotion and couldn’t cry at all. Then my wife became ill and died 3 years ago. Since then I find that I’ll cry at all sorts of things. I don’t think it means that I’m not coping ok, it has just made me a more sensitive soul. I’m probably a...

Carolyn’s Fingers for me too.

You can’t beat a beige trench coat!

I know, I’m so chilled about most aspects of life. I blame Lynne Truss, I should never have read that book.

Yes that’s fine, in that case you can claim to have been sat at the table. If on the other hand the waiter waved in the direction of some tables you could only be sitting at the table.

They are both examples of bad grammar. It is correct to say, “I was stood at the bus stop” — but only if someone picked you up physically, walked you to the bus stop, placed you down and stood you there. It is fine to say, “We were sat at the table in the restaurant” — but only if the waiter...

I hate it when people say sat instead of sitting as in “we were sat on a bench” and yes the old favourite stood as in “he was just stood there” rather than standing there. That really winds me up.

I’d stick with Akpom. His 29 goals were invaluable to us. I like Archer as a striker, but there are other players that could go the same job. Chuba is a massive part of the way we play, it would be very difficult to find someone similar.

I’ll stick with my Toyota hybrid for now.

Stone Roses..She bangs the drums.

Love Arsenal…they were my late wife’s favourite team, I’ll always have a soft spot for them. Like Bristol Rovers…they were my Dad’s team. Follow Brighton…that where I live now.

I’ve been vegetarian since the mad cow disease outbreak in the 80’s. It’s far easier to be veggie now than back then, there are so many good products available. I’m lucky that the city I live in is very veggie/vegan friendly when it comes to places to eat. As others have said…veganism would be...
