AH Back in 1989 I was living in London stage-managing a show about Spike Milligan. I was house-sitting a flat in Holland Park for a BBC sound engineer and he had reams of Jam stuff on tape from a documentary he worked in. Every morning I set off for rehearsals with my walkman full of thumping Jam toons. Now, whenever I hear the Jam I feel myself back in London and Strange Town just sums up how I felt about the place. |

Incidentally after The Skids broke up, Richard Jobson formed a band called the Armoury Show. I think I was about the only person who bought the album (apart from the 10,000 Jobson probably bought himself). I just stumbled on them on youtube. Judge for yourself.

SWL, there was a reason why I didn't buy the Armoury Show's album at the time, and the reason was that they were shite.

What a cool day! I spent the morning sitting in the Domestic Abuse Court observing stuff - and had some serious thoughts about it all that will no doubt come out on some future thread. Then I met my Mum for lunch. I've not seen her since the Christmas peado fallout, so it was a bit tense, but she just sat and talked about her grandchildren (my neices and nephews) to the point of screaming boredom, so I had to have one large and one small glass of wine to cope. Then I popped back into the office, slagged off my colleagues, did my diary and came home, all with the sun shining. I changed the playlist on my iPod to pure cheese and listened to the following feelgood (but uncool) songs on the way home 'Video Killed the Radio Star' - The Lemonheads (Buggles cover) 'Music is my boyfriend' - CSS 'Sk8er boi' - Avril Lavigne 'Ain't Got no (got a life)' (live) - Nina Simone 'Oxygen' - Willy Mason 'If I had a Million Dollars' - Barenaked Ladies 'Dammit Janet' - Rocky Horrror Picture Show Soundtrack 'April Skies' - Jesus & Mary Chain Top stuff. Sun out. Wine drunk. Cheese on iPod. I feel happy.  That's verily Ooozing with Space-Hopperiness. POTW! |

AND WHAT I FORGOT TO SAY was: The sun being back out means I can once again don my vintage Raybans as I walk about the streets. When I wear my shades I just feel more in control of the world, and now the sun is back out I can have them on from now until about October. I definitely get that SAD thing, but I think not being able to wear my shades without people laughing at me during the winter definitely makes it worse. Just get a white stick and a labrador - no-one will dare to Diss you in your shades then  |

Nobody dare diss me in my shades in real life anyway, because I wear them with such attitude that mere mortals cower in my wake. |

The "Tony The Tiger" neckerchief also promotes a healthy sense of intimidation...

I can't wear sunglasses because I already wear specs and I absolutely refuse to wear those little clip on things. So when it's sunny I have to squint. I'm looking round for a pair of those great big all-in-ones that you see really old people wearing. The sort that completely cover your specs.  |

If I don't wear sunglasses in even moderate sunlight I get a blinding headache. I only wear glasses for close work but I like reading in the garden so I have prescription sunglasses. Look around at the various offers the opticians have as a lot of them offer the sunglasses at a reduced cost. |

I'm surprised "clip ons" have gone out of fashion - you rarely see them like you used to - perhaps it's because fashions ten years ago or so were so varied that they couldn't keep up. As it is now - practically every frame is the same so it would be easy!
I got so fed up with it I went to Opera Opera in Covent Garden for some round ones.
