I did six when John Terry missed that penalty.

That's history. And we all know Terry was a Red supporter as a kid.

I never knew that. I thought he was Chelsea through and through.

Good stuff!

If they decide to make a biopic about Otway then Bill nighy would have the play the title role. There's no other way.

Nighy plays a rock star in Clement & La Frenais' movie, "Still Crazy". Highly recommend it, Gordon, if you've not seen it. Loads of fun.

Nighy's a huge Dylan fan, bordering on the obsessive:

Another of his obsessions is going on in his head, and in mine - Bob Dylan. Though we are upstairs in the green room of someone else's photography studio, it is his music we are listening to. He always has his own with him and it is nearly always Dylan. The actor listens to the singer every day.

I haven't seen "Still Crazy" or "The Boat..." (I wanted to watch that but our stupid cinemas only showed it for one or two weeks) yet. But I've seen "Love Actually" (the less said about this film the better) and he played a rock star in that as well.

I suggested Nighy to play Otway because of the similarities in the physical presence. I didn't know Nighy has an above average affinity to rock music.That makes this choice even more obvious.

Gordon, I suggest you rent/buy "Still Crazy" immediately. You won't be disappointed. :D

This is fun so far, if you fancy hearing a lot of interesting new bands/singers you're probably not familiar with - unless you're already a "finger on the pulse" person, that is.

The Von Pip Musical Express Top 20 Albums Of The Year 2013

Da Capo by Love. It really is an incredible album. Often overshadowed by Forever Changes it has the fantastic "Stephanie knows who", "Orange skies" - oh it's all so wonderful. If you don't know it give it a try.

"She comes in colours!" Amazing!!!

Listening to The Unthanks. I had previously decided I didn't like them (many years ago) but gave them another try a couple of days ago and realise I'd made a terrible mistake!
