  • Hey Jude- F**king hell

    I have to admit I am a bit skeptical about this story. Not so much about the words that were uttered, but more to who uttered them. I was listening to a golden oldie show earlier this week. The presenter mentioned a bit of trivia in relation to the famous Beatles song, “Hey Jude” arrogant

  • Friday the 13th has long been regarded as an ominous date associated with bad luck. Its infamy is so widespread that it has inspired phobias like paraskevidekatriaphobia (the fear of Friday the 13th) and countless cultural references, including books and movies.

  • On November 27 1936, the movie ‘Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor’ was released. The movie has brought me quite a bit of childhood trauma. It was used to facilitate a lie. I was told that if I would follow the diet of Popeye I too would get his superhuman powers. But I never

    Today is the 81st birthday of David Jason, known for TV series like ‘ A touch of Frost; Porridge; Open all Houra’ but also for his voice in the 1989 film adaption of The BfG and many other movies and TV Shows. However the part that will always be associated with him is the part

  • Genesis- the Singers.

    This is a slight deviation from my usual blogs. Because music has always played a major role in my life. It is nice to acknowledge that every once in a while. When you think of classic Rock bands, Genesis is usually not a band which springs to mind, strange in a way because that is
