Stuck Between Stations: December 2009
http://www.paulwaring.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Random and occasional musings on the good things in life - music, food and football. And some other stuff too. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Today's soundtrack: Wailing Souls - Most Wanted: Classic Cuts 1978-1984. Back to football today, in celebration of an increasingly rare event - an Everton home win! Yes, it was only Burnley, and a Burnley reduced to ten men with half an hour to go at that, but I'll take that at the moment! And a very real chance that the second half would pan out exactly the same way.

Random and occasional musings on the good things in life - music, food and football. And some other stuff too. Saturday, March 19, 2011. Paul's rules for a happy gig-going experience. These rules are my distillation of my experiences of gig-going as a fiftysomething who is now attending far more gigs than he used to, egged on admittedly by a music-mad son who likes his dad to buy his tickets for him. 1 Choose your venue with care. Preferably small, preferably standing. Standing because. 6 At festivals - ...

Gobshite's Miscellany: January 2011
http://gobshitesmiscellany.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 January 2011. The Seven Ages of Man/Woman in Popular Music: Part 3 The Lover. And so, after childhood, Shakespeare's melancholic Jacques turns his attention to adulthood and the long slow slide to death and that moment in which Beckett's Pozzo says, 'the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.'. The third age of man and wochap sees us as the heartbroken lover,. And then the lover,. Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad. Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Posted by Paddy Hoey.

Random and occasional musings on the good things in life - music, food and football. And some other stuff too. Thursday, May 05, 2011. Fun and games today at the polling station - I've just sent this email to both the local council and the Electoral Commission - locations changed to protect the innocent. My name is Paul Waring - my full postal address is [xxxxxxxxxxx]. I have lived at this address with my wife for the past ten years or so. I am therefore disappointed, and not a little concerned, that I h...

Random and occasional musings on the good things in life - music, food and football. And some other stuff too. Sunday, June 13, 2010. Today's soundtrack: Mott the Hoople - The Ballad of Mott (A Retrospective). And so it begins - the 2010 World Cup is two days old! And already I'm sick of that bloody noise, droning on and on incessantly throughout the game. But enough about Mick McCarthy. Still, good to see Messrs Donovan and Howard playing well, as did Joe Yobo and the Yak in the Argentina - Nigeria game.

Random and occasional musings on the good things in life - music, food and football. And some other stuff too. Friday, October 12, 2012. Smelly dog, smelly dog. Today's soundtrack: Various Artists - American Graffiti. So, my fortnight off work edges towards its close and - inevitably - Catholic Guilt kicked in this morning. All those things I was going to do, that hadn't yet got done - well, today was the day, I suppose. I frowned down at the dog. The dog grinned back. This is what we do! No - sadly, the...

Today's soundtrack: Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen we are Floating in Space. D'you know, it's been a long time since I've given you a recipe, so let's put that right today. As the snow descends yet again, I think we could do with a rich, winter warming casserole, do you not think? So I give you the Beef, Guinness and Prune Casserole. Chop a couple of onions and fr...

Random and occasional musings on the good things in life - music, food and football. And some other stuff too. Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Cars, Girls and Vicars. Today's soundtrack: Prefab Sprout - From Langley Park to Memphis. A couple of hours later, with world duly put to rights, creatures of the land, sea and air duly scoffed, and the bill duly paid, we went our separate ways. So tell me of this Vicar who Rocks, I hear you say. What madness is this? Be that as it may, you should all shoot off to th...
