Driving home on Thursday I couldn't get a radio signal so ended up re tuning to Radio Two and to my surprise the first tune I heard was the Upsetters `Dig Your Grave' before the programme changed to a soul show with a smattering of reggae, Junior Murvin's `Cool Out Son' and Junior Gong's `Welcome To Jamrock.'  |

The soul show was presented by one of the Fun Loving Criminals, and I could see why it seemed like a soul show but it also included the Faces and Hall & Oates so more of a personal choice thing.
And the Upsetters cut was `High Plains Drifter' which I'm sure you know is basically an alternate take of `Dig Your Grave'.

Not on TV, so please excuse me, but I was in a large Boots (the chemist) shop last weekend in Mell Square, Solihull, and for some reason one of the perfume counters had a small PA speaker plugged in and playing a cool dub track reasonably loud. It was pleasant and quite surreal in equal measure

+1/ Reminds me of the time, 17 years ago, when I popped into a Harry & Davids, the then-missus worked at. Couldn't believe it, when I heard "Fire Coal Man", by the Wailings Souls, being played, on the PA, for the entire mall!

The day I bought that single (on Banana and mis-credited to the Classics) was a sad day for me, as it was the day that that Arsenal beat Liverpool in the FA Cup Final in 1971 ( the sods won the double that year as well *grrr*)

It was neck and neck in the league with us and in April we beat them 1-0 but sadly they scraped through

A young fellow, popped into the senior centre, the other day, to pick up, his grandpa, wearing an Arsenal home jersey. I had to heckle him, which took him by surprise. I should've kept calm, and faked a British accent, and maybe, he'd pissed himself! 
Also, after reading about the Trotters, of Bolton, being relegated to the Third Division.....It's nice to know, they're keep in form, with how it were, 45 years ago.....QPR, as well.....

They seem to be making progress. The whole deal with Reebok, shot their wad. They tried to compete, with the London clubs, & Man U, and it cost them, dearly. I was happy, just having them in the Premier, longer than anyone else. The relegations, weren't nice, to see....But, they were expected. The worst thing, for me, was seeing BIG Sam, as manager of Blackburn. Yeck! At least, it weren't Wolverhampton. Though, I understand, one can get a good curry, in Wolverhampton.

I haven't had a damned good (Indian)curry, in so long, I've forgotten. I did have a delicious Thai curry, 5 years ago.
Not many Thai's, or Indians, in my neck of the woods. And, "Taste of India" you get at the grocers, isn't the same, as having it, freshly made, in-house, at a family owned restaurant.
Now, I want, some Tandoori chicken, & chips!
