Nothing But the Sun

Walking bus training this morning. Obvious stuff like "don't walk in the road", although the council official kept pointing out that they were doing things wrong. At one point, I thought that the woman who runs the WB was going to snap.

Interesting programme on television last night. Jarvis Cocker going through lots of dodgy old pop clips. The usual things that all would class as dodgy; Leo Sayer in a duet with a blue-haired Gary Numan, Pete Murray doing mad, military-style dancing, Peter Glaze singing Bowie's heroes etc. Jarvis met Sir Jimmy Savile (thankfully, still insane) and proceded his visit with an old clip of Savile chasing women round a tree in Benny Hill style. I was also pleased to see, although only briefly, a clip of the Moody Blues singing 'Ride my See-saw' with their very peculiar late 60s backing vocalist. Also featured was 1950s pop tv producer turned monk Jack Good. Also totally, totally mad.
Jim!
It's that man again.
