I don't know why they don't re-name the BBC to 'Titmarsh TV'...and women have the cheek to complain theres to much football on!

Cliff, there is too much football on TV!! Doesn't anyone watch the excellent 'Teachers' on Channel 4 on Wednesday?

Off to Edinburgh now, body armour check, cattle prod check, case of Superlager check. That should cover all eventualities. See you tonight.

Yep Dave Tvs certainly looking up now I watch CSI every night, and 24 on sundays 6 hours a week ...

Dave's right, Teachers is ace, best thing on telly right now - apart from Soccer AM of course, eh Dave?☺

Teachers? SOOOOoooo true to life. If only.

CSI is brilliant though. Do you think Grisham has got something wrong with his legs? And isnt the DNA bloke nice? And which of the girls do you like best? Isn't it only on on Saturdays? And why have they shortened the title music?

Just recieved an interesting e-mail from an Albion/Ramones & Undertones friend:.....'Hi Cliff, how's things? Dunno about you but can't wait for sunday. Just got back from the states, two weeks in orlando but on the way home had a long layover in Newark Airport NJ. Decided to take the opportunity to nip into NYC for 5 hours and take a look around some punk places of interest. Went to CBGB and met Hilly Kristal (owner) who allowed us in even though they were closed, to take photo's which was really cool. I had my photo taken on stage where Joey would have stood many times. Went to see the brick wall that provided the backdrop for the Ramones first album cover photo, but to top it all I visited Arturo Vega, the Ramones Creative/artistic Director who designed the eagle logo and all their official Tee shirts. If you listen to the words of 'Chinese Rock' you will hear Joey sing 'hey, hey is Arty home?', this is the guy we met.

.......Arturo was a really nice guy who invited me and my family in to see his loft in which he shared with Joey and Dee Dee for some time. The Ramones also signed their first record deal there too and with Dee Dee's paintings adorning the walls it was a great occasion for me and something I'll never forget. All of the bands' previous members (Joey was probably there in spirit) were at the loft a few weeks ago getting ready for the Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame induction ceremony (richly deserved but very un-punk). Arturo showed us around and let us take photo's, then he got out some more of Dee Dee's paintings and told a few of the stories behind them. Sorry about this rambling but I'm still buzzing from it all and I know of few people who could possibly appreciate how momentous this was for me. Come on you Baggies!!!!

I wish they would Andreas, I was there a couple of years ago...lovely place.(mermaids a bit small though).

See there is a 'new' Undertones single available on e-bay - 'Get over IT!'

Just back from a night out with Donald and Alex, after the first Edinburgh showing - oh yeah, Vinny and Damian were there too! An amazing 230 filmgoers at 6.15 pm! Only 50 empty seats. A nice big screen presented my first viewing of the film, and it is just fab. Really enjoyed it and look forward to going again on Saturday. V/D (!) took questions for 45 minutes, and both were on good form. This site got a mention, and D provided some snippets of what might happen soon regarding recordings and dates. Will supply more details later as I have to dash, cos there are rumours that D is going to join a local band on stage tonight...
