    A bit like me then being a fell runner and respecting other fell runners

    (That said I respect non-probrexit-y, non-Nigel Farag-y, non-Boris junta loving-y, non-coronavirus denying-y and non-climate change denying-y fell runners best)

    don't you mean probrexit, proNigel Farage, proBoris, anti-corona and climate change denial sceptics?
    I think I'm going to call myself an anti-coronavirus sceptic from now on.

    Haha I think I confused myself with my "nons" but you hopefully can read between the lines

    I always used to think it was strange that the head of a university would be called a Pro Vice Chancellor.
    I mean, I'm all for vice, but wouldn't want it in my job title.

    No, the head of a university is just the vice-chancellor. Below him/her there is a deputy vice-chancellor, and then (at Loughborough) three pro-vice-chancellors, one for research, one for teaching, and one for enterprise. It is important to promote vice in every aspect of the university's work.

    In view of the recent adoration of Astral Weeks on here, and not for the first time either, I actually sat down and listened to it all yesterday. Every track, in its entirety, in the correct order.

    Whilst the music was quite pleasant, and the guitar and flute was good, the vocals and lyrics ruined it for me. Unless they take the vocals off it, to make an instrumental version, I won't be listening to it again.

    I gather it wasn't that well received when it was released in 1968. Had I had been a music-buying youngster in 1968, rather than 1978, I wouldn't have bought it; not when I could have bought A saucerful of secrets, Waiting for the sun, Electric Ladyland, Beggars banquet or possibly Bookends or In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida instead.

    Mmmh. I am relieved to note that I have certainly never bought any of those, I don't think I have ever listened to them and I am not absolutely sure who recorded some of them.

    Now - early Neil Young, Randy Newman, Dylan - obviously, Paddy McAloon, Gene Clark, (some)Bruce Hornsby,... I will wager Van Morrison listens to them!

    New restrictions are apparently vital. But apparently not until Monday.
