half time

the first real chance for north end and we have 90 seconds of the first half to go... the cross dribbles to the goalkeeper

they need to get at least one or it's the playoffs for the tenth time (and never won one)

oh heavens...

maxine brown - gotta find a way

play it backwards to go forwards

and there's a goal at stadium mk...

he looks like a referee doesn't he mr stroud. it's the centre half what's his name your mate...

they've not lost in the league since crawley away. an excellent dink to the byline. he's a very cultured passer. that could've gone anywhere...

lloyd and glen - keep on pushing

seasoning

here it's hardening off the artichokes and hoping they think all this cold and bluster is winter not spring. the sleet yesterday should've helped. and the ice the other morning. and the hail clattering down right now. ahhhh spring...

mysterious mysteries

more lost treasures this time something that'd gone and got stuck behind a pile of lps since the day it got bought... well i say bought really i mean unwrapped what with it being part of the ace pile of singles the lovely folk in sounds of the universe sorted out for my dear old dad to get me for a birthday a few years back an ace pile of rocksteady singles... this has drum song by sound dimension on the other side and i was expecting some version version on this blank one but oh such a joyous suprise... now i'm guesssing it's called lullaby angel and half of that singing is lovely alton ellis and i know there are alton and eddie records so i'm going with the other singer being eddie. eddie who i don't know. i could look it up i know but i like the mystery and the guessing and knowing for sure won't make it any more fantastic knowing more about records very rarely does like knowing proper lyrics or pretty much anything else that's not in the grooves... apart from all those ones where knowing stuff leads you to all manner of new wonders...

alton and eddie - lullaby angel
