W/C 1st September 2025The best opportunity you will ever get to prove to a customer you are the real deal (and worthy of repeat custom) is the way you behave when something isn't quite right.Good customer service should be easy, because if you think something through from the customers perspective, and you agree they have a point, then fixing it is no real headache.Five examples of that in practice this week, and pleasingly more positives than negatives, but in reality it should have been a clean

I am sat watching what can only be described as an underwater vacuum cleaner, and I can only assume that is what it is called because it's job is to vacuum up and generally clean, and it is (presently) under the water. In the pool to be pinpoint precise.Why I should be surprised at this technological development is beyond me, I nearly bought a similar looking device from the middle aisle of Lidl at the start of the year, only with the intention of never having to mow the lawn again. And I am sure

W/C 18th August 2025You may recall the debacle I talked about last time, the one where I managed to get carried away with my own technical ability and inadvertently formatted my SD card, deleting an unpublished podcast in the process.So last week, with that experience still raw, after recording TFM I reverted to the 100% tried, 100% trusted method of removing the self-same card and inserting into my desktop dock. Moments later my files were transferred, with a welcome lack of drama, and with

W/C 11th August 2025I started beating myself up yesterday, because I hadn't got anything worked out in terms of talking points for this week's TFM. In that moment (because unsurprisingly this isn't the first time it has happened) I tend to get a bit despondent, and a little bit flat, and I do question whether I should even be bothering. And yesterday evening, probably around about seven thirtyish, that was where I was at. Of course none of that is important. It isn't the reason that TFM exists, and

W/C 4th August 2025I had no idea that Trevor Horn had so much to do with this song. I have always really liked it, but it was only when the TH band played it last night at the Cropredy gig did I put two and two together. TBH even then he had to kind of say it out loud for the penny to drop.Anyway I think it's a banger and worthy of a break in the day to have a listen...the kids were really getting into, I wonder if it has had a second life on TikTok.In other news apols for this being a bit late, I

W/C 28th July 2025As you know I try and get out to go for a run on a Saturday morning.These days that means a distance of 7-8 miles, and I usually run to Coffee Boy in Huddersfield to meet Mrs S. for a beverage. I am quite happy with this arrangement, it kicks off the weekend well and I like the fact that more often than not I can arrive for the opening time of 08:30 hours, and be in the first wave of clients.Last week the opening hours changed, and it now opens at 07:30. This has caused me more

W/C 21st July 2025I will have to rely on others to make this statement definitive, but this may be my first Belinda Carlisle song choice as episode title...?!Dedicated to the right hand side of the bay window in the lounge, the one overlooking the harbour, and the hypnotic joy of idle observation. The song comes from the Real album, which was released in 1993 and is an absolute cracker - in fact I am playing the closing track Here Comes My Baby as I write these notes.I think Belinda is a little

W/C 14th July 2025What seems to be happening at the moment is that I am missing one of my walking days, pretty much without fail, every week.The running is going fine, I am up to about 35 miles per week, and last week I ran my second half marathon distance. I am just about to set off for an eight miler, and I will probably do eleven or so tomorrow.Thinking about it, it might be because I get up and run first thing, as opposed to trying to crowbar a walk into the later part of the day. Anyway,

W/C 7th July 2025There is quite a bit of excitement in the house about the new Superman movie. Jack has been looking forward to it for quite a while, and I must admit I have been a little drawn in by all the noise around it, and the fact it is dividing opinion so much.Clearly I am from the Christopher Reeve era when it comes to Superman. Another one of those magical movies that appeared at just the right point in my formative years, and was my introduction into the concept of a superhero story.As

I suppose you could say that most weeks are full of hellos and goodbyes, but on reflection this week has been built around examples that are maybe a little heavier than the norm.And apologies for fans of the original, but at this time of the morning I find the David Gray take on this song a little more in keeping.Stay safe.Say Hello, Wave

W/C 23rd June 2023I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the cricket. The first test against India from Headingley was an absolute delight, we were pretty much addicted for the whole five days, with the live coverage in the back room doing battle with the radio commentary upstairs.The whole joy is that for most of the fifteen (yes I did say fifteen) two hour sessions I had no idea who was actually winning. At four-ish on the fifth day it could still have gone three ways, with the outcome only really

W/C 16th June 2025I have been trying to work out if I have ever seen the video for this song before, and having mulled it for longer than I possibly should, I have reached the conclusion that I probably haven’t.Nothing particularly surprising in that conclusion I suppose, and whilst it’s very much of its time (quirky and instantly forgettable) it also made me realise that I had no real clue what Squeeze actually looked like.Yes I know that it's Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, yes I remember that

W/C 9th June 2025Now you know I like a good sitcom, and you also know that I rate Not Going Out very highly and certainly worthy of special mention.Well the new series landed last night, and the BBC dropped all six episodes which resulted in us watching the first four. I am pleased to report that it is a strong as ever, but the reason I mention it is because the second episode called Doll is really very clever.I am not quite sure how you begin to put together a narrative like that, the whole thing

W/C 2nd June 2025Sometimes the need to try and find a song title that encapsulates an element of my week, takes me to some very specific places.This song featured in a Rolling Stones documentary called 25x5, that I watched over and over, back in the late 80s. It was only a very small section of the programme, but it always stuck with me, and fortunately it was easy enough to locate the clip.So even though it is a prompt to a rather disappointing realisation (and outcome) of the week - it is still a

W/C 26th May 2025I completed my final run for the month yesterday, and also the final run in my current pair of running shoes, and I mention it because it is a bit of a bitter-sweet moment.I become quite attached to my runners, and whilst I am looking forward to a new pair (the first few runs in new shoes are always great) it always feels like I am being less than respectful to my current squeeze as we approach the end of our time together.Of course, the reality is that isn't the case.

This Time is the first song I ever heard from an unknown Canadian rocker named Bryan Adams. I was introduced to it by a friend called Steve Nicholson, he lived at the end of my road and he too was an avid Sheffield United fan.I ended up going to away matches with him and his Dad, and I even had a Saturday job at their family business back in the day (they had an independent Insurance brokerage, just in case you were wondering).We still keep in touch, though somewhat vicariously, over one of the

W/C 12th May 2025I haven't been able to ascertain exactly which group of football fans adopted this song first. Wikipedia cites the example of Everton fans in 1956, which is only a year after the song was written - so that might be favourite. I was belting it out (along with 26,000 others) at Bramall Lane on Monday and having a whale of a time.Aura Farming: Depending on the context, “aura farming” can refer to a person who does something cool without trying, or someone who is trying too hard to

W/C 5th May 2025I see that Amazon very astutely managed to get Conclave on their roster of films included on Prime, just in time for the selection of the new pope.I can only assume that the nature of the timing, you could almost say it was divine, will push the viewing figures no end.I haven’t seen it yet, but I have read the book which I thoroughly enjoyed.

W/C 21st April 2025As you are about to hear there isn't a real reason why I have picked this particular track to share with you as the episode title. There could have been, but as it turned out I ditched that idea because it was a bit too complicated.But I have stuck with it because I can't get past one aspect of the lyric, and as it happens it does resonate with (admittedly in a slightly laboured way) the football part of this week's TFM. Let me explain.As a song it contains an absolutely killer
