If you think getting a bloke in his late 40"s to talk about the stuff going on in his head is difficult...you should try getting him to stop.

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

W/C 30th June 202505:22 this time.After a similar experience a couple of days ago, it was slightly later this morning when I woke up with the missing piece. 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. Robert Harris is a fave amongst my fiction-author-choices, and his new one Precipice landed last week, it's currently perched at the top of the

W/C 28th April 2025Between 13:00 and 13:40 today I witnessed a wonder of the modern world.In the Long Bar, which is situated in the East Stand at Headingley, an undisclosed but statistically significant number of cricket followers were fed a lunch of fish, chips and mushy peas, with bread and butter on the side.This was the scene that greeted me in the Members lounge, as this unnamed collective moved between the food queue, the condiments table and the bar. The average age well north of 70.There was

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

W/C 14th April 2025I am quietly chuckling to myself, because I never thought I would be able to feed a song title like this one into an episode of TFM. But in the context of the content for this week, and if you flip it around a bit, and imagine it from a certain perspective then it does make a lot of sense.Anyway it's a bit of a funny one this week, with the early week being the closing stages of our holiday to Gran Canaria, before setting back off to what was a slightly unusual end to the working

We are due to be leaving the house for a family shopping trip to Meadowhall at quarter to, which is only adding to the pressing nature of my task.Normally I would have a little nugget leftover from the episode, something

W/C 24th March 2025One of the great things about recording TFM is that I get to rack my brains and come up with an episode title that is also a song. You know the rules, the song title (where possible) must be pertinent to some of the themes of the week's episode, and I try and make it a song I have some history with.Clearly this week was going to be fairly easy, I mean how many song titles are there that contain the word 'Drive' (don't answer that, because it is quite a lot). But here's the thing,

W/C 17th March 2025I have heard this story three times now, and it floors me every time.This song was written as part of Radio 2's 21st century Folk project, where a group of songwriters were invited to write songs about other peoples lives. The song describes the day that Thea travelled to the North East to meet Delyth Raffell, and to hear about her daughter Ellen who passed away at the age of 16 from an allergic reaction.I was drawn to the song on the first listen, long before I understood the
