Morning. Not sure how this one will fly because as I'm finding out it's a bit fiddly. Good people, on your ipod (should you have one) you can find all the songs contained within listed in alphabetical order. What I'd like to know is this; what are the first songs listed in alphabetical order? That is, your first song beginning with A, then B, then C and so on. My 26 songs look like this: A Train Lady...

One of my weekly delights is the Crossword in Irelands Sunday Tribune. The clues are a wierd mixture of cryptic and factual (very very obscure facts alot of which relate to Northern Ireland). I do this exercise with a friend of mine, who has first shot and leaves the music, film and ones he cannot do to me. I must confess, when all else fails I resort to the assistance of Mr. Google, which in itself...
I went to renew my Canadian passport in Tel Aviv this past Friday. Hubby was in the mood to travel with me. I let him tag along, provided he could keep up with me. I wasn't just going to the embassy and then go home. This was Friday.The only day off work when I could travel. And I was adamant about getting to know Tel Aviv as well as I do Jerusalem. It's just a much bigger city to maneuver. I warned...

Following on from a non-sequitur on yesterday's show, and the news (thanks, Mike Ritchie) that Van Morrison is a father again at the age of 64 (to George Ivan Morrison III, dead spit of his dad, poor wee sod), it occurred to me that the Top Ten Live Albums of All Time might be an interesting notion to pursue...so, off the top of my head (and revealing a sad nostalgia for the 70s and beyond): (1) It's...
Speaking of Cream’s Politician, here’s Cream bassist Jack Bruce playing the song with Rory Gallagher. Notice that at the beginning of the video, Bruce is singing the riff to Gallagher, so maybe Gallagher didn’t know the song. I think he did a pretty good job!

ULSTER SFC FINAL St Gall's 0-16 Loup 0-5ST GALL’S JUSTIFIED their status as pre-match favourites with a dominant display as they held Derry champions Loup scoreless from play in a one-sided decider at Newry yesterday.
St. Gall's (Antrim) 0-16 Loup (Derry) 0-5 St. Gall's were very impressive winners of today's AIB Ulster Club SFC final in Newry, dashing the hopes of Derry champions Loup with a thumping 0-16 to 0-5 defeat.
IT WAS as if nothing had changed. Two weeks ago, playing for St Gall's against Monaghan champions Clontibret, it was all still there – the craft, skill and swagger. By game's end, Rory Gallagher trotted off the field with 2-3 to his name, all but one point coming from play. ...
