Guilfest 2012 was wet. Guilfest smelt of freshly excreted pungent cow manure. Guilfest charged an exorbitant £4.50 for a pint of Brother’s cider. Guilfest had over zealous security staff who regularly tugged at your wristband and rummaged through your belongings.
These are my collection of football team stickers and trivia from the late 1960′s and early 1970′s. The football stickers were objects of fanatic desirability back in the playground of the day. The competition to complete your favourite team’s pages was all encompassing leading to the unadulterated glory amongst your peers on completing a full album.

So Jimmy Carr’s accountant tells him that he can legally reduce his tax payments by using certain schemes.
What’s wrong with that? We all want to pay as little of our hard earned money into Her Majesty’s coffers.
If David Cameron and his government think that this is a contrived method of tax avoidance then surely they should be drafting laws to close the loopholes.

I was lucky enough in the winter of 2012 for my brother to generously buy me a Dansette record player as a Christmas present. This led to me clambering up into the loft in search of re-discovering a treasure trove of half forgotten 7″ vinyl memories.
So, here are the scans of my punk music single covers, Punk on 45 – in the words of Sergio Leone, “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”…

The Face magazine was a monthly independent music publication launched in May 1980 providing a totally new slant on modern dance music, incorporating a photo-laden style more often seen in the middle class ladies magazines of the day.
It’s style changed immensely during it’s lifetime, originating from a showcase for the popular quasi-independent music acts of the time, before evolving into a lifestyle magazine focusing more on fashion and style trends of youth culture.
These are the covers of it’s golden period, the first 50 issues.

Due to the anaesthetic type influence of nostalgia, life always seemed to be better when we were young.
Life was definitely more simplistic without the overbearing need to be in permanent contact with not only your family and friends but also with people you have never met, without the overbearing need to aim for the fictitious life of a celebrity, without the overbearing need for information overload.

Is Jessie J the worst dressed woman in pop music? Has she any dress sense?
From the little I have seen of this woman on the trailers for the BBC series ‘The Voice‘ she appears to be an explosion of spandex tight kitchen foil doing battle with multi-coloured patterned expanses of tailored haberdashery.
Phew! Hold the Lysergic acid diethylamide, here comes Jessie…
…here come the fashion police!

Bush, and which has left one million Iraq civilians dead and the country devastated.

Well done Roy Hodgson! As a baggies fan I’m disappointed to see you go even though you infuriated me with:
- Continuing to try to play 4-4-2 at every opportunity even though 4-5-1 proved to be more successful over and over again.
- Reluctance to substitute players until late into a match.
I hope you prove the doubters wrong!!
