Tid bits

Wednesday 30 April – Just a quick mid-week update, starting with some favourite watering holes. It appears that The Old White Swan is currently closed for refurbishment. There is a strange rumour regarding Tim Hornsby of Fibbers. A normally reliable source has informed me that Tim is buying up the snooker premises at The Stonebow with a view to turning it into a music venue. Is this a breakaway move for Tim, or is he planning on expanding Fibbers? I don’t know!


Meanwhile, I’m early waiting for The Duels second album – The Barbarians Move In. The physical release date has been moved back from 28 April to 5 May. Drat!


So what do you do with junk mail? I’m already on various lists that are supposed to stop junk mail and cold telephone callers, they might cut it down, but they don’t cut it out. I’ve started sending it back. If they provide an envelope, I use it. If not, I pop their rubbish in an unstamped envelope and send it off; they’ll have to pay the postage at their end. Of course, I always ensure that there is no reference to my name or address on the material that I send back. I don’t see why I should recycle their rubbish, they can do it themselves. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has a method to discourage junk mail.
