Chris Sievey

From The Flashing Blade, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Died on 21st June 2010.  He was someone I  never knew or met apart from through his Frank Sidebottom alter ego.  I saw him play at the Cricketers pub behind the Oval, now sadly empty and squatted, in the mid 80′s.  I’d been led to Frank by a colleague who was a big fan, who, together with half the football team he played for, came to the concert.  I still have his début double LP in a gatefold sleeve featuring the hit single ‘Mr Custard; and a warning that it features...

The Deep End

From The Keeping Time, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

I signed Katherine up for swimming lessons this summer for a variety of reasons, none of which had anything to do with her actually learning to swim: I wanted to keep her busy. I wanted to take her mind off the move. I wanted both the girls to have regular playtimes with their friends. And so far, my plan seems to be working. We've been out of the house and happily distracted. To top it all off, I think Katherine might be (surprise!) actually learning... Read more

Saudi Arabia: Sunglass Trends of Saudi Women

From American Bedu, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Saudi Women love their sunglasses.  All anyone has to do is walk around one of the many shopping malls anywhere in the Kingdom.  In spite of the artificial lighting in a mall, many Saudi women will continue to wear their sunglasses regardless of whether she is wearing only the hijjab, niqab or complete veil in some cases.  The sunglasses will typically be worn on the outside so anyone glancing will get a good view of the sunglasses. A lot of Saudi women are fashion conscious and enjoy wearing... Read more

Rock 'n Roll!

From Badaude, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Jeanette Winterson is a rock star. The big closing act storms onto the stage to the first blast of pop the festival has heard. She shouts, "I love Pink." and she doesn't mean the colour. She's wearing grey: narrow grey jeans and neat grey Prada sneakers, a white tee shirt and a round necked black jacket that looks like it could be by Helmut Lang or one of his imitators. Like her (I can only describe it as a) performance, her tiny, soberly-clothed body is tight, spare and serious. She... Read more

I'm Back: Grieving, Cheering & Celebrating Life

From Life with Our Lads, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

It's been 10 days since my last post but it's taken me a while to have the energy to post to be honest. I've been grieving for Frank and between bursts of involuntary crying I just about have had the energy to keep things skipping along with our visiting family from England, two crazy boys and my job. It hasn't helped that we've had weather from the depths of hell where you just sweat constantly and feel like you live in the deep south, never mind Ohio. Even an earthquake today but not as bad...

Mobilising a tall army

From The expat numbat: from AU to NL, 2 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Topvoetbal is zoiets als oorlog. Professional football is something like war. (Rinus Michels, Dutch football player and coach, FIFA coach of the 20th century) Zowel de spelers als supporters moeten van het spel genieten. Voetbal is een schouwspel. Als dat niet het geval is, is het geen voetbal. (Both players and supporters must enjoy the game. Football is a spectacle. If it’s not, then it’s not football.) (Johan Cruyff’s first commandment.) Strategy The overall aim is to... Read more
