		<title>Big Star</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been listening to the new-ish Big Star box set, &#8220;Keep an eye on the sky&#8221;. It prompted me to dig out the Rock City cd(one of Chris Bell&#8217;s first bands, early versions of &#8220;My life is right&#8221; and &#8220;Try again&#8221; credited to Rock City but featuring Alex Chilton) which also has the Icewater version [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raw Power, Legacy edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just got the Legacy edition of Raw Power, one of my all time favourite albums. As I&#8217;ve written previously, my dear friend Veronica Peyton turned me onto it, shortly after it&#8217;s release in 1973. Iggy was sort of rescued by David Bowie. Bowie obviously knew Iggy was a unique talent, and got him signed [...]]]></description>

		<title>George Wombwell, menagerist,  part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[PROLOGUE: In the last five months, I&#8217;ve driven myself to utter distraction researching GW&#8217;s life. I responded to a posting on the US circus site by Clare Mulley. Beneath her post is a comment by Fred Dahlinger who advises checking parish records, birth and death certificates, school records and other official documents for material. Simply [...]]]></description>

		<title>My pet Jackdaw</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was 10 I acquired a pet Jackdaw. Well really I suppose it acquired me. I&#8217;d been playing on the top of the Prom in Maldon in the early Summertime. The Promenade in our town was once an amazing place. It had a huge lake which you could actually swim in! Of course that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

On the 11th of August, I had my second rehearsal with Second Offense, having had the first one on the 29th of July.

		<title>Scotland 8-12-09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Part 1&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. Well, here I am on the train to Peterborough, my bum slightly sore  from the Jobsworth guard  charging me a further 18 quid for my journey! Knew I&#8217;d forget something&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; my railcard! I dread to think how much a ticket to Inverness would cost! Will investigate further&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; After much  phaffing from 6 a.m. [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Father, Alfred William Ruffle, part 3.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After my Pa left school, in 1928, at the age of 13, his Father secured him a job at Heybridge laundry. It was an apprenticeship in a profession that would stand  him in good stead for his next big adventure. But for now, as a young teenager, it was regular work and an education of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fairy Lights&#8230;&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a sad and shocking statistic that at Christmas time incidents of domestic violence and friction increase dramatically. And why should that be? Is it the close proximity of other family members, that one usually never sees except over the Festive season, that irritates? Is it the increased  Alcohol intake that causes people to become [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firework Fetish 2: Indoor Fireworks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s major part of my &#8220;Fetish&#8221; that I didn&#8217;t mention. Sadly it isn&#8217;t something I&#8217;ve experienced since probably the late 60&#8242;s, and that&#8217;s Indoor Fireworks. Indoor Fireworks you ask, surely some mistake? Not the type that Sergeant Alan refers to in his comment on &#8220;Firework Fetish&#8221;? No, you read me right, mini Pyros for use [...]]]></description>
