Max Crisp I love mangoes, they are one of my favourite fruits. Most of my enjoyment comes out of a tin, but they are delicious all the same.

Yeah, seeing bears and wild turkey and horses is all well and good, but I need some history, too! Fear not, I got my dose of history today. Have you ever heard of the nation of Franklin? Probably not. I went to its capital city...

Max Crisp All interesting facts I wasn’t aware of! What amazes me is how a country as huge as the US lives in such (apparent) harmony between all the individual states! Here in the ‘small’ United Kingdom, we are not so ‘United’, as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland...

Oh, wasn’t 1960 a good year. I was born there. Despite that, there was lots of great music that year. I’m celebrating having turned 65 earlier this month with songs that are also turning 65 this year!...

Max Crisp I’ve never heard of this one either! Top Ten what, I’m asking myself? I’ve also realised that clicking on your song links is changing my YouTube algorithm, so it’s suggesting I listen to tunes I wouldn’t normally.

This guy is unreal. After we stopped openly fighting last summer he started stopping by to hang out. He made several comments about wanting to hook up but I just laughed them off. He has seen my ex coming and going. Like catch the...

Max Crisp Men often mistake being friendly as a ‘come on’. You seem like a friendly sort, so he’s trying his luck. He’s also probably being seduced by the smell coming from your cooking, in particular the cinnamon rolls. What’s not to like?

When I heard that the Pope had died I immediately thought of re-watching Angels & Demons but then saw some mentions of a recent movie, Conclave, that was about finding a replacement for the Pope. I rarely watch new movies but...

Max Crisp I’ve read all the Dan Brown books and watched the movies. Angels and Demons is great. I’ve never watched Conclave, but it’s not free on Amazon Prime UK, unless they made it ppv after the Pope died hoping to cash in. The greedy swines! Let me...

Max Crisp I’ve been on a few cruises in the med, and it’s very much like you say: disembark early doors (usually too early) and then back onboard late afternoon. The ships are getting bigger and bigger, and more of them. So when you arrive at a port now, it’s like an...

It’s top ten time! Yes, I’m 65 and so are these songs. Let’s get into my ten favorite songs that came out in 1960. No, not all of them originated in 1960, but these versions all came out then. So here we go with a one-hit...

Before we get to the top ten, we close out these 65-year-old songs’ alphabetical list with two instrumentals. And here we have another case of “don’t stop me if you’ve heard this before,” where the most popular recording dates to...

Max Crisp They remind me of The Shadows, who started around the same time, and I think they did a cover of this too. I’ve never heard of The Ventures, so I don’t think they made it across the pond.

Trump's stupid tariffs go into effect on Tuesday so Penzey's is having a sale to encourage customers to stock up on spices and seasonings. I just love how the owner isn't afraid to be political and criticize Trump's terrible...

Max Crisp I’ve already got too many out of date spices in my cupboard, so although I’d be tempted, I’d have to pass. Vanilla and saffron are very expensive here too, without the tariffs, but they’re not something I use, so I’d pass. I hope you stocked up on cinnamon.

Max Crisp Guy goes to the doctors and says, “Doc, I can’t stop singing “What’s New Pussycat”. Can you help me?” Doc says, “I think you’ve got Tom Jones Syndrome” Guy says, “Is it common?” Doc says, “It’s not unusual”

Yes, we all know this wasn’t actually recorded in 1960. However, it was released in 1960, so that qualifies it for this countdown of songs that are celebrating their 65th birthday this year. Hey, just like me! Wonder if...

Max Crisp Same here in the UK. Many new parents are ignoring medical advice now and believing those on social media who have no qualifications but have many followers and are anti-vaxers. You can’t fix stupid!

Max Crisp @JudyEv I’ve only been to Shakespeare country once, and that was quite a few years ago now. From what I remember: his birthplace is right in the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, and is a typical timber-framed Tudor house. You can pay to look around inside, but I...
