Hi, I heard you having an interwiew with a guest a week or more ago about a book in relation to The World War. I remember you saying you thought it was good and you could talk about the World War all day but I cannot remember the name of the book. I would be gratefull if you could e-mail me the name of the book you were talking about. Thanks so much. Conor

Neil should write down in his diary every time he walks his dog and the time. If he is in any doubt later on as to whether he walked the dog or not, he just checks his diary. Kev

Kate Bush - It had to be. Blow the X factor out of the water ! For those wondering why Kate is No. 1, listen to these: Prologue and Somewhere In Between from 'Aerial' Moments of Pleasure from 'The Red Shoes' This Woman's Work from 'The Sensual World' Cloudbusting from 'Hounds of Love' Houdini from 'The Dreaming' Army Dreamers from 'Never for Ever' Hammer Horror from 'Lionheart' Saxophone Song from 'The Kick inside' etc. etc.

At long last a victory for real music. Enough of Simon Cowell & Louis Walsh X factor tripe. Long live Kate! A campaign should be started to try and get Kate to headline the Electric Picnic now that would be a thing to cherish!

Hi Tom I know it's too late but Juliet Turner could have been a contender. Latest album "People Have Names" is great. Try "Elder of the Tribe".
