Gullible's Travels: The Who Hits 50 at The O2
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2015/04/the-who-hits-50-at-o2.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Thursday, April 09, 2015. The Who Hits 50 at The O2. This will be the third time I have seen The Who. Last time was in 1996 in Hyde Park when they played the whole of Quadraphenia. The first time was in 1970 at the Isle of Wight Festival. When they played the whole of Tommy! I still have the original vinyl double gatefold album with the price sticker 85/- That is 85 shillings or four and a quarter of your English pounds. I would second that&#...

Gullible's Travels: Cleaning the Wandle December 2013
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2013/12/cleaning-wandle-december-2013.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Thursday, December 19, 2013. Cleaning the Wandle December 2013. Garfield Road, South Wimbledon, London. Sunday 08-December-2013. We dragged the usual junk out of the river; instead of the typical coconut shells (there is a local Hindu temple) we found an actual Ganesha. An innovation for the Wandle Trust. Merry Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho! Full set of photos on Flickr: http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/markmclellan/sets/72157638775636894/. The Wandle Tr...

Gullible's Travels: Cleaning the Wandle March 2015
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2015/03/cleaning-wandle-march-2015.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Sunday, March 22, 2015. Cleaning the Wandle March 2015. Poulter Park, Sutton. Sunday 08-March-2015. The weather forecast was for temperatures in the range 5-8 deg C so I bundled up with thermal long Johns in expectation of a chilly wade in the water. As it turned out the water was only up to our knees and the Spring sun was blazing so in pretty short order I was roasting. It was a glorious Spring day. The Wandle Trust is an environmental char...

Gullible's Travels: Dr John at Under The Bridge
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2012/08/dr-john-at-under-bridge.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Friday, August 03, 2012. Dr John at Under The Bridge. London, Thursday 19-July-2012. Another musical legend at our local music venue Under The Bridge. This time Dr John. We got there in good time as it is unreserved seating. There was a bit of confusion on the door as we were fitted with VIP wristbands by a newbie doorman. Mary breezed in ahead but the head doorman spotted the error and removed mine :-(. When we went to see Taj Mahal. Thames ...

Gullible's Travels: Arcadia at The New Victoria Theatre
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2015/03/arcadia-at-new-victoria-theatre.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Friday, March 20, 2015. Arcadia at The New Victoria Theatre. Woking. Friday 27-February-2015. Mary's very generous colleagues on a previous project gave her a theatre voucher as a leaving present. Spending it at West End prices and availability was a challenge but The New Victoria Theatre in Woking, where Mary works, was in the same theatre chain. So we booked seats to see what is often described as "Tom Stoppard's masterpiece". Starring Feli...

Gullible's Travels: Cleaning the Wandle January 2015
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2015/02/cleaning-wandle-january-2015.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Cleaning the Wandle January 2015. After missing a couple of clean-ups it was back into the water on a chilly January day just upstream from the last clean up in this stretch in 2013. This had a road bridge over the river so that meant lots of junk in the river as people can lob stuff over the railings. And a great improvement it is too. To quote the Merton website. The Wandle Trust is an environmental charity dedi...

Gullible's Travels: We're not worthy, we're not worthy
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2004/02/were-not-worthy-were-not-worthy.htm
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Monday, February 09, 2004. We're not worthy, we're not worthy. No it was not Alice Cooper, it was the Bonzos (Bonzo Dog Dooh-Dah Band). Albums of all time (hey! We can't all like the same things). Turns out they were, strictly speaking, the "Bill Posters Will Be Band" featuring two of the old-time Bonzos: Roger Ruskin Spear and Sam Spoons (Martin Ash). Still close enough for me.

Gullible's Travels: Bill Posters Will Be Band
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2004/11/bill-posters-will-be-band.htm
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Friday, November 05, 2004. Bill Posters Will Be Band. One of the joys of working in London is the recapture of a social life Monday to Thursday instead of room service meals and CNN on the TV. Mum produced a pack of letters I wrote to them when I was in college in 71/74 as part of clearing out their lives. A quick glance show them to be less Oscar Wilde and more Nigel Molesworth. At The Bull's Head. Friday, November 05, 2004. Sixty-something ...

Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Meet me where they play the blues. Mary Coughlan at Ronnie Scott's Thursday 14-Oct-10. I have seen Mary Coughlan. 160;once before when my Mary was working in Dublin.

Gullible's Travels: Jules and the Gamblers at The Bull's Head
http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/2015/03/jules-and-gamblers-at-bulls-head.html
Mark McLellan (gentleman, scholar and acrobat) muses out loud. Thursday, March 05, 2015. Jules and the Gamblers at The Bull's Head. Barnes, London. Friday 13-February-2013. My second time of seeing Jules and The Gamblers. Last time was at The Old Frizzle. On Wimbledon Broadway. There I got the impression the set list was geared to background music for the drinkers; this time it was more like the Chicago Blues that they really wanted to play! Jules plays the harp. Thursday, March 05, 2015. Sixty-something...
