Firstly, whether you use tuning pipes, a clip on tuner (recommended) or an online tuner, you must make sure your guitar is in tune - otherwise, however well you're technically playing, it'll sound rubbish. In terms of actually learning to play, my advice would be to firstly learn how to play the relatively easy A, D and E chords. With just these three chords, You'll be surprised how many songs you'll be able to play (albeit basic versions). Putting in the practice to learn these chords will be your fasted route to feeling like your getting somewhere on the guitar. I did a very quick YouTube search and this guy seems to be much less annoying than an awful lot of online guitar teachers.

Won't go into detail, but on the day that the PM declared the NHS 'broken' a couple of weeks back, a close relative was admitted to hospital, following a trip to A&E. Scans were fast tracked and things are now moving in the right direction. This all followed close monitoring by the local GP. Even when declared 'broken' it seems that the NHS staff step up to the plate and go the extra mile. Delighted to hear that doctors have been awarded something approaching a fair increase, following years of being shafted.

There are YouTube clips of the physical actor (Dave Prowse) delivering Vader's lines in rehearsal. It's very apparent from these what James Earl Jones' voice brought to the character.

Defining Marxist philosophy is hardly a 'gotcha', when the only people defining Harris as a Marxist are Donald Trump and his cronies. It's like me claiming that a cat is a dog and providing the dictionary definition of a dog as 'evidence'.

With 8 staff, it was probably a double polling station (two local stations co-located in one building). All of those staff will be there for 16+ hours as there's no way of predicting busy times. Pay is not much more than minimum wage (which is fair, given that there are usually long quiet periods) The process means that each worker does one part of the procedure at any one time, hence needing to employ a single queue system.

Much as we'd all love this pic to show what we want it to show, annoyingly the family never lived above the shop. They lived in Portswood and then moved to a big house in Bassett when the money started coming in.

Sunak gets pissed on. The weather is clearly making its own prediction.

Sack Martin now. Get Allardyce in, just for the play-offs, giving him the remaining league fixtures to assess the squad. Whatever happens, start afresh with a new manager next season. Any replies saying that's a ridiculous idea, please explain why sticking with Martin is a better one?

Which is where I personally look to those 97% of climate scientists for the answer. Wasn't it Michael Gove that suggested that people have 'had enough of experts'? Well, I tend to disagree and rely on them to inform me about all sorts of things.

There are of course climate scientists who, for whatever motive, present a good argument to ordinary folk, for man made climate change being a myth. However, being an ordinary Joe without the brains nor inclination to become a climate scientist myself, I have to rely on the consensus of 97% of people who have put in the hard yards to become climate scientists and agree that man made climate change is real. This is backed up by my own observations over a nearly 60 year life-span.

I remember going to the Joiners for a midweek gig with my flatmates, to see some band I'd barely heard of, basically because I had nothing better to do that evening. Turned out Radiohead were actually quite good.

I was out walking with the family near Wickham last summer and a group of people came towards us and one of the guys smiled and said hello. I recognised him from somewhere and thought it must be someone I vaguely knew. It took me a minute but a quick look on Google images confirmed that it was actually Hugh Fisher. I don't know him at all - he was just being a nice, friendly guy. I'd have stopped for a chat if I'd realised sooner, but the moment was gone. It would've been a bit undignified for a star-struck 50 something year old to be going chasing after him!
