SMBU’s Own… Tommy Doherty

Dear Tom

A belated happy birthday to you, Mate. You don’t look a day older than the youngest of the Kings of Leon.

It’s been a pretty dull few days for you, without a match – sad when you are in such prime form, too. We know you’ve covered off our previous top tips, so here’s a few more to fill the empty days until the massive Posh wing-ding.

Film: The Orphanage, a must-see for connoisseurs of Spanish horror.

Long Player: Funky Nassau: the Compass Point Story 1980-1986. It's a bit early in the year for this but as the clocks have just changed and the summer months begin to breeze in... stick this low slung, wilted-by-the-heat funk on your iPod and imagine the beaches of the Bahamas while you're on that tiring coach trip to Grimsby.

TV: We’re torn on this one. The sad, multi-channel sci-fi geeks in the SMBU camp favour something called “The Sarah Connor Chronicles”. Those of us with just the three channels and black and white are plumping for the alarmingly good dramatization of Jake Arnott’s “He Killed Coppers”. Surely nothing this good ever came out of ITV?

Book of the Week: Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich. SMBU’s gambling problems see us recommend this book about a group of MIT students who won millions in Vegas - card counting.

Beard of the Week: Here's Gerry Adams auditioning for Willy Wonka
