I have a question for you all. I often eat dried fruits and hazel nuts in my office as this prevents me gorging on chocolate and is also quite good for you. Recently someone came into my office and helped themselves to a whole unopened bag of hazel nuts. Their intention wasn’t to hide this fact from me, they admitted that they hadn’t had time for lunch and knew I had such goodies lying around and that I don’t mind people helping themselves to the occasional nut or dried apricot. Nevertheless, they’ve made no effort to replace the bag of nuts nor do they appear likely to do so. I put it to you that frequently helping yourself to someone’s freely offered nuts is one thing, but taking a whole bag without replacing it is quite something else. A code of conduct, I feel, has been broken. Merely saying, ‘it was me‘ isn’t enough, I think you have to replace the bag. Am I, er, nuts?
Anyway, down to business. You haven’t had a reggae collection for quite a while and for that I apologize. The clocks have gone forward, I haven’t got any hazel nuts and winter is well and truly on its way, yes, even here in Istanbul winter is well and truly upon us. One thing that makes me chipper this time of year are a few tunes like this…
1 Andy Capp – Herbsman
2 Glen Brown – Collie and Wine
3 Dice and Cummie – Free the Weed
4 Bob Marley and the Wailers – Kaya
5 Carl Murphy – Lick I Pipe
6 Aston ‘family man’ Barrett – Herb Tree
7 Max Romeo – My Jamaican Collie
8 Big Youth – Half Ounce
9 Leroy ‘horsemouth’ Wallace – Herb Vendor

Your nut thief was only following Mr. T’s advice:

I pity the fool who follows the advice of Mr. T.
Thanks Adam, i love the MP3 thanks for sharing it. The reggae tracks are some of the ones i miss most from the radio since JP
You’re more than welcome, Steve. There will be plenty more from where this came, so come back!
Thanks mate! i was just thinking the other day about a time when Peelie mentioned he’d never really got any recognition for playing reggae in the uk, i think someone from a specialist show had been given an award for it, and he worked out that on average he played two a show so overall that’s a lot of wax!
Thomas, your blog has one hell of a name: I wish young Mr. Ravenscroft had adopted it as he’d have liked. Added to my blogroll!
