BBC Scandal

I've had a few experience's at the beeb - the above picture being a pleasant one at Maida Vale!

Nothing unpleasant like some others thankfully.

The place needs gutted from the top as that's where it's systemic - I have my doubts about that though!

Overseas

My daughter is in Bordeaux on an educational thing currently - the house is empty when she's not there.

Anyway - made me recall times gone by and playing for Linksfield in Belgium and being a winner!

As a fourteen year old the footie was secondary to the carry on in Ostend. Although we were very good at both!

The joys of hitting the bars, exploring a foreign place and the freedom - the teachers were glad to see the back of us - happy days!

Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club

The sheep stealer squealed
as she kissed the sheep dogs flock, letting slip a glaikit sleekit smile surveying her plunder so ill got.

Whilst the shiney eyed Shepherd
blew chunks and ran and ran, to the point he dove into the river where he swam and swam and swam.

And the Winchester recoil cracked. Erasing half a million smiles and the run keeper fell to his knees, like some bappit parochial Church Of England child.

So as I watched from ways afar
casting an alert and roving eye
I regressed back to another age
and the billets-doux of time.

And, now demulcent lager
Soothes my sore and rasping throat and the gypit lump of muscle, left of centre in my chest, beats a smooth brush paradiddle and keeps on keeping on.....with those I love.....

Do wap be do be do....That's Jazz!

The Generation Game

So I have a few material things I'd like.

A new set of Golf clubs (I'm getting older and fancy becoming a swinger- of the clubs that is)!

An iPad and why not?

Some new running shoes.

A concept2 rowing machine, a cuddly toy and so much more.....too much Olympics methinks...I'll need to get on Brucie's game show and win such prizes.

I also accepted a good pals landmark 50th birthday party invitation. A new generation are pushing through but there's room for us still.....after-all...

Life is the name of the Game.

The Strummer of Love

Look what I got sent from my mate in the post today.

Nowadays Nick's a Vice President of Sales whilst I ended up a Manager of something or other!

How did that happen?

I need to be making a noise.....

Joe would have been El Presidente for sure - 10 years since he passed and I still can't believe it.

The Strummer of Love Festival is this month - I'd like to see that but I'll be busy Managing Something or other....

Where's my guitar - I need to be saying something.

I need to stand up and be counted - cause if you don't stand for something...you stand for NOTHING.....

Back to Basics

After the highs of last week watching Bradley win the tour, it was back to basics with grass roots cycling on the agenda last night.

Marvellous!

Summer Where?

Nowhere to be seen in Scotland. Found it in Portugal of all places!
Most welcome!
