Shownotes Transcript
The song I’ve sent you this week is one you will relate to as you know the subject well “Song of Anglesey” sung by my pal Paul Damian…although it is now on a CD album it was originally the B side of my now viral “How To Say Llanfairpwll….etc”….so in effect it sold just a many…which was a lot….the long word song is approaching a million hits on YouTube.
I wrote quite a few songs for Paul and my one regret is I never kept the outtakes….I don’t know whose language was worse…his or mine…..great days…Paul now lives in Spain and I miss him a lot.
2.There is an obesity crisis in this country…or so we keep getting told on the news…along with an increase in dementure….and lung problems with fuel emissions…etc…etc….I’m beginning to wonder whether there is anyone who is actually well out there…..perhaps if people didn’t smoke they wouldn’t have lung problems and if they got off their mobile phones and did some exercise they wouldn’t be obese…or am I over simplifying things….or perhaps if the news was a bit more positive it might help instead of doom and gloom.
The latest is they want to ban “tackling” in school rugby….in case the poor little chaps get hurt…so that looks like the end of future top class rugby for this country?
We only need 30 minutes of news but we get 24 hours…thus we have 23 and a half hours of padding.
3.We have chosen our song entry for the Eurovision…..Joe and Jake are flying the flag….I watched the other contenders and theirs was by far the best and I think the girls will like them so there is a possibility we will get more than nil pwa this year…..I can’t remember the name of the song … oops…but it was quite good.
Apparently the two lads are off the The Voice…so Mr.Cowell wonthave a finger in the pie for a change.
I must say I watch the Eurovision and I enjoy it…even though I wish I didn’t.
It was amazing…Ant and Dec weren’t involved!!!....can’t understand it….they are NEVER off our screens!!!....perhaps they should take a well earned holiday (couple of years?) and give us all a rest…we deserve it.
They are even on the adverts..so there is NO escape.
4.I also watched the Academy Awards….is there some sort of controversy about the lack of black nominees?....er….I think so as they have been going on and on about it for months!!
I must say that Chris Rock was brilliant…I am a huge fan of his and think he is one of the best comedians around.
I always think it’s all a bit too glamorous and out dated for todays market….and fail to see the point…what do I care if Joe Bloggs wins an award…doesn’t effect ME in the slightest….I think the money could be better spent elsewhere.
5.There is a new programme on TV featuring Julia Bradberry doing Lake District walks…it’s great stuff especially as I recognise the places having walked there myself…plus Julia is very easy on the eye…and Griff Rhys Jones did a similar programme wandering around Wales…I particularly enjoyed the feature on Anglesey as I have walked around the whole island over the years.
This sort of programme is of interest to everyone (or should be)….instead of being bombarded with idiots having tattoos removed or cosmetic surgery on their fat out of shape bodies…I can’t imagine anyone watching that garbage…but there you go.
