Shownotes Transcript

.I was watching the Great Ormond Street Hospital Chidren’s Comedy Gala……bearing in mind this is a CHILDREN’S charity the language out of the so called comics was disgraceful. I’m no prude but there is a limit…John Bishop opened the show with every other word being the F word…followed by Lee Evans who did the same…and so on…I turned it off in the end…what happened to FUNNY…the occasional swear word can add to a joke but not all the time…these guys need to get themselves some decent script writers….having said that the audience were falling about which must say something about the next generation….I think we can kiss humour goodbye

2.There is to be a series of programmes on TV about football hooligans…..WHY?...who’s bright idea is that?...if that is entertainment it’s time to pack up…..watching bunches of boneheaded morons going out looking for trouble will only encourage other similar types to do the same…I don’t care if they fracture each others skulls as they will feel no pain…but innocent bystanders end up getting hurt for no reason. All this trash TV demonstrates is how little some of us have evolved.

3.The government are going to quadruple speeding fines on motorways…so all these would be Lewis Hamiltons will get a 4 grand wake up call…of course this has caused an outrage amongst certain members of our society…I can’t see the problem…DON’T SPEED…it’s not rocket science….personally anyone doing a ton down the motorway should be flogged and thrown in jail.

4.There have been doubts as to whether true talent is found via TV…Britains Got Talent…X Factor ..etc…..of course not….the poor contestants are only pawns to line Simon Cowell’s pockets (good luck to him…more fool them)….I once knew a chap who went for an X Factor audition….queud from 7.30 in the morning to 5.30 at night….did a three minute audition and it was “Next!”…..it’s BUSINESS…if you want to make permanent money you have to pay your dues…that’s the reality….before we met I sent a song in for the Op Knocks song contest and got through to the final (a young girl sang my song)…met Hughie ..introduced my song etc….all good experience but somewhat fixed…I didn’t win by the way but it opened a few doors.
