Shownotes Transcript

The Nanny State strikes again...now drinks have to let you know how dangerous they are for your health via labelling....like cigarettes...I'm sick and tired of being told what is and isn't good for me by so called experts who are probably part of the manipulation process of big greedy companies....there is also talk of bringing down the drink drive limit...which I'm actually all for.

Sinead O'Connor was recently on (plus hideous tattoos) talking about her latest album...the concept being that SHE'S the boss....she quite rightly stated that artists who sign up to record companies are doing them the favour...not the other way round...which is right but hopeful artists are 10 a penny these days...so if you don't want to be a puppet go it alone....which you can only do if you are good enough.

I don't know how the BBC have the nerve to charge us for a licence......here's an example...Monday 11th August...3.00 Escape to the Country (repeat)...3.30 The Hairy Bikers (repeat)....7.30 Fake Britain (repeat)...8.30 Miranda (repeat)....9.00 Death In Paradise (repeat)....10.35 Have I Got News For You (repeat)...11.20 who do they think they are (repeat)....it's only the news programmes which aren't repeated...and they are tripe!!....are they havin' a laugh?...they should pay US to watch.

Sad news about Robin Williams...I wasn't a fan but very sad....I always found him uncomfortable to watch and he always seemed troubled...his best film was "Dead Poets Society"...great film....depression is a terrible thing which no-one can really help you with....tragic.

On the subject of great films I decided to watch "Back To The Future"...although I saw it first time round I forgot how good it is...great story wonderfully written and acted....why can't they make this sort of film these days...instead of the dragged out computerised trash we are subjected to.
