Rolph Harris has been all over the news this week….WOW…what a fall from grace…MBE OBE CBE and portrait painter to the Queen…oh dear. What I still don’t get about all this is someone MUST have known back in the day?...why take so long to come forward…anyway he’s got 5 and a half years….I went to his exhibition in Liverpool a few years back and his drawings and paintings were on sale…at a ridiculous price….they wont be worth much now,
Our roads are getting more and more dangerous for cyclists…according to those in the know….I must say I steer clear of main roads these days when I’m on my bike…but we are very lucky on wonderful Wirral as we have a coastal cycle path right round the peninsula…so you can do a thirty mile stint without going on the main road and risking your life…..they have cycle lanes along a lot of roads which are O.K. providing idiots don’t park on them.
There has been a very informative survey by “scientists” at one of our universities and have come up with the staggering information regarding “headbangers” at rock concerts…..their activities could cause brain damage….now there’s a surprise…..you would think some halfwit wrenching his head up and down 6 inches away from a PA speaker hammering out 1000 watts would be fine….what they seemed to have overlooked is to receive brain damage you first have to have a brain…so most of the Motorhead fans should be quite safe.
The Navy have been on the news displaying their latest addition to the fleet….an enormous aircraft carrier…the size of 3 football pitches…named after our majesty….all very nice but it has cost 6 BILLION….didn’t I hear someone say we had cut jobs to save money?....6 BILLION……out of the taxpayers pocket….but there is no money around?...do me a favour.
5.Track 5 on my album is called “The Bobby Vee Song”…..I had the pleasure of working with Bobby on two occasions…once at the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton…and again at the North Wales Theatre in Llandudno….I found him to be a great guy and we hit it off from the outset…so I thought he HAD to have a spot on my album….it tells the story of how Mr.Vee stole my girlfriend’s heart back in the day….I thought she loved ME…but she loved Bobby Vee. It was great to meet and work with one of the top teenage idols and to discuss his hits (Carole King etc) over a coffee.
