Shownotes Transcript

..I’ve just spent a few days in Wales…hence the song “The Magic Of Wales”….this was a sort of follow up to my Llanfair PG song….again sung by Paul….I put this on a single cassette…one song on one side and one on the other…same as Llanfair.. … got some good lines in it…The grey of Blaenau’s quarries with their crumbling hills of slate”…I was well pleased with this one.

The news this week has been all about the terrible plane crash in The Alps….again the stupid news presenters are making wild guesses as to what happened…without any knowledge…which again achieves NOTHING…..one of the ridiculous questions was “Do you think there could be a possibility of terrorism?”….which only serves to get all the sheep who watch the news all worked up…for goodness sake WAIT AND SEE !!....This was followed by a woman whinging and moaning about how women are regarded in the workplace…they’re not problems … the families of the passengers on that plane have PROBLEMS.

Speaking of sheep I was watching in disbelief as crowds of people lined the streets for the “Royal” funeral….of supposedly Richard the Third…..have some people got nothing going on in their lives…they were even throwing flowers on to the box…sorry…coffin….and one bloke got stopped from taking a selfie of himself by the coffin…despite blanket coverage from the television….parading a box of bones through the streets on the assumption that it was once a king of England defies description…with religious characters getting themselves into the act with “…ah yes King Richard would have thought this …and would have said that etc”…we definitely all need help.

If I hear Jeremy Clarkson’s name once more I think I’ll scream…he had a barney with a bloke … and got the sack…THAT’S IT!!...I don’t care if he gets picked up by another channel…I don’t care if he starves…the only thing I wish he’d done was punch Richard Hammond in his annoying face….then I could enjoy watching the blanket news on the subject.

Also the news has made a massive deal about Cameron saying if he wins the election he will only serve one more term…oh blimey…EVERYONE has piled in….he said he wants to spend more time with his family….then what do we get…..Milliband being photographed walking his kids to school….oooh look at me …I’m also a family man….talk about transparent….they must think we are all impressed with all this nonsense….mind you I’m beginning to think most of us are!
