The World's Loneliest Man

Cricket is making headline news....certainly not for the excitement of the game but for racist remarks made over the years to whingeing pathetic so called sportsmen.....first we have Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq so deeply hurt by racial remarks that it ruined his career.....only to be found to have made racial remarks about the Jewish faith himself on social media 10 years ago.....for which he has apologised....so that's O.K. then...what a hypocrite......................then we have the Australian player who blacked his face at a fancy dress party 9 YEARS AGO!.....he has strongly apologised for this.....why I don't know....was anybody injured?........mind you cricket does need something of interest to talk about because it is so boring....these so called sportsmen need to get a life.

Then we have a woman who has complained that she was "inappropriately touched" by Boris Johnson's dad.....10 YEARS AGO....apparently he tapped her bottom and told her she had a nice seat......obviously this has mentally scarred her for life and obviously affected her brain as she has only just remembered the horrendous incident 10 years later....I wonder if she still has the terrible bruises this violent attack caused.....I'm waiting for the male cast of all the Carry On films to be asked to apologise for their behaviour.......mind you these films were in the days when comedy was funny and everyone enjoyed them before some of the female population and some male creeps decided that anything funny was offensive.

I recently watched an old episode of Fawlty Towers where Basil kept accidentally groping a young lady every time sybil walked in....and was I deeply offended?...er...no....because I was too busy laughing at this classic comedy masterpiece....it wont be long before we will have to apologise for actually watching this disgraceful brilliant comedy.....and heaven help us if anyone hears us laughing!!

The HS2 project has also been on the news as those responsible have decided to scrap the bit from Birmingham to Leeds.....not that this will affect me in any way but I heard a mention of the cost of this, in my opinion,pointless project......100 BILLION pounds....yes BILLION......to give you an idea of what a billion is...if you were to place a pound coin on the floor and add a billion more alongside forming an unbreakable line....that line would stretch from England to New Zealand.......without any gaps between the coins.....just saying...........well worth the money to save 20 minutes on a train journey?

There has been a bit of a controversy on the news regarding school uniforms whereby a school blazer with the badge etched on can cost 50 quid........and some schools require the uniforms to be purchased from specialist shops so Primark is out.....BUT there is a move afoot where you may be allowed to buy the blazer anywhere an d buy the badge separately thus saving a lot of money.....but sadly this will stop the "specialist"shops ripping off the customers and making a fortune....how awful.

On the music scene Adele has been on TV pushing her latest album.....she is very popular but I'm afraid I don't get her....her latest release is a durge.....just my opinion....while I'm still allowed to have one........and I watched a documentary on The Beach Boys....back in the sixties I was a huge fan of the band with their great harmonies and surfing songs but I thought they totally lost their way when they brought out the Pet Sounds album which I bought and hated....this documentary did nothing to change my mind...they should have stuck to songs about the beach which is what they were designed for.

Finally for my "one of the worst records ever" spot I would like to feature one of our 60's pop stars...Vince Eager.....the song is called "The World's Lonliest Man" and I'm not sure what the drummer was hitting the drums with....I dread to think......with Vince's quivery voice, which is occasionally in tune,.... I can't find anything positive to say about this record which is probably why he is in fact The World's Loneliest Man .
