…it’s been all World Cup…and as usual England are consistent….I don’t know how much the so-called expert pundits get…but whatever it is it’s too much. They sit there and go through the details of a match you have just watched…with all sorts of suggestions,,,bottom line WE LOST…AS USUAL. But what I can’t understand is how upset people get…it’s a football match…with a bunch of overpaid sportsmen…that’s all…it’s not the end of the world!! I’m not a betting man but I put a fiver on Germany to win the cup….you can’t bet against them guys
…….and you have to laugh…the tennis has the “hawkeye” technology…the rugby has the video playback for the ref…and world football has splashed out on a can of shaving foam. Next we’ve got Wimbledon where Andy Murray will crash out along the way in front of “Murray Mount”….why aren’t Djokovic and Nadal among the constant flow of immigrants into this country…at least they would come in handy…..what gets me every time is we are still going on about the 66 World Cup
……mind you while the schools are told that there must be no winners or losers I can’t see us ever getting anywhere in top class sport unless it’s throwing the bean bag. There was news coverage of a local cricket match whereby some moron went into the changing rooms while the match was on and stole all the mobile phones…however there was a tracker device on one of them so the whole team chased after the culprit and caught him…and handed him over to the police…with a few cricket bat impressions on him I would think
……… Also a classic where there was CCTV footage of a rough looking guy in a bank who was having a bad day and in comes a guy in a crash helmet with a gun…so the bloke at the counter starts yelling at him and realises it’s not a real gun so he goes for him….the bad guy takes off out of the bank followed by Mr.Angry who picks up a fire extinguisher on the way and clobbers this bloke with it….the robber then hits Mr. Angry with his crash helmet but Mr.A’s mate saw all this and joined in….and “apprehended” the bank robber….and got an award from the police…who never mentioned what state the criminal was in.
……and finally….track three on my Doowop CD is “King of the Hop”….this came about when one of the lads on a Wednesday night played Bobby Darin’s “Queen of the Hop”…and I thought there’s never been a KING…so off O went and I’ve given my pal Joe Conroy the honour of being the main man…HOWEVER….you also get a mensh (Vinny was a macho quarterback). Runaround Sue is a number we do occasionally at our weekly jam sessions with the Cheshire Cats so I based the beat on that…..it’s all rock and roll.
