Great British Bake-Off? National News?

The song I have sent you this week is from a DVD I made about a place you will know well...Hilbre Island which lies off the north western tip of the Wirral Peninsula.....it is about 2 miles out and can be visited at low tide....it is magnificent and there is a colony of seals close by....I virtually wrote all the lyrics to this song while spending a few hours out there....you can sit and one way you have the Welsh coast and the other way you have the northern and western coasts of Wirral....wonderful....nowhere else I'D rather be.

Saw a nice piece of news regarding the Great North Run....there's a young band called Little Comet and their drummer has major heart problems and requires a lot of medical help...the rest of the band did the run while playing their guitars to raise money for awareness to his problem....now THAT'S mates for you.....however this news obviously wasn't as important as the BBC losing the Great British Bake-off to channel 4.....I can't think of ANYTHING I could care less about....and this was NATIONAL news!!....it's pathetic...I've never watched the programme and incidentally Paul Hollywood went to my school (which explains a lot).

I have to laugh at the "advert" the BBC have put out....telling people they mustn't forget that when their kids go to university and stream programmes on to their computers they need to pay for a TV licence....so listen up all you students -when you see someone approaching you through the smoke from your spliffs and you are just about to down your 6th pint...make sure you have your licence money ready....good luck with that one BBC.....mind you the beeb need the money otherwise they wouldn't be able to pay the likes of G ary Linacre and Graham Norton a million a year....so come on...PAY UP!!!

.I've just discovered the ideal job....become a member of the House of Lords.....you walk in in the morning...have a 10 minute sleep...then walk out again....picking up your £300 on the way out....5 day week - £1500......78 grand a year...good value eh?...almost as good value as the HS2 rail link which is now costing 90 BILLION....and rising.....that would give EVERY person on this planet15 quid...EVERY person...and for a train line nobody wants....forget those poor souls who are starving....we need to save half an hour on our journeys from London to Birmingham...and the bloke in charge of this disgrace ...he is on 750 grand a year has been offered a better job with Rolls Royce which he has accepted..so he's O.K.......I'm SO pleased.

They are thinking of making sexist remarks a HATE crime....so no more whistling at your ladies in the street...or light hearted banter....you might upset those poor females with their skirts a few inches below their backsides and their blouses about as low as they will go....I think a lot of the female population need to get over themselves....seems to me they make a huge effort to look attractive then moan when fellas enjoy looking at them......there is no excuse for rape or for embarrassing girls but most of them are quite happy to have a laugh with blokes.....on the "Lorraine" programme in the morning the women are all going on about Poldark taking his shirt ofand fanning themselves with a competition to find the most attractive blokes in underpants....maybe we should all insist on THEM being arrested for outright sexism?....oh no sorry....it only applies one way.
