Summary: I spent this afternoon on my kayak in Chester….it was paradise…so I thought I’d send you a tribute to this wonderful city which I composed many years ago…it was actually a B side of a vinyl…the A side was a song I did about Chester Zoo which I sold to the Zoo who used it on radio and TV adverts (handy royalties)…this is my original version of the song…the one I marketed to the Zoo was sung by a good friend of mine called Julie Bright who I used on a lot of my demos which required a female vocal…she was great. Bit of a panic going on around here regarding “necessary” financial cuts which have to be made because of cash shortage…this doesn’t seem to effect things down south as the politicians have awarded themselves a 9% wage increase…I’m so happy for them….no wonder Scotland want to get out of it all…this will be the news now for the next couple of weeks….I’m thinking of starting an “Independent Wirral” campaign…..I’ve never believed in aliens but when I look at our government I’m beginning to wonder. I’m delighted that the little lad with the medical problem is getting sorted out after his parents recent disgraceful ordeal…but WHY do they have to have BBC reporters outside the hospital in Spain and then in Prague?...just TELL us the news instead of giving these reporters a free holiday on the licence fee…same thing with the new royal baby….we have to sit and look at some reporter struggling to fill in the time outside the hospital…telling us NOTHING!!!....GIVE US SOME NEWS!!...or refund our licence!! The Tate Gallery in Liverpool is having an exhibition of modern art…hmm…I maybe totally wrong but I just don’t see four or five squares painted on a canvass as being art?...it’s rubbish….but the “experts” are all gathered round drooling over this stuff….I thought Tracy Emin’s unmade bed on display was pretty hard to take but this tripe…..I must be missing something….people can certainly get fooled these days. I remember years ago when someone put a canvass on the floor of a scrapyard and got kids to throw paint over it and ride their BMXs over it…the finished job was put on display and all the “experts” (who didn’t know haw it was produced) could see real “meaning” in this work of art…what a bunch of plonkers Did you see my mate Prince Harry on the news….they asked him about his thoughts on the new royal babba…he said he was delighted…and they then said this would take him further down the line for the throne…he just laughed and said “Yeah…GREAT!!”…..he is working with injured army guys and girls getting them into sport…you gotta love this lad.
