Summary: .First off there has been coverage of an event called "Presidents Dinner" where millionaire celebs meet up each year and raise millions for children's charities....30 attractive young ladies are hired as "hostesses" and are required to dress in a particular way and stroll around mingling with the guests....then out of the gutter comes an "undercover" journalist who reports "sexual harassment" of these girls....the upshot is that not ONE of the girls has complained and NO-ONE at the dinner saw anything untoward...but apparently this "undercover" agent saw things EVERYBODY else missed....the organisers of the event (which has gone on for years) have decided to cancel it and close down the organisation...giving the £20 million raised to children's charities....so all this wannabe James Bond has achieved is to remove a nice little paid job for young ladies and to stop millions of pounds going to children's charities....nice one...a brilliant result I don't think. What next? they will be closing down all the hospitals because some reporter thinks he saw a nurse being sexually harassed ? And on the subject of sex....the new manager of the England ladies football team...Phil Neville... has been "FOUND OUT"....apparently someone has dug deep enough to find an inappropriate tweet he made thirteen years ago...shock horror....it's getting to the stage where no-one will hire women in case they mentally scar them....perhaps they'll all be happy then?....oh no...I forgot ...THAT would be sexist...I would hate to have to interview a black guy and a white female for a job...whoever you gave the job to would either be racist or sexist....a no win situation or what. I had to laugh at a report about some Chinese tourists in Venice who complained about being charged £1000 for a fish dinner...and a Brit saying he was charged £450 for breakfast.....the mayor of Venice responded by calling tourists "tight fisted".....I've been to Venice and was not at all impressed....totally overrated....and the problem with these foreign climes is you tend to get hit with an unexpected bill AFTER you have eaten...so you are a sitting duck to be ripped off.....I remember visiting Benal Madena in Spain and got chatting to an English guy who had opened a bar....as it was situated above other local establishments he put a sign at the bottom of the stairs advertising his pub...which he was instantly told by the police to remove....thus leaving his new business to struggle...whereas other bars in similar locations were O.K....but this is not racist is it?...not much. British television has hit a new low....it is so bad...especially the BBC which COSTS ME!!!....the news is pure unnecessary scare mongering...and the reporters are a disgrace...an example being a man who had just lost a child in an accident being asked "how did it feel when you saw your child dead in the road?"....just one of the many utterly STUPID unnecessary questions these amateur reporters ask.....and I think they make a guess at the weather forecast which they rarely get right....not to mention the obscene salaries they pay to third rate presenters .....they had a football match on last Friday night peak viewing time....who, apart from the supporters of both teams is interested?...NOT ME....it really is pathetic...I;m wondering how long they can get away with it.....and so are THEY probably. And finally...the song this week is entitled Tribute To Ricky Nelson.....I was around when the rock and roll tsunami struck the world and at school we all quickly found our favourite recording stars....mine was Ricky Nelson and I loved everything he did especially the guitar solos on the records which were played by James Burton....never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that 60 years on I would be singing Ricky's hits in concert with James...it was surreal....I did 8 concerts over the years with JB who I now re(continued)
