Summary: All this tripe about political correctness where you can't say this and you can't say that because it might offend someone, is becoming very tiresome....not to mention the 100 different genders we can choose from...this just proves how polite and tolerant the general public are by putting up with this garbage....when one of these publicity seeking characters come up with,for example, the expression"ladies and gentlemen" possibly being offensive or the many other stupid opinions it needs someone to tell them in no uncertain terms where to go....and when the P.C. brigade rise up-tell them as well....we are being manipulated by a bunch of morons whose only chance of a bit of "fame" is to come up with stupid ideas ....which actually offend ME!!!... For me to respect and enjoy entertainment there has to be actual talent....I have nothing against TV personalities making their fortune with very little of it...for example the likes of Jonathan Ross or Graham Norton who I appreciate are very popular but anyone can do what they do and don't get me going on Ant and Dec....not anyone can do,for example,what Bruce Forsyth did...because he had TALENT......we are now subjected to "celebrities" in the shape of reality show characters and "Gogglebox" couch potatoes watching TV and commenting........so I was delighted to watch Jeff Lynne's E.L.O. on the BBC live concert....what a great show with wonderful songs and brilliant musicians.....THAT'S TALENT!!! I have been watching a programme on caravanning with Shane Richie who visits caravan sites and raves on about how wonderful they are in a none stop effort to convince people that this is how to spend your holidays...as opposed to going abroad....all very well but old Shane arrives at each site and receives the biggest and best luxury static on the site....last week a six person luxury job with a few big TVs and fitted kitchen...the lot.....very nice considering he was on his own.....he obviously gets this free as he is making a TV programme and obviously gets a nice fee on top of this....but what is never mentioned is the price to stay in one of these virtual hotels....perhaps if he went out in a two berth tourer and had a week of rain and gusting winds he wouldn't be so keen on "caravanning". I am surprised that the ladies England football team is called the "Lionesses"...which is obviously a female term....are they not suppose to have a choice as to what they are?....perhaps the "England Liongenderfluids"...this would make more sense in our politically correct world.....I watched as much as I could stand of their match against Germany which they lost.... and missing a penalty as usual in front of a "capacity" crowd ...I'm still not convinced and I think the ladies game has a long way to go....especially when you compare it to the Liverpool/Man City game....amazing quality if not some dodgy decisions but riveting stuff.....come on ladies let's start winning the big games. The song this week is one I wrote for my pal Paul Damian and is a track on the album I produced for him which includes the now famous How To Say Llanfairpwll...etc. which has ha 2.2 million hits on YouTube......this one is called The Legend of Beddgelert and is about the demise of a dog,named Gelert, which belonged to Llewellyn,a Welsh Prince back in the 13th century....it is a very sad tale....the dog's grave is visited by many tourists through the summer months in the actual village of Beddgelert (which means grave of Gelert).....since putting it on YouTube it has had 10 thousand hits....and a lot of nice comments....so here it is...hankies at the ready...The Legend of Beddgelert
