Summary: On the Olympic scene our wonderful Government have done a bit of a U-turn -they will only be awarding ONE honour for a gold medal in the honours list. Good one eh?...how do you pick ONE? Recognise ALL the successful athletes…or none at all…Will someone please tell me what Beckham has …a with a personality by-pass….The banks are being brought to task about advertising “free” banking when they charge for all sorts….. We all moan about the banks but nothing seems to change.Gary Barlowe did a great advertising job for the X Factor…so much so I actually watched it…BIG MISTAKE…what a load of contrived rubbish…..time to draw the curtain on this one I think...tripe. A while back we did a gig for a local Lordat his mansion on the Wirral.We set up in a marquee in the grounds where all the local gentry arrived in their Bentleys and proceeded to knock back the gin like it was going out of fashion.We were in a corner of the tent and when they had all settled down for the meal we began with our background repertoire. Everyone was well oiled and not taking any notice of the band.After about an hour I decided to take a break…for half an hour…had a few beers and went back on.We were just about to start up when his Lordship staggers over and says “You chaps are working very hard why not take a break”….NO-ONE had missed us…so we took another half hour blow….it aint rock and roll but it’s near enough.
