I would have been a great success in a Rock Band had it not been for two pieces of bad luck. I could not sing or play a musical instrument. So it was not to be. Even though I was firmly convinced that I could have handled the groupies.

JH, you were merely born too soon, nowadays you need neither of these skills to succeed, why don't you make the effort to break into the industry now? You are never too old, look at the story of Seasick Steve.
ReplyDeleteSky viewer is now mistakenly using quotes from this blog to prove how rude and unpleasant I was to him/her! Well it's good for a laugh.

ReplyDeleteYou guys were on form yesterday. Loved some of the posts.
Mercifully, CB's birthday is now past, thank goodness and I await the weekends papers with trepidation, lest the poor girl be caught up in this JT nonmsense without her knowing. I do hope I'm wrong, but new names are about to appear and I would love to see the other injunctions overturned. Not thro' malice, but it pisses me off in the extreme, to find that money can buy legal silence for 'wrongdoing', but poor Joe Public continues to get stuffed.
astroplums, sky-viewer continues in his/her attack on my "frenzied" blog against him/her, I am now becoming paranoid in that I suspect he/she would like to draw me into a situation where I am banned. One wonders if that has hapened before to others?
ReplyDeleteI hope your trepidation is unfounded as I really believe CB became embroiled initially through naivety, but is now so caught up in the whole fame scene she may be dragged down with the more hardened!
Excuse my rant in previous, but I am getting so hacked off at the lack of values in our society. I am now sounding like my father.
ReplyDeleteThat a ball in the back of a net, outstrips all forms of loyalty, bothers me greatly.
Perhaps growing prudishness is to be my mid-life crisis.
astroplums, 'tis not prudish to have standards my ansome, you should be proud that you are inherently decent. However should I ever begin to sound like my mother I fervently trust someone will do the decent thing and press my mute button! If you are in fact having a mid life crisis, could you keep me informed as to your more outrageous moves as I am constantly in need of amusement.
ReplyDeleteInterest piece on DNA turned into a racial issue by an ex comedian. Surely they could have found someone else.
ReplyDeleteThe old pennies thing makes you realise just how daft & cumbersome that system was.

ReplyDeleteI nearly considered circumcision!
How long before the people who protested that the proportion of ethnic DNA samples was much higher realise they have, in fact, shot themselves in the foot. Surely the race card must be almost played out by now. I sometimes feel like screaming Is it cos I'se white.
ReplyDeleteastro, re circumcision, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Have you also considered Rachel's views on the matter.
ReplyDeleteastro, Loveday was reading over my shoulder and asked if the matter is big enough to take a lot of thought, she's such a BITCH!

ReplyDeleteIt was, 1'm afraid, Rachel who suggested it. Then I woke up.
Dare I ask what woke you, or are we in sweet dream territory again?
ReplyDeleteMust stop eating cheese before bed.
ReplyDeleteastro, if you enjoy your dreams, opt for the cheeseboard every time my dear. Can I drum up a little sympathy, as I am running out of self pity? I have been self treating for gout in my wrist, [a long standing problem], for the last five weeks, with no appreciable improvement. My quack paid a courtesy visit today, looked at the wrist and said it was hardly surprising there was no improvement as the wrist is fractured! Poor poor Val, off to hospital tomorrow to have it set. Boots the Chemist are all out of jars of self pity, so I am soliciting a few aw, poor yous.
ReplyDeletejadedoldie, Your 0014:
ReplyDeleteI can sympathise. A fractured wrist can be extremely painful. Get well soon.
jadedoldie
ReplyDeleteHim in doors is suffering gout in the toes, at the moment, a long standing problem brought on by eating too many grapefruit.
Hope your wrist is on the mend soon.
JH your TOS blog last evening.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your two very good and to the point blogs re DNA. This government is building a police state, but unfortunately the majority just don't see it and I doubt a change of government will stop it.
Danedweller,
ReplyDeleteThank you. The Government is there to serve us and not the other way around as many local councils appear to believe.
It is not the government that worries me but those supine civilians that allow them to get away with it. These people terrify me.
If some people are daft enough to believe that politicians have only the best interests of the people at heart then clearly they have not heard about 'MP's Expenses'.
Margaret Hodge is taking a good slapping in the Mail Online today. Her amazing idea that immigrants should earn their benefits has earned HER an avalanche of adverse comments. How could people possibly imagine that the General Election we MUST have soon could influence her! The government have obviously had an epiphany, yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteJH, while we realise who is supposedly the master, our democratically elected goverment has missed the point. As for local councillors, just don't get me started on them.
I haven't gone to the hospital today to get my wrist sorted because my GP thinks it would not be a healthy environment for me. Once again the hospital is practically shut down because of another outbreak of winter vomiting disease. A month ago during their last outbreak they farmed their in-patients out to two other hospitals. Surprise surprise, those hospitals then became infected. Duh.

ReplyDeleteMP's are rarely in government to serve us but to serve themselves at every opportunity. It is no coincidence that so many MPs have decided to stand down at the next election, now the gravy train has hit the buffers.
