Week 527 – Buddy Love, All Carry On Included And Millions Are So Difficult To Budget With.

Here we are at Week 527!

Before we begin, I’d like to mention an actor who passed away this week and was in three of my favourite films that I have watched numerous times; ‘The Towering Inferno’, ‘The Count Of Monte Cristo’ and ‘The Man In The Iron Mask’.

R.I.P. Richard Chamberlain.

Week 525 – Two For A Change, Recommendations And How Much Shrimp Makes You Pink?

Here we are at Posting number 525. It must be a week or a good seven days since the last one!

Another eclectic mix of whatever. Now that I think on it, ‘eclectic’ and ‘mix of whatever’ are surely twin meanings??

Week 523 – Dio / Bonnet /Turner, Music Induced Wrath And ‘The Poseidon Adventure Wasn’t Mentioned Because Of The Polo-Neck!

Here it is, Week 523 which follows on from last weeks 522! Not much of a surprise!

First off, Leila made me realise something, I’ve lost an old skill. She mentioned a song of a favourite Rock Group of mine, ‘Rainbow’ and I realised that I didn’t know it. I was pleased (For my own sanity) that I’d never owned the album it came from. That was what made me think. If you love music and are of a certain age, albums and their included songs came to you hand in hand. This happened in a split second. As soon as someone mentioned a song you blinked and in that time you saw yourself opening the album cover and taking out the record. You then would state:

‘This Night’? – That’d be Billy Joel’s ‘Innocent Man Album.’

‘Spread Your Wings’? – That’d be Queen’s ‘News Of The World’ album’

‘Dirty Water’? – That’d be ‘The Quo’s ‘Rockin’ All Over The World’ Album’

Those three came to me and there would be a lot more but there is probably double that amount that I’d not know when at one time I did.

Week 515 – House Fog, Twenty Players No. 6 And Exercising The Grey Matter.

Week 515 is my first posting of 2025.

Hope everyone had a brilliant New Year!!!

It was just after the bells when I thought on something. My mum had been a wee bit upset, understandably, she gets this way at this time of the year since my dad died. I think all of us who have lost folks do and let’s be honest, it gets worse each year, not better, cause there is always someone else to add to the list!

Week 511 – Don’t Let Them kid You, Go Out For A Regular Beer and Inappropriate Ink.

Here we are at Week 511.

I hate this time of year.

I hate the greed of the supermarkets – Just look at any dangling clip-strips, dump bins and every piece of space that is occupied by some shite or another.
