As we have just had remembrance day where our fallen soldiers are remembered I
thought I would give a mention to the National Remembrance Arboretum in
Staffordshire....which I have visited twice.....it is the ultimate tribute to the heroic men
and women who have given their lives for their country and is deeply moving....it's
hard to take in the numbers of names in the rows and rows of tributes around the
huge area of the park......such a terrible waste of young lives and the grief resulting
from this is unimaginable.
Right let's go.....the cricket fraternity is still under fire for racial remarks in the past to
those poor hard done to overpaid professional cricketers who obviously don't like
being called names....so let's have a reality check....cricket is BORING....probably
the most boring of all sports and I would think very few people give a monkeys
whether some wimp has been upset because he didn't like something someone
said....are they incapable of answering back?....GET OVER
YOURSELVES.....this,together with the recent hammering by New Zealand.has only
damaged what's left of any interest in the game as far as I am concerned.
Still on the sporting theme olympic champion Adam Peaty was interviewed on the
news and what a great example to young sportsmen....are you listening you
whingers?.....he is such a nice chap with great charisma....I am a fan.....and I bet he
wouldn't be upset if anyone called him names....mind you that would be an error
looking at the size of him.........great lad.
I also watched the women's rugby and I actually enjoyed it.....the pace of the game
makes it easier to understand the rules for those who don't know them.....what made
me laugh was at the end of the game the England girls didn't have a mark on their
white shirts and shorts.....unlike the blokes who come off covered in mud and
blood.....
As if TV programmes aren't bad enough with the return of the dreadful Blankety
Blank with Bradley Walsh going for the world record of appearances on virtually
every TV programme......we have the upcoming "I'm a celebrity get me out of here"
where the viewer is subjected to a collection of so called celebrities, who have had
their day, all sitting around a camp fire and doing stupid pointless "challenges" like
eating spiders.....and to add to the tripe we have Ant and Dec involved.....not sure
why......I fail to see the point of it all especially when they all get on with each
other.....the viewer wants to see arguments and fall outs whether they know it or
not......definitely worth giving it a miss.....at least the money they get doesn't come out
of my licence fee.
There is a young chap who presents the weather forecast on the BBC....his name is
Owain Evans.....he is Welsh and a total delight with his selection of colourful
suits......he is impossible to watch without smiling......what I didn't know was he is a
drummer and he has just completed a 24 hour drum session in aid of Children In
Need......and raised 1.6 million pounds for the charity....I have to salute this fella....he
is an absolute star.
On the political front the Save The Planet Show in Scotland has come to and
end.....that's about all I can say because I still don't know what it was all about.....so
that is my input.....thank you.
Now it's time for my one of the worst records ever made spot......this one is very bad
and is beyond description which is very strange because it is by one of biggest stars
.....David Bowie.....this was the first record he made before creating his many
images such as a spider from Mars etc.......the song is called "The Laughing
Gnome"......unbelievably by David Bowie.
