BITS AND BLOGS - PART 2


.... been working at home always and always - music.

I always record Stocki who does a BBC Radio Ulster Programme every Sunday. I download on Monday (as I do with Gilles Peterson and DJ Fitz).

Stocki is a big Greenbelt man. His music is wide ranging and touches on stuff I have never heard. Some of it not me. But today a heartfelt show which touches on the need and beauty of being vulnerable.
He even played Robbie Williams! - saying how he is quoting Saint Augustine in his lyrics ......... a new one for me!
Why not listen to his show which is on 'listen again' for the next seven days.

Joan had a few days being abused by her elderly Mother. Others I know suffer from from the same drain on the emotions. She is not well and suffers deeply. Some terrible nasty comments to Joan and her brother - the only ones she really relates to. hmmm

DRUCKER.
The Management Consultant died recently;Link
"I am appalled by the greed of today's executives".


Sufjan Stevens .......... good article in yesterdays Observer. If you go to the Gilles Peterson pages you can vote for Sujan Stevens in his annual all winners poll. Me and Charlie went to this show last year and plan to be there for this one. Why not vote?

I love the pens of Lammy.

Rugby League is over for me until February 2006.
There is an International on Saturday but the Great Britain Team failed to get there.
I love the game.
I yearn.
I will watch the game on Saturday and read my Rugby Leaguer .......... but my week-ends will not be the same until the new season starts hmmmm

Was in W Yorkshire last week and in the same time as my old mate Ken Montgomery. We worked together for ten years. He was in Barnsley running an AGM for that big North East Region of YMCA's while I was at the Northern College.
My often two hours commute x 2 in one day was nothing compared with this 6 hour train journey to get there and more that six to get back.
Loved being with these all age group of Staff and Board members.

Games without Frontiers.

I cancelled my Madonna album order from Play dot com.
Seeing her in her knickers at the MTV awards ........ put me off for life!

Tomorrow I was due to be doing my stuff in Sweden but - cancelled ..... I blame Madonna!

It is said that, on average, we lie 20 times a day!
I know some who do more.
I need to think about me - do I?


Had a coffee with Mr Singh after Church yesterday ....... he asked me how I was - so I told him about my bad knee and my pending eye hospital visit....... well - pending in January.
I also told him about the new exercises I had used this week to 'shake and vac' the Yorkshire crowd.
It was great introducing Mr Singh to a few people at Greenbelt and them saying "Mr Singh - I know you ....."

SHEILA NEWS;
Joy is in Barbados - working!
Ann is filming in Liverpool 'you *re wh*t you e*t'
....... her 'Pimp my ride UK' MTV programmes, which she made, are just starting their replay on Channel 5 for the first time.

I am not a C******y so get me out of here .............
