.Wrestling is back on our TVs on Saturday afternoons....having been involved in it all (NOT the actual fighting) I do enjoy it....when I went over to the States to work on my wrestling album for my mate Adrian Street he got me involved as his "barrister" from London...Sir Cedric Everhard Hathaway...and I had to accompany him into the ring and make "legal" decisions on various wrestling matches....which of course were totally biassed...which used tp get the crowd very upset....however I lived to tell the tale....I met a lot of wrestlers over there and they were great guys....although it's all stage managed make no mistake these fellas are fit athletes and gymnasts....
2,Paul McCartney has made a special appearance at The Cavern to promote his latest album....the press stating this was "where it all began"....well I suppose it was close to where it all began....they were interviewing those who were lucky enough to get a ticket....all very excited about standing inside the famous Cavern.....I notice no-one mentioned the wonderful decision of the council at the time to knock the original place down and build a car park.....still why burst the bubble...................and on the music scene I received an Email telling me I was the star of some chaps stag night and he sent me a video of his mates singing a song I wrote about a place called Bidston Hill on Wirral......it was really funny and interesting to hear one of my compositions performed by a bunch of young fellas....beer assisted of course.
3.We are awaiting a hosepipe ban which will supposedly take place on 5th of August....this is only in the north west despite 25% of our water being lost due to leakage....the company responsible for all this is United Utilities who no doubt will have excuses ready for their incompetence.....anyone using a hosepipe after this date will face a fine of up to £1000.....I would be very interested to know how a public company can issue fines?....under what legislation is the offence?....could be wrong but I would like to see someone challenge this nonsense......oh that's right...I forgot...they have to take care of their shareholders first....silly me.
4.We have discussed fake news in the past.....it has been a big news item of late.....it is a perfect way to manipulate our gullible public who believe everything they are told....which is why we have billionaires wandering around.....I am sick and tired of unfunny jokes about the likes of Donald Trump etc.....he WASN'T "walking in front of the Queen".....and he didn't "snub a young black kid"....if people take the trouble to watch the video they will see Trump walk away from the kid and bring him back a present....we have always been a nation of sheep but modern technology multiplies the problem....and it's not the perpetrators who need sorting out it's the idiots who believe the tripe they are told.....wake up and smell the coffee !!.......and the news channels need to get sorted...they say they are trying to attract younger viewers so we are subjected to interviews with plastic celebs off the soaps and Love Island etc....who I neither know or want to know....there's one good thing about being 75 (which I am not...yet)....you don't have to pay a licence fee for the garbage presented to us.
5.As wrestling appears to be making a comeback the song this week is a gentle classic from an album I composed and produced for Exotic Adrian Street.....this was one of several he entered the ring to......we started out as "Adrian Street and The Boston Crabs"....but when he went to the states they didn't know what a Boston Crab was so we became The Piledrivers.....I wrote and produced two albums for him ... tracks from which made MTV and got into a film.....one of the albums has been re-released in the States....I knew it would come back to haunt me.
