Shownotes Transcript

The song this week is one of the several I wrote for Penny Page and her singing duck Googi....after the success of "Googi The Liverpool Duck" I came up with quite a few ideas for her...this being one of them....this was the demo I did originally "I'd Like To Be A Cowboy".....I changed to title to "cowGIRL" for the record she made....as Googi is a girl..........

The outcry over the publishing of the BBC salaries has slowly come to a halt...with of course no follow up....the BBC obviously don't see anything wrong with paying Chris Evans over two million pounds for his "talent"...the fact that this is the equivalent of 80 nurses salaries would seem to be O.K.....and of course the women are moaning because they don't get the same as the blokes...when Tess Daley pulls in 350 grand a year for doing nothing...and not doing it very well...I think it's time to give us all a refund on our licence fee.....we are told there is no money for firemen and police men yet a brave newsreader can get a small fortune.There was a young lady on a phone in and she was asked whether she watches Love Island...and she said she can't stand reality shows and rarely watches TV because there is nothing worth watching...she watches YouTube...and she is 21...I think the future of television has a major problem.

The scientists have been at it again....they have "proved" after much research that walking your dog is good for you....because you get exercise.....well what do you know...exercise is good for you...wow.......these "scientists" probably get BBC salaries for discovering this information..........also since our wonderful government brought out the law banning smoking in cars where there are children there has been ONE prosecution nationwide...so that's really working well....what these so called law makers don't seem to grasp is enforcement of these stupid laws is virtually impossible as the empty headed offenders totally disregard being told what to do....maybe they should try it themselves before coming up with this stuff.....instead of leaving others to get on with it.

I saw an article on Facebook featuring a picture of Vinnie Jones with a shotgun standing over 100 dead foxes laid out in a big square which he was proud to announce he had shot.....if this is true I don't think it'll do "tough guy" Vinnie a lot of good....I can't stand him anyway....I'll watch this space......I just don't get what people get out of killing animals for no reason....it must boost their egos.

As you know I am not a fan of people making records who don't belong on them...footballers..actors etc....but what I just do not get is the likes of these so called celebs releasing albums of their favourite songs by the original artists...Levi Roots for example has an album "out" of his favourite reggae songs....what is the point?....and I suppose he'll actually make money from it?....what ever happened to talent....you certainly don't need it these days...................on a lighter note my golfing pal has a mate who went to school with Daniel Craig who is from Hoylake....he says that Daniel never played any sport in school and used to come round to his house for tea....he then comes up with the classic remark...."Now here's me a concrete sprayer...and HE'S JAMES BOND!!!!"....priceless.
