Shownotes Transcript
The song this week is from my "Stars Over 45" album...it is called The Ballad of the Forgotten Pop Stars and is a tribute to those who have entertained us through the years....some of which have made a comebacks since I wrote this....it is available from my website www.donwoods.co.uk
. was looking through the TV programmes last Sunday afternoon.....on the BBC between 11a.m. and 8p.m. there were 9 programmes (not including the news)....7 of which were repeats.....THIS is supposed to be entertainment....they are having a laugh....it's a wonder they don't repeat the licence fee....television in this country has reached an all time low.
Talking of which....Jeremy Kyle has been drafted in to co-present the ITV morning show....so now we have Kate Garraway and Mr. Kyle interviewing guests all talking at the same time.......and now...wait for it....it is ILLEGAL to stream films without paying for them....you can get up to 4 YEARS in jail........have you ever heard such nonsense ....perhaps if there was anything at all worth watching we wouldn't have to watch films......
They have announced that the rail fares are going up by around 3% ....on the day a train was derailed in London....nice timing...fortunately no-one was hurt........but it's O.K. because the huge profit will go into maintaining our railways....yeah sure......and parents smacking children has reared its ugly head again with the doogooders in full flight.....even a tap on the wrist is unacceptable...
And finally...I am beginning to wonder what the point is of the 5 day weather forecast ... they can't get it right for the next day....I appreciate it is difficult to predict the weather a week ahead so why bother?...
