GRRRRRR Corner ...............

A question – can I shout and swear today , as I’ve just discovered three particular bands I like are “touring” over here – Faith no More , Fishbone and Suicidal Tendencies.

Now I use the word tour very , very loosely here , as it consists of playing one gig at Download Festival in Donnington Park and another one in London !!!

Typical !!!



Sorted :)

Today’s question of political corruption in the U.K. can be sorted out using three simple steps -

1. Heads on Spikes
2. New Legislation.
3. Move on ……………

Easy as that :)



Nostalgia

I was over my friend Leo’s at the weekend delivering his gift from Atsu , and he mentioned an old motorcycle show at a nearby place.

He said was riding there on his 1919 Triumph and casually mentioned if I wanted to take the 1922 Levis ( pronounced Lehvis , and not like the jeans of the same name ) - I could.

I’ll mention at this point the oldest motorcycle I’ve ridden on the road as opposed to round and round his garden , is a 1976 Triumph , which is ultra modern compared to the Levis.

So the Levis is basically a bicycle with an engine , no front brake , push ( bump ) start , has all manual engine controls , oil burning - front and rear lamps, no stoplight or indicators , no suspension , hand change - crash gearbox , and of course a top speed of 40mph, which is probably good considering the bicycle tyres.

YE GODS !!!………….. I’d better start writing my will out ………..hadn’t I :)
