Really Strange Weather on the Costa Blanca
.Here we go with yet another week of podcasts. The weather has been very strange and it would seem to be affecting the electrical equipment in the studio and a massive electric storm on Sunday evening didn't really help. I was busy early on and my first chat with Don Woods became an evening event. Here was my chat with Don.
washed away homes and devastated towns and villages.....if this nice weather continues
we will probably have a hose pipe ban....watch this space
The football saga has been filling the news with clubs and players licking their lips at the
chance to make even more money with a new super league....top of the bill on the news
before going out like a damp squib......was this the end of the world?....listening to the
news coverage it seemed it was.......I know football is everything to many people but
personally I couldn't care less one way or another....when you have so called "fans"
throwing bricks through the windows of the coaches of opposing teams it's time to get
real before the game loses it's way....I played football for six years in a local league but
looking and listening to the rants of "supporters" I Iwould be willing to bet very few of
them have ever kicked a football.........I have to smile at the pub conversations which
always begin with "What we need is blah blah blah".......if they were any good they would
be out playing on a Saturday instead of watching....but there you go...just my opinion.
The BBC are still getting slated over the blanket coverage of the royal funeral....and
Nicholas Witchell is taking a lot of stick with his reading of the "body language" between
William and Harry in an attempt to invent news....Every time I see Nicholas Witchell I have
to laugh as I remember him reporting on the Royals several years ago when they were
skiing and Charles William and Harry were sitting in front of reporters and Witchell
shouted a question to them and Charles not realising his mike was on said "I can't stand
that bloke" and the two sons burst out laughing....I really enjoyed that.
I always watch a bit of TV before I go to sleep as I find it helps me nod off......especially
"Match of The Day" on Saturday nights with the recorded crowds....by the time we get to
the pundits I am away.....but last Friday there was nothing worth watching so I thought I
would try Graham Norton to see if had improved.....it hadn't....there they all were killing
themselves laughing at nothing....with George Clooney as a guest on a screen with
everything he said being greeted by everyone howling laughing with Graham as always
issuing his annoying guffaw.... which actually left me wondering what they are actually
laughing at....how much longer do we have to be subjected to this tripe?....the BBC has
reached a new low.
I went to Wales last week to see if my static was still there....it is just outside Caernarfon
and at last we ca are allowed over the border....while I was there I visited Llanberis which
is spectacular....however I couldn't believe how empty it was....I have never seen it like
that....I walked along the huge lake and literally saw about half a dozen people....very
strange....but very pleasant....hopefully they will keep the border open.
The song this week is about this wonderful part of the world and was the follow up to my
now famous "How To Say Llanfairpwll etc"....it is called The Magic of Wales and is again
sung by my pal Paul Damian.....my tribute to the Land of Song.
