The song I have sent you this week is one I wrote for my pal\u2026 wrestler Adrian Street\u2026.he used to enter the ring to it\u2026.\u201dImagine What I Could Do To You\u201d\n\nBack in the day I took it down to RCA Records along with other stuff and was told it was possibly the worst record in the history of music (probably is)\u2026however it ended up on MTV in America and in a movie called \u201cGrunt\u201d.\n\nAt the time I put the quote from RCA on the sleeve along with a health warning\u2026..I included this on an album I produced for Adrian\u2026which has recently surfaced again and two record companies want to release it on blue vinyl\u2026so take that RCA !!\n\n \n\n2.Every week we have a jam session at a local venue where we raise money for sick kids charities\u2026www.thecheshirecats.co.uk \u2026this week we had a special guest in the shape of legendary songwriter Barry Mason.\n\nHe sang a selection of his hits and told the story behind them \u2026 including Delilah\u2026The Last Waltz\u2026Bicyclettes de Belsize\u2026.and others by Tom Jones..Englebert\u2026Des O\u2019Connor and the Drifters etc\u2026.I put a band together to back him and we put a LOT of work in\u2026and with only one rehearsal with Barry we stormed the place which was packed to the rafters.\n\nIt was a great night and nice of the man to help our fundraising\u2026and he looks incredible for his age.\n\n \n\n3.There is a programme on TV called \u201cThe Jump\u201d where celebs are trained to race down toboggan runs and carry out ski jumps\u2026I\u2019ve always thought this was an accident waiting to happen and it has\u2026.Olympian Beth Tweddle ended up with a broken neck and is still in hospital and there were several other injuries\u2026I remember last year Mike Tyndall came a cropper on the ski jump and was very lucky not to do some serious damage to himself\u2026the fact that he is a rugby player built like a brick outhouse probably helped.\n\nWe all like to see celebs making fools of themselves but we don\u2019t want to see them getting injured\u2026.can\u2019t see the show lasting.\n\n \n\n4.There has been quite a bit of news coverage on the big walkout by the fans at a Liverpool game\u2026.the club were going to raise the price of front seats to \xa377 each\u2026..but have since backed down\u2026which means they didn\u2019t need to do it in the first place\u2026.oh sorry\u2026I forgot about GREED!!!!...they are having a laugh\u2026.they could let the fans in free and STILL make a fortune\u2026.mind you anyone who pays silly prices to watch a football match needs help\u2026..these club owners couldn\u2019t give a monkeys for the fans.\n\n \n\n5.The Flying Scotsman has been put back into service after ten years of repairwork\u2026it is a fabulous piece of machinery and is highly respected all over the world\u2026and\u2026wait for it\u2026I have been on the footplate\u2026it was about 11 years ago when I worked with Monty Lister on Radio Merseyside\u2026he was mad keen on locomotives so we did a programme on this famous train when it was on display in Llangollen\u2026we interviewed the driver and I remember it being VERY hot in there\u2026..our outings took us all over the place and I have even flown in a second world war plane (the name of which escapes me)\u2026and been in an igloo in Norway\u2026to name a few\u2026.great days.
