The song I\u2019ve sent you this week is one you will relate to as you know the subject well \u201cSong of Anglesey\u201d sung by my pal Paul Damian\u2026although it is now on a CD album it was originally the B side of my now viral \u201cHow To Say Llanfairpwll\u2026.etc\u201d\u2026.so in effect it sold just a many\u2026which was a lot\u2026.the long word song is approaching a million hits on YouTube.\n\nI wrote quite a few songs for Paul and my one regret is I never kept the outtakes\u2026.I don\u2019t know whose language was worse\u2026his or mine\u2026..great days\u2026Paul now lives in Spain and I miss him a lot.\n\n \n\n2.There is an obesity crisis in this country\u2026or so we keep getting told on the news\u2026along with an increase in dementure\u2026.and lung problems with fuel emissions\u2026etc\u2026etc\u2026.I\u2019m beginning to wonder whether there is anyone who is actually well out there\u2026..perhaps if people didn\u2019t smoke they wouldn\u2019t have lung problems and if they got off their mobile phones and did some exercise they wouldn\u2019t be obese\u2026or am I over simplifying things\u2026.or perhaps if the news was a bit more positive it might help instead of doom and gloom.\n\nThe latest is they want to ban \u201ctackling\u201d in school rugby\u2026.in case the poor little chaps get hurt\u2026so that looks like the end of future top class rugby for this country?\n\nWe only need 30 minutes of news but we get 24 hours\u2026thus we have 23 and a half hours of padding.\n\n \n\n3.We have chosen our song entry for the Eurovision\u2026..Joe and Jake are flying the flag\u2026.I watched the other contenders and theirs was by far the best and I think the girls will like them so there is a possibility we will get more than nil pwa this year\u2026..I can\u2019t remember the name of the song \u2026 oops\u2026but it was quite good.\n\nApparently the two lads are off the The Voice\u2026so Mr.Cowell wonthave a finger in the pie for a change.\n\nI must say I watch the Eurovision and I enjoy it\u2026even though I wish I didn\u2019t.\n\n \n\nIt was amazing\u2026Ant and Dec weren\u2019t involved!!!....can\u2019t understand it\u2026.they are NEVER off our screens!!!....perhaps they should take a well earned holiday (couple of years?) and give us all a rest\u2026we deserve it.\n\nThey are even on the adverts..so there is NO escape.\n\n \n\n \n\n4.I also watched the Academy Awards\u2026.is there some sort of controversy about the lack of black nominees?....er\u2026.I think so as they have been going on and on about it for months!!\n\nI must say that Chris Rock was brilliant\u2026I am a huge fan of his and think he is one of the best comedians around.\n\nI always think it\u2019s all a bit too glamorous and out dated for todays market\u2026.and fail to see the point\u2026what do I care if Joe Bloggs wins an award\u2026doesn\u2019t effect ME in the slightest\u2026.I think the money could be better spent elsewhere.\n\n \n\n5.There is a new programme on TV featuring Julia Bradberry doing Lake District walks\u2026it\u2019s great stuff especially as I recognise the places having walked there myself\u2026plus Julia is very easy on the eye\u2026and Griff Rhys Jones did a similar programme wandering around Wales\u2026I particularly enjoyed the feature on Anglesey as I have walked around the whole island over the years.\n\nThis sort of programme is of interest to everyone (or should be)\u2026.instead of being bombarded with idiots having tattoos removed or cosmetic surgery on their fat out of shape bodies\u2026I can\u2019t imagine anyone watching that garbage\u2026but there you go.
