b'The song I\\u2019ve sent you this week is another from the Cheshire Cats album we did back in the day\\u2026.it\\u2019s an oldie called \\u201cWhite Sports Coat\\u201d c/w \\u201cButterfly\\u201d and is a track I produced for Derek Smith who was the founder of The Cheshire Cats\\u2026..he put a lot of work in to keep it all going and was a pleasure to know\\u2026he was a massive Elvis fan and used to dress up as the King and delight the crowd\\u2026sadly he is another one we lost a few years ago\\u2026.he was my best mate and I miss him.\\n \\nSpeaking of Elvis\\u2026Jonathan Ross had Prescilla Presley on his chat show\\u2026she is over here to promote a CD which features remasteredElvis tracks singing with the BBC Symphony Orchestra\\u2026.she was very demure BUT also on the show was Danny Dyer who proved what an absolute YOB he is\\u2026.playing the cockney \\u201ctough guy\\u201d with his unnecessary rhyming slang and bad language\\u2026poor old Prescill didn\\u2019t have a clue what he was talking about\\u2026then to top it all on comes Elvis Costello (complete with silly hat)\\u2026.who Ross announced as \\u201cthe greatest songwriter this country gas produced\\u201d\\u2026.er\\u2026.excuse me\\u2026.I only know a few of his records\\u2026one being \\u201cOlivers Army\\u201d\\u2026and another \\u201cShe\\u201d\\u2026.neither of which he wrote\\u2026.so forget Lennon and McCartney\\u2026.or Tim Rice and Lloyd Webber\\u2026or Lionel Bart\\u2026.obviously Jonathan is hearing something we aren\\u2019t\\u2026then they bring on the REAL Elvis\\u2019s guitar which Mr. Costello strums on and sings one of his own songs\\u2026.proving he is definitely not the best songwriter or in fact the best singer\\u2026dreadful\\u2026felt sorry for Prescilla.\\n \\nThe news covered a story this week about a lollipop lady who was sacked for waving at passing motorists\\u2026.because the council had received ONE complaint\\u2026.also a lollipop man was sacked for giving kids \\u201chigh fives\\u201d as they went past him\\u2026from a similar complaint\\u2026\\u2026this is according to the media\\u2026.who only ever give one side of these stories so how true it is is debateable\\u2026.however the fact that someone complained doesn\\u2019t surprise me\\u2026these people are out there looking for the slightest thing to complain about\\u2026.e.g. a photo of Cameron NOT wearing a poppy\\u2026\\u2026there should be a law forbidding these sad irritating types to ever leave their houses\\u2026they serve no purpose whatsoever to the human race.\\n \\nAnother interesting news item featured a man who returned a lock to a locksmith because it was faulty\\u2026.because of the way he was dressed the locksmith blew him a kiss and made some gesticulations\\u2026deeply \\u201coffending\\u201d the customer ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS\\u2026\\u2026so much so he took it to court and was awarded 7000 pounds in damages\\u2026..apparently it\\u2019s the first case of it\\u2019s kind where nothing was actually said\\u2026.what wasn\\u2019t explained was WHY he kept going back to the shop??....so it looks like we not only have to walk around with duck tape over our mouths\\u2026we now have to have our hands tied behind our backs\\u2026or we are in danger of being politically incorrect\\u2026.is the legal system in this country serious???\\n \\nAnd finally a classic\\u2026.the BBC are asking the general public around the country to\\u2026wait for it\\u2026.send in weather reports from their area\\u2026.NOW I\\u2019ve heard it all\\u2026.despite all the equipment the weather people have they very rarely get the forecast right\\u2026which is what we have discussed in the past\\u2026so this is the answer \\u201cwe think people will be pleased to be involved\\u201d say the Beeb\\u2026.nice cheap way out eh?....and people will get involved because they have nothing better to do\\u2026.at least it might stop them complaining about lollipop ladies\\u2026..what a world.'
