b'Male voice choirs are now under fire by....guess who....the feminist brigade....at some university or other their male voice choir has been heavily criticised for not allowing women to sing in it....er....I think the clue is in the title?.....why have we got to put up with this constant nonsense?...and why do those involved get so much publicity?....we have female police chiefs....a female prime minister....female fire chiefs etc etc....you have won ladies...no need for overkill....just get over yourselves because you are becoming very boring......and it\'s not NEWS.\\n\\n2.It\'s now time for the Christmas plays in the schools which sadly will be forgotten in no time....as those magical moments watching your youngster on stage cannot be captured on video......because .001% of parents worry about pictures of their little pride and joy being misused on the internet.....so everyone else has to comply......back in the day I used to video the plays for various schools and the parents were delighted to have these priceless moments captured forever....I even got one of the scenes on You\'ve Been Framed and shared the money with the kids and their parents who were happy as Larry....then along comes the P.C.Brigade who pandered to odd parent who wanted their kid\'s face pixillated out and various other requirements....so I told them to count me out.....so now everyone misses out thanks to the few....which is typical these days.\\n\\n3.I watched the programme on Cliff Richard\'s 60 years in showbiz....I was expecting to see his music through the years from his beginnings with The Shadows to the present day....which aint what we got.....it was mostly about the way he was mistreated by the police and the BBC.....I do sympathies with him but he has made his point many times....it\'s showbiz and when you are famous it\'s the price you pay sadly.....I must say the guy is a survivor....the problem is it\'s the BBC who are involved in the case so WE will end up paying their fines....150 quid for a TV licence....multiply that by the number of households....no wonder they can afford to give stupid salaries to the likes of Chris Evans.....and as usual Cliff is bringing out an album for Christmas...surprise surprise....which has a few protest songs on it aimed at the way he was treated....at least they are original songs.....good luck to him.\\n\\n4.I also watched another programme about the farmer who shot and killed a burglar in 1999 and went to jail for manslaughter.......it was based on actual police interviews with him....personally I found it quite disappointing.....I expected there to be a discussion regarding what RIGHTS a burglar actually has......the farmer\'s sentence was cut down and they had him on at the end.......to me anyone who breaks into a house relinquishes any human rights the moment they step over the door.....it\'s a choice they make....it\'s as if it is difficult to NOT burgle a house.....I find it ver easy NOT burgling houses.....the legal system in this country possibly fails to see the big picture...if you are faced with an intruder on your property he could have a weapon etc so it\'s a you or them situation....and some of these judges who live in the safety of their mansions need a reality check....what needs to be taken into account is the suffering and anxiety this sort of thing causes to innocent people.\\n\\n5.On a lighter note...the song this week is entitled "If Every Day Was Christmas Day" and it was originally written for a lady called Penny Page who had a ventriloquists dummy called Googi....which was a Scouse duck.....it was put out on a 7 inch vinyl at the time.....it was also the title song of a musical I wrote for a local radio station which will remain nameless......the musical included six of my songs and a script which I also wrote.....despite being broadcast as being written by two of the radio presenters....who shall remain nameless....myself getting the credit for the music only.....the play which was broadcast on Christmas day was nominated for a Sony award..........it was eventually performed in several schools around the area......under MY name....so here it is.'
