The song I\u2019ve sent you this week is a demo from way back with an interesting tale\u2026.I originally wrote it for Cannon and Ball who I understood liked it but I didn\u2019t like hanging about in those days waiting for people to make their minds up\u2026so I dropped a cassette of the song off at one of our local theatres where The Krankies were performing\u2026.soon after I got a nice letter from them saying they would like to put the song in their act\u2026.so there I was watching the Royal Command on the Palladium and on they come and sing the song\u2026.they also did it on several TV shows\u2026.about 10 years later I was on the same show as them and made myself known and we became good friends and I have been writing songs for their pantomimes ever since\u2026.never heard from Cannon and Ball\u2026.I think they recorded \u201cWind Beneath My Wings\u201d instead,,,which got nowhere\u2026shame.\n\n.There are moves afoot to teach young learner drivers how to drive properly\u2026.as there have been so many accidents with newly qualified drivers\u2026\u2026this has to be a good thing because the quality of driving\u2026especially from the young\u2026is terrible\u2026.they are also considering halving the drink drive limit\u2026.not before time\n\nI got done a few years back for speeding (35 in a thirty limit)\u2026.and I had a choice pay the 60 quid fine and get three points on my licence\u2026or pay 90 quid and go on a course and not get the three points\u2026.so off I went on the course with the intention of letting them know I was a professional driver with 45 years experience and NO-ONE could tell me how to drive\u2026.how wrong I was\u2026.the course was brilliant and I learnt so much\u2026THIS is what is required for everyone as far as I\u2019m concerned\u2026.then perhaps some of these would be would Lewis Hamiltons may live longer.\n\nI watched a programme on 20 things which rocked the world\u2026..we were reminded of Diana\u2019s crash\u2026.the sinking of the Belgrano\u2026.the Lockerby disaster\u2026and quite high up the list was DAVID BECKHAM\u2019S alleged affair with Rebecca Loos\u2026.so this amazing,unbelievable event ROCKED THE WORLD!!!....am I missing something??? here\u2019s me thinking Beckham is an over-rated,overpaid so called celeb with not a lot of brain cells married to another celeb who needs to EAT!!!.....but there you go\u2026I MUST be wrong....and that is why journalism is in the state its in\u2026.I doubt if anyone could care whether Mr.Beckham slept with the Queen of Sheba.\n\nThen we have Sterling who wants to leave Liverpool because he\u2019s not happy with his 100 thousand pounds a WEEK\u2026I\u2019m sure the queue for the food banks will be delighted for him.\n\nI hate to say it but I do enjoy the Eurovision\u2026.it\u2019s a great spectacle and we don\u2019t have to endure a bunch of talentless plonkers passing judgement\u2026.I quite like our entry although it\u2019s a bit dated..but that could be a good thing\u2026.I haven\u2019t seen it performed which is usually what it\u2019s all about\u2026as with the bearded lady\u2026.no doubt the vote will be political as usual but it\u2019s still good entertainment\u2026ANYTHING but Britain\u2019s Got Talent!!....however I have seen half of one of the semi finals\u2026..I couldn\u2019t face the second half\u2026so I might be switching channels\n\n ... finally\u2026this weekend the THREE QUEENS will be sailing down the Mersey\u2026.and I am NOT talking about You,Me and Dave O\u2019Connor!!!....it\u2019s The Queen Victoria,the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary\u2026so there will be a lot of spectators along both sides of the River\u2026.it should be a great spectacle\u2026.\n\n.... there was a strange case of a firm being taken to court because they refused to make a wedding cake for a gay marriage\u2026.they said it was against their Christian belief\u2026and the court ruled in favour of the customers\u2026.saying the firm were discriminating against gays\u2026..what a load of tripe\u2026..a contract is made when you purchase something\u2026there has to be an offer and acceptance\u2026.the offer is not made by the seller as everyone thinks\u2026they merely display their wares and invite the BUYER to make an offer which they can either accept or refuse\u2026that\u2019s it\u2026.the firm should have just said \u201cno\u201d and that would have been that\u2026there doesn\u2019t have to be a reason\u2026.so the court got it wrong I\u2019m afraid.
