The song I\u2019ve sent you this week is taken from a DVD I made about our River\u2026.the inspiration came from the view I had down the River from an early morning ferry boat I had to catch to Liverpool\u2026the sun rises up over the Liver Buildings and illuminates the Wirral side of the river\u2026beautiful\u2026.you\u2019ll be able to relate to this.\n\nThere was a big build up here for the \u201cSupermoon\u201d at the start of the week\u2026.it was going to be bigger than usual\u2026and red\u2026.and you will see the shadow of the earth on it etc\u2026.and it will be on view at 3 o\u2019clock. in the morning\u2026.which put a bit of a damper on it all\u2026.I actually got up to have a look\u2026I\u2019m not sure why as I couldn\u2019t really care less\u2026so up I gazed into the heavens and saw the normal moon.\n\nNext day there were displays of wonderful photographs on TV of this great event\u2026which wont happen again til 2033 !!!.....not quite sure where I went wrong.\n\nOn the same subject they think they have found water on Mars\u2026.WOW it\u2019s all happening\u2026.then they were talking about the manned mission which will take a year to get there\u2026then you have to get back\u2026is it me or is there actually a point to all this?....we never hear about how much this is all costing\u2026and whatever happened to the thing which landed on that comet just as the batteries went flat?\n\nPerhaps I\u2019ve got it all wrong but wouldn\u2019t the money be better spent on sorting thing out on THIS planet?....what I would like to know is what are they going to do when they land on Mars?....\n\n The Beatles original contract with Brian Epstein\u2026all signed and sealed\u2026has been sold at auction for about 300 grand\u2026I think they were expecting 500 grand\u2026.words fail me. I have my doubts as to whether it\u2019s an investment\u2026.but The Fab Four seem to be going on forever\u2026I remember when McCartney\u2019s autograph was worth 70 quid\u2026which is why he would never sign one\u2026in fairness he would pose for a photo with you.\n\nThere is still a big 60\u2019s fad over here although some of the \u201cI was there legends\u201d are looking a bit worse for wear\u2026.which brings me to Paul Jones who is soon on locally with his blues band.\n\nThere is a picture in the paper of them\u2026Jones doesn\u2019t look too bad but his band look like they have been exhumed. I remember back in the day John Lennon said \u201cwhen I heard Paul Jones singing \u2018I\u2019ve been a bad bad boy\u2019 I was nearly sick\u2026when I SAW him singing it I was sick\u201d\u2026.then on Top of the Pops Paul was asked what he thought of the Beatles latest double A side (I think it was Day Tripper) he said \u201cone side is absolute rubbish and the other is sort of O.K.\u201d\u2026..a short time after he was in Liverpool to sign his book\u2026.guess what NO-ONE showed up\u2026.shame.\n\nDonald Trump has been in the news this week regarding his building of a golf course in Scotland\u2026..the locals are not happy\u2026.the billionaire said it would bring millions of pounds into the area\u2026which it hasn\u2019t and it would create a thousand jobs\u2026..250 actually\u2026.and the Scots are NOT HAPPY!!.....their views have been spoilt etc\u2026.and one old lady has taken it to court\u2026good luck with that one\u2026\n\n \n\nand finally\u2026..a \u201ccold call\u201d centre has been fined a couple of million for annoying people\u2026.their 2 o\u2019clock in the morning robotic phone calls have not gone down too well\u2026.the company are appealing against the ruling\u2026sorry guys not a chance\u2026I am delighted to say.
