The song this week is one I have found in my archives and had completely forgotten \nabout...it is called "Nosey Parker" and is one of the many I wrote for The Krankies \nyearly pantomimes....this one was Pinochio....and wee Jimmy (aka Janette) had the \ntitle role.....each year they would ask me for an original song or songs...and I would \ndemo it as simple as possible for them to give to the panto MD....when she sang the \nsong the nose would get longer and longer until it was the length of the stage....all \ngood stuff....They are good friends.\n\nHow pathetically transparent are the BBC...suddenly they have decided to play Cliff \nRichard's latest album...hmm...I wonder why?...I suppose the school leavers who seem \nto run the organisation think Cliff might change his mind about taking them to court...I \nhope Cliff has the guts to take them to the cleaners after the way he was \ntreated...along with the gutter press which have a similarity to reading a piece of used \ntoilet paper.....actually the album is very good....pure rock and roll....which makes a \nnice change from the latest deluge of moaning whinging ballads we seem to be getting \nsubjected to.....I was unfortunate to watch the U.K. top forty at a recent dinner \nparty...what a load of rubbish.....quality music R.I.P.\n\nI often wonder at the mentality of those who steal from charity...the latest is the sale of \nthe ornamental poppies from the Palace....apparently only one third of the money \nraised went to charity instead of the lot....so some low life has made a lot of \nmoney....these people should be investigated and have their faces all over the \nmedia....just to let people know what scum they are......when I watch the TV appeals \nlike Children in Need it is awful to think all these problems could be solved by the filthy \nrich who stain our shores....the problems could be solved without them even missing \nthe money...but I suppose they have to have a few yatchts and mansions to survive.\n\nNow there is a petition on the internet regarding closing shops on Boxing Day....our \nwonderful public think they should close so people could spend time with their families \ninstead of shopping...this was discussed on the morning TV...is it me or have we gone \ncompletely round the bend?...the big stores are criticised because the staff have to \nwork over the holiday...and....wait for it....people will go out shopping because that's \nwhen they get a bargain....it is obviously far to difficult for the sheep to stay at home \nwhen the shops are open....and what about none Christians?...as if the big stores will \ntake a blind bit of notice...and as if the government will make it illegal to open on \nBoxing Day...I really do despair sometimes.\n\nThe BBC have renamed the Radio 2 building Wogan House after Terry Wogan which \nis a nice thing to do...he was much respected and I watched a tribute programme from \nthe Albert Hall which was very good...possibly could have done without Olly Murs \nsinging swing but very nice....personally I was never a fan of Sir Terry but he obviously \nhad a big impact on his fellow workers.....great show and the remains of Take That did \na great spot as did The Vamps....and lastly they are back....the highly talented Ant and \nDec...NOT.....they have apparently signed a three million pound deal with ITV....as I \nhave said in the past if they do have any talent whatsoever it's beyond ME...they are \nnow appearing on the celebrity jungle thing where they do an hour and a half of \nunfunny nonsense then go and play golf....well worth the money eh?
