WE ARE THE ROVERS !!!!....this is a song I wrote for Tranmere Rovers round about 1979\u2026\u2026The idea was to get the players into a studio and record the ones who could sing\u2026.sadly none of them could so this version (which was the original demo) was used. It was played every week at the home games and on the coaches for away games\u2026..years later I was warbling away in a local restaurant where I was resident and a crowd came in and recognised me\u2026they were Rovers supporters and got me to sing this\u2026.I just about remembered it\u2026.such is fame.\n\nYou gotta laugh at some sad folk\u2026.I was watching the Open Golf and during the playoff they had a shot of one of the wives to which Peter Allis commented\u2026\u201dIf he sinks this she\u2019ll get a new kitchen\u201d\u2026WHO !! you can\u2019t say that\u2026there was a sunami of feminists complaining\u2026.Allis should know that it\u2019s O.K. for women to skit at blokes and make sexist remarks BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!!...shame on him\u2026I do think it\u2019s about time these women got over themselves\u2026but there you are.\n\nAlso on a more sombre note a young girl threw herself in front of a train in London and an onlooker was interviewed and said how disgusted he was with the attitude of so many people\u2026complaining that they would be late for work\u2026which just about sums up the majority of the population.\n\nI am in demand at the moment\u2026there are two record companies who want to release my Adrian Street classics on vinyl\u2026.one is in this country and another in the States\u2026all very nice but I\u2019ve heard it all before\u2026just get on with it guys and send me the money,,,,,so watch this space\u2026.has the world finally caught up with us?\n\nSeagulls are now in the firing line\u2026.they are spoiling people\u2019s holidays in Truro\u2026they dive bomb and pinch their pasties\u2026boo hoo\u2026.a cull has been suggested\u2026what a load of wimps we are becoming.\n\nThe seagull is a magnificent creature\u2026the perfect flying machine and my favourite bird\u2026.they are only nasty when they think their chicks are threatened\u2026.it\u2019s not too difficult to keep your pastie covered up\u2026or maybe it is for some of the neaderthals wandering around\u2026\u2026if you hold a piece of bread up over your head they will take it without touching your fingers\u2026they are wonderful\u2026.so leave \u2018em alone.\n\n \n\nThere is a new programme on TV about look-alikes\u2026I must say it was very funny\u2026.it\u2019s about a lookalike agency run by a Ricky Gervais lookalike\u2026.there\u2019s Joanna Lumley,Will Smith.Mr.Bean\u2019David Beckham and a few more \u2026good stuff for a change\u2026.let\u2019s hope the standard is kept up for future episodes.
