The news is still going on about Boris Johnson's Xmas party.....all\nthis is doing now is giving no mark M.P.s the opportunity to get\ntheir faces on TV all saying the same thing with none of them\ncoming up with any alternative solutions.....definitely time to\nMOVE ON.\n\nThe easiest job in the world is be a critic or a football pundit....we\nhave professional film critics who grace us with their\nopinions....and pundits who sit round a table and discuss a\nmatch we have just watched....and get highly paid for doing\nso....talk about easy money.....and this comes out of our TV\nlicence....which will no doubt soon go up because of the\nshortage of oil or something equally as stupid.\n\nMain roads are being altered to include wide cycle lanes.....how\nlong before the accidents start?....not to mention idiots on\nelectric bikes.\n\nThe local council's latest brilliant idea is to increase the charge\nof emptying your garden waste bin from 35 pounds to 50\npounds a year which hasn't gone down too well with our\nratepayers.....as the said bins are only emptied every two weeks\nand don't require emptying during the winter.... are they having a\nlaugh.......what will obviously happen is folk will fly tip their grass\nall over the place.....the council complain that they are short of\nmoney...try checking out the salaries of some of the bosses who\nare surplus to requirements.\n\nWe have a terrible war going on but 17 minutes of space is\nrequired on the BBC News to watch Johnny Depp mumbling\naway in court with his marital problems...WHO CARES?...............\nput him on my list.I watched another episode of the Jimmy\nSaville scandal......which left me totally baffled......he walks\naround with this huge cigar in his mouth....takes it out and\nmutters a load of nonsense...and shoves it back in his\nmouth....they could find no evidence of his alleged sexual\nmisconduct until he died....then we get 400 accusers coming out\nof the woodwork.....to me the bloke was a total nut case.\n\nA film called "The Magnet" has recently been on the telly....it was\nmade in 1951 and stars James `Fox as a young lad and was\nfilmed in and around Wallasey on Merseyside where I was\nborn......it was fascinating to see how the area has changed\nsince I was a six year old.....great film.\n\nThis week...for a change...instead of choosing some of the worst\nrecords ever made I would like to treat you to the best\ninstrumental ever made....it dates back to the fifties and I still\nnever tire of hearing it....a masterpiece....it is by The Ventures and\nis called "Walk Don't Run"......
