Beef, I was doon the front with Beanstew watching last year - were you at the front too? From memory, it wasn't that crowded and I think I was pretty much right in the centre - don't remember being at the front - I certainly had a good view. |

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't come across this book. I think I may try and get hold of it.
I was a student in Bristol in the 1970's and I remember visiting Revolver Records a few times. Anything left from my student grant (oh how lucky to be a student in the days of grants!) was spent mainly on LPs - some from Revolver but a lot from Tony's Records up Park Street, where I used to call in on my way back from Uni and thumb through the second hand vinyl looking for bargains. Happy memories!  |

Del has just finished listening to Coming Up For Air by George Orwell, he enjoyed it as Orwell's observation of society and the human condition is terrific.
Orwell's insight into the use of propaganda to indoctrinate the young and to build a culture of hate and fear to manipulate a population on a patch of conflict and division is sadly all to relevant in Scotland and many other parts of the world today.

The news is grim at present and yet again bloody XR are blocking something else up for no apparant reason except to put 1000s of people off environmental issues on a daily basis and make us environmental people look like nutters. Are they in the pay of the government I wonder?
Meanwhile Greenpeace have illegally stopped trawling of the kelp by dropping bolders in the sea, well done them.
So I have been reading something with no real news, little stories about lorres stuck under bridges, someone had a lucky throw at bowls and lots of gibberish about designer things and football. 'The Sun' not much news in a newspaper; on line of course.

I have been reading ‘sunburn’ by James Felton. A catalogue of the most atrocious stories and supposed journalism put out by the Sun since it’s takeover by Murdoch all those years ago. It is an appalling rag (how they reported Hillsborough was possibly the worst example). I even know how appalling their reporters behaved from first hand account (a colleague was hounded for a few days, whenever she had to leave the house, after her husband had committed suicide).
Having vowed never to support the sun financially by reading it, the above book gives an insight into how depraved so many of their stories were and how it has affected the people they were writing about

Yes on line, I think my bag would combust if I put such a thing into it. Most of it is gibberish & they can not sell copies in Liverpool to this day. The worry is people believe what is in it, Id have rather read The Beano.
Anyway, Im now reading Mendip Enginemen, stories of the life and times of those men who used to drive trains on the Somerset & Dorset Railway.

To quote Eric Morcambe, ‘Desperate Dan has eaten 10 cow pies, and he is still hungry!’… now, that is better quality news and finer journalism than anything you will ever read in the Sun. Apologies for dragging this off topic, back to good reads and the Mendip Enginemen sounds a good read. |
