One of my all time favourite "long songs"

Off out for a curry with the family and hopefully a glass of Kingfisher. This is a tune that people say left wing politicians just say they like- kinda political fashion if you like, I think it's been chosen by a number of famous politicians for desert island disks- Now I'm never going to get...

Surely Lord Ali can spend his hard earned cash how he wants?

Over the last 14 years council employees have almost halved, yet government employees have gone up from 380,000 to 515,000. Seems odd that councils have had to cut staff to the bone doing more with less while the Tories in government have been employing more and more to do less. Looking at...

I'm still on the tracker, unsure why as I have an EV and heat my home from a ASHP, but as others have said it's saved us a small fortune over the last few years, the thing about the tracker is once you leave it's quite a while before you are allowed to sign back onto it.

It's the wife's birthday tomorrow, so after just finishing a 15 hour shift, our son is taking us out to the Blackwell Ox at Carlton for our favourite Thai food. John Prine- This should have been called "My Woman" but he explains why it's called "Aw Heck" at the start of the song- regardless of...

Our EV is due it's 10,000 mile service, it's a Citroen C4e Citroen in Stockton want to charge a little over £300, iv'e asked what do they do for £300 and the chap got a bit snotty. Halfords Trunk road is offering to do the same service for £179. ATS even cheaper at £140. Both say that the...

Something about shoes and a long walk... (Tips hat)

3 bank holidays is not to be sniffed at, if your work contact offers you bank holidays, not all do. Quite a few in my work place don't get bank holidays, but I guess 4 on 4 off means you only work half a year anyway. And I do like family time, I just can't bare the pressure Christmas puts on...

Christmas.

I'll call that in now, cheers.

34 years ago yesterday, 28th November 1990 A certain Margaret Thatcher walked out of Downing Street for the last time as PM. Some celebrated some didn't. I did, just like one of my all time musical hero's did. It's controversial for sure, but for many of us a musical masterpiece. Costello-...

We've been working on our estates for years and years. I'll have a glass of Red tonight after official numbers confirm that ASB has reduced by big numbers over the last 12/24 month. Of course I'm not complacent, people in my estate still suffer from others that don't care about anyone but...
