Within minutes of taking stand to discuss menopause in the workplace, the TV star, Carol Vorderman, criticised Kemi Badenoch for comparing 'women going through terrible, terrible menopausal symptoms with those with ginger hair'. Ms Badenoch, No10's equalities minister, last month dismissed suggestions that the menopause should be given a special legally protected status. She stated the menopause was on a list of characteristics campaigners had claimed should be written into the Equality Act, just like 'having ginger hair' or 'being short' and that a menopause leave pilot for women was being proposed from 'a leftwing perspective'.
Growing up on social media means a generation of children are routinely scrolling through captioned videos on platforms including TikTok and Instagram. So it is perhaps no surprise that, in a recent YouGov study, 61% of viewers aged 18-25 said that when they sit down to watch TV, they choose to switch on the subtitles - even if they do not have a hearing impairment.
Half of college students are likely already using ChatGPT to cheat, experts have estimated. They warn the revolutionary AI has created a cheating epidemic that poses a huge threat to the integrity of academia. Rehan Haque, of artificial intelligence company Metatalent.ai, said: 'We're already at the point where AI can write entire projects, and then a different AI tool can reword it to make AI undetectable.'At present, well over half of students are likely using AI tools to cheat the education system in exams or essays, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that number were already higher.'

The Government have drafted in West Ham vice-chairman Baroness Karren Brady to assist delivering the Online Safety Bill. Whitehall chiefs have come under major pressure to accelerate the long-awaited legislation after Kick It Out called on the Government to pass the new laws which, it is hoped, will eradicate online hate as soon as possible. Tottenham forward Son Heung-min became the latest high-profile victim of social media abuse following his team's victory over the Hammers on Sunday.

God could be referred to in 'non-gendered' terms during Church of England services for the first time, it can be revealed. Breaking with centuries of tradition, bishops have announced they are launching a major 'project on gendered language' this spring. It may suggest that priests can stop using the male pronouns 'He' and 'Him' when referring to God in some prayers, or even that they can drop the famous phrase 'our Father' from the start of the Lord's Prayer.

Tony had three great hits in 1971, beginning with "Las Vegas" which reached number 21 in the UK, and went on to have two Top Twenty hits in the UK Singles Chart with "I Did What I Did for Maria", which reached number two, and "Is This the Way to Amarillo", which reached number 18, all in 1971. Subsequently, he had a minor hit with "Avenues and Alleyways" which reached number 37, and was the theme to the television series The Protectors. Tony tells us a great story about Amarillo

Peter had two singing brothers, Eden Kane, a teenage pop idol and Clive Sarstedt, with both of whom he also recorded and performed as The Sarstedt Brothers. Although his music was classified as pop, it generally encompassed ballads derived from traditional folk music. He died in 2017 and is best remembered for writing and performing "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?" This song topped theUK Singles Chart in 1969 . It was a great pleasure to speak with Peter over the airwaves on 12th September 2007. Sadly, Peter died in 2017.
Charles Alexander Landsborough is a British country and folk musician and singer-songwriter. He started singing professionally in the 1970s, although his major success did not come until 1994 with his song "What Colour is the Wind". He is one of the UK's top country acts and is also popular in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. I didn't realise we had so much in common!
The General Confederation of Labour (CGT), a national French trade union, has announced that they will cut off the electricity supply going to lawmakers and billionaires, before the nationwide protests on Thursday, January 19. “I suggest they also go see the nice properties, the nice castles of billionaires,” said Philippe Martinez, leader of the CGT, France’s second-largest trade union, as cited by Reuters. Healthcare workers in Madrid staged a major protest on Sunday, January 15. Tens of thousands of people marched to the center of the Spanish capital stating that the conservating regional government is destroying the public healthcare system. People dressed in white coats walked the streets of Madrid banging drums and chanting “Cutting public health is criminal”. Rishi Sunak insisted today that he was protecting women and children by blocking Scottish gender reform legislation from becoming law.The Prime Minister was accused by the SNP of 'seeking to stoke a culture war' against 'marginalised' trans people over his decision to veto the bill passed by Holyrood.The Government is to use Section 35 of the Scotland Act to prevent the Gender Recognition Reform Act - which would allow teens to legally alter their gender from the age of 16 - from gaining royal assent The Iberdrola construction project is the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm. The company has completed the first campaign of the works with the installation of 65 per cent of the piles and 40 per cent of the offshore wind platforms of the plant. These elements have been manufactured at Windar’s facilities in Aviles and Navantia’s in Fene, respectively.In total, 124 piles have already been installed, which will anchor the substation and 40 of the 62 wind turbines of the wind farm to the seabed. A shocking report has revealed the widening gulf of inequality in Britain as the richest 1% are now wealthier than over two-thirds of the rest of the population combined.Billionaire entrepreneurs such as the Hinduja family (net worth £28billion), Sir James Dyson (£23bn) and Sir Jim Ratcliffe (£10bn) are among the 685,000 richest people whose total worth exceeds the combined wealth of 48million Britons. ..........Both the number and wealth of billionaires doubled over the last decade, leading to calls from charities and think-tanks for increased taxation.At the same time, at least 1.7billion workers now live in countries where inflation is outpacing wages, and more than 820 million people - roughly one in ten in the world - do not have enough food.

Here's a very interesting podcast with my friend Mel Castle explaining his links to Helen Shapiro and life around Carnaby Street with some awesome memories and even Boy George, Marc Bolan and Paul Weller thrown in for good measure
Helen Kate Shapiro is a British pop and jazz singer and actress. While still a teenager in the early 1960s, she was one of Britain's most successful female singers. With a voice described by AllMusic as possessing "the maturity and sensibilities of someone far beyond their teen years", Helen Shapiro recorded two 1961 UK chart toppers, "You Don't Know" and "Walkin' Back to Happiness", when she was just fourteen years old. It was a real pleasure to talk with Helen Shapiro about her Gospel Outreach. Helen gave us a great insight to her early days and a priviliged insight to her beliefs. It is always so interesting to see how famous people find their faith and Helen was open and honest in what she developingafter such a great career in music

Incendiary claims by Prince Harry of 'a war against Meghan' sparked a furious backlash last night. In a trailer for their new documentary, he alleged the couple had suffered from leaks and planted stories that backed up the Royal Family 'hierarchy'.
A charity boss who was repeatedly asked where she 'really' came from by a lady-in-waiting says she has suffered 'horrific abuse' on social media. Ngozi Fulani, the British-born founder of the charity Sistah Space, expressed shock at her treatment by Lady Susan Hussey, 83, following an event at Buckingham Palace last week.
The nation’s High Court of Opinion, Twitter, has reached its verdict and pronounced its sentence of cancellation. No defence allowed. Goodbye, Lady Susan, and thanks for all the curtseys.

Did Peter Kay not get the memo? As of this weekend, the Bolton-born comic genius is back in business, selling out huge arenas across a nation gripped by price hikes, rampant wokery and a culture war. And yet where are the anti-Tory gags? I failed to hear a single rant about Truss or Sunak. There was no mention of food banks, nothing on immigration policy. Brexit? Climate change? Race? Nowt. Transphobia? ..... despite an 11-year absence from the touring circuit, has retained his rightful place in the top tier of our great entertainers.
Former England captain Wayne Rooney has claimed that Marcus Rashford's campaigning was 'a bit too much for him' amid the forward's recent turnaround in form. Rashford spent months pushing for the government to take better care of children in Britain, with the 25-year-old campaigning for more free school meals having struggled himself when he was younger.
I left London in the early 1970s to get back to the land, setting up an organic farm producing a range of foods from carrots to cheese in a beautiful part of west Wales. In that time, there have been many joyous moments. But my most memorable relate to simple pleasures such as milking our cows or weeding in a field of carrots.

According to Spain’s Labour Inspectorate Ryanair violated the right of workers to strike earlier in the year, when it used so called “scab” labour.Business Secretary Grant Shapps today acknowledged 'national security' fears led to taxpayers' cash being used to end China's involvement in the Sizewell C nuclear power plant. Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Shapps boasted the Government's £700million investment in the controversial Suffolk project would help create thousands of jobs and shore up Britain's energy security.
The US Air Force is planning to unveil the most advanced aircraft ever created early next month after spending nearly $203 billion on the program.The B-21 Raider stealth bomber will be unveiled at the Northrop Grumman facility in Palmdale, California, on December 2.The bomber was designed to carry out long-range bombing and nuclear missions employing cutting edge stealth technologies.
No one at the BBC could understand how the disgraced journalist Martin Bashir got his job as religious affairs editor after he hoodwinked Princess Diana for his Panorama interview, Radio 4 presenter Samira Ahmed has claimed. Writing in the Radio Times, she said workers were 'puzzled' as to how Bashir - who has since been criticised by the broadcaster for faking bank statements that persuaded Diana to give him an interview in 1995 - managed to get the position in 2016.
MPs look set for a 2.4 per cent pay rise in the spring as ministers urge striking unions against trying to match soaring inflation. Pay for politicians is linked to figures for public sector earnings that will be published over the next fortnight.
MPs earned a record £5.3million from second jobs over the past year despite the Government promising a crackdown. Two-thirds of MPs, who made more than £2,000 the previous year, earned an equal or greater amount in the 12 months to September, research found. Several ex-Cabinet ministers have taken roles in areas they used to oversee in Government, with former attorney general Geoffrey Cox earning more than £1million in fees as a barrister.
'A father-of-two who was jailed for taking the law into his own hands when career criminals attempted to burgle his home has said he 'can't believe' the outpouring of support he has received. Adam White, 34, was jailed in February for 22 months for causing serious injury by dangerous driving after he ran the would-be burglars off the road while the crooks themselves were spared prison.
Church worshippers cried 'heresy' at the Dean of Trinity College as they left a sermon claiming Jesus may have been transgender 'in tears'. But the view of a transgender Jesus is 'legitimate', according to Dr Michael Banner, the Dean who stepped in to defend the claim made at a Sermon last Sunday that Christ had a 'trans body'.

This was a different kind of jam session organised by a really talented musician, Billy Brink, and his very talented wife, Janet.

A sad Farewell to the Enigmatic Don Woods who was laid to rest on his beloved Wirral Peninsular last Friday 11th November 2022. Don had always been very fit and healthy until fate struck his lungs a fateful blow about 8 weeks ago. I phoned Don early one Monday morning as was our arrangement. We loved to sit and chew the fat over the airwaves then remember an aspect of Don's songwriting. Don was struggling for breath for a few weeks before he suddenly went into hospital and here I am writing our blog after his death and subsequent funeral. As his illness progressed it became obvious that Don was feeling the loss of his wife Cynthia very deeply. It had only been a few weeks before all this happened that I had produced a podcast with Don recounting various aspects of his life and remembering how we had first met in the early days of BBC Radio at Radio Merseyside. I am still finding this a little overwhelming and the podcast will allow Don to tell you about his life and our friendship. He was talented, successful, versatile, enigmatic and fun to be around. Thanks for the memories Don and thanks for your valued friendship. You will be missed by many people who admired your love of music, your love of Wirral and your love of Wales. Our thoughts and prayers are with Don, Don's son, Steve, and all his family and friends. RIP Vince and Anne in Spain xx

The new regulations, which introduced fines for both, produced the desired effect and while prostitution continues, it is hidden from view. Fewer homeless are now seen sleeping in the city centre and many have moved on to neighbouring Elche. Mariano Valera, Elche’s Social Rights councillor, condemned the Alicante City law, approved with the votes of the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox parties, as “shameful” when it came into force.
Watching violent television programmes from a young age has been scientifically linked to poor performance at secondary school. Researchers from the University of Montreal analysed the content shown to nearly 2,000 children aged 3.5 to 4.5. When the kids turned 12, the team asked them and their teachers to evaluate how well they thought they were doing at school. It was found that boys and girls exposed to violent content in early childhood were more likely to experience 'increases in emotional distress' later on.

It's memory time..........John Leyton -Singer and Actor...... John Leyton spoke to VInce on Onda Cero Radio about his career on Monday 27th August 2007. John Dudley Leyton is an English actor and singer. As a singer he is best known for his hit song "Johnny Remember Me", which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in August 1961 despite being banned by the BBC for its death references. His follow-up single, "Wild Wind", reached number two in the charts. John told me about his career and explained how he went to drama school before joining a repertory company in York. In the podcast John told me a lot about his early influences.
The Spanish government said on Thursday that residents whose wealth exceeds €3 million will be subject to a new asset tax during the next two years, 2023 and 2024, as part of its upcoming budget that will need to be approved by the Spanish Congress. Budget and Public Finances Minister María Jesús Montero said the temporary wealth tax, which could affect 23,000 people, or 0.1 % of taxpayers, was one of ‘solidarity’. budget minister said this will benefit some 50% of the workforce given that the average annual salary in Spain is €21,000.
Vladimir Putin is set to make hundreds of millions of pounds from a luxury development in an exclusive area of London, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Russia is building 255 flats on a site in Kensington it bought in 2006 for £8 million using an offshore company. It is planning to use the vast profits from the scheme to refurbish its embassy properties in the capital.........But documents seen by this newspaper show that any ‘surplus remaining’ will go to the Kremlin. A shocking video shows the moment a barrel of liquid nitrogen exploded in a botched chemistry experiment in Spain - causing 15 people, including nine children, to be hospitalised. The blast from the experiment at the House of Culture in Girona left victims with burns, which were treated at Placa de l'Hospital, reported The Sun.
Driving in Spain...........The ambassador’s latest message has done little to calm the anger, frustration and sense of helplessness felt by those who almost five months ago were told they could no longer drive on Spanish roads, if they were resident in Spain yet still holding a UK driving licence. Since 1 May 2022, thousands of UK licence holders who had been resident in Spain for six months or more have been unable to drive with their UK licences, even though the vast majority of other EU nations have struck deals with the UK post-Brexit for the simple exchange of driving licences.
An eco warrior has prompted fury over her perplexing decision to pour a bucket of human excrement over a memorial to Captain Sir Tom Moore in a protest over the use of private jets.The bizarre decision to target a beloved national hero by former medical student Maddy Budd, 21, on behalf of pressure group End UK Private Jets.
Dr Anmol Arora, a researcher at Cambridge University, argued that the devices may affect child development for a number of reasons. When they ask a question they receive a ‘specific’ and ‘concise’ answer, but this goes against how children typically learn.

This is the fantastic story of a lesser known Liverpool artiste who was an opera singer well before the pop world embraced opera singers in a big way. David toured Europe but had done theatre dates with Gene Pitney, the Troggs and the Kinks. David found a lot of his success in Germany before coming back to the UK where he performed around the cabaret clubs. He also found success in South Africa and Egypt despite feeling that many artistes of the 60s had been outsmarted by managers and agents. He found great success in the 90s in Holland and resurgent in Germany. It is a compelling story and David told me how the groups reacted to him singing opera in the famous Liverpool Cavern.

- The news is back after the saturated coverage of the Royal Funeral.....so it's back to normal with the Government letting us know how they are going to save us all money on our energy bills...with the opposition disagreeing with everything....and none of us having a clue what they are all talking about.
- On the sporting front,,,which is far more interesting...the great Roger Federer has retired from competitive tennis.....he had it all and is an example and inspiration to future players...............
- I can put up with women's football, up to a point, but they do not belong in the commentary box......
- and the ladies have managed to get themselves into pro snooker with "mixed doubles snooker"....I watched 5 minutes of it at the weekend....no thanks
- .............and I had to laugh at one of the ladies cricket internationals where one of the bowlers stumped one of the players as she was about to bowl.....legal but rather unsporting......very naughty.
- On the entertainment front we have the return of Strictly Come Dancing......which I must admit I quite enjoy.....despite two blokes and two women dancing with each other....but the show is well put together and the band is great.
- Then we have the return on Blankety Blank..hosted by BradleyWalsh which must put him in the Guinness Book of Records for number of appearances in different programmes.....he's never off........I watched the first episode which will be enough for me.....dreadful.
- On Strictly one of the featured songs was "Go West" which the wonderful band did really well....I always thought The Village People were what pop music is all about and loved everything they did...especially this song.....I never tire of hearing it ....there is a 12 inch version of it which is as good as music gets but it is a bit long for this podcast so I would like to feature, if I may, the original version by The Village People.....definitely one of my favourites.
Mike Payne has been a Tory councillor for Sowerby Bridge in Yorkshire. We come from the same part of Merseyside and attended the same grammar school St Anselm's College, Birkenhead.

There has been endless coverage of the Queen lying in state
with thousands and thousands of her loyal subjects queuing
fo up to 24 hours to pass the coffin and show their respects
showing how respected she was.....a wonderful lady
.......and David Beckham has been praised for joining the line
with everyone else instead of using his celebrity to jump the
queue.....unlike Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby who
have taken some stick.
Football has returned after being cancelled out of respect....
which is a good thing unless you support Leicester.
One of the satellite channels has started showing old Benny
Hill shows.....they haven't aged well....I used to find him funny
back in the day but not now.....the sexism is totally over the
top....not that I am bothered about that....but it just isn't funny
any more...sorry Benny.
Out of interest I watched a film on TV about Laurel and
Hardy....called "Stan and Ollie" which covered the later years
of the duo when they went on the road.....Stan being played
by Steve Coogan and Ollie by John Reilly.......normally these
sort of films don't quite get the characters right....however this
was brilliant ...within minutes you thought you were watching
the real stars....great film.
Back in the day I was a huge fan of The Beach Boys....I loved
their harmonies and great surfing songs.....and bought all
their albums until they lost there way....in my opinion...with
"Pet Sounds"...so I watched a concert on TV featuring Brian
Wilson and a large band singing his hits.....it started well with
some of his early hits like California Girls and Help Me
Rhonda....then he goes into his later stuff so it was time to
switch off.....I would like to feature as this week's record one
of their early hits to remind us how good they were when the
surf was up and we all had "Fun Fun Fun"

- .Our loyal postmen have gone on strike....this being an example of those actually doing the work to feather the nests of those "in charge" who don't.....some of the pay rises of the so called "bosses" are obscene.
- 2.I watched a programme featuring American stand up Bill Maher....who says it as it is.....he mentioned a sexual harassment case brought up by some woman against a presidential candidate who kissed her on the back of the head....five years ago and she is still deeply distressed...no doubt the legal guys were delighted.
- 3.I watched a documentary which featured the sixties pirate radio station Radio Caroline which illustrated the outdated pillocks who ran the BBC who would only play one hour of pop music at the time.
- 4.I know I am from the past but I fail to see the point of tattoos and rings in the nose.....I know it's modern fashion....but WHY?
- 5.Bing Crosby was, and still is, my favourite crooner....I have always been a fan.....what I didn't know was his massive influence on recording techniques....and how he changed the direction of record production.....this was in a documentary I watched recently which was fascinating....I would therefore like to feature Bing in this week's record spot.....the choice is yours as all his songs were great.

Here's a magical musical memory. Fred's played the folk circuit for many years,
both prior to, and in the wake of, his single chart success. He hasalso presented
many programmes on UK West Country TV.
Fred Wedlocks's albums include The Folker (1971) (notable for the title track
parody of "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel), Frolicks (1973), Out of
Wedlock (1978), The Oldest Swinger in Town (1981) and Fred Wedlock Live
(1982).
Wedlock's daughter, Hannah Wedlock, is now a member of the Pigsty Hill
Light Orchestra, another Bristol-based outfit, whom Fred made his support
band at an early stage of their career.
A bit of football trivia......Fred Wedlock's grandfather Billy Wedlock captained
Bristol City F.C. and was a regular for England in the early 20th century.
The Wedlock stand at Ashton Gate is named in his honour.
He lived in Timsbury, Somerset.
**Police officers faced a backlash over the weekend for joining in with a
performance of the Macarena at a Pride festival, as critics accused them of not
taking their job seriously enough. Locals reacted with fury after multiple posts
were made showing on-duty officers having fun on Lincolnshire Police's social
media accounts from the festival, including the video of officers dancing. A police force has been praised for its 'fantastic decision' to bring back traditional
headwear - just six years after switching to 'more practical' US-style baseball
caps. Lancashire Police announced the U-turn on social media, saying it would be
ditching the gender-neutral headgear for all its officers, before re-introducing
bowler hats for females and white flat caps for males. The move was welcomed
by many on social media, as one suggested: 'Just need to see the custodians
return now', referring to the traditional police officer's helmet****After Just Stop Oil activists dug two tunnels underneath entrances to the
Navigator oil terminal at Saint Clements Way and Stoneness Road in Essex, they
warned the decision to partially reopen the roads was dangerous and could 'risk
their collapse'. Essex Police assistant chief constable Glen Pavelin rejected the
idea, saying it was up to the protestors to remove themselves from the tunnels
they had climbed into to avoid endangering themselves and others.****Gabriel Callero, 57, was viciously assaulted by two British holidaymakers on the
Spanish island of Majorca in the early hours of Tuesday. The incident began when
an 'intoxicated' tourist, who was walking down a street accompanied by two other
men, climbed onto the hood of the taxi at around 2am. Information has been
revealed today, Monday, August 22, about a driver who was arrested yesterday,
Sunday, August 21, for fatally running over two cyclists and leaving another
critical in the Barcelona municipality of Castellbisbaç****An alarming incident occurred on Monday, August 15 aboard a Boeing 737-800 on
flight ET-343, operated by Ethiopian Airlines airline. It was travelling on the route

Ethiopia. While flying on autopilot at 37,000 feet (11,000m) both pilots fell asleep.****– Speaking to Finnish news outlet, YLE, the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna
Marin, spoke about the leaked video of her partying which led people to question
her leadership of the country. “I’m disappointed that it has become public. I spent
the evening with friends. Partied, pretty wild, yes. Danced and sang,” she told the
broadcaster.****Sadiq Khan has today suggested that London's recent spate of violent crime is

An Avanti West Coast employee slammed those taking part in this weekend's rail strikes, saying the pay and work are already 'good' and he didn't think it was 'right' to join in. There was fresh woe for rail passengers again today as tens of thousands of train workers went on strike again in the long-running dispute over pay, jobs and conditions.But one train worker told Sky News he thought his colleagues' strike 'wasn't fair' to the public, and that those still going into work had to pick up their slack.

A few weeks ago we were shaken by the alarming figures of hunger in the world. There
have been many headlines warning that hunger now affects 828 million people, an
increase of 150 million since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.This is even more
worrying for Latin America and the Caribbean, the region that has suffered the greatest
increase in food insecurity, and in which 60 million people do not have enough food to eat.
Hunger is a gender issue. Globally, about 32% of women are moderately or severely food
insecure, compared to 27.6% of men.
I’m so pleased Boris has been kicked out as Prime Minister. What amazes me is how he

Prince Charles was accused of a 'serious lack of judgment' yesterday after it emerged his charity accepted £1million from the family of Osama bin Laden. It received the donation after Charles had a private meeting with the terrorist's half-brother Bakr bin Laden in 2013 – two years after the Al Qaeda leader was killed by US special forces.
Iván’s parents and friends described him as a normal 17-year-old. He went to high school, played soccer, took piano lessons and hung out with his buddies.

The massacre on the Faroe Islands was so bloody it turned the sea dark red as the bottlenose dolphins were stabbed with spears and hauled onto the shore . Residents of Skálafjörður herded the dolphins into a bay and penned them in before wading into the shallows to stab them with spears, hooks and knives. The 'hunt' comes just weeks after the Faroe government set an annual catch limit of dolphins to 500 a year, and less than a year after 1400 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were killed in one weekend. Residents claim the mass-killing of dolphins is an important part of their tradition and history, and supplements the islanders' diet.

MarcusRashford as a guest writer with the #Beano. He is
really working with an initiative to get children reading. We
discussed #LuisSuarez who is returning to #Uruguay. #Ronaldo
is the centre of great speculation and we looked at the general
gossip regarding transfers. Finally, we discussed the
forthcoming #CharityShield.

When I was a child, the TV weather forecasts were based around a map to which magnetic symbols, usually denoting fog or slanting rain, would be attached.When the weather did improve, it was always cheering to see childish little yellow sun images suddenly slapped on to our bit of the UK.At such times the weather forecaster might suggest it was time to ask Dad to pump up the paddling pool or get out his Panama hat.
In a keynote address Monday before the United Nations General Assembly to mark the observance of 'Nelson Mandela International Day', Prince Harry chose to condemn the United States for 'contributing to a global assault on democracy and freedom.'
A top British dance school has dropped ballet from its auditions after branding it an 'elitist art form', built around 'white European ideas and body shapes'. The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD) reviewed the dance as part of a wider plan to 'decolonise the curriculum', and consider the impact of race and gender on dance. Officials spent more than £38,000 in taxpayers' cash at a Domino's branch buying pizza for migrants last year, according to new figures. Border Force staff at Dover's now-closed Tug Haven holding centre used government credit cards to pay for the food over just five months last year.
Dr Lalitaa Suglani reveals 7 things that can kill relationships 1. Being indirect about your wants and needs.2. Forcing the other person to change the way you want them to be.3. Not making an effort to understand your partner's perspective.4. Disengaging during disagreement instead of having 'difficult' conversations and/or using disrespectful language.5. Not apologising or taking accountability.6. Not having a life away from the relationship, such as hobbies, meeting with friends.7. Ignoring your partner's trauma, triggers, or past experiences.
@vincetracy and @markcarter discussed various aspects of
football in this podcast. We quickly paid a tribute to Eric Malpus
before we started discussing Mark's passion for his club
BristolRovers. Mark told us about his home city and its two
famous teams of #Bristol City and the Rovers. During the
lockdown Mark has been able to get over to Bristol and follow
his team and it was very interesting to hear about Mark's
travels. We looked at the #LadiesFootball and the #UEFA
Euros. I think the girls are playing great technical soccer. We
spoke about #ManchesterUnited and their disastrous season.
We also looked at the possibilities of having mixed teams in the
future.

@vincetracy was riding solo as various situations change
around this time of the year. The decision was made to create a
podcast using the articles that are presented around the
various websites plus my own input. I watched the start of the
Womens Euros and #England were competent in their 1-0
defeat against #Austria who were worthy opponents. I looked at
the salaries the ladies can earn. There was an article about
why #DuncanFerguson is leaving #Everton and another article
has yet another rape allegation against a #Premier player.

@vincetracy and @robdaniels started this week's podcast by
discussing the role of agents and how these agents are driving
up the cost of players. Obviously, they will be adding to their
percentage commissions. We turned our attention to the online
activities of people who want to abuse others. This seems to be
motivated by people who are inherent racists and we want
people to know that we have not grown up with this racism
currently promoted by the media. We looked at Everton's
decision to shun gambling sponsors and we discussed the high
profile transfer go-round. We also needed to look at the
Women's Euro competition which begins on Friday next week.

Ukraine Premier League and whether the political
situation makes it unwise to continue the football. There
is the #Euros ahead for the ladies footballers and we
looked at a few angles. #Everton are suspending their

Waking up before everyone else to reserve a sun lounger with a towel is often a
contentious subject, with many arguing the early bird catches the worm. But in Spain, the
early bird in this case will receive a £25 fine - and unruly tourists could face even more
substantial penalties if they are not careful. Holidaymakers braving airport chaos in
Britain to head to Spain this summer will need to pay attention if they don't want to fall foul
of a range of newly imposed 'offences'.
Even showering at the beach could put you at risk of needing an early flight home.
If you are caught washing the sea water out of your hair using soap or shampoo at any
Spanish beach shower you could be fined up to £620. This is because the chemicals in
these products are harmful to marine life and has been made illegal.
Though it may be tempting to try and sleep a long night of drinking off on the beach, you
may be woken by someone handing you a fine for £1,300. Areas like Valencia sleeping
or camping on the beach to be dangerous and have completely forbidden people from
doing so.
Lawmakers in Vigo, a city in the Galicia region, said anyone found relieving themselves 'in
the sea or on the beach' will be forced to shell out £645. The city council has branded
public urination a 'minor infraction' and 'an infringement of hygiene and sanitary
regulations.'
Beachgoers caught playing bat and ball or attempting to reserve a spot on the beach with
a towel will also be fined under the by-laws that came into force on July 18th.
Walking around the street with only swimwear on to soak up the sun could catch you a
£250 fine in some parts of Spain.Men walking around with their shirts off, or women
wearing only bikinis risk a huge fine, which reportedly already been dished out in
Barcelona and Mallorca.

Holidaymakers who endured airport chaos in the UK are facing huge delays in Ibiza where

Travellers have struggled to secure taxis and public transport to their accommodation

@vincetracy and @robdaniels began today's podcast with a
heartfelt tribute to our colleague Eric Malpus who sadly died
yesterday. Thank You Eric for your great podcasts and radio
broadcasts with us. We discussed the breaking news about
Diego #Maradona before looking at the forthcoming Womens'
Euro football finals being played in €ngland. This led to a
discussion on #transgender issues in football and how it can be
threatening progress in #Women's Football. We looked at
strange new rules in football where commonsense is having to
be written very large. We looked at the high profile transfers
with #Haaland to #ManchesterCity and #Mane from #Liverpool
to #BayernMunich
**New Rules for Tourists....The laws were touted as the first in Europe to restrict the
promotion and sale of alcohol in tourist areas. They also aim to halt the
'cheapening' of the Balearic Islands and attract new investors that were being put
off by its rowdy image. Council leaders have been mounting a fightback to try to
clean up the image of resorts like Magaluf since it was rocked by scandal in 2014
when a British holidaymaker was filmed performing sex acts on 24 men. The
incident led Majorca's top politician at the time - Jose Ramon Bauza - to dub
Magaluf's notorious party strip Punta Ballena as '500 metres of shame'. In 2018
council chiefs upped the ante against badly-behaving tourists in Magaluf by
putting up street signs warning them of heavy fines for street drinking,
nakedness and fighting. The brightly-coloured signs, which carried the banner
line 'Have fun with respect' were mounted on lamp-posts and other visible spots
in the party resort. Thousands of British tourists flock to the islands every year,
including large groups of revellers who have earned them an infamous
reputation. Most of the new restrictions came into place in 2020 but Covid means
many Brits are only now becoming aware of them.**

All parents who take their children on holiday during term time will be handed a fixed
penalty notice (FPN), the Government announced today. The new truancy crackdown
will also see FPNs issued to parents whose children are late five times in one term, take
five unauthorised absences, go on holiday during term time, or are out in public in the five
days of an exclusion. Education Secretary Nadim Zahawi vowed to end the 'postcode
lottery' over how local councils deal with school absences. He said: 'I know from the
Children's Commissioner's work on school attendance that children themselves hugely
value being in school with their teachers and their friends.

@vincetracy chats with Mike and Bernadette Byrne about a journey which begins with Mike singing in Them Grimbles around Liverpool and then Hamburg in Germany. Bernadette tells us of her friendships with the Beatles and that is the first part of the story. Mike and Bernadette then had a dream about making a tribute to the Beatles as a Tourism attraction which came to fruition and which the world can now visit in Liverpool. Mike and Bernadette have written a book and this is outlined in this podcast.

The European Court of Human Rights' (ECHR) decision to block the deportation of
asylum seekers to Rwanda may be utterly predictable but what is surprising is the speed
at which it came to its judgment. As Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said

Spain has introduced a new draft law aimed at cracking down on prostitution.

..........The British Academy are to feature a large-scale project exploring accent discrimination
as academics argue that accent-ism is alive and well in Britain in 2022. Though people
form judgements about others from the way they speak, listeners are often unaware of
their deeply embedded ‘implicit’ biases. Dr Robert McKenzie who leads the Northumbria
University project said: “This is the prejudice that can dare speak its name, we are not
allowed to be biased in terms of gender, we are not allowed to be biased in terms of
sexual orientation.” “But denigrating accents is still allowed,” he said. “You just have to
watch an episode of The Simpsons to see the way people from the southern United
States are depicted. It is surprising I think that people still get away with it.”

After facing the pandemonium of cancelled flights and
police tear gas outside the stadium the Liverpool fans were
left with a hard to to take defeat in the Euro final.....some
even hired a speedboat to get there....a bit of a damp squib
to end the season on with a game they tactically should
have won...and would have done had the Spanish goalie
not played a blinder.
Boris and his Christmas party is still headline news....will
we ever move on?.....and there's nothing more annoying
than someone shouting to the Prime Minister as he walks to
his car "Are you going to resign Prime Minister?"....which
Boris rightly ignores.....and it would make a nice change if
the Labour Party actually came up with something
constructive instead of constantly criticising the
Government.
Also the horrific shooting of school kids in America has had
blanket coverage on the news.....it is difficult for people who
live in countries where guns are illegal to comprehend the
American viewpoint.
The rolling headlines underneath the BBC News bulletins
went slightly wrong.....they were (apparently) training
someone on how it's done and he typed in "Manchester
United are rubbish" which accidentally came up on the
screen as the news was being read......the BBC have
apologised.
I watched documentary on the 40 years of ABBA since they
packed up....very interesting and quite tragic in parts.Prices
of everything continue to rise for no real apparent
reason....a pal of mine uses a car wash each week and the
cost has gone up by £4......."because they can't get the
chemicals".....soap and water isn't it?....and with cups of tea
costing at least £2.50 it is cheaper to drink Diesel.....

After authorities in Madrid closed a gay sauna in the capital on Friday that had been
identified as a possible place of the origin of monkeypox in Spain, more suspected cases
have been recorded across the country, including the first infection of a woman. Spanish
media have reported that there are now ‘at least 30’ confirmed cases nationwide.
Authorities on Saturday were investigating whether parties on the tourist island of Gran
Canaria have been the source of several further infections, according to healthcare sector
sources. Around 80,000 people from Spain and other countries attended the Maspalomas
Gay Pride festival that took place there on 5-15 May.
The Spanish left-leaning coalition government approved a draft bill on Tuesday to
reinforce abortion rights and make Spain the first country in Europe to offer state-funded
paid leave for women who suffer from severe period pain. ‘Today we send an
international message of support to all women who are fighting for their sexual and
reproductive rights,’ Equality Minister Irene Montero told reporters, with the government
hoping to guarantee access to abortion across Spain and de-stigmatise menstrual health
with its new bill.
Qatar has committed to investing 4.7 billion euros in Spain as the country launches an
economic overhaul with its share of European Union pandemic recovery funding.
Qatar’s emir, Shekih Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, announced that the energy-rich gulf
state would boost its investments in Spain at a state dinner with Spanish king Felipe VI
late on Tuesday. The details of the investments were not made public beyond Spain’s
government saying that they would help guarantee the country’s ‘energy security’ and its
transition to a ‘green economy’.
But with Europe scrambling to find alternatives to Russian energy, Qatar has been looked
to a source of liquefied natural gas given its massive gas reserves. The emir and Spanish
prime minister met on Wednesday in Madrid and signed 12 agreements to solidify
stronger bilateral relations. The agreements covered topics ranging from the economy
and commerce to education, military cooperation, health and science.
Spain, which received the second-biggest EU allocation behind Italy, plans to deploy 70
billion euros of direct EU transfers during 2021-23. It is set for an additional 70 billion

money from Qatar would ‘provide a flow of investments into Spain for its projects for a
green and digital economy’.
Moscow expelled 27 Spanish diplomats on Wednesday, as well as dozens more from
France and Italy, in retaliation for the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Madrid and
other European countries following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The employees of the Spanish Embassy in Moscow and the Spanish Consulate General
in Saint Petersburg ‘have been declared persona non grata’ and have seven days to

“The last time we fished there it rained for most of the match and with the river rising, the
fishing was hard,” said Carp-R-Us secretary Steve Fell. This time conditions looked
particularly good as the river had a steady flow and everyone was looking forward to a
good match. “How wrong that turned out to be!” Steve said. “Everyone struggled for
bites and with at least 30 dead fish drifting down the river during the match there was a
strong feeling that something in the river was affecting both the fish and the fishing.
Incredibly sad.”

response. We looked at the ownership rules as a new phase of
Chelsea ownership is set to take place. Are the Americans
planning to take over our football? There was a frantic end to
the season in the Bargain Basement where #Leeds stayed at
the expense of #Burnley who are now linked with
VincentKompany. Rob gave us an outline of the structure of
the Spanish football leagues before turning his attention to
LaLiga in general and #Mallorca in particular. As we reviewed
the #Premier final games we looked next to the
ChampionsLeague final in Paris.
This is the story of Jimbo (aka James Gaffney) who lived in the UK and decided to change his life and come to live in Spain. Unfortunately, we had a recession in 2008, Brexit in 2016 and a Pandemic which we are living through. Jimbo tells us about his early life and how he began to develop his career. We have common ancestry through Ireland and learn about our common strands during the podcast. Jim met his lovely wife Sharron and they have developed their lives and careers together in UK and Spain. Sharron and Jim came to to live on the Costa Blanca and I will leave you to hear the rest of Jimbo's story. This is a MUST hear podcast for anyone who has done the same or is thinking of coming to live in Spain

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the wonderful played
by #ManCity that has earned them the #PremierLeague title for
- We discussed the exciting brand of football which
LIverpool played to reduce the January deficit from 15 points
to a mere point by the time the final whistle was blown. This led
to the discussion regarding the qualities and skills of the
managers #PepeGuardiola and #JurgenKlopp. This developed
into aspects of finance and ownership and whether money can
buy the trophies. Does the system defeat the genius? Sadly, we
needed to discuss the dangerous aspects of the unacceptable
pitch invasions before looking at the outcome of next weekend's
ChampionsLeague final
@donwoods joined @vincetracy to discuss
Packaging.....why is everything you buy so hard to open
without a road drill?
The footballer coming out as gay has hit the news....this
aint news...who cares?...on his money he should learn to
ignore abuse from morons.
PrinceWilliam and the national anthem was booed at the
cup final.....and as always the small handful of boneheads
get maximum publicity from the media who continue to
scrape the barrel for "news".
And still on the Royalty front...#Charles and #Camilla will be
appearing in #EastEnders which defies comment.
The 4 hours of the #Eurovision also received another shed
load on the news which brought in many complaints to the
BBC who as usual "felt they got it right"
Along with #Speke Airport becoming The John Lennon
Airport we now have a ferry terminal on the Mersey being
named The #GerryMarsden Terminal....what next the Ringo
Star Yellow Submarine....sorry...SIR Ringo.
The couple who won 180 million on the lottery have been
squirting champagne everywhere on the news.....big
mistake in my opinion.
This weeks song is very interesting......it is called "What If"
and is sung by a young lady called #DinaGaripova....it asks
the question as to what a better world it would be if we
opened our arms to each other, came together as one and
and buried our guns...it was Russia's 2013 Eurovision
entry....seems a shame they don't listen to their songs.

@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the gossip from the
football press regarding #GarethBale #Lionel Messi and
MBappe and other leading personalities. We discussed the
Booing of #PrinceWilliam at the #FACup final and the real
reasons behind what happened. The actual FA Cup final was a
very dramatic affair although others have described the game
as boring. Rob looked at the #LaLiga situation and the fact that
Barcelona have in fact finished second. We discussed the
formof the teams at the top and bottom of the #PremierLeague
and turned our attention to the predictions for the final round of
games. Will #Leeds, #Everon or #Burnley go down?
@vincetracy and @neilcolbourne discuss 'Prince William and those Boos!'....and much more
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the #FACup final
where #Liverpool defeated #Chelsea on penalties. We then
looked at the way the news bulletins try to brainwash the public.
Where the news has highlighted the fact that a footballer has
decided to tell the world he's gay. The news editors create
problems and this is a prime example of what is not newsworthy.
On the other hand the news has tried to make an issue of the
fact that #princeWilliam was booed at the #Wembley Cup
final.The media has conveniently forgotten the Home Secretary
was in favour of the public having a voice and the Speaker of
the UK parliament needs to revisit his history books! We
reviewed the Premier games and predicted the last few games.
Hi Vince....a few subjects to entertain our listeners.....l
I watched the FA Cup final which is a couple of hours I
wont get back....I've seen better games in the local park
.I had one too many pints during the Cup Final (to ease the
boredom) and fell asleep during the Eurovision Song
Contest....I woke up at the start of the results with Graham
Norton talking over the presenters....someone should have
put a gag on him.....I was glad that Ukraine won which
showed that the world are behind them.....we came second
which made a change.
Kier Stermer's pathetic attempt at "integrity"was a joke and
an insult to our intelligence.
Prince Charles carrying out the Queen's Speech with a ton
of medals on his tunic and a massive sword he had to keep
off the ground....he looked like a cartoon.
A potrait of Marilyn Monroe by Andy Waholwhich has sold
for 195 million dollars....I think the expression is "more
money than sense"
There is a new format of "The Chase" which is well past it's
sell by date.....so Bradley is still everywhere you
look.Packaging.....some things are impossible to get into
without a road drill.
This week's bad record is one from the distant past.....it's by
Frank Ifield who had three consecutive number ones back
in the day....however although this song was a hit the more
you hear it the more irritating it gets......it is called "She
Taught Me To Yodel" by Frank Ifield.

@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the tremendous form
of #ManchesterCity in general and #KevindeBruyne in
particular. #Liverpool struggled in midweek to defeat
AstonVilla and this follwed a struggle to draw at home with
Spurs.. We looked at the problems of reading correct
information on the internet before discussing the allocation of
tickets for the #ChampionsLeague final. We looked at the
excellent career of #CarloAncelotti in winning the five major
league titles We managed to squeeze in a #LaLiga roundup
whilst we had a lot of #PremierLeague games to review and
predict.
Legendary TV actor Dennis Waterman has died at the age of 74, his family has confirmed.
Waterman was one of the most popular television actors of the 1970s in 80s, starring the
The Sweeney, Minder and Life and Loves of a She-Devil. In more recent years, he starred
in BBC's New Tricks alongside veteran actors Amanda Redman, James Bolam and Alun
Armstrong. In a statement, his family said he died today with his wife Pam at his side.
A 'mass trespass' through a restricted estate used for pheasant shooting in South Devon

With her hair tied into a bun, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy walked across
the courtroom and passed within inches of her rival Coleen, who glanced in her direction
for the first time all day. She then took to the stand and swore on the bible before being
quizzed by Coleen's barrister David Sherborne. The WAGs have been at war since
October 2019 after Coleen accused her fellow footballer's wife of leaking 'false stories'
about her private life, before claiming she had uncovered the culprit after carrying out a
social media 'sting operation'.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the exciting stages of
the #Premier League with #Liverpool drawing with #Spurs and
ManchesterCity looking wonderful as they thrashed
Newcastle. We looked at the transfer rumours with
RahimSterling #Haaland and #Mane before discussing the
ticket allocations for the #ChampionsLeague final. We
congratulated the return of #fulham and #Bournemouth to the
PremierLeague and discussed which might be the third team
to be promoted. Eric fancies #Luton and I think #Huddersfield
Our review of the #Premier Games was extensive and our
predictions looked at the #premier week ahead and Saturday's
Cup final between #Liverpool and #Chelsea.
**We have just been subjected to the local elections with blanket
TV coverage....personally I couldn't be less interested.....with
BBC reporters being sent all over the country by planes and
trains to do interviews in the street....well worth my licence
fee.....I don't think.
Then we have the big build up to Susanna Reid interviewing
Boris `Johnson....which is the first interview he has done on
ITV in 5 years....I switched it off half way through.....the only
way it could have been worse was if Piers Morgan had
interviewed him.
After Kier Starmer has been going on and on and on about the
Boris Xmas party....he is now being investigated for a similar
"offence" a year ago.....and THIS is news.....it's like a bunch of
school kids.
I'm delighted for BP and Shell after they announced the
billions they have made in profits....of course they have made
billions...they have been ripping us off for years.....the rich get
richer......diesel is £1.74 a litre which in real terms is £7 a
gallon....it's a joke.
And on the subject of rip offs....there has been many
complaints from football fans over the price of
tickets....apparently you can pay 100 quid to watch the cup
final at Wembley....which doesn't include your travel etc....OR
you can watch it on the telly for nothing.....I understand the
overpowering loyalty of fans but to me it's just a football
match...that's all....and you are not FORCED into being ripped
off.......the answer is simple...don't go...and watch the prices
amazingly come down.
Prince Charles has been briefly appearing on the news at
various events.....someone should tell his royal highness that
the big brown overcoat he wears is not cool.....it belongs in
world war 1.......and we understand that Harry and Andrew will
not be appearing on the royal balcony as they are no longer
members of the family....or something.

Maradonna's shirt he wore when he scored the #handofGod
goal. It sold at #Sotherbys for 7million ponds. We developed a
theme of how international football impacts on society and I
mentioned my son. Andrew, meeting #MichaelOwen and
SteveMcManaman in a hotel in #Villareal. We then discussed
the thrilling week of #ChampionsLeague which saw #Liverpool
and #RealMadrid emerge as the finalists after thrilling
encounters against #Villareal and #ManCity. Rob looked at
LaLiga before we reviewed the #premierLeague games played
and predicted the #Premier games ahead.
Boys who self-identify as girls are being placed in female-only dorms at a summer camp

Eton schoolboys have launched a protest over fears that the £42,000-a-year public
school's woke leadership wants to scrap its 160-year-old hunting society. The
prestigious institution, attended by the likes of David Cameron and PM Boris Johnson,
failed to recruit a new Kennel Huntsman for the Eton College Hunt (ECH) to replace the
previous incumbent who recently left for another role.Trustees of the ECH, made up of
former Etonians and the Hunting Office, claimed there is a national shortage of Kennel
Huntsmen and seven other hunts have also been unable to fill the position.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the forthcoming
ChampionsLeague semi-finals second leg which will see the
final two emerge from #Vllareal #Liverpool #ManchesterCity or
RealMadrid. Both games are finely balanced and we will see
tonight which teams will grace the final in
Paris.#ManchesterUnited will be hoping for better things next
year as they completed their home games against #Brentford.
We discussed the money involved in finishing in the top four.
Everton went from the ridiculous to the sublime as they
defeated #Chelsea and it was another weekend of high
intensity as the premier clubs near the end of the season. We
predicted the forthcoming games.

up with an idea to stop child obesity....apparently a suggestion

these products as you can imagine

at a local jamboree....so I would like to feature it in this weeks
music spot....Scouts of The World...sung by Stephen Woods.**
The tensions between Spain ratcheted up a gear today April 27th as Algeria
threatens Spain that it will cut the country’s gas supply if any is diverted to
Morocco. That would see the recognition of its autonomy but under the control of

that the step taken by the central Executive favours its opponent in the region.

@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the sadness of the

scoring hat-trick number 60 which is an amazing statistic. We
then looked at the worsening situation at #ManchesterUnited.
Gerard #Pique is a businessman as well as a good footballer
but we do not like his dealings with the #Saudis. Rob gave us
the lowdown on #LaLiga with a #CopadelRey final at the

FACup and they will play #Chelsea in the final. Then Liverpool
outclassed #ManUnited as just one of the many #Premier

Britain could soon approve its first new coal mine in decades as it tries to reduce
reliance on Russian imports. Levelling Up secretary Michael Gove is reportedly
preparing to give the thumbs up to a new colliery in Cumbria despite opposition
from climate campaigners.
Fracking has transformed America from being a net energy importer, reliant on
supplies from often unstable countries, to a net exporter. Natural gas produces
fewer carbon emissions than oil and coal, so it’s ‘greener’ and less polluting than
they are.Nevertheless, it’s still a fossil fuel — and thus, according to
environmental activists, should stay in the ground.
Two graffiti artists who were killed by an oncoming train while tagging a Brooklyn

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the possible
introduction of a regulator in English football. It is intriguing to
see what is really meant by the new owners test. I think we both
agree that money talks and when we hear the fans are the most
important part of the puzzle remember how many games were
being played without crowds? We discussed the relevance of
statistics during matches with #Allan of #Everton recording i
tackle and 5 passes in the #Merseyside derby. It's the
ChampionsLeague semi-finals with #ManCity and #Liverpool
against #RealMadrid and #Villareal. We reviewed the matches
in the #PremierLeague and looked at another pivotal week with
a diificult trip to #Newcastle for Liverpool.
The news is still going on about Boris Johnson's Xmas party.....all this is doing now is giving no mark M.P.s the opportunity to get their faces on TV all saying the same thing with none of them coming up with any alternative solutions.....definitely time to MOVE ON.
The easiest job in the world is be a critic or a football pundit....we have professional film critics who grace us with their opinions....and pundits who sit round a table and discuss a match we have just watched....and get highly paid for doing so....talk about easy money.....and this comes out of our TV licence....which will no doubt soon go up because of the shortage of oil or something equally as stupid.
Main roads are being altered to include wide cycle lanes.....how long before the accidents start?....not to mention idiots on electric bikes.
The local council's latest brilliant idea is to increase the charge of emptying your garden waste bin from 35 pounds to 50 pounds a year which hasn't gone down too well with our ratepayers.....as the said bins are only emptied every two weeks and don't require emptying during the winter.... are they having a laugh.......what will obviously happen is folk will fly tip their grass all over the place.....the council complain that they are short of money...try checking out the salaries of some of the bosses who are surplus to requirements.
We have a terrible war going on but 17 minutes of space is required on the BBC News to watch Johnny Depp mumbling away in court with his marital problems...WHO CARES?............... put him on my list.I watched another episode of the Jimmy Saville scandal......which left me totally baffled......he walks around with this huge cigar in his mouth....takes it out and mutters a load of nonsense...and shoves it back in his mouth....they could find no evidence of his alleged sexual misconduct until he died....then we get 400 accusers coming out of the woodwork.....to me the bloke was a total nut case.
A film called "The Magnet" has recently been on the telly....it was made in 1951 and stars James `Fox as a young lad and was filmed in and around Wallasey on Merseyside where I was born......it was fascinating to see how the area has changed since I was a six year old.....great film.
This week...for a change...instead of choosing some of the worst records ever made I would like to treat you to the best instrumental ever made....it dates back to the fifties and I still never tire of hearing it....a masterpiece....it is by The Ventures and is called "Walk Don't Run"......
Spain’s National Court has sentenced a gun enthusiast who threatened to kill Spanish
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to seven and a half years in jail, according to details of the
ruling released on Tuesday. Manuel Murillo Sánchez, a 65-year-old security guard from

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the sacking of #Sean
Dyche who had been the Premier League's longest serving
manager during his time at Burnley. You can read about his
playing career on Wiki but his heroics at #Burnley are
legendary as he staved off relegation year after year with very
little money. Most teams dreaded the visit to face his team in
the frozen wastes of Burnley. We also discussed the
ridiculously extravagant bonus earned by #CristianoRonaldo for
doing what he is already overpaid to do! The #ManCity v
Liverpool rivalry is being hyped in the media and we prefer the
football to be prioritised. Congratulations to #Chelsea who meet
Liverpool in the #FACup final

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus normally enjoy chewing the fat
over the current situations in the football world. With Eric not
being available this week Vince looked at the unusual
occurrence in the tunnel after the #ManUnited defeat at the
hands of #Everton. Superstar #CristianoRonaldo was involved
in an incident when a fan's phone fell to the floor and was
smashed. The subsequent fallout from this event is well written
in the press reports but I am trying to see this in another way.
The world of football is in turmoil and I looked at the #Chelsea
bids to buy the club. I also looked at #RichardKeys who is a fine
media broadcaster and an outspoken critic of the way
ManchesterUnited played at #Everton

used West Indian cotton.
@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed football's mixed
fortunes where #Ronaldo and #Portugal have qualified for the
Qatar World Cup and #moSalah will have his bargaining
power slightly diminished as #Egypt were knocked out of
Qatar by his #Liverpool club mate #Mane and #Senegal.
That's twice he's lost his bragging rights to his dynamic team
mate. We looked at #Chelsea with their problems and #England
with the fans booing #HarryMcGuire. We discussed the
outrageous money of #GarethBale despite his #Wales
performance being excelelnt and #Ozil's reservations at
Arsenal. We made our #Premier predictions, Rob looked at
Spanish soccer and then we reviewed the rise in Premier wages
Whoopi Goldberg has joined the chorus of people calling on the royal family to apologize

the tournament would have little effect.
Ricky Gervais is reportedly set to shock audiences with his most controversial show yet,
which will take on 'woke cancel culture', according to reports. The comedian, 60, is said

matches we had last week with #England defeating
Switzerland, #Wales and #Bales defeating #Austria and
interesting games with #Ireland and #Belgium and #Holland
playing a thrilling game against #Denmark and
ChristianEriksson on the scoresheet. We discussed the game

the return of #JeffStelling to #SkyTV. We discussed the rise of
the Premier League wages from #JohnBarnes earning 10.000
per week in 1992 to #GarethBales earning 500, 000 PER

the health issues raised by #KrisKamara from his appearance
on #SkySports with #JeffSpelling. We turned our attention to
the #FACup quarter-finals and the forthcoming #Wembley
venue for the semi-finals. Both #Liverpool and #Manchester
have suggested current transport problems are likely to affect
attendance at the games. Rob gave us the lowdown on #LaLiga

2018.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed an article by Dutch
former Manchester United manager and now in charge of
Holland and he clearly outlined his thoughts on whether the
WorldCup should be played in #Qatar. He is in no doubt that
FIFA and #UEFA are only interested in making money. He
doesn't think that #HumanRights matters are properly
considered. We looked at the problems of #Chelsea before
looking at our grass roots experience of the game. We then
reviewed the wonderful games in the #FACup quarter finals and
whether #Wembley is the right venue for the semi-finals.
Finally, we reviewed the #Premier and wished #KrisKamara well
Hi Vince here's a few subjects to chew over....I've got some good input.
First the blanket coverage of the war is getting criticised.....and the showing of information which would be of use to the Russians .
The P & O fiasco with the sacking of 800 employees without notice The ridiculous price of petrol and beer....rip offs only last a short time
Two TV programmes ....Tom Jones at 80.....John Lennon Imagine
Michael Portillo's railway journey to Holyhead. Bill Wyman's past wedding. Us older folk complain a lot about modern music.....however this is an example of what we had back then.....The Bee Song by Arthur Askey
@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the turmoil at
Chelsea where the situation is bad enough after the
Abramovich sanctions have begun to bite. Things are not
really helped when the team is playing well. they get a good
result in the #Champions League and the fans kick off in #Lille.
We discussed #Ronaldo and his situation with #Rangnick and
ManchesterUnited. We discussed the #PremierLeague title
race with things hotting up with #Liverpool and #ManCity both
likely candidates-. We looked at the #Premier games that were
played over the past week. We then made our forecasts for the
games ahead and made our wishes felt over who we might want
to win the FA Cuo quarter finals.
A Russian journalist who defied Vladimir Putin's crackdown on free speech to
denounce his war on Ukraine on live TV has said she fears for her safety but
does not plant to leave the country. Marina Ovsyannikova, 43, dubbed the
'bravest women on television', said she is 'extremely concerned' after being
handed a £210 fine by a Russian court - a mere fraction of the retaliation
expected, raising fears that more punishment awaits her.
UK FIRE crews dealt with a record 1,640 requests for help from obese Brits trapped in their homes last year.........
A dishonest doctor from East Yorkshire who mistakenly injected a patient with local anaesthetic and steroids in the wrong hip and then tried to cover it up with lies has been struck off. A tribunal found the Hull doctor's actions showed a 'serious.........

Ten thousand daily steps is not the sweet spot for health, according to a study that suggests just 6,000 is enough. American researchers have found that getting between 6,000 and 8,000 steps each day reduces the risk of an early death for people over the age of 60 by up to 54 per cent. Social media influencers are causing ‘great harm’ by persuading thousands of young people they need to change their gender to be happy, MPs have been told
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the difficulties that
have been caused by globalisation and how @#Chelsea will
have to adjust after the problems of #Abromovich. We also
discussed the inconsistancies caused by the human rights
violations in #Saudi and how #EddieHowe has made it obvious
he doesn't want to become embroiled in the politics according
to newspaper reports. #Var was in the firing line once again as
we discussed the #Brighton goalkeeper trying to kick clear
despite #Diaz of #Liverpool ducking to head the ball. #Var are
obviously sponsored by #Specsavers, Lots to discuss from the
Premier games with #Ronaldo taking centre stage.
The TV Programme "Rock Til We Drop" which features selection of
musicians between the ages of 65 to 85 chosen to form a band to
perform at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Dodgy children's programmes from the past....e.g. Captain
Puigwash....how did they get away with it?
Cookery programmes.....and the ridiculous "presentation" of
food.....and the price of a pint is more than my first weekly pay packet.
Price of private dental check ups
A recent item on the unbelievable conditions Miners had to work under
back in the day...and we go on about slavery.
Charles Darwin's birthplace in Shrewsbury....fascinating.
Tina Turner concert in 2000....as good as it gets....the best concert I
have ever seen...and on the exact opposite of the spectrum...."Please
Please Please Let me get what I want" sung by Morrisey. and The
Smiths...a perfect example of a decent band who definitely need a
replacement singer.
Nice band hand arrangement until Morrisey sings
Terry is not available this week and it is with great pleasure I introduce Emilio Belagios
once again. Emilio is a Spanish former lecturer in English and stepped into the breach with no time to
prepare for our discussion. My thanks to Emilio and we will speak with Terry next week..
We discussed the tragic situation in Ukraine and tried to discover how the mood is in the
local towns and places that Emilio visits. We also touched on the automatic acceptance of
Ukranians here in Spain following the usual pattern of warm-hearted acceptance by Spanish people when others are in dire need.
@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the sad events
in #Ukraine and offered our condolences to the victims
of war. Rob told us a bout a player who refused to comply with
wearing a generic anti-war badge. The player gave genuine
reasons for non-compliance. We looked at the sanctions
imposed against Russia by #FIFA #UEFA and the English #FA
and the woes of #Chelsea beacause they were owned by
Abramovich. The #Ronaldo saga continues with #Rangnick
unable to solve the problems as yet. There have been some
amazing #ChampionsLeague games with #RealMadrid taking
the eye with their comeback against #PSG. Rob looked at
LaLiga and we finished with the #Premier league.
A huge fire has broken out in a block of flats and offices near London's Algate East underground station
- sending 'glass panels crashing hundreds of meters to the ground'. Around 125 firefighters in 20
vehicles are currently at the scene of the inferno on the 17th floor of a high rise building on Whitechapel
High Street in Aldgate, east London.
Calls are growing for people to boycott Coca-Cola as they have yet to pull operations out of Russia despi
te Putin's invasion of Ukraine entering its twelfth day. Trends on Twitter including #BoycottCocaCola surf
aced over the weekend as it emerged the company, which has 10 bottling plants in Russia, is not making
any changes to operations following the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the sadness of life in
Ukraine as the Russian invasion continues. We paid our
respects to the victims of this conflict. There was a
ManchesterUnited flavour to this week's discussion as we
looked at the fallout after the brilliance of #ManCity in the
Manchester derby. We discussed the behaviour of the
Chelsea fans who chanted the name of #Abramovich during
the minute's silence accorded to #Ukraine. We discussed the
life and times of the late Man Utd manager #FrankO'Farrell who
died at the age of 94. #AlexFerguson's words came back to
haunt him in another incident before we discussed the action
@donwoods and @vincetracy discussed #ShaneWarne #Cricket #JimLaker #Athletics #Education #Wirral #Wallasey #School #SirRogerBannister #SebastianCoe #Music #Bands #Groups #SpandauBallet #TheFloralPavilion #RalphMcTell #Cornwall #SmuelSmiles #MargaretThatcher #Yorkshire
@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the sad events of
events in #Ukraine and the selling of #Chelsea has been one
unforeseen consequence as #RomanAbramovic is asking for 3
bn. Although the current owner has not criticised #Russia it
would seem he has to be a little circumspect with his comments.
We looked at how players have a responsibility to behave and
how repercussions can come back to haunt miscreants. There
have been great games in the #FACup after a wonderful
CarabaoCup final with both #Chelsea and #Liverpool thrilling
their fans. We reviewed the #Premier matches and the dreadful
Var decision between #ManCity and #Everton. Obviously, we
predicted the week ahead.

Hollymount Primary School in Raynes Park, South London, hosted the burlesque entertainer Dolly Trolley during its 'This Is Me' day last Tuesday as part of a week-long celebration of diversity.
. An artificial intelligence algorithm used by YouTube to automatically add captions to clips, has been accidentally inserting explicit language into children's videos. The system, known as ASR (Automatic Speech Transcription), was found displaying words like corn as porn, beach as bitch and brave as rape, as reported by Wired.
The government is planning an overhaul of the history curriculum in schools that will push 'diversity, migration and cultural change' over 'classic' topics like the Tudors or the Second World War. Children aged five to 14 will get to focus on the rich breadth of history, rather than being taught a narrow range of British-centric topics solely in preparation for GCSEs.
.Rail union bosses who today brought London's tube network to a standstill rake in a combined total of £327,427 in salary and benefits a year - including two cars. Around 10,000 members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) today walked out for 24 hours - and will do it again on Thursday - in a row over jobs, pensions and conditions. But their bosses are unlikely to feel the pinch of having to shell out on expensive taxis felt by some Londoners today, thanks to their high pay and an RMT-subsidised car.
This is the moment Britain's most wanted woman was arrested by Spanish police following nearly a decade on the run. Privately-educated university graduate Sarah Panitzke, 47, was held on Sunday by officers from an elite Madrid-based police unit as she walked her dog near her home in Santa Barbara village, between Barcelona and Valencia. 6. Agents of Spain’s National Police specialising in historical heritage have recovered the last part of a 17th-century Flemish tapestry that was stolen 42 years ago by an art thief known in Spain as Erik el Belga – ‘Erik the Belgian’.........
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the world situation
and how the sanctions might work against Russia. We know the
Eurovision song contest is not taken too seriously in England
but maybe it's different in Russia. We looked at how the
treatment of #Abramovic might have affected #Chelsea who
played a great #Carabao final against #Liverpool. We paid
tribute to the legace of #Bielsa who has had to leave #Leeds
after their terrible run of heavy defeats. We looked at the
outrageous #Var decision at #Everton when the world could
see their genuine penalty claim against #ManCity dismissed.
We reviewed and predicted the #Premier games.

@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the disappointing
news from Russia and Ukraine and wished for a peaceful
outcome. We also wished a Happy Birthday to Ramon Gabin
who has appeared on this podcast. as a guest presenter. We
discussed the #ChampionsLeague and the possible change of
venue for the final. There was a good win for #Chelsea and a
draw for #ManUnited before Rob gave his #LaLiga lowdown.
We looked at snippets around the football world including
Snakes in #Guatamala and a hat-trick of own goals in ladies
football for a #NewZealand player. We reviewed some great
PremierLeague games where #Leeds are looking vulnerable
with #Liverpool closing the gap on #ManCity at the top.
**Catch up with @#LeapyLee....what a year
we have just lived through! We
discussed aspects of Education in #UK

Headteachers at schools in Brighton have sparked anger from parents by
cancelling the words 'mum' and 'dad' and replacing them with 'grown ups' - to
avoid discriminating against 'non-traditional' families.
A former Countdown winner has been jailed for 12 years after he told other
paedophiles he would like to abduct and abuse little children. Craig Chittenden,
33, from Willington, County Durham, also persuaded a woman in America to
sexually abuse her daughter, as he watched for his pleasure. .
Three quarters of drivers say they avoid using the leftmost lane on smart
motorways without hard shoulders, which potentially nullifies the claimed biggest
advantage they offer over traditional motorways.
An 'arrogant and entitled' driver who mowed down and killed an 11-year-old
schoolgirl has been jailed for five years.Andrew Cairns, 36, was driving home
from work in August 2020 when he hit Ruby Cropper as she was crossing the
New Road in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester with her friend.
He then drove away from the scene and abandoned his car, before walking to his
home address nearby before calling the police.
.Anti-racism campaigners have criticised new Government guidance on political
impartiality in the classroom as 'disturbing', while teachers' leaders have said it
will stop pupils from engaging with challenging issues in the classroom.
The Government released guidance on Thursday aimed at helping teachers avoid
'promoting contested theories as fact' in England.
It suggests that the teaching of historical figures should focus on 'factual
information' about them, and that teaching of the British empire should be
presented in 'a balanced manner'.
Of all the political disenchantments over the past few decades, Nick Clegg’s
dreary safari from popular centrist (remember the brief, heady days of
Cleggmania?) to Silicon Valley hotshot is one of the most dispiriting.
Is it wrong to feel depressed at news of his promotion at Facebook parent
company Meta, from vice president to president of global affairs?-------
Much fanfare was given to the common man as two weeks of acrimony, secrecy
and bitterness, which were sugar-coated with moments of breath-taking athletic
prowess, ended. China's President XI Jinping, pictured, and his reverential
followers banded together inside the iconic Birds Nest Stadium to parade 365
'ordinary people' to mark the closing of the games. This, they said, was not about
'stars, professional singers, dancers or actors;' but about your average Joe
getting his moment.
Amir Khan has shown off his battle scars after he was destroyed by rival Kell
Brook in their much-anticipated grudge match on Saturday. The long-term rivals
settled their bitter feud in a match that lived up to the hype at Manchester Arena.
Khan was visibly hurt on multiple occasions from the first bell, with the referee
waving off the bout in the sixth round when the former world champion started
taking punishment without reply.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the #PhilFoden visit
to the boxing match to see #EmirKhan and the video depicting
his difficulties at the event. We moved to the young #Swindon
fan offering his favourite player 26p. #EFL clubs were next on
the list where clubs will be deducted points for not paying their
players. #Derby and their progress was discussed and #Lukaku
and his loss of form were then discussed. A snake on a pitch in
Guatamala was our next topic before we commented on
Southampton who have developed injury breaks in their
games. Shocks were probably influenced by weather conditions
for #Watford and #Burnley as we reviewed and predicted....
@DonWoods chats with @VinceTracy about #UK storms #Dudley #Eunice and #Franklin plus #Royal storms with #Andrew and #Charles plus #TomDaley then #WinterOlympics #Curling and the wonderful #Connie Francis
@vincetracy and @robdaniels discussed the return of the
ChampionsLeague and the great performances by #ManCity
and #Liverpool. Next we discussed the unprofessional conduct
displayed by #ManUnited as they swarmed around referee
PeterBankes to make sure that #Brighton went down to 10
men. We discussed the dangers of international travel as
ManCity were diverted to #Liverpool airport and welcomed to
the Capital of English football by #Radio Merseyside. Rob gave
us the happenings of Spain's #LaLiga before we reviewed the
great games in the #PremierLeague where #ManCity were
imperious. Finally, we looked ahead and predicted the games
ahead in the #Premier league.

A retired Spanish doctor who has been campaigning to maintain face-to-face customer
services at banks, presented a petition in Madrid on Tuesday with more than 600,000
signatures to the secretary of state for the treasury, Carlos Cuerpo, at the Economy
Ministry. He also presented his petition to the Bank of Spain.
Carlos San Juan, aged 78 and from the Valencia Region, used the slogan of
‘SoyMayorNOidiota’ (‘I’m old, not an idiot’) for his campaign against the Spanish banks’
growing use of digital services.

PARENTS have blasted a school's decision to go permanently "meat free". Students at Barrowford
Primary School near Nelson, Lancashire, are only offered vegetarian dinners - and kids are also urged
not to bring meat in their packed lunches. The new rule was brought in last year, but a letter informing
parents of the change was only sent out on Thursday.
.Primary school staff on the Isle of Wight warned a six-year-old boy's parents that he may be deemed
'transphobic' if he were to question another pupil wearing a dress. Sally and Nigel Rowe, whose sons
attended a Church of England school, say they received a letter from the headteacher and chair of
governors which declared pupils could be seen as transphobic if they showed 'an inability to believe a
transgender person is actually a ''real'' female or male.'
US-founded Roblox, which allows users to create and play their own games, is popular with young
children between the ages of nine and 12. The existence of rooms built for explicit activity has sparked
concern young children could accidentally stumble into them. Games found by the BBC feature a naked
man wearing just a dog collar and a lead, a man in a Nazi uniform, and a group watching a couple having
sex. Avatars are able to communicate with each other through dialogue boxes, meaning adults with ill-
intent could speak in an inappropriate way with children on the game.
The majority of children aged five and younger are not meeting screen time limits, global analysis
suggests. Only a quarter of children under two, and one in three aged two to five, are meeting
international recommendations, according to the study. Global guidelines suggest infants younger than
two avoid screen time altogether, while children aged two to five should spend no more than an hour a
day in front of one.
A row has broken out between Dame Cressida Dick and Sadiq Khan over the out-going Metropolitan Police
Chief's exit payoff, according to reports. After her dramatic resignation on Thursday, Dame Cressida is in line for
a payout of more than £500,000 on top of a £160,000-a-year gold-plated pension in what has been described as
a 'dreadful reward for failure'.
15th February 2022
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the reporting of an
incident involving the Everton goalkeeper JordonPickford in
Newcastle. The KurtZouma incident with the cat is still bubbling
and we discussed the management of stupidity with a price tag
around 30million for idiotic behaviour. Rangnick is not really
improving ManUnited with the on/field performances and this
begs the question -hy has Ronaldo's son signed for the club?'
Chelsea are now #WorldClub Champions but how valuable is
this title. #JackGrealish has a shin problem so why doesn't he
wear shin pads? #ManCity looked imperious a s they swept
past #Norwich and #Liverpool struggled at #Burnley.

cat happy as he abused it and then a film of the incident on the
social media platforms emerged. We discussed #DelliAli and his

his problem area in his earlier career. We discussed the

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the
AfricaCupofNations and one story in the game between #Mali
and #Tunisia where the referee blew for time five minutes early
because of his personal health issues. He did restart but
needed to blow for time seconds before the end of the game.
We looked at the big spenders in the January transfer window
with #Newcastle and #Everton strengthening their squads and
Liverpool buying a key striker. There was a story about
Brazilian, #RobertoCarlos, playing for a #Shrewsbury pub team.
We are informed #UEFA want #Carloncelotti to renew his
qualification badges! Finally, we predicted #FACup games
On Saturday morning I watched, as usual, Newswatch which gives viewers the
opportunity to criticise the BBC news broadcasts....this week the viewers launched
into the total waste of airtime given to the Government's Christmas parties.....and the
biassed reporting by the Beeb......needless to say there was no-one to comment live
from the news section but as usual they wrote a comment saying they feel they have
got it right....in the many years I have been watching television I have never seen it so
bad....The BBC should print their news on a piece of paper which you could nail up in
an outside toilet where it belongs.
Golf at St.Andrews wont be the same anymore as they have severed their
connection with the golfer formerly known as Prince.....so the Banned old Duke of
York will no longer be including many rounds of golf amongst his royal duties ....oh
how one's life can change in such a short time......so now he's not a golfer...he's a
naughty boy.........normal golf clubs are generally littered with pompous arrogant
toffee nosed members so I dread to think what the St.Andrews committee are like.
We have recently lost a great comedy writer...Barry Cryer....he wrote some fabulous
comedy for many comedians when comedy was actually funny...before humourless
brigade who have no imagination decided to be deeply offended by any thing that
was funny.....probably because they knew their faces would split in half if they ever
smiled
When it comes to making comedy films there are certain geniuses who need a
mention.....firstly we have Mel Brooks and his brilliant Blazing Saddles which cleverly
pokes fun at the ignorance of racist idiots with the black sheriff....then we have The
Producers which poked fun at The Nazis which a lot of people missed the point
of.....but to me the classic of all time was Monty Python's Life of Brian which was
genius.....the Americans totally missed the point calling it anti religious where in fact
it simply illustrated the sheer stupidity of the human race who always need someone
to follow....a classic film....and I enjoyed the historic interview after the film was made
with John Cleese and the arrogant upper class twit Malcolm Muggeridge who
showed what a total prat he was
The record I would like to discuss this week is the Elvis classic...Jailhouse
Rock......the record still holds up today.and considering there are only 4 musicians
backing Elvis it makes this a masterpiece......the temptation to write this song in a
country style must have been hard to resist but whoever came up with the the guitar
work and the drum breaks makes this, for me,one of the best rock and roll records
ever.and also lyrically brilliant.

Sir Keir Starmer was last night under mounting pressure to apologise after being pictured
drinking with colleagues during lockdown. The Labour leader has tried to ride out the
controversy but was forced on to the defensive yesterday as Tory MPs accused him of
hypocrisy.In an uncomfortable TV interview, Sir Keir said there was 'no comparison' between
his drinking and the Prime Minister's attendance at an event in the Downing Street garden.

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the Premier
manager/go/round as #RafaBenitez bit the dust once #Everton
had lost at #Norwich. We looked at the role of the owners who
have spent pots of money but the results have not furthered
their cause. It didn't really help #Benitez when the fans turned
up to protest merely because he had managed #Liverpool. We
discussed the enigmatic #Guardiola who has still to surpass the
number of times #AlexFerguson won manager of the month
during his career. We looked at press announcements that
Ronaldo is earning far more than #Fernandez and discussed
the woes at #Mnnited as #ManCity march on.

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the fixture congestion
caused by too many competitions and events calling on the
resources of the managers. We discussed the #FACup
CarabaoCup #PremierLeague #AfricaCupofNations
WorldCup and the amount of recovery time needed after
heavy training. We looked at the cup upsets with Premier
scalps including #Newcastle and #Burnley and thrilling ties
epitomising the glamour and the glory of the cup. We predicted
the games for the coming week and the implications of the
Carabao Cup semi-finals where #Arsenal #Liverpool #Spurs
and #Chelsea battle for places in the final
The recent news headlines feature Novak Djokovic ... will he or wont he be allowed to
defend his title in the Australian open?....the coverage includes his fans protesting in
the streets as to the announcement by the authorities that he has not complied with
the covid regulations.....and this is HEADLINE news....I am a tennis fan and an
admirer of Novak's talent but IT'S A GAME OF TENNIS....that's all....it belongs in the
sport section at the end of the news....not in the headlines....there's far more
important stuff going on in the world.
Then we are told that energy prices are going to increase by 50% and this will
seriously affect the lower paid....with scaremongering headlines like "Heating or
Eating?"...which really helps the situation....what we don't seem to have been told is
WHY....or have I missed something.....it's a good job you can't buy boxes of energy
from Tescos otherwise you would see our nation of sheep with their supermarket
trollies piled high with these boxes of energy.....I don't suppose it's anything to do with
money?...not much.
Another piece of "news" was regarding the gay Irish bloke who wanted a wedding
cake made for him and his future "husband"...he wanted a cake with the two of them
set in the icing on the top.....the cake shop refused to make it because of their
religious beliefs....so the Irish guy considered he was being discriminated
against.....it gets better....he took the cake shop to court and lost the case ....so he
took it to a tribunal and lost the case again....he is considering taking it to the human
rights lot and hopefully he will lose that case......you couldn't make this up....where the
shop went wrong was mentioning "religious beliefs" they should have just refused to
do it full stop....what people don't understand is a sale is a contract where there has
to be an offer and an acceptance......the offer is made by the buyer not the seller.....if
the latter refuses, which he is entitled to do, there is no contract......putting items on
display is not an offer it is known as an "invitation to treat" which invites the buyer to
make an offer which the seller can either accept or refuse....case closed.
On the entertainment front I decided to watch the new series of The Apprentice with
Lord Sugar making his many over the top entrances into the boardroom to a shower
of young hopefuls ... each one convinced they are the ones to make a fortune.....I
must admit it is quite entertaining....and it's always good to see some over confident
whiz kid get shot down in flames.......his Lordship sets them some nasty tasks and
must be laughing his socks off when he watches it back.....nice to find something that
is worth watching on the television.
I was listening to the radio in my car and a song came on by Leona Lewis....what a
fantastic voice...for me she is the most under rated singer around....she is up there
with the best....which brings me to the other end of the scale.............
This weeks "one of the worst records ever made " spot features, once again,Yoko
Ono......it is called War Zone.....there's not a lot you can say about it really.....it is

@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the drama series
on #ITV called #Anne. This was about the #Hillsborough
tragedy in which 94 #Liverpool fans died in a dreadful surge at
the football stadium. You can easily access the tragic details on
the internet. It's the timing of this drama series which is
interesting. We discussed the current situations concerning
Messi and #Ronaldo where money is like a Monopoly Board in
play. We then moved to the predicament of Philippe Coutinho
who has probably got to move in this transfer window. He
currently has been linked to #AstonVilla #Leicester #Liverpool
Arsenal and #Everton. In passing we mentioned comments in
the press from former England manager #Capello and former
FIFA President #Blatter. Southampton have a new owner and
he is a Serbian millionaire who has said he will not be spending
big in the January transfer window, We then moved to a review
of the #PremierLeague with great games with #Chelsea and
Liverpool and a hugely welcome win for #LeedsUnited.

A pilot scheme is being launched in Bristol this month, GPs in the NHS in scheme
designed to help people suffering from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress 'see the
funny side' of their predicament. The courses are being run by comics including Angie
Belcher, who is described as Comedian-in-Residence at Bristol University. She sounds a
laugh a minute. (Somehow I didn't expect the NHS would be hiring Chubby Brown or Jim
Davidson to teach 'vulnerable' individuals how to tell jokes.)
Preparations to use a secret civilian army of young women to effectively go on suicide
missions to kill and disrupt the invading Nazis until their eventual capture or death have
emerged for the first time. The army, many of them young girls, was established in case
Hitler's forces ever invaded Britain and included training to make Molotov cocktails, derail
trains and even in unarmed combat and self-defence.

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the current form of
ManchesterUnited and whether there's a lot more going on at
the club than we realise. We looked at #MarcusRashford as an
example of a good lad not playing to his potential and possibly
side/-tracked by off/field activities. We looked at the trial of
'standing' at #Chelsea during their thrilling draw with #Liverpool.
We discussed the #JanuaryTransferWindow and the drama
Anne about the 1989 tragedy at #Hillsborough. #Var was
under scrutiny as there were several moments to recap none
more important than in the #Arsenal v #ManCity game. Then
there are CarabaoCup semi/finals ahead.
First off...happy new year....I thought I might have to call you "Sir" Vince but I noticed
you never made the Queen's honours list.....so you can't join Knights of the Realm
like Sir Cliff...Sir Ringo...Sir Van Morrison....or Sir Tony Blair and even more hard to
believe Sir Ashley Banjo ....maybe next year....I would suggest you latch on to an act
which will definitely end up being knighted.....Ant,Dec and Vince?
The TV over New Year was abysmal....fortunately I am able to store programmes so I
can watch stuff which is actually of interest...which doesn't include Soaps...reality
TV...constant repeats of rubbish like Mrs Brown's Boys or boring cookery
programmes which, to me, are about as interesting as the Scottish football results or
indeed The Ashes....thank goodness for Bargain Hunt which I do enjoy and
documentaries on stars I have admired over the years..e.g. Dean Martin....Freddy
Mercury...ABBA...Bing Crosby etc....when everyone is complaining about the tripe
that is on the telly you would think someone in office would listen....but as they keep
saying "we think we've got it right"...so that's O.K. then......there is a satellite channel
called "Challenge"....on New Years day they had 10 hours of The Chase.....10
HOURS of Bradley Walsh!!....he's GOT to be up for a knighthood.....even if it's just for
the world record appearances on TV.
One good thing about it all is I no longer go out with my band on New Years Eve to
entertain the masses....since leaving school I played 50 consecutive New Years Eve
gigs....which were always the best paid gigs of the year but required the most effort
facing three or four hundred people who have paid through the nose and expected a
good night....no pressure then......I still get asked to do new years eve gigs.....but
prefer an early night.
I'm still wondering why England thinks it is different from Wales,Ireland and
Scotland....the latter three carrying out sensible precautions in an attempt to curb the
spread of the virus.....and we have asked the folk of the three countries not to come
over the border....as if!!....the Scots and the Welsh came in in coach loads....surprise
surprise......oh yes we must save businesses from losing money....I wonder how
many politicians are connected to these businesses.......so we will see another spike
in infections...and so it goes.
I watched a programme all about Jack Charlton and his success with the Irish football
team....it was a great programme made more interesting by the fact that I met Jack
back in the early 70s when we were on holiday in Palma...we were staying in an
apartment block and Jack and his family were next door....we all went out for meals
and drinks and we became good mates...he was a great bloke....and his wife was a
delight.....the programme went through his life where he eventually got dementure
and sadly died 18 months ago....a great man and a privilege to have known.
For the "one of the worst records ever made" spot this week I have nominated the
destruction of the song "My Way" by The Sex Pistols......it is over 4 minutes long so I
suggest fading it out after one minute if you can stand it for that long.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the latest
situation in the Coronavirus affairs of Spain and Spanish
soccer. Masks are back in circulation and football stadium
entrants are limited to 75%. We discussed the worrying
situation where many young footballers are incurring heart
problems. There would appear to be a dichotomy between the
conspiracy theorists and others, better informed, who feel there
might be a problem with over-training for the high pressing
game. We discussed the problems of #Xavi at #Barcelona and
elaborated the point that cash-strapped Barcelona have just
signed a #ManCity player for big money. There have been no
real talking points in #LaLiga as there have been no games as
Rob gave us his update. We reviewed some very interesting
games in the #PremierLeague where a rampant #ManCity have
no opened up an 8 point lead at the top of the table with
Chelsea now second and #Liverpool a point behind at third.
Keep an eye on #Arsenal and don't discount #Brighton and
Leicester.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the current outbreak
of COVID cases spoiling the Boxing Day Fixtures and find it
difficult to uncerstand how events are changing so rapidly. We
looked at the referee spat involving #JurgenKlopp and looked
at current numbers being published. We discussed the use of
the five substitutes and whether this gives richer clubs too
much of an advantage.We moved to the involvement in players'
wives in political marches and whether they are not allowed to
make their own decisions. There have been less games but
ManCity march on with their imperious brand of football. We
commented on the qualities of #Arsenal.
First off I hope you had a merry Christmas....or should I say a merry Holiday....we must be
politically correct in case we offend the dimwits who come up with these ideas....if this drivel
had any effect...which it doesn't....Slade will have to remake their Christmas song.....so here
it is Merry Holiday....doesn't quite have the same ring somehow.....and old Bing could be in
serious trouble with the word "White" in his wonderful song....
I enjoyed the link you sent me with the Jet Harris interview.....I didn't know he was the first to
use a Fender electric bass guitar....good stuff...I met Jet when I was working on Radio
Merseyside....and we had a few pints in the local ....before he went tee total....and chatted
about his adventures with The Shadows and I got some interesting inside info... he really
was a nice fella and like most of those who have been there he was very humble.....a sad
loss.
I watched a programme on ABBA....it's hard to believe how good they were....I can't
remember them making a bad record....and they made most of them in several
languages....and I also watched the 2017 E.L.O. concert in Wembley arena.....mind
blowing.....I know you are a big Beatles fan mate....you can have 'em......no
comparison......and needless to say we have none stop Christmas records on various
channels on the telly....I can't REALLY complain because back in the day I wrote a
Christmas musical for Radio City which contained six Christmas songs....I wrote the script
and all the songs and it was broadcast on Christmas Day.......the two members of the station
involved changed the names of the two main characters which they felt gave them the right
to regard themselves as the writers.....but that's another story..
recently came across a magazine article about my chance meeting with wrestler Adrian
Street which led to me writing and producing two albums of wrestling songs for him.....which
involved me going to The States and appearing on TV with him....we became great friends
and are still in touch.....the albums have recently been re-released by an American company
and can be downloaded from the internet....the songs keep coming back to haunt me...with
titles like "Violence is Golden"..."Merchant of Menace" and "I'm In Love With Me"...it is hardly
surprising.....I could write a book on my adventures we had in Florida but no-one would
believe it.
So this week I would like to feature a song which I was told by a major label that the world
would never be ready for....they were NOT impressed......it was one I composed for Adrian
Street which he used to enter the ring to.....it ended up in a movie called "Grunt-The
Wrestling Movie" and also on MTV in the States.....so the song which the world would never
be ready for paid off my mortgage......it is entitled "Imagine What I Could Do To You"
With the advancement of new technologies, the appearance of mobile applications that
allow listening to music, even without an internet connection, has proliferated. This has
resulted in drivers using their mobiles to listen to music while driving.
Although the law applies to all sectors, it is thought that the tech industry will particularly
benefit from the legislation and attract a talented international workforce that is needed to
support the ambitious development of the digital sector.
The government has highlighted digitalisation as a key part of its recovery plans, with
significant investment of its EU recovery funds allocated to allow companies to grow and
attract start-ups to be based in Spain.
Villajoyosa residents recently received cards that identified them as registered carers for
the town’s feral colonies, together with high-viz waistcoats to wear when tending to the
cats and feeding them. The town hall’s Animal Welfare department also announced that
160 stray cats have been sterilised this year.
Terrace tax BENITACHELL councillors voted to suspend the municipal tax that local bars
and restaurants usually pay the town hall for occupying public property and rights of way
in 2022. This will be the third year that the municipality foregoes this tax to alleviate the
effects of the Covid pandemic.
Budget lag BENIDORM town hall has yet to present its 2022 Budget, making it one of
Alicante province’s tardiest. Next year’s income will be 5 per cent lower than 2021, owing
to the elimination of capital gains tax and reduced income from terrace dues and other
rebates on local taxes.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the latest
situation in the Coronavirus affairs of Spanish soccer. We
looked at the #CarabaoCup where #Arsenal will now play
Liverpool after Arsenal thumped #Sunderland 5-1 and
Liverpool came through on penalties against #Leicester. In the
other games #Spurs overcame~#WestHam to meet #Chelsea
who scraped home against #Brentford. We also looked at the
selling of cryptoassets to football fans and discussed an
incident that had happened in Arsenal's ground. We noted an
incident between #Sevilla and #Barcelona and a french player
called #JulesKounde. We also reviewed a tax rebate story
where Barcelons star #GerardPiquet will have a tax fine
anulled. The whole story goes back before #Brexit and had
become quite complicated. We didn't have a lot to review but
bemoaned the fact that #Leeds are leaking goals at the
moment and #ManCity are scoring for fun. We also discussed

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the difficult decisions
being made during the pandemic and whether money is
paramount rather than what we see in the newspapers.
Comments have been made regarding the vaccinations and we
discussed whether #PiersMorgan is helping the situation with
his tweets. #JurgenKlopp has had a running battle with #referee
PaulTierney and #VAR is not helping the situation with
controversial decisions being compared between #HarryKane
and #AndyRoberetson. We had very few games to reflect upon
although Eric expressed his concerns over the training methods
at #Leeds. We made our #PremierLeague predictions.
@TerryWhitehead tells us about a lesser known and lesser discussed problem that affects up to 10% of the world population
SPAIN must urgently change its rules on how much British pensioners need to earn to live
there or its economy will suffer badly, a leading ex-pat said to The Express. Speaking
from the Expat Centre in Costa Blanca South, Moira Carmenate said she was “surprised”
that Spain hadn’t dropped its requirement for pensioners to prove an annual earning of
more than £21,000 (€24,697).
Malta has become the first European Union country to legalise cannabis at home and for
personal use. MPs approved a legal reform on Tuesday, allowing citizens to grow and
possess limited amounts of marijuana. Under the new law, citizens aged 18 and over
will be allowed to possess up to seven grams of cannabis, and cultivate up to four
cannabis plants at home.
Grey amber or whale poo is worth more than its weight in gold, the 1.7 kilogram chunk
being worth an estimated €80,000....... Spanish law prohibits the marketing of grey amber,
who have sent it to a laboratory for authentication. ..... Secreted by sperm whales when
they suffer digestive problems, grey amber is highly prized as a perfume fixative.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the sad demise of
the brilliant footballer Kun Aguero who had recently moved from
Manchester City to Barcelona. He developed a heart problem
and his medical advisers have told him he must stop playing
professional football. We then discussed the number of
professional sports players who have suffered problems in
recent weeks and months. We discussed the fallout in the
Spanish media after the UEFA Champions League draw and
how there is a feeling that it's been a bit of pay back for Real
Madrid and its involvement in the breakaway idea doing the
rounds last year. We compared the Covid outbreak in the
Premier League with the situation in La Liga. Rob gave his La
Liga roundup and then illustrated how well local teams are
doing and highlighted the upsurge in the fortunes of La Nucia
who are heading towards La Liga. This is my old town and
Rob's local team is also doing well, Sadly, we needed to discuss
the brilliant display by ManCity who beat #Leeds 7-0. Finally,
with Covid postponments in mind we predicted the week ahead.
I alerted the wider world to Omicron - and I believe Britain is overreacting': Doctor Angelique Coetzee,
the South African GP who knows more about its effects than anyone, calls for calm despite variant cases
spiking 50 per cent in 24 hours I have no regrets about doing so, but I was astonished by the
extraordinary worldwide reaction in the days that followed, with Britain and some other European nations
imposing heavy travel restrictions on flights from across southern Africa, as well as imposing tighter rules
at home on mask-wearing, fines and extended quarantines.
Police said an estimated 44,000 people attended the demonstration , the latest in a string of huge
weekend protests since Austria last month became the first EU country to say it would make Covid
vaccinations mandatory.
Pubs have lost 'all their Christmas bookings virtually overnight', hospitality bosses said today - as fears
over the Covid variant and mixed messaging from ministers ravage an already stricken industry.
Bosses said government warnings about the threat of Omicron and new working from home guidance
had persuaded many punters that it wasn't worth going ahead with their festive gatherings.
Dozens of killers, rapists and paedophiles released from prison have been given second life sentences
for further offences. Over the past decade 129 criminals who were jailed for life have been handed the
same sentence again.
A second female swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania has spoken out to air her frustrations and
fury as her transgender teammate Lia Thomas continues to smash records. The entire team has been
'strongly advised' not to speak to the media and the second swimmer has been granted anonymity.
It bestows on all UK universities a legal duty to actively promote free speech. But does Durham actually
adhere to its own lofty standards?
Four years after the fall of Harvey Weinstein fired up the #MeToo movement, few areas of public life
haven't faced a reckoning over predatory male behaviour. So why has rock music remained untouched?
That question could most appropriately be asked of English rock band Led Zeppelin, who were
'monsters of rock' in every way.
Owning a car could become a fad of the past, a government minister claimed this week. Junior transport
minister Trudy Harrison, 45, told a sustainability conference owning a car was outdated '20th-century
thinking' and the country should move to 'shared mobility' to cut carbon emissions.
Overweight inmates are fuelling a surge in demand for supersize clothes in prisons, according to
government data. Prison bosses have ordered thousands of overalls in sizes up to 8XL, figures from
the Ministry of Justice have shown.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the use rather
strange shenanigans at the #UEFA draw for the next round of
the #ChampionsLeague. Eric explained how the whole
competition is contrived and it's all about the money. We then
needed to discuss the extraordinary number of professional
footballers who have now tested positive for Covid in the
PremierLeague.On my screen flashed a warning that the
season could be suspended. We looked at #Var and the
number of penalties which have been awarded in the
PremierLeague at the weekend. We reviewed the weekend's
games and then tried to predict the games to come!

@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the manipulation
of people at football matches where a tribute was paid to a
young lad called Arthur who had died at the hands of his
merciless parents. Nobody would begrudge this tribute to Arthur
but articles in the newspapers have suggested that a moment's
silence would have been far more appropriate in a football
world now dominated by political gestures such as taking the
knee and wearing rainbow bootlaces. We looked at the world of
ladies soccer especially in Spain and then looked at comments
made by Jude Bellingham who plays for Borussia Dortmund. His
comments about a referee has incurred a 40.000 euro fine. His
comments were about a dodgy referee who had been found
guilty of this offence in 2005. The same referee had made
contentious decisions in a game in which Bellingham had
played. Rob looked at #LaLiga before we moved to revieiwing
the previous week's games in the #PremierLeague and
predicting the week ahead.

Families have told of their 'disgust' after trespassers urinated and vomited on the memorial garden for
the victims killed in the Manchester Arena terror attack before its official opening.
Finland has seen some of the lowest rates of Covid-19 in Europe, with just 1,277 cases recorded on Saturday compared to a staggering 56,739

After severe UK weather in the north of England many are frustrated at the lack of government intervention, including James Cosslett, a local councillor for Durham County Council, who said: 'I'm a Tory, but I've got to be honest with you, if this happened in
London, can you imagine, or in the southeast, everything would have got thrown at it,' he told The Times.
Unearthed documents revealed the BBC's pension fund has undisclosed interests in six Chinese firms.

@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the life of times of
Liverpool and Arsenal legend #RayKennedy who died recently
at the age of 70. #England ladies thrashed #Latvia 20-0 and a
lot of people are now saying these games that humiliate the
minnows are not making any sense. This year's #BalonD'OR
has controversially been awarded to #LionelMessi. The French
will always have wanted a #PSG player to have won the award
although this strange group of 180 journalists are asked to
judge the winner by 3 criteria including the nominee's career
and how he/she conducts him/her self professionaly. Many
pundits seem to think #MoSalahs current form should have
gained him this prestigious award. We looked at the mid-week
games in the #PremierLeague and Rob gave us his #LaLiga
roundup. We had a lot of games to review and a better idea of
how to view the games which are being played this weekend.
The fashion world is now seeing its very own Succession moment play out in real life. mirroring the

'heavily lobbied' not to change the regulations amid a row over a ban handed to Labour backbencher
Stella Creasy this week.
**The real danger for most of us now comes not from Omicron or any other coronavirus
variant. Instead, it comes from ministers and officials apparently flirting with taking us into
yet another era of ruinous restrictions, cancelling Christmas or other cherished holidays,
dashing all hope of foreign travel, wrecking the economy and otherwise immiserating our
lives at the whim of the state.****Today, nearly 400 years after Barbados was claimed for her ancestor King James I by an

@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the appointment of
Ralph #Rangnick to become the interim coach at
ManchesterUnited. This will take United into a different style of
play and has vindicated the thoughts of #GaryNeville who
hinted at the need for a culture change. We discussed his
affect on both #Tuchel at #Chelsea and #Klopp at #Liverpool
and made the comparison with #Guardiola at #ManCity. We
looked at the new #Fifa trial for offside and the initiative with
Uefa to educate players, medics and coaches in this area.he
reviews of the #Premier games were interesting as are the
predictions for the midweek and weekend games.

Edward Snowden, one of the world’s most wanted fugitives, has warned us of what is to come. And it’ s already here. This Reuters storey confirms that Amazon is spying on us in such detail that there is no longer any privacy in any aspect of our lives.
Ibraheem Samirah, a Virginia lawmaker, has spent a lot of time studying internet privacy issues and openly discussed how to regulate tech firms’ collection of personal data. Nonetheless, he was taken aback when he learned the full extent of the data Amazon.com had on him.
Spain will auction off concessions to build 6,000MW of renewable energy capacity as part of this plan, with an additional €1,5bn set aside for hydrogen projects, (this amount will probably go to the chemical complex in Tarragona) .

conspiracy against a fellow French player. This is neither good
news for football nor for #RealMadrid. Next, #MancherUnited
,anaged a 2-0 win in the #ChampionsLeague while #Chelsea
steamrolled their visitors #Juventue 4-0. We developed a
Manchester United theme whereby #GaryNeville has written
about the need for cultural changes at the club. He points out
that after Sir Alec there has been a mumber of high profile
appointments and redundancies including Louis Van Gaal and
Jose Mourinho. The players are now telling us what a nice guy
Solskjaer is and he had a glowing tribute paid to him by
Cristiano Ronaldo. Rob gave us the lowdown of #LaLiga results
and we moved to discussing the previous weekend's results in
the #PremierLeague. Finally, we predicted the outcomes for the
next round of matches.
@eric malpus joins @vincetracy to discuss #ManUnited #Soskjaer #England #GarethSouthgate #RonFlowers #Derby #SergioAguero and the #PremierLeague
First we looked at items in the news including #cricket #HS2 #golf #Adele #Antand Dec
On the music scene Adele has been on TV pushing her latest album.....she is very
popular but I'm afraid I don't get her....her latest release is a durge.....just my
opinion....while I'm still allowed to have one........and I watched a documentary on The
Beach Boys....back in the sixties I was a huge fan of the band with their great
harmonies and surfing songs but I thought they totally lost their way when they brought
out the Pet Sounds album which I bought and hated....this documentary did nothing to
change my mind...they should have stuck to songs about the beach which is what
they were designed for.
Finally for my "one of the worst records ever" spot I would like to feature one of our
60's pop stars...Vince Eager.....the song is called "The World's Lonliest Man" and I'm
not sure what the drummer was hitting the drums with....I dread to think......with
Vince's quivery voice, which is occasionally in tune,.... I can't find anything positive to
say about this record which is probably why he is in fact The World's Loneliest Man .
Hydrogen vehicles will be on the road sooner than expected. Technology giant Bosch
recently announced a €1 billion investment in new technology, with the clear goal of
putting hydrogen lorries on European highways in the near future.
As the world has spent the last two weeks watching COP26 discuss the future of power,
technology giant Bosch has identified hydrogen as a huge new trend. According to its
research, the European Union market for green hydrogen will be worth more than €40
billion by 2030, with annual growth rates of 65 percent.
As of December 1, the Valencia City Council will fine unregistered vehicles that enter

A bomb squad has tonight carried out a controlled explosion near a house in Liverpool raided in
connection to a suicide bombing outside a hospital on Remembrance Sunday. It is understood the
explosion in Sefton Park was done 'as part of the ongoing investigation into the terrorist incident'
outside the Liverpool Women's Hospital yesterday just before 11am, and that residents 'shouldn't be
concerned'.
Lucy Dyer , 23, was behind the wheel of a BMW when she smashed into a family car with baby Eva

As we have just had remembrance day where our fallen soldiers are remembered I
thought I would give a mention to the National Remembrance Arboretum in
Staffordshire....which I have visited twice.....it is the ultimate tribute to the heroic men
and women who have given their lives for their country and is deeply moving....it's
hard to take in the numbers of names in the rows and rows of tributes around the
huge area of the park......such a terrible waste of young lives and the grief resulting
from this is unimaginable.
Right let's go.....the cricket fraternity is still under fire for racial remarks in the past to
those poor hard done to overpaid professional cricketers who obviously don't like
being called names....so let's have a reality check....cricket is BORING....probably
the most boring of all sports and I would think very few people give a monkeys
whether some wimp has been upset because he didn't like something someone
said....are they incapable of answering back?....GET OVER
YOURSELVES.....this,together with the recent hammering by New Zealand.has only
damaged what's left of any interest in the game as far as I am concerned.
Still on the sporting theme olympic champion Adam Peaty was interviewed on the
news and what a great example to young sportsmen....are you listening you
whingers?.....he is such a nice chap with great charisma....I am a fan.....and I bet he
wouldn't be upset if anyone called him names....mind you that would be an error
looking at the size of him.........great lad.
I also watched the women's rugby and I actually enjoyed it.....the pace of the game
makes it easier to understand the rules for those who don't know them.....what made
me laugh was at the end of the game the England girls didn't have a mark on their
white shirts and shorts.....unlike the blokes who come off covered in mud and
blood.....
As if TV programmes aren't bad enough with the return of the dreadful Blankety
Blank with Bradley Walsh going for the world record of appearances on virtually
every TV programme......we have the upcoming "I'm a celebrity get me out of here"
where the viewer is subjected to a collection of so called celebrities, who have had
their day, all sitting around a camp fire and doing stupid pointless "challenges" like
eating spiders.....and to add to the tripe we have Ant and Dec involved.....not sure
why......I fail to see the point of it all especially when they all get on with each
other.....the viewer wants to see arguments and fall outs whether they know it or
not......definitely worth giving it a miss.....at least the money they get doesn't come out
of my licence fee.
There is a young chap who presents the weather forecast on the BBC....his name is
Owain Evans.....he is Welsh and a total delight with his selection of colourful
suits......he is impossible to watch without smiling......what I didn't know was he is a
drummer and he has just completed a 24 hour drum session in aid of Children In
Need......and raised 1.6 million pounds for the charity....I have to salute this fella....he
is an absolute star.
On the political front the Save The Planet Show in Scotland has come to and
end.....that's about all I can say because I still don't know what it was all about.....so
that is my input.....thank you.
Now it's time for my one of the worst records ever made spot......this one is very bad
and is beyond description which is very strange because it is by one of biggest stars
.....David Bowie.....this was the first record he made before creating his many
images such as a spider from Mars etc.......the song is called "The Laughing
Gnome"......unbelievably by David Bowie.

Police are hunting thieves who stole more than 40 exclusive bottles of wine from a famous Spanish
restaurant hotel including one worth an estimated £262,000. The Chateau d'Yquem 1806, bought by the
owners in an auction more than 20 years ago at Christie's London, was the most valuable of the wines
taken.
A man in Murcia was shocked to receive his monthly telephone bill showing a total of €19,500. The bill
was eventually cancelled by the telephone company after a consumer organisation got involved in the
dispute.
The first fine for charging tenants a rent price above the limit set out by Catalan law has been handed out
in Barcelona. Esteve and two other colleagues rented an apartment in Barcelona last December,
paying €1,200 per month. That is until they discovered, with the help of the Sindicat de Llogateres
(Tenant Union), that the price was €250 higher than the Catalan income containment law allows.
A research group from the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Centre (CBMSO) has revealed the results
of a study they conducted. It was published in the specialist publication, Cell Reports. This joint study by
the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), has
shown the therapeutic potential of a mouse parvovirus to infect and destroy human glioblastoma stem
cells.
Pilar Mateo, a Spanish researcher from the University of Valencia, with a PhD in Chemistry, has come
up with a very effective form of prevention to control and eliminate insects – insecticidal paint!
Throughout the world, mainly in tropical and equatorial regions, insect-borne diseases are a very serious
problem. They cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people every year, and at this time, there are no
effective vaccines or treatments for most of them.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has prompted many people to be more concerned about their health
and diet. 86 per cent of Spaniards have admitted to this. Spaniards are far more concerned about their
diet since the pandemic began than Germans, the British, the French and other nationalities.
A staggering 63 per cent of Spaniards are aiming to “eat healthier” than they did before the pandemic
began.
Return of the handshake. The handshake is set to return after being “banned” early on in the coronavirus

@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the health of
iSirGeofHurst and the funeral of #WalterSmith before looking
at the antics of #Simeone and #AtleticodeMadrid as #Liverpool
looked impressive in gliding into the last 16 draw. #Suarez
didn't turn up to spoil the party. #ManchesterCity and #Chelsea
both progressed comfortably while #ManUnited relied heavily
on #CristianoRonaldo for their point with #Atalanta. Black
football managers are not seen in the Premiership and we
looked at the life and times of Tony Collins and other black
players including #JackLeslie who was called up to play for
England and the there is speculation as to why he didn't ever
represent his country. We spent a little time looking at the
bonus money row which now is under scrutiny. Rob gave us his
LaLiga roundup and finally we reviewed the games of the past
week's Premiership and looked f¡ahead to the coming games.

from #SkyTV. We had a quick peep at the American actors
buying #TheRacecourse home of #Wrexham and the behaviour
of fans causing problems for #WilfredZaha and the lack of

talked about UKs first black manager Tony Collins and the

the week's results and #Chelsea are looking really good whilst
Liverpool and #ManCity slipped up at the hands of #Brighton
and #CrystalPalace. We then predicted the week ahead.
....first it's a rant at the latest news then.....Another joke is a programme called "Newswatch"
which is on our wonderful BBC....it invites viewers to air their complaints about the way
BBC news is presented which is
"explained" by various representatives of the Beeb who basically say that they think
they are fine with the way they present the news....so that's O.K. then......this week the
lack of young viewers was discussed and they had a woman on explaining how they
were going to solve this problem.....I listened to her garbling away for 5 minutes and I
can honestly say I didn't have a clue what she was going on about.....the BBC have
always been way behind the rest so nothing changed there then
I recently watched a programme about The Goon Show.....it was an acted out version
of the last radio broadcast of the said show with Peter Sellers,Harry Secombe and
Spike Milligan.....it was quite interesting as I never got The Goons.....everyone in
school thought they were hilarious...even my dad was a big fan....but I never found
them even slightly funny....I always found Spike Milligan uncomfortable to watch.....but
I am obviously in the minority as the audience on this programme were in
stitches....including Princess Anne.....but I couldn't even raise a grin......personally I
like clever stupidity like Monty Python.....just sayin'......
Which brings me to the one of the worst records section.....we have already played
this chap on a previous podcast but I think he deserves another chance to sing
another song.......it is Charlie Drake again with another 7 inch single which required
an 8 inch hole drilling in it....it is a musical version of his catch phrase and is
dreadful.....it is called Hello My Darlings

Don's rant at the news followed by....
I have been watching a programme called "when showbiz good horribly wrong"
which demonstrated how easy it is to NOT make money........to actually make money
in the music business you have to think things out or you will get ripped off by
managers and publishers who have no musical talent.....the way I did it was to look
for the gaps in the market....in the 60s all the groups were playing rock and roll and
pop music....only 7 or 8 piece dance bands were playing strict tempo....so in the mid
60s my band perfected quicksteps,slow foxes, waltzes etc and as we could also play
pop and rock we covered all bases and when the group scene ground to a halt in the
70s we played on as a function band....and during the 70s I started writing songs and
sending them out top publishers with little success but it was when I sent one to the
Opportunity Knocks Songwriters Contest and appeared on the show that I knew I
was on the right track so I set up my own record and publishing company and
released my own stuff which took off....as the only opinion that mattered about my
songs was mine......
I built a small recording studio in my attic and created a demo service (another gap
in the market) whereby songwriters would send me their rough songs and I would put
them into a state which they could present to publishers etc,,,,I ended up doing 200
of these demos which paid for my studio.....I joined the Songwriters Guild and
advertised in their magazine which is where I got all my customers....and again there
was very little competition.......to me it has always been business...I was not remotely
interested in feeding my ego or being "famous" .....fame can cost as history has
proved...........the demo service was fascinating and I received some very strange
stuff from people singing in the bath to songs which had lyrics which neither scanned
or rhymed.....however one of my demos was sent by the composer, to the
International Religious Song Festival in Rome....I was asked to go and sing the song
but was too busy at the time so I sent my good pal Paul Damian to go and sing it
which he did and met the Pope....and another lady sent me her song about
Italy...which I put together and told her to send it to the Italian Tourist Board and take
whatever they offered...the Board liked the song and offered her £450.....she was
also a member of The Songwriters Guild and asked me if she should ask their
advice...I told her to just take the money but she contacts The Guild who go over the
top with contracts etc and she got nothing....she should have listened to Don.
What were the worst two winters in the 60s?.....Mike and Bernie........which brings me
to my "One of the worst records ever" spot......again this is an example of
comedians....if you could call them that....sticking to what they do best and leaving
making records to singers.....this one is called "I Like It" and must NOT be confused
with Gerry Marsden's classic number one hit in the 60s.......it is basically an
instrumental with short breaks where the title was shouted out....they are the ONLY
lyrics.....now I don't know if Mike Winters was actually playing his clarinet in the band (
who are very good)......but Bernie definitely should have been forcibly removed from
the recording studio......so here it is.....Mike and Bernie Winters "singing" "I Like It"

Vince Tracy and Neil Colbourne discuss the practical implications of green issues in the UK after news from Poland.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the FA# meeting
banning football sponsors linked to the #owners of the bigger
clubs. We discussed the problems incurred by #TV rights to
games and players required for International duties. before
discussing the medical emergency at the #Newcastle #Spurs
game and the duress of manager #SteveBruce as Newcastle
get sorted| We discussed the #England fine after the #Euro
final and the various aspects of how the #Press seem to look to
promote trouble in their quest to sell their papers. We
discussed the many good games over the weekend before
looking to the week ahead with European games involved.
Don has a rant at items in the news for the first part of the podcast......
On the music scene Paul McCartney has announced it wasn't him who broke up The
Beatles...it was John Lennon....and I am struggling to find a reason to give a
toss.....although I was never a big fan of the band they must get credit for opening the
door for guitar bands to go out and do gigs in the 60s....and also for bringing tourists
into Liverpool...a fact not always appreciated by the council....however,Paul has
shouldered the blame for the split for decades....not quite sure why he left it until now
if it was bothering him.
Joan Collins was on the morning news advertising something and she looked
terrific....I have always liked her because she talks sense and seems very
genuine...what is hard to believe is she is 88 years old.....and another celeb who
talks sense is footballer John Barnes...he was on another news programme giving
his take on racism and he was spot on....very interesting.
I have a cousin who I haven't seen since I was a kid....I saw his name in a local art
exhibition and decided to check whether it was him......I didn't know he was an artist
but I did know he was a world class chess champion....I got in touch and we met
up....he told me about his paintings and his chess matches with Russian masters
....fascinating stuff...he is now 82 and plays chess for the England Seniors....a great
guy with some wonderful tales to tell.....his name is Brian Ewart.
O.K. folks it's time for the weekly worst record ever made section.....to say this song
would never survive in today's political correct world is an understatement.....but even
back then it was pretty unbearable....yep it's by comedian Charlie Drake who tells us
that his boomerang wont come back....with classic lines like "I'm a big disgrace...to
the Aborigine race...my boomerang wont come back" has to make it one of the worst
records ever.....so here it is "My Boomerang Wont Come Back"
Counter terrorism officers are tonight leading the investigation into the
murder of Tory MP Sir David Amess, as forces across the country are being
urged to launch an 'immediate review' of security for politicians.
News from Norway as a bow-and-arrow attacker who killed five people in
Norway was a Muslim convert who was known to police for radicalisation,
officers have said, as they revealed he escaped arrest before going on to kill
five people.
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of the Socialist Party (PSOE), who
heads a leftist coalition, was booed by members of the public as he arrived at
Castellana boulevard in Madrid on Tuesday morning, Spain's Natopnal Day.
The jeers continued during the military parade, with the public yelling “get
out” and “resign, Sánchez.” In Spain, October 12 also marks a relevant
religious festivity, the day of la Virgen del Pilar (Our Lady of the Pillar), a
representation of the Virgin Mary that is considered the patron saint of the
Spanish city of Zaragoza.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the ramifications
of the #Saudi takeover of #NewcastleUnited and whether the
money should be the only factor for these decisions. Obviously,
money will be put into the team with its great history. We
discussed #JohnBarnes and his views on #Racism as outlined
in his new book and his article in #TheGuardian. We wished we
had enough time to discuss the gambling issues now being
offered by the new generation of games. The football has been
very interesting with #VAR becoming contentious once again in
the final of the #Nations League where #France seemed to be
awarded a controversial winner against #Spain. Rob outlined
the #LaLiga games ahead and we finished by identifying our
thoughts for the coming #Premiership games. #Liverpool will
have a torrid time with #Jota being their latest casualty and the
Brazilian trio of #Allison #Firmino and #Fabino
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the takeover at
Newcastle United and looked at some of the ramifications of this
deal. There are voices of disapproval in the Guardian and
Steve Bruce is now awaiting his dismissal. There some dodgy
aspects to the deal. Meanwhile, John Barnes has written a very
intelligent and well thought out article on racism in the game
and racism in general. There's concern over a game which can
be seen to encourage gambling which we discussed befor
moving to the money-making aspect of the Bation's League
final and a controversial VAR decision which went against Spain
in favour of France. We predicted the Premiership games
ahead.
First we have a look at what Don's seen in the news.........
On a lighter note I was never a fan of Frank Sinatra....I know he was admired and
idolised by many...but he was never for me...I found his voice very "dry" as opposed
to Bing and Pat Boone for example....and in later years old Frank always seemed to
be singing about himself...e.g.....I did it MY way....I have been a rover - I have walked
alone....start spreading the news I"M leaving today....personally I couldn't care less
what Frank was doing and he wasn't always in tune....only my opinion ....and Rod
Stewart has a new single out which he obviously wrote himself....it is about him
splitting with his girlfriend to go off and play in his country band with lines like..."it was
great while it lasted...and the two of us smashed it".....I do like good thought out
lyrics...these sadly not falling into that category.
The contestant for worst record ever goes this week to a 7 inch single which should
have had and 8 inch hole drilled in it....it is by one of those late 50s early 60s pretty
boy pop stars who sadly couldn't sing....namely Jess Conrad....back then when we
were all engulfed in rock and rock this song was an insult...so I give you Jess Conrad
singing "Cherry Pie"
Vince Tracy, Neil Colbourne and Terry Whitehead discussing..........Jake Sullivan, US national security adviser, has warned Russia not to use
Europe's gas crisis as a 'political weapon' after Vladimir Putin was accused of choking supplies to gain leverage in talks over a major new
supply pipeline.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the young #Spain
team and their success in reaching the final of the nations cup.
Barcelona are in freefall with their own management telling us
they would be filing for bankruptcy if Barcelona was a business.
However, Rob explains why the club is run differently to others.
A referee has been attacked during a match in #Brazil and we
looked at this incident before moving to #NewcastleUnited and
their takeover bid. #PepGuardiola is mentioned in the
PandoraPapers for his account in #Andorra where #England
play their next game. We discussed the leniency of the
judgement for #Racism expressed against three #England
players after the #Euro 2020 championship. We looked at
AndresTownsend's tribute to his hero #Ronaldo at
ManUnited where he scored for #Everton. Rob gave us his
LaLiga roundup and we finished with our #Premier review.
6th October 2021@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the roundabout of
football management as #Watford sack their manager despite
the fact that he brought the team up from the #Championship
and is not in the drop zone. #Ronaldo seems to have been
upset with his manager at #Manchester United whilst
Barcelona seem to be in freefall in #LaLiga. #DavidBeckham
appears in the news as we progressed to a wonderful gesture
from the #Fulham players The ladies deserve a mention as
they have provided great matches in their Super League. We
looked at the intriguing and excellent matches in the Premier
League
O.K.....it's time for my choice of one of the worst records ever....it is from the past and
is probably forgotten by most people but there are some songs which are so bad
they are difficult to get out of your mind...the culprit is country singer Roger Miller and
the song is called "England Swings" and is a description of England...or
London...through the eyes of an American who has obviously never been
here....fortunately the song is less that 2 minutes long.....it is one of those 8 inch 45
singles which should have had a 9 inch hole drilled in it.
The petrol crisis is still in full swing but we have been told things should be better
soon as the army will be brought in to solve the shortage of HGV drivers who deliver
the fuel....the responsibility for the panic buying lies purely with the media in my
opinion....in their frantic search for negative news they tell people NOT to "panic buy"
knowing full well the majority will do just that....I was approaching a local roundabout
in my car last week and pulled up behind a line of cars in front of me....thinking they
were waiting to go around the said roundabout as nothing was moving I realised I
was in a queue for petrol....the filling station being quarter of a mile away....so I had to
manoeuvre out of the queue saying "Blinking heck I am in the wrong flaming
queue....oh drat"....or words to that effect......and now the media can concentrate on
something else to frighten everyone.
What people don't seem to grasp is the fact that those who sell you cars or discuss
your bank account or offer you better deals on your insurance...etc....are NOT your
friends...and in most cases are a lot cleverer than you....they are in business whose
aim is to get money out of you....your "friendly" car dealer soon changes his tune
when you decide not to buy the car he is trying to sell you....I have seen many legal
scams over the years.....one being the receiving of a letter telling you you have WON
one of the following prizes....you are then given a list of prizes ranging from large
amounts of money to expensive cars or holidays....one of the prizes will require you
to pay something out....usually the free holiday which requires a chunk of money for
say insurance...which is refundable when you COMPLETE your holiday....this is
always the one you have "WON" so you pay your 70 quid or whatever thinking you
have won a dream holiday....despite the fact you have never entered any
competition....what they don't tell you is the holiday to Spain is by coach...from
Glasgow....so not wanting to travel for several days with a Scotsman and his mouth
organ in the next seat you aint gonna go...so it's goodbye 70 quid.
@terrywhitehead and neil colbourne joined @vincetracy discussing #Spain #Education #Petrol #ElectricCars #Drivers #Coal #Pollution #UK #Fuel
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss #Sir #RogerHunt
the #Liverpool and #England #WorldCup hero who Vince
played with in the #Merseyside #Showbizz team. We discussed
the financial implications for those who are successful in the
ChampionsLeague. There have been exciting games in this
week's #Champions round of fixtures with success for
Liverpool and #ManCity and #ManUnited with disappointment
for #Chelsea. We had a very interesting look at #Sherrif who
defeated #RealMadrid and #Barcelona were thrashed at
Benfica. The wonderful or wondrous financial organisation of
LaLiga has hit Barcelona harder than Real Madrid. The
premierLeague saw many iinteresting results with the
Brentford draw with Liverpool one of the most exciting games
of the season so far. #Arsenal showed true grit in their
comprehensive win over #Spurs
The series #FeverPitch ......................................
continues and last night the episode looked at the intensity of
the rivalry between #Arsenal and #ManUnited in general and
the roles of #ArseneWenger and #AlexFerguson in particular.
Brighton missed the chance to go top on Monday night and
there was lots to discuss from the previous round of games.
Needless to say we predicted how next week's games will go.
The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez, stood up before
the plenary session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York
today, Thursday, September 23, and warned that he believes “democracy
is threatened”, calling for its “defence”, as the only alternative against any
totalitarian, exclusive and intolerant drift”.
RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussed Jimmy Greaves
RIP and his legacy with #SaintandGreavsie.We then discussed
MarcusRashford and his #SocialMedia activity as part of
GCSEMediaStudies. We looked at the difficulties at
Barcelona and then looked at the intricacies of the #Carabao
Cup where #Liverpool's youngsters had a wonderful game
against #Norwich and other teams used their squads. The
penalty shoots out were absolutely spell-binding with #Everton
and #AstonVilla part of the casualties. Rob had some very
interesting stories to tell us about a team called #Sheriff which
will be playing against #RealMadrid. Then Rob gave us his
LaLiga review. We reviewed the #PremierLeague fixtures and
predicted the games ahead. We also had a quick word about
the wonderful results achieved by the #England ladies known
as the #Lionesses.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus bid a fond farewell to #JimmjyGreaves after looking at various aspects of the game. We also review the Premier League results and predict the forthcoming games
On the music scene I watched a documentary on the Everly Brothers which was very
interesting....I wasn't particularly a fan but it's always good to see an inside
story....speaking of which there was another documentary on The Human League
who I WAS a fan of...I loved their stuff and what I really liked was the fact that Phil
Oakey's no singer and the girls backing him could neither sing or dance but the
group had a certain magic and the records were great.
I also watched Jeff Lynne's E.L.O. at Wembley.....anyone who missed this missed
out....concerts do not get any better....apart from great songs the backing band and
the singers were sensational....and Sting has brought out a new single which
reaches his usual high standards....he is a great lyricist as is shown in his "Every
Breath You Take"...great stuff.....this all makes a great escape route from the news.
I have always liked good female singers with pin point accuracy....for example Celine
Dion with her gentle delivery...Gladys Knight with her perfect phrasing....Aretha
Franklin with her sharp jagged delivery ....Dionne Warwick with her faultless voice
(Heartbreaker being one of my favourite songs)....and of course Tina Turner with her
fabulous range.....a lot can be learned by up and coming girl singers from the likes of
these legends....and at the opposite end of the scale I would like to introduce one of
the worst records ever made...only .in my opinion of course....Tell Laura I Love Her by
Ricky Valance....which reached number one back in the day....but to me it is one of
the worst records ever.
Emmanuel Macron is furious at the submarine pact between the three
countries, which caught France off guard and resulted in the cancelation of
multi-billion dollar contracts for Australia to build and purchase French diesel
submarines. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced the
country was recalling the ambassador to the US Philippe Etienne last night,
citing the 'exceptional seriousness of the announcements'.
Russia has been accused of rigging the prices of gas to damage Britain's
economic recovery from Covid and shortages that could ruin food chain supply
in just two weeks. The country's state-owned energy firm, Gazprom, is now
facing an investigation into the rise in price.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the brilliant start
to the Champions League. We discussed possible issues with
coaching techniques at Leeds before discussing the return of
Ronaldo and his immediate impact at Man United. Rob gave us
his comprehensive roundup of the action in La Liga before we
cast an eye on the Championship and the progress of teams
likely to make their presence felt in the next Premier League. As
ever we reviewed the previous week's action in the Premier
League before moving to our predictions for the weekend
ahead. Napoli's President is trying to revive ideas for a new pan
Europe competition and seems oblivious to the fact that fingers
have already been burnt in this matter. Finally, we took a look
back at the compelling story portrayed on BBC 2 by Fever Pitch
with the histrionics of Eric Cantona having their roots in the
same problems as we have in the game today.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the dreadful injury suffered by #HarveyElliott with the overall conclusion that it really wasn't a bad foul although maybe a coaching issue needs to be addressed at #Leeds and other clubs. The referee seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the injury at first and #Var intervened. We looked at the return of the prodigal son, #CristianoRonaldo, at #ManchesterUnited and then turned our attention to football agents. We contined to our review of the #Premiership before looking at #FeverPitch with particular attention to the #EricCantona incident and abuse suffered by #LLeSaux and the problems of #Paul Merson
My bad record selection this week features a "song"....if you can call it a song.
...which resembles waking up and finding yourself in hell....it is like every nightmare
you have ever had rolled into one....it does in fact defy description....it is called "This
Is Yoko Ono".....performed by the lady herself ....once you start listening to it I
guarantee you will only give it 20 seconds as it will take that long to actually believe
what you are hearing.....I'm sure Yoko is a nice person but whoever told her she could
sing should be arrested.......it sounds like she has been set on fire......John Lennon
probably liked it....or said he did.....when you play this Vince I will understand if you
cut it short......it's like a punishment.
We have a new tennis superstar....Emma Raducanu who at 18 years old has won
the US open tournament ...without dropping a set through the whole
tournament.....this young lady has it all...apart from her amazing tennis skills she is
pretty and charismatic with a wonderful smile....she has already made a nice bit of
income from her appearance at Wimbledon and she can now add 2.5 million dollars
to her bank account......not to mention the sponsors who will be queuing up.....well
deserved....I have played tennis at club level so I can appreciate the skills of top
class players and the work and dedication required to reach world class level....I
watched the game and was on the edge of my seat....the girl has a massive talent.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the sad case of a young 17 year old lad who died from a heart problem during a football match. We tried to give the right perspective as we were also discussing French international Jean Pierre Adams who died at the age of 73 after being in a coma for 39 years. We looked at #Spain's results against #Sweden and #Georgia and #England's pèrformances against #Andorra and #Poland. Ron gave his #LaLiga roundup and we discussed #KeithHackett's remarks about the touchline antics of #JurgenKlopp. We looked at #ArseneWenger's efforts to help enjoy the #orldCup every two years for both men and women and looked at the bizarre #Covid events in the match between #Brazil and #Argentina. We went to the #Premiership matches for the coming weekend with the comments referring to the strange Covid comings and goings around the international week...https://www.vincetracy.com/podcastfile/robdaniels9september2021.mp3
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed #Pele who has just
had a tumour removed from his colon. We remember what a
gentleman he has been and what a wonderful footballer for us
to enjoy watching. We also mentioned the sad case of #Jean
Pierre Evans who died after being in a 39 year coma. He was
going to have an operation on his knee which was described as
routine. There had been an unusual Covid moment when
Health officials in #Brazil intervened in the match against
Argentina.Four players from the #Premiership had
contravened the rules. We discussed #PitchFever the rise of
the #PremierLeague on #BBC2. I really enjoyed watching this.
Word of the year...."INCREDIBLE"....everyone seems to use this word on every TV programme every five minutes....it's incredible........
.......... ABBA are reforming to do a concert with themselves computerised.....they have just brought out a single which is absolutely brilliant....the production is a masterpiece and at last some decent music to listen too....HOWEVER.... some music critic called Neil McCormick who "takes no prisoners" has given it a 2 star rating and called it a flop......this obviously being the only way he can get himself noticed and keep his job
at the Daily Telegraph...what a berk....I doubt if he could play a tambourine ....and this is the problem....when the record sells millions which it will I hope he is informed as to where he can stick his opinion.
I always tell young up and coming hopefuls that to get on in showbiz you have to really go for it and if I can do it anyone can...an example was in 1977 when I wrote a song which I thought could do O.K. on the Opportunity Knocks Song Contest....the problem was you had to record a demo and send it off with top line manuscript and chords which was a problem as I couldn't read or write music.......so giving up is never an option.....it's all about BELIEF.
There was an interesting article on Radio 2 with Jeremy Vine where restaurants
were complaining that people who put bad reviews about them on line was affecting their business as they were unable to respond........which would put other morons off trying to get in on the act.
This week's bad song which I have never recovered from....."Rosetta" by Alan Price and Georgie Fame with the constant repeating of the hook "Rosetta are you better are you well well well"......definitely puts it in my personal musical dustbin....I saw them at a club in Liverpool back in the day....they were worse than this record....again just my opinion
During Las Fallas celebrations, which this year will be held from 1-5
September, there will be six purple points or Puntos Violetas with the aim of
preventing acts of sexual aggression.
The SNP have warned the British Government that they will reject any attempt
to keep Britain's nuclear submarines north of the border in the event of an
independence vote.
Afghan refugees will be taught about British values, culture and civic duties to
help them integrate into society, it was revealed today. Ministers are said to
want to emulate schemes in countries such as France and Germany where
hours of language classes are given to newcomers.
Top UK universities are chartering flights to bring Chinese students into the
country next month. The flights come amid warnings that UK institutions are at
risk of overlooking the needs of British students while trying to cater to
international students in a bid to avoid losing millions of pounds in overseas
fees due to coronavirus travel restrictions.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the enigmatic
Cristiano Renaldo as he shines for #Portugal and returns to
ManchesterUnited. We looked at the #Ireland decision to pay
their male and female internationals the same money. More
individual bad behaviour from top players is going under the
radar and we looked at the news regarding #Mendy of
ManCity and #WanBissaka of #ManUnited before moving to
Scotland's decision to introduce #CovidPassports for football
attendance. Rob brought us the latest #LaLiga round of
matches before reviewing the latest games in the
Championship and #PremierLeague.. Rob is really well
informed on Spanish soccer matters and tells us about the
young lad who is now wearing the Messi Number 10 shirt. Ansu
Fatii is the name to watch out for. Please remember Rob had
brought this player to our attention a few weeks ago.
Brenda Lee was born in 1944 as Brenda Mae Tarpley and she became a worldwide American singer. performing Rockabilly, Pop and Country. She had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s and is ranked fourth in that decade, surpassed only by Elvis, The Beatles and Ray Charles. I'm pretty sure you will have heard her 1958's Christmas classic 'Rockin around the Christmas Tree.
S was given the nickname "Little Miss Dynamite" in 1957 after recording the song "Dynamite" when she was 12, and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following. You can obviously guess how chuffed I was to chat with Brenda about her fabulous career in music.I called her from my radio show based in sunny Spain and particularly wanted to know about her great song Sweet Nothins. It still remains one of my favourite podcasts.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed another brilliant
weekend of Premier League football. #Chelsea showed their
Champions form as they held #Liverpool to a draw at #Anfield
whilst #ManCity turned on the style to stick 5 past a
beleaguered #Arsenal where I still feel the elements have
conspired against #Arteta. We discussed the mysteries of the
world of refereeing and the obnoxious late flag. The
Championship is throwing up some interesting results and
illustrating how difficult it has become to get back to the Premier
League. International fixtures encroach for the next fortnight
which will overshadow #Pogba's horrendous late tackle.
Before we discuss bad music (only in my opinion) I would like to give a mention to a
performance from the past by Yoko Ono which I was unfortunately subjected to on a
recent TV programme....it was a stadium concert with Yoko approaching the Mike
backed by Eric Clapton on guitar...Keith Richards on Bass....and of course John
Lennon on guitar.....plus a big band behind them....next to the mike was some bloke
scraping away on a fiddle...then Yoko begins....she didn't actually sing she just
squawked in various octaves .... no words...no tune....it sounded like either a seagull
or a tom cat with its testicles trapped in the door.....added to which was the fiddle
playing at high speed into the same mike....it was unbearable and if I had have been
Clapton I would have walked off....what was going on?!!....to call it atrocious would be
a compliment.......but I suppose it gives certain folk the opportunity to "understand"
the message....the same folk who see so much art excellence in Tracy Emin's
unmade bed.....it's hard to believe what some people can get away with.....IT IS
RUBBISH!!
As for my worst song feature this week I would like to put forward The Smiths.....no
song in particular just anything by The Smiths.....Morrisey has to be the worst singer
and "composer" ever...with the exception of Yoko of course......the band are good it's
just Morrisey....it's as if the band go in the studio and rattle out a decent backing
track....then along comes Morrisey and sings the first thing that comes into his head
over it......so Vince the choice this week is yours....anything by The Smiths will be fine
with me because it is all diabolical.
The years may have flown by but I still fondly remember my radio interview with Chubby Checker-one of the all-time music greats. His hits changed the way the world danced. Let's twist again, again and again.
Spain is a second home to many criminal groups, in particular the Italian mafia.
The recent arrests of two mafia bosses highlight this trend. At the beginning of
August, Domenico Paviglianiti, a high-ranking member of the ‘Ndrangheta
mafia group, was arrested in Madrid, where he had been hiding after being
wrongly released from prison in Italy.
Forgotten, lost or collected: Spaniards hang on to peseta coins and banknotes
worth €1.6 billion The deadline to exchange the former currency for euros has
now passed, but unlike in countries such as France or Portugal, a surprisingly
large amount has not been returned.
SPAIN must urgently change its rules on how much British pensioners need to
earn to live there or its economy will suffer badly, a leading ex-pat said to The
Express. Speaking from the Expat Centre in Costa Blanca South, Moira
Carmenate said she was “surprised” that Spain hadn’t dropped its requirement
for pensioners to prove an annual earning of more than £21,000 (€24,697).
Arsenal Boss, Michel #Arteta is having a difficult
time and is already being touted as a management casualty! I
see this differently. Last night's 6-0 win at #WestBrom might
give the perspective. Rob gave us the #LaLiga update before
we looked at the #EFL Cup results. For the last part of the
podcast we predicted the #PremierLeague games for the week
ahead which we were basing on the results from last weekend.
The #PremierLeague is looking very competitive already and
Liverpool can test themselves against the European
Champions #Chelsea. This weekend.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the problem's being
faced by #Arsenal and #Arteta with #SolCampbell eager to offer
his expertise. #Antonio and #Lukaku are proving to be
revelations in the new season with #Sntonio standing out as the
new Hammer's hero. His goalscoring celebration went down well
withe commentators. We discussed great goals and results
around the #PremierLeague with #DannyIngs scoring a great
goal for #AstonVilla. In passing we noted how strong #Chelsea
look and how #ManCity have got seriously nack on track at the
expense of #Norwich. In passing we noted #WestBrom and
Fulham going well in the #Championship.
First, Don's weekly rant with #Wirral #SeanLock #AntandDec #BradleyWalsh #RodHull #Emu
before Don told me ........."I have always liked to listen to good music with clever arrangements and lyrics but like
with Ant and Dec I fail to see how some songs achieve their popularity..... I would now
like to voice an opinion on a piece of music which I thought was pretty bad......I know
the song sold millions and made a bunch of Liverpool lads very famous....but I never
got it at the time and never have....Love Me Do by The Beatles....I really enjoy good
lyrics....but...Love Me Do.....it's something you would never say....."hey girl love me
do"....makes no sense whereas Love me TOO would make more sense.....Love me
too (because I love you).....it was brilliantly marketed to created mass hysteria but for
me it is one of my least favourite songs of all time....sorry about that....I can'y comment
on modern rap because the radio is switched off after the first two bars.
A senior firefighter has won more than £40,000 after he was sacked for calling
his boss a 'buffoon'.Paul Renforth had a reputation for being 'quite an angry
individual' and had 'bad blood' with managers, an employment tribunal heard.
Metropolitan Police officers 'recognise' a link between football games and a
rise in domestic abuse cases, a police chief has said. Met Commander Melanie
Dales said extra resources are deployed specifically for large sporting events
to deal with a 'spike' in cases............
One of Britain's widest cycle paths which is even larger than the lanes on the
road it runs alongside was today condemned as 'shambles' by local residents
with drivers having to pull over to avoid crashing. The cycle path, which is 11ft
2in across, was created in Wimborne, Dorset, by drastically narrowing the
width of a busy B-road alongside it - leaving buses, lorries, buses and
emergency vehicles with only 9ft 5in wide lanes.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the terrible
situation for females in general in Afghanistan and how their
cause has been set back by the return of the Taliban. We
looked at the career of Gerhard Muhler as he has just died of
Altzheimers. We discussed the career of Diego #Simeone and
the remarks in an article reflecting the views of
CristianoRonaldo who feels the press have been disrespectful
to him. Rob then gave us a #LaLiga roundup before looking at
the #Championship. The last part of the podcast reviewed the
PremierLeague results and predicted the next week's games.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed tthe first day's fixtures
in the #PremierLeague season with a great win for #ManUnited
over #Leeds, #Brenford put 74 years of waiting behind them as
they defeated #Arsenal and #Watford bounced back to the
Premiership with a win over #AstonVilla. Villa is now post
Grealish who travelled down to London where #Son scored a
great goal to give nwe manager #Nuno a win over #ManCity.
Elsewhere #Liverpool enjoyed a win at #Norwich and #Everton
gave #RafaBenitez his first win for the Toffees. We discussed
the crowds returning to the games with the disparity at Man
United 72,00 highlighted at Brentford's 18.000
The song which had the greatest impact on me was Rock Around The Clock.....It was 1956 and it was a rainy Saturday afternoon so my mate and I decided to go to the pictures tp see this film which was causing uproar at cinemas....up until then we were
subjected to Sinatra and Bing Crosby etc. and were told by our parents to stay away from this new "Teddy Boy" music.....so off we went out of interest.....when the film came on I couldn't believe what I was seeing....with everyone (including me) clapping along to
the music and kids getting up and dancing in the aisles.....I came out of the cinema a different lad and told my mate THAT is what we have to do.....my dad made me a Spanish guitar which I learned to play....started a group in school and have played ever
since.....the song still stands up today and is pure rock and roll.....and thankfully altered the path of popular music....which incidentally took the BBC several years to realise........
Fury as Scottish pupils allowed to change gender aged four without parental
consent .......... in Scotland as young as four will be allowed to change gender
without parental consent, under new Scottish government guidelines.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the European
Super Championship when #Chelsea beat #Villareal on
penalties and the Chelsea manager reckoned he pulled off a
major tactical coup by substituting his goalkeeper during the
penalty shoot out. We discussed the Oscar winning
performance by #LionelMessi as he choked back the tears of
his Parisian bank manager. We discussed a news item with
RealMadrid before turning our attention to the
Championship and the first round of fixtures. Finally, we made
our #Premier predictions for the season ahead
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed tthe monopoly
situation at the top of the #PremierLeague and wondered how
the #fantasyfootball rules would work in this environment.
Obviously, we made reference to #JackGrealish and #ManCity
but acknowledged the advantage tha City #ManUnited,
Liverpoolo, #Chelsea, #Arsenal, #Leicester etc have over the
other clubs in the top division. We acknowledged the
performances of the #ladies and discussed whether there is
just too much sport to follow everything set before us. Not in
great depth we looked at the first round of games in the
Championshio and forecast the first #Premier games.
I must say I have enjoyed the olympics....especially the friendship between the
competitors,,, and the unbelievable skills of the young teenagers in the
skateboarding,diving and gymnastics.....good to see respectful and well behaved
youngsters displaying their talents instead of giving TV news coverage of complete
morons throwing missiles at the police and the ambulance service....or acting like
neanderthals at football matches.....even the boxers give each other a big hug after
battering each other....let's hope some of this rubs off on the low life we have to put up
with nowadays.
s week my final travel feature takes us to Finland....not with Monty Lister but he
strangely features in it....It was back n 2001 when I got a gig at a skiffle convention in
Finland....I put a skiffle group together and off we went.....we arrived on a Friday...did the
gig on the Saturday...spent Sunday looking around and back on the Monday....at the
time I was working with Monty Lister on his Sunday morning programme on Radio
Merseyside so I told him I would be missing on that day....the gig went very well on the
Saturday night and the next day we were wandering around the town when a guy comes
up to us and tells me how much he enjoyed the music and invited us to his restaurant for
the afternoon....so we all jump in his car and he puts on a CD telling us this was the sort
of music he liked.....first track was Monty Lister interviewing Bill Haley.....I couldn't
believe it....he asked me if I knew this man....so I told him if I wasn't sitting in his car
somewhere in the Arctic Circle I would be on the radio with him at that moment....took
me a while to get over it....what were the chances of that?
The story behind the Finland gig was I wrote a song for a dear friend of mine who was in
one of the first skiffle groups in the area....called The Atlantics.....his name was John
Lomax who I was inspired by in the late 50s....we became good friends when we met in
the 90s which is when I wrote the song for him.....he sent it off to Hankasalmi in Finland
where they have an annual skiffle convention.....we were then invited to go and perform
there which we did....I put a small skiffle group together with John and we went there as
The Atlantics....and had a great time.....so here is the song....The Story of Skiffle.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the newspaper article in which #Villa and #England defender #TyroneMings tells us his mental health duffered during the #Euro2020 championship. Transfer rumours are rife with #JackGrealish and #HarryKane well to the fore. Where does the money come from? There is another report from #Scotland linking dementia and #Altzheimers with heading the football. The length of your career and position played are other determining factors. We looked at the #USA Ladies losing to #Canada and wondered why #Sweden do so well. In passing we looked at #transgender
After Don's rant.......
This week's "there and back in a day" features Northern Ireland......as explained in previous programmes these were travelogues made with Radio Merseyside's Monty Lister where we would travel to various places for one day...he would do the commentary and I would handle the sound.....so this one starts out at Liverpool Airport in the early hours of the morning and we land in Belfast where we are shown around the city before boarding a coach which takes us across country to the Mountains of Mourn where we stopped off for lunch and had a look around the area.....on the way there the coach driver pointed out some boats coming into the harbour and explained they were bringing back a cargo of eels for the local fishmonger trade....someone on the coach asked if we could see some eels.....the driver nods his head and takes a left off the carriageway and down this country road which was narrower that the coach....stops at a farm and goes and asks this chap if he could show his passengers some eels....the chap comes on to the coach with a huge box of LIVE eels all jumping about with him trying to keep them

In the municipality of Tijarafe, on the island of La Palma, one of the Canary
Islands, located among pine and almond trees in the northwest corner of the
island, you can discover one of the most incredible sights, Poris de Candelaria, the ‘town within a cave’, overlooking the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean, where it is not unusual to regularly spot whales or dolphins.
Leapy Lee writes in his column.........
In the UK....More than 50 Tory MPs are prepared to vote against the
government's ''misguided' vaccine passport plan and said they are 'horrified' by the possible curbs on individual freedoms. Boris Johnson had announced that certificates proving double vaccinations will be needed to enter nightclubs and potentially other venues and universities from the end of September.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the #Tokyo
Olympic Football Tournament where the quarter-finals will see
Team GB qualify for the Wome's tournament and #Spain in
the men's tournament. We discussed the sad death of Andrew
Devine the 97th victim of the Hillsborough Tragedy. We had an
in-depth look at the new #Heading guidance as o9rdained by
the football authorities. In passing we discussed #ayneRooney
XabyAlonso and #FernandoTorres for various reasons. We
were aware of several qualifying games for the
ChampionsLeague.
Looks like Liverpool is losing it's world heritage award which has put it on a level with
the Great Pyramids and the Taj Mahal....apparently it will be one of only three locations
to ever lose this "honour"....it seems the intended building of Everton's football stadium
on the waterfront plus the recent development which completely dwarfs the famous Liver
buildings hasn't gone down too well with the powers that be.....looking at it all from the
other side of the Mersey I doubt if you could fit a garden shed in between the huge
selection of skyscrapers.....at least it will always have being the Capital of Culture on it's
CV.
Behind the recent price hikes and how can you save money on your bill? What’s
happened? The price of electricity in Spain has been rising for more than a year,
but on July 21st 2021, it reached a new historic high of €106.57 / MWh, according
to data from the Iberian Electricity Market Operator (OMIE). This amid an
economic crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a national heatwave, has
dealt another blow to Spanish pockets and has caused a wave of complaints.
SPANISH town of Otero de Sanabria gets its own AVE train station for its 24
inhabitants Alfonso Fernandez Mañueco, the President of Castilla y Leon,
accompanied by Raquel Sanchez, the Minister of Public Works, on Thursday,
July 22, inaugurated the AVE new train station in the small town of Otero de
Sanabria, which has just 24 inhabitants, who, after several months of seeing
trains passing for Galicia, can now take advantage of the four daily services to
Madrid and Galicia.
In the UK This is the election that will determine the future of Labour — and
perhaps whether it continues to exist as a party at all. No, not a plan to unseat
Sir Keir Starmer — but the race to succeed 'Red Len' McCluskey as the leader of
Unite, the 1.4-million strong trade union that the Corbyn-supporting McCluskey
has controlled with an iron grip since 2010.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the rumours of
the day before settling down to more serious topics. Rob told us
about #JoaquimSanchez who is still playing for #Betis at the
age of 4o. Rob then told us about #JonathonVanTann who is a
Boston United supporter who just happens to be one of the top
epidemiologists in the fight against #Covid. I pulled a few wird
football stories from the internet before Rob correctly identified
the 12 original members of the first football league. We
discussed some of the brilliant players before finishing our
podcast criticising the mentalty that teaches kids to tackle
unfairly
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the work involved in
running Eric's #AlfazFantasyFootball League which is now into
it's 28th year. Eric has a lot to be congratulated for in his
splendid work for the football community. We developed an
awareness of the 17 laws of the FootballAssociation and, in
particular, we looked at the law involving the taking of a penalty.
It would appear the interpretation of the rule is wide. We looked
at a webpage depicting the 10 best players in the world. On this
list we looked at the careers of #Pele #Messi #Maradonna
JohanKruyff #Eusebio #Si Stefano #CristianoRonaldo
FerencePuskas #FranzBeckenbauer and #MichelPlatini
Don's weekly rant at items in the UK news followed by great advice for budding songwriters........ The song this week is one I wrote for my mate- wrestler Adrian Street.....it is a song which I originally tried to push to publishers and record companies with no success and when I met Adrian I decided to record it with him as it suited his image....when he moved to the States he made a video of it and got it on MTV....just a quick message to all you big time boffins in the music industry....the song paid off my mortgage...which shows how much YOU know....so here it is the classic "I'm In Love With Me".....beautifully sung by Adrian Street..
Alcohol consumption reportedly caused cancer tumours in 100,000 moderate
drinkers last year According to a recent study published in The Lancet
Oncology, the consumption of alcohol was scientifically proved to be
responsible for 740,000 cancer tumours worldwide in 2020.
Their research showed differences by region or sex, and revealed that three out
of every four cancers affected men, and the most affected regions were the Far
East, or Central and Eastern Europe, with alcohol-related cases in Spain
accounting for 4.4 per cent of the total, equalling 11,600......
RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussing the Wembley
invasion prior to the Euro2020 final. Rob has been looking at
the rumours circulating after the final. Lionel Messi has agreed
a massive pay cut but he's still earning a fortune and
RealMadrid have their own financial demons to live with.
Florentino Perez has ventured into the video scene at the
expense of #JoseMarino and #ChristianoRenaldo and
DanielSturridge is back in the big time at #Mallorca in #Laliga
There is still a lot of fallout after the English players received
racial abuse on the social media platforms.
England lose another penalty shoot-out but #GarethSouthgate made some very strange decisions. All this certainly did not condone the behaviour of certain elements at #Wembley and nothing justifies racial abuse of Englans's young black players. Join the podcast at.........

Since we last spoke we have had some naughty goings on in our wonderful government
which would make a great Hollywood movie if it wasn't so tragic.....we have Matt
Hancock being caught on camera snogging his aide Gina Colodangelo with his hand
placed in a rather unfortunate place......after seeing this in the daily papers and on the
news I can't even imagine how his wife and kids reacted when he got home....but I can
guess....then we have Dominic Cummings laying into Boris Johnson revealing all the
private conversations they had when they were friends...with friends like Dominic who
needs enemies.
Then we have the football with all the fans piling on to planes and jumping up and down
in the stadiums and dancing around the pubs as England progressed through the
Euros....and by some strange coincidence the covid rate is rapidly rising....I wonder
why?...we not only have the matches afternoon and night on the telly but headline news
each morning for 20 minutes....at the time of writing England have progressed to the
final....so at this point in time I don't know the result and couldn't care less......and if you
don't like football you can change channels on your TV and watch endless tennis.....and
if you don't like tennis you've had it.....and not forgetting the wonderful English so called
fans booing the Denmark national anthem and trying to shine a laser into the goalie's
eyes....they can't possibly know that they are are just a collection of useless pieces of
manure of no use whatsoever to the human race.....not forgetting the pretty young thing
who raised English hopes by getting through two rounds at Wimbledon....I felt sorry
when nerves got the better of her and she lost....however the 180 grand she gets should
ease the pain.
Mind you on the positive side Garry Linaker has agreed to take a drop in salary from his
couple of hours work each week as a BBC football pundit....sadly he now only gets 1.3
million a year....so that's O.K. then.
New legislation in Spain following a gang rape case in Northern Spain asserting
that when a female says 'no' she means 'no' defining what is consent ...Solo Si
es Si....about time too! The newspaper article was written or translated in a
bizarre way. This is a Podemos initiative ......
The tourist industry in Spain is braced for more problems as Germany, France
and UK are trying to sort out their traffic light system for self isolation and
vaccination freedom to travel.
English Language learning programmes are coming under attack in schools in
Spain.
Fires are raging across swathes of Russia and Spain and it is with great
admiration for the fire services who bravely fight these fires to protect us all.
Uk news headlines comment on Prince Charles and his relationship with Prince
Harry. There is also an article looking at whether Prince Edward will inherit the
title of Duke of Edinburgh.
England expects every man to do his duty after Sterling dropped during the
semi-final with Denmark. Many people are looking at England's fortune via a
dodgy penalty.
Finally, a review of the highlights from the Euro 2020
@vince tracy and @Robdaniels catch up on all the latest Euro 2020 news plus fascinating insight to the rules of international football. England win in a hard-fought battle with Denmark after Italy scraped home against Spain.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the semi/finals of
Euro2020 where England take on Denmark and Spain will play
Italy.Eric is not overly impressed by England[s style of playing
and wants a more attacking performance although he is
pleased with the defensive performances. We discussed
whether GarehtSouthgate is a brilliant tactician or just
downright lucky. We asked the question with Grealish and
PhilFoden in mind! We discussed the exciting performance of
Portugal, Hungary and Spain with the Italy and Denmark teams
waiting for continued success in the semi-finals. Eric sees an
England Italy final....so do I....will we be right?
This week marks five years since the Brexit referendum shocked Europe. Despite forecasts
that Britain’s withdrawal would trigger other departures by countries with similar Eurosceptic
urges, the response from member states on Brexit has been remarkably unified. Cooperation
among member states has deepened, most notably in the form of the €750 billion recovery
fund that was made possible as a consequence of the UK leaving the club.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to give an insight to the sad
demise of footballer Dalian Atkinson who played football in both
England and Spain. We discussed #UEFA and the involvement
in #LGBT in the #Hungary decision making process. We had a
few items of #Covid related news. #NickKnowles has had a
tweet spat with #GaryLineker and the fact that €ngland has not
made the greatest impact as a world-beating football nation.
We looked at the fantastic generosity of #Liverpool star
SadioMane and his life in #Senegal and #MarcusRashford
and his work in helping less fortunate youngsters.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the latest #Covid
.details including the #England and #Scotland players who
managed to escape their bubbles and infect each other!
Southgate will need to shuffle his pack but €ngland have
already qualified for the next round so the hype can be…

After the weekly news rant @donwoods tells @vincetracy about his invitation to meet #thepope and memories of his visit to #Rome with #MontyLister from #BBC #RadioMerseyside .......This week's "there and back in a day" feature from my days on Radio Merseyside with Monty Lister takes us to Rome...6.30 in the morning we took off from Speke Airport in
Liverpool arrive in Rome around 9.30....to say Rome is stunning is an understatement....everywhere you look is famous....we were taken on a guided tour of the city with Monty doing his commentary and me recording him....first we saw the Trevi Fountain (made famous by Sinatra's Three Coins)....it is a lot smaller than you expect but magnificent....then past the Spanish Steps with rows of tourists sitting on them enjoying the sunshine...then off to the Pantheon which is spectacular....and you have to wonder how the dome was built with the equipment they had back then....apparently
when Michael Angelo walked in and looked up he said it had to have been built by aliens.....we then went to the Vatican which is unbelievable...
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy and discussed the worrying incident with Christian Eriksen at the #Denmark v #Finland game at the #Euro 2020 championship. We discussed the irresponsibility of #Greenpeace during the #France v #Germany game amd the stance of #Ronaldo and #Pogba against the marketing moguls.........we also reviewed thrilling matches played and mouth-watering matches to come...
From July 1, the European Union is going to put into use a “coronavirus passport” that
will allow its citizens to travel across the 27-country bloc without the need for
quarantines – assuming the epidemiological situation does not take a new turn for
the worse. The “EU Digital Covid Certificate,” as the scheme is known, is seeking to
standardize the documents issued by each country so that they can be recognized by
each member.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the matches already
played in the #Euro2020 tournament. The games have been
really exciting with #Belgium, #Holland and #Italy looking good.
Scotland put up a brave show and #Wales earned their draw
while #England looked workmanlike. Away from the football we
discussed the tragic health problems of the #Denmark player
Ericson and we were both impressed by the referee
AnthonyTaylor and the reaction of the Danish players. We
also questioned #UEFA's reaction to this event. We discussed
the knee issue and the possible reasons why this is continuing
and we looked at the #EFL asking for an independent regulator.
Join @DonWoods for the weekly rant ...then.....Don, "This week I would like to tell you
about another day trip I did as Monty Lister's sound man for another of his travelogues
on Radio Merseyside....this week we feature Bergen in Norway....
again we started out from Speke Airport at around 6 in the morning...
off the plane at Bergen and on to the coach.....Bergen is a
beautiful place,very picturesque,and we were taken to the small harbour in the town
where we boarded a boat and were treated to a trip down the fjord......which was
spectacular with Monty in his element describing the scenery and interviewing fellow
passengers.....the views were stunning.....when we got back to the town we were then
taken to the funicular railway which takes you to the top of the nearby mountain which
again was spectacular...from the top you had a breathtaking view of Bergen and the
fjords.....on returning back to earth Monty suggested going for a beer in a nearby pub
where we could sit outside and enjoy the scenery.....Monty offered to get the
drinks...while he was gone I switched on the recorder and said "Monty Lister is now
buying a round of drinks...the last time this happened three wise men came from the
east"....I then switched it off as Monty arrived with two bottles of beer....he told me they
cost £7 each which explained why he was staggering a bit....14 quid for two bottles of
beer......once he had recovered we went back to the coach and got the plane back to
speke with another travelogue in the bag......during the week Monty phoned me and said
he was editing the programme and was not amused by my comment which he obviously
edited out.
First the rant then.....
This week I would like to tell you about another day trip I did as soundman for Monty
Lister on Radio Merseyside back in the day....this one took us to Italy where we visited
Pisa and Florence...there and back in a day.......sitting in Speke Airport in Liverpool at
6.30 in the morning and having a coffee looking at the leaning tower at 10
O'Clock......the leaning tower is a lot smaller than you expect....in fact you could walk
past it if you didn't know it was there....so round the town we went with Monty doing his
usual vocal descriptions and interviews with people then it was back on the coach and
off to Florence which is very compact and our tour took us around some of the many art
centres and museums....one of the roads reminded me of Mathew Street in Liverpool
and when you get to the end of it you are taken by surprise by the largest cathedral in
italy....about 30 yards in front of you....the magnificent Basilica....after the tour Monty and
I decided to find a restaurant and have an authentic Italian Pizza....however we couldn't
FIND a restaurant....when we eventually did find one we ordered a couple of pizzas
which tasted like cardboard....then we left and after about 30 yards we came to a main
road with about 50 restaurants.....say no more.....then it was back to the coach and got
back to Liverpool about 10.30 with another of Monty's travelogues in the bag.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy and discussed the strange
Covid situations developing round the #Euro2020
championship. We had a look at #BLM and its message being
booed by supporters who do not want the players to take the
knee. We then discussed #gambling and sponsorship deals like
the dissent shown by #Norwich fans. Rob showed us how
prevalent this sponsorship has become with suicide not being
unknown in many families due to betting. Our next topic was a
criticism of #UEFA and its fine for the Super League venture.
We made our predictions for the first #Euro2020 games
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed Steve Hollamnd the
England assistant manager to #GarethSouthgate and
developed the differences between #coaches #managers and
trainers. We looked at the #UEFA plan to change the away
goal rule. We developed ideas on which managers might end
up at #Everton #CrystalPalace and #Wolves and discussed
RoyHodgson, #FrankLampard #Ancelotti #StevenGerrard and
PepGuardiola. We even had a look at the #Badiel and
Skinner anthem #Football'scominghome before discussing the
role of the media in sport. Finally, we gave our predictions for
the first round of Euro 2020 fixtures.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy and discussed the
generosity of #KunAguero in giving all members of staff at
ManCity a quality watch engraved with his gracias
message,We looked #England defeating #Austria and #France
defeating #Wales in last night's friendlies. Rob then developed
the #Spanish soccer news including #SergioRamos not playing.
We looked at the #Champions and #Europa finals before
developing ideas of transfer deals and manager appointments
with #Ancelotti back with #RealMadrid. Finally, we discussed
possible #PremierLeague Player of the Year and the
forthcoming #Euro championship.
**Nuria Montes, general secretary of Hosbec, the hoteliers association of
Benidorm and the Costa Blanca, made a scathing attack of the UK’s criteria for
classifying** countries in their traffic light system and accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of
protectionism.
Emiliano García-Page, president of Castilla-La Mancha, has said that his government is
planning to end the compulsory use of face masks outdoors in the region by July.
According to a recent study published in early April 2021, by researchers Adrià Miralles-
Núñez, Carlos Pradera and Juan A. Pujol, a new insect – Zelus renardii – with a powerful bite, has
been detected in some of the autonomous communities of Spain, namely, the Valencian
Community, Madrid and Cádiz, but they forecast that it will quickly spread to other regions of the
country.
**Guardia Civil officers in La Zubia – a small municipality in the province of Granada –
have arrested a 38-year-old man who has a previous criminal record, charged with
being suspected of stealing more than €8,000 from an 80-year-old woman** after he
passed himself off as a gas inspector in order to enter her home.
There has been a lot of speculation recently both on social media and in the press about whether
UK visitors to Spain who are coming to stay with friends and family, and do not have tourist
accommodation booked, have to complete and pay for a carta de invitación, an official form that
specifies who you will be staying with while in Spain. The Spanish Government has clarified that
the carta de invitation is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if
staying with friends or family.
One piece of good news for UK nationals living abroad arrived this week: British citizens will be
given “votes for life” as the government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson is scrapping the current
15-year limit on voting rights.
@vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the
ChampionsLeague #PepGuardiola and #ManchesterCity
losing to #@Chelsea at the final in #Porto. We discussed the
behaviour of fans who were described on Spanish TV as
hooligans and the #grafitti daubed on the statue of
Winstonhurchill in #London. We welcomed #Brentford
Norwich and #Watford to the #PremierLeague before looking
ahead and predicting the group winners in the forthcoming
Euros. Will Pochettino return to #Tottenham and has
Mourino banked all his redundancy Pay? Finally, we

I am sick and tired of hearing about Prince Harry...the Royals...Martin Bashir....and Dominic Cummings who was featured with his 7 hour grilling regarding his fierce criticism of the Government...with friends like him who needs enemies...this is the bloke who ignored lockdown and drove 300 miles to see his family then drove to a castle with his wife and kid to "test his eyesight" before driving back.....but it's O.K. because he has apologised...
On a lighter note I have a daily browse through Facebook as there are some interesting entries but what I fail to see the point of is people showing what they had for dinner or photos of themselves on past holidays etc.....with inane comments like "nice pic"....I Sifting through the dross on TV there are some programmes I like...for example "Would I Lie To You" which is very funny and a great concept and my particular favourite "Room 101" where celebs rant about their particular hates....all of which I generally agree with....
The cast of Friends have recently had a reunion which was broadcast on TV.....I was a fan of the show as it was wonderfully written and acted....perfect cast - perfect script....
This week the subject of my Radio Merseyside day trips as soundman for Monty Lister takes us to Tromso in Norway for one of his many travelogues......Tromso (pronounced Trumsa) is the most northerly town on the planet so needless to say it was a bit nippy........we were then treated to a lecture by Patrick Moore who educated us all on the Northern Lights....he was very interesting and witty....we then went to a local pub where,in the corner,sat Patrick Moore so I wandered over and told him how much I enjoyed his lecture.. The song this week is the jingle I wrote for Monty which he used very week on his Sunday morning programme....great days great memories.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy and discussed very serious
issues at the start of the podcast with the latest #Hillsborough
ruling. We turned our attention to a thrilling #EuropaLeague
final with #Villareal winning on penalties when #DaviddeGea the
ManchestUnited goalkeeper missed his penalty to lose the
game. We look forward to #ManCity v #Chelsea in the
ChampionsLeague final. We looked at the careers of
Ronaldo #Suarez and #GarethBale and the possibilities of
Juventus #Madrid and #Barcelona being banned from the
ChampionsLeague. We discussed the thrilling finales to
LaLiga and #premierLeague
Eitan Biran, five, the sole survivor of a horror cable car crash in Italy which killed his parents,

and subsequent resale”, according to a police statement.
The body of a man has been found inside a dinosaur statue in a Barcelona suburb. Police are
investigating the death of the 39-year-old who reportedly fell into the statue while trying to
retrieve a mobile phone dropped inside the papier-mâché figure.
A British expat couple who have been living in a garage in Spain for 13 years after their £350,000
retirement villa was bulldozed have finally won legal status for their property. The small victory
means Helen and Len Prior, both 77, can now get their garage home hooked up to mains water

In the UK Valerie Vaz, axed by Keir Starmer from the Labour front bench earlier this month, said
during a TV appearance that the PM was 'not quite at death's door' despite what the public was 'led
to believe'.
A Labour councillor has been suspended after accusing the Israeli government of kidnapping
Palestinian children to 'harvest their organs'.
Yusuf Jan-Virmani, an ex-Blackburn with Darwen Council executive board member councillor,
also compared Israeli people to 'crocodiles' during the group's annual meeting last Thursday.
It is understood he has since been administratively suspended from Labour, which is set to launch
a full investigation.
A 97-year-old Holocaust survivor has received a barrage of anti-Semitic messages including
'peace be upon Hitler' on TikTok. Lily Ebert, a survivor of Auschwitz and the Nazi death marches,
posted a video wishing her followers a peaceful Shabbat (Sabbath) from her London home on May
- Shortly afterwards, the account was targeted with 'messages of hate', Mrs Ebert's great-
grandson Dov Forman, 17, revealed.
Former British paratrooper Chris Lewis, 40, found himself 'struggling' with money after leaving
the army in 2004, and was left living on the streets before seeking help from military charity
SSAFA. In August 2017, single dad Chris set off from Beach Hill car park in Swansea with £10 in his
pocket to walk the entire coastline in the UK, in a bid to raise funds for the charity that helped
rebuild his life.
Eurovision: .......... We give up because we think we might not win? Hell no! ...........But it is indicative
of a much larger problem for the Beeb which seems to have a disdain for Britain's ordinary people
and our values.
At the moment the news is all about Martin Bashir and his interview with Lady Diana
25 years ago which says it all....everyone jumping in with their theories about the
damage it has done and the way he misled the world with his "false"
evidence....personally I couldn't care less...Bashir is no worse than the rest of these
chat presenters like Parkinson....Oprah Winfrey,,,Jonathan Ross...Graham
Norton....and worst of all Piers Morgan who has those pregnant pauses during his
interviews hoping the celeb will break down....IT'S GARBAGE....anyone can sit in a
chair and read questions from a notepad.....let's move on from the problems of the
rich and famous ....there are far more important problems in the world.................
...........When I worked on Radio Merseyside with Monty Lister there was a local travel
company who organised DAY trips to various destinations abroad....where the plane
would take off from Speke Airport in Liverpool at about 6 or 7 in the morning and get
back about 10 at night.....Monty would arrange a free ticket for both of us in exchange
for a half hour travelogue which he broadcast on his Sunday Morning
programme....he would describe the tour as we did it and I was his
soundman.........one of our many excursions was to Marrakech....yes there and back
in a day....when we arrived there it was pouring with rain and cold with the locals
gratefully thanking us for the welcome weather.....which the day trippers in their
flowery shirts and shorts didn't go along with....we did a tour of the "Sooks" which is a
massive market place with thousands of market stalls selling all sorts from pots and
pans to shoes and fezzes....with characters walking alongside of you trying to sell you
all sorts....not to mention the occasional horse and cart going past down the
aisles....on our journey I decided to buy a souvenir miniature camel....I was told by the
stall holder they were a pound....so I gave him a pound only to be told they only
accept paper money....after asking how I was going to get my change he told me I
had to buy five camels.....so I asked how much the larger camels were.....five pounds
was his answer....so I said I'll have a large camel and a snd a small one for five
pounds...after he had took his hands off the top of his head explaining that he had a
family to feed he agreed....I loved the guy...what a character.....after our tour we got
back to the coach and looking up the main road there was a roundabout with a
bobby in the middle "directing" the traffic.....none of which was moving because the
four roads leading to the roundabout contained thousands of cars...none of which
were facing the same direction....we returned to Liverpool after a fascinating day......I
doubt whether any of the traffic has moved yet.
Over his many years on radio Monty has travelled the world and recorded his
adventures for his programme....I did many jingles for him over the years and this is
the one he used for his travelogues.....he was a great presenter and a good friend
who has sadly passed away and who I will miss very much.
vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the last games of a
strange #PremierLeague season which saw #ManCity as
champions ahead of #ManUnited and #Liverpool and #Chelsea
with #Leicester dropping from 3rd to 5th after losing at home to
Spurs. It was an exciting round of games as the Premier
League said goodbye to #ChrisWilder of Sheffield and
NunoEspirituSanto and #RoyHodgson of #CrystalPalace. We
also spoke of the role of the kit man at a football club and how
PepGuardiola had brought all his staff together for a collective
vote of thanks. #JurgenKlopp is having to retake his coaching
award despite proving his great capabilities!
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy and discussed the
wonderful career of #CrystasPalace manager #RoyHodgson.
Roy managed at many levels including the #Switzerland and
Finland national teams and he has also had a career as a
teacher. He speaks five languages. Excitement is hotting up as
both #LaLiga and the #PremierLeague move towards the last
games of this turbulent season. We reviewed the previous
games and looked ahead to what might happen as the race for
ChampionsLeague places almost overheats at the last game
of the season.
**Thousands of migrants have crossed into a Spanish enclave from Morocco after
swimming around a border fence, taking advantage of relaxed border controls in the
North African country.**The trends are clear. Eurostat has studied 1,216 regions – or provinces in the case of Spain – in 31 c
ountries. Almost nine out of 10 will have a higher average age in 2050 than in 2019. Not all areas wil
l age at the same rate. The fastest aging populations are expected to be those located mainly in Ea
stern Europe – the Baltic countries, Poland, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria; and southern Europe
– Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Spain’s Social Security system could be about to change. Negotiations underway with employer
and worker representatives may lead to a new multi-tiered system of contributions for the self-
employed based on annual revenue, as well as new benefit reduction rates for early retirement.
@terrywhitehead discusses #Ceuta #agingpopulations #socialsecurity #Spain #hybridcars #UK #HouseofLords #GPs .....and much more
vincetracy and @ericmalpus discussed the #FACUPFINAL and
the atmosphere with crowds returning to see the game.
Leicester were winners over #Chelsea and the scenes after
the game warmed the cockles of every true #soccer fan
remembering the disastrous helicopter crash at the #Leicester
stadium. We discussed #politics in sport and the #palestinian
flags being displayed at the final. We discussed the intricacies
of the final flourish in this year's strangest of seasons and we
both felt moved by the #AlisonBecker goal for #Liverpool
against #WestBrom. As usual we reviewed the games andpredicted the games ahead
Firstly I would like to discuss the postage system in this country...which is a joke...a
second class letter now costs 65p to post (which in old money is 13 shillings)....BUT what
a lot of people don't realise is there are TWO types of second class letters which go by
size....it could become a LARGE second class letter which costs 88p (just over 17
shillings in old money)......a second class letter becomes a LARGE second class letter if
it is over nine and a half inches long and six and a half inches wide....O.K. so far?....
O.K. I feel better now.......the song this week is from an album I composed called
DooWop Days and is available from my website...the tracks take you back to the golden
days of doowop music ....this track is a tribute to Ricky Nelson who was one of my
favourite stars of the 50s and early 60s.....his guitarist was a guy called James Burton
who also backed Elvis through the Vegas years....I had the privilege of doing eight
concerts with him singing Ricky Nelson classics backed by my favourite guitarist....which
for me gets no better than that.....so here it is my "Tribute To Ricky Nelson"
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy discussed #Ollie McBurney
Sol Bamba before looking at the difficulties faced by the
managers selecting their team during this avalanche of games.
We looked at #SadioMane having himself tested to explain his
poor form. We looked at how players like #Neymar outprice
themselves from the transfer market. Rob told us about
LaLiga president #JavierTebas and .#UEFA plans. Rob then
gave us the #LaLiga lowdown before looking back at the
PremierLeague games which have been coming thick and
fast. We then looked at the games coming up and the #FACup
final
In Spain, as Pablo Iglesias steps away from Podemos...Podemos as a party was born from the 2011
citizen movement known as 15-M, a series of protests in response to austerity policies in place at
the time and political corruption. The emergence of the
group in 2014, led by Iglesias, who back then was a university professor and television host, shook
up the traditional two-party system in Spain. In 2019, Podemos joined forces with the United Left
(IU) and Equo, to create Unidas Podemos ahead of a general election that year.
large groups of revellers chanted 'Freedom' and sang songs as they unleashed their
emotions and boozed on take-out alcohol after the threat of fines of more than £500 was lifted.
There were reports of clashes between partygoers and police in some parts of Madrid as officers
tried to dissolve large gatherings of people without face masks on.
@EricMalpus and @vincetracy discussed
The #FACUPFINAL and the #ChampionsLeagueFinal with great
memories of #BertTrautman and #StanleyMathews and
YorkCity in their halcyon days.. We discussed how #UEFA and
others had not understood the true legacy of #grassroots
football as we looked ahead to the #Leicester v #Chelsea final.
We discussed the difficulties of defining priorities as the
managers try to inspire their teams to finish in the
ChampionsLeague places. We reviewed the #PremierLeague
fixtures then looked ahead to the clogged fixtures ahead which
will be putting players and managers under a lot of stress. Will
fans back in the stadium affect the results?
The elections have been filling the news....the only thing of any note was the member of
the Raving Looney Party who was lined up with the other participants at the Hartlepool
results coverage....he was hilarious....didn't get many votes but he was so funny....If I
lived there he would definitely have got my vote....this is what we need in the world....it's
like the Eurovision when a plonker jumps up out of the crowd and joints in with the band
before the security frog march him off the stage....always good to watch.....I remember
The Rolling Stones many years ago doing a concert and some idiot came running on the
stage from the side and Keith Richard unstrapped his guitar and hit the bloke with it
which sent him straight into the crowd at full speed...after which Keith commented saying
he didn't know whether he was a friend or foe and wasn't prepared to take the
chance....priceless.
Strawberry Field in Liverpool where...and I quote..."John Lennon used to climb over the
wall and play as a child and eventually wrote his famous song about it"......well now you
can obtain a limited edition BRICK from the building for....wait for it....75 pounds......is it
me or is the world going nuts.....it will be interesting to see how many customers they get
from America and how they intend to post it.....I have recently posted some orders for my
DVDs.....postage 4 pounds EACH.....so how much a house brick will cost doesn't bear
thinking about.
As I have said before there is nothing more annoying than a radio DJ making a negative
comment about a record....if they don't like it don't play it....stupid comments cost
sales....and even worse joining in with a record while it's being played....recently Steve
Wright played "Every Time You Go Away You Take A Piece of Me With You"....he said at
the start of the record that he used to sing "you take a piece of MEAT with you".....then
joined in on the record saying that on every chorus which wasn't funny once let alone
five or six times.....records cost a lot of money to make and fans of the artists don't want
to hear an unfunny DJ ruining the song.
I went to Wales last week and spent some time in Anglesey.....it was a beautiful day and I
went to a place called Brynsiencyn which is on the Menai Strait side of the island.....the
Strait was like a mirror and I found a speck and looked across to Caernarfon with it's
wonderful castle with the Snowdon range in the background....and I was the only one
there.....you can certainly feed your soul in that part of the world.....speaking of which I
watched a programme featuring Julia Bradbury visiting Australia's Great Barrier
Reef....magnificently filmed and presented....so it can be done ...so let's have more of
this and less boring chat shows and cookery programmes.
The song this week is from one of my albums entitled "DooWop Days" which can be
obtained from my website and can be streamed from the internet.....the song is a tribute
to a pop star who is sadly no longer with us....Bobby Vee........I had the pleasure of
opening his show on two occasions and he was the nicest guy you could possibly
meet....we hit it off straight away and he was a delight....so here it is "The Bobby Vee
Song"
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracydiscussed
the tragic death of #DalianAtkinson but as the case is still going
through the courts we didn't discuss this too deeply.We
discussed the great #ChampionsLeague semi-finals which saw
ManCity and #Chelsea emerge as an all English final. We
looked back at hooligan element spoiling a genuine and
justified demonstration against the proposed #ESL. This led to
thugs damaging property and endangering the lives of police at
the scene. Rob gave us his #LaLiga roundup with #Messi now
ahead of the great #Pele on 644 goals for #Barcelona.
The Valencian health department announced on Saturday that only 2.64% of the region’s hospital be
ds are now occupied by Covid-19 patients. Put another way: the current overall occupancy of beds
is at 69.29%, of which 66.65% are non-Covid patients.
The Spanish far-right party Vox has committed to a set of demands made by the ultraconservative
Catholic organization Hazte Oír (Make Yourself Heard) ahead of the Madrid regional elections
Researchers have concluded that a rock concert for 5,000 people in Barcelona was not a
superspreading event.
Five Guardia Civil patrols turned up in the town square of Alginet, in the Riba Alta county of
Valencia, after they were alerted by residents who had seen hooded men with guns going into the
town hall building........plus much more
@EricMalpus and @vincetracydiscussed
the invasion of #ManchesterUnited by fans who have been
outraged by the shenanigans of the proposed
ERuropeasnSuperLeague.and the injuries to the police. We
discussed the #PremierLeague sanctions before discussing
what can be done to stop this happening again. There is talk of
Tottenham tripling the wages of #BrendanRogers to lure him
away from #Leicester and #Guardiola's comments regarding
rotation. We discussed the immoral money being offered to
Pogba before looking at possibly the best signing of the week.
HarryRedknapp is joining the cast of #Eastenders!
I have been travelling about in my car recently and listening to the radio hoping to hear a
decent record....but all we get is meaningless songs with repetitive lyrics with a mess in
the background consisting of someone building a shed.....let me hear DRUMS giving us
a solid beat we can tap or feet to!!!......however through the despair I was just about to
switch off when on comes the latest single by Michael Ball....I'm not a fan of his but the
record was the best song and production I have heard for years...I think it was called "It
will always be you" and is brilliant.....so there is hope.....could this be the start of good
music making a comeback?
And speaking of great songs this is one I wrote back in the day for comedian Tom
Pepper.....it is purely none P.C. but did very well at the time.....it describes how lucky
women are to have us.....a chap in America has put a lot of my stuff on line so I have
created an album of similar material of mine and called it "No Taste Required" and can
be found on Amazon and Spotify etc....definitely not for the faint hearted or easily
offended....so here is one of the tracks...."On Behalf of The Lads"
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the #socialmedia blackout ChampionsLeague semi-finals with #ManCity and #Chelsea in the driving seat ....but it's a funny old game saint!
We discussed the fallout from the #EuropeanSuperLeague where the #RealMadrid president is still convinced that he has a binding contract with the clubs involved in the project although #Juventus and the Italians must decide by 21st June
or be dismissed from the Italian Leagues. ....then there was #LaLiga and #Premier League reviews and predictions. Never a
dull moment, eh? https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/rockrupert/episodes/2021-04-29T09_28_17-07_00
Twenty retired French generals have called for military rule if Emmanuel Macron fails to halt the
'disintegration' of the country 'at the hands of Islamists', in an open letter published ahead of next
year's presidential election. ...... The retired officers claimed that France was 'disintegrating with
the Islamists of the hordes of the banlieue [suburbs] who are detaching large parts of the nation
and turning them into territory subject to dogmas contrary to our constitution'.
BRITONS have unleashed a wave of criticism on Spain after it said it was "desperate" for UK
tourists, with many saying the tide is clearly turning on the EU's "anti-British" rhetoric in the wake
of Brexit.
A pre-election debate held at the Cadena SER radio network descended into chaos on Friday
morning, with the Unidas Podemos candidate for the upcoming Madrid regional polls, Pablo
Iglesias, walking out of the studio almost as soon as the program had begun. The left-wing
politician, who recently left his role as deputy prime minister in the national government to contest
the May 4 elections, opted to leave given the refusal of far-right Vox candidate Rocío Monasterio to
retract doubts she had expressed over whether death threats he had received were genuine.
@EricMalpus and @vincetracydiscussed
the #CarabaoCup Final and the allocation of tickets with 4000
given to #NHS workers. Nobody doubts the fact that the #NHS
workers deserve a pay rise but why were match tickets
awarded? The #EuropeanSuperLeague has not gone away
and I referenced a podcast we had made around this subject in
2006.We looked at the #socialmedia boycott and the
PremierHallofFame with #ThierryHenri and #AlanShearer first
to be honoured. #VAR has been in the news again with its
strange decisions. Finally, we reviewed the previous week's
games before looking ahead to games affecting both ends of
the table.
The weather has been sunny and dry for the past two weeks so no doubt any day now
we will be warned of the risk of a drought....forget the floods over the winter which
washed away homes and devastated towns and villages.....if this nice weather continues
we will probably have a hose pipe ban....watch this space
The football saga has been filling the news with clubs and players licking their lips at the
chance to make even more money with a new super league....top of the bill on the news
before going out like a damp squib......was this the end of the world?....listening to the
news coverage it seemed it was.......I know football is everything to many people but
personally I couldn't care less one way or another....when you have so called "fans"
throwing bricks through the windows of the coaches of opposing teams it's time to get
real before the game loses it's way....I played football for six years in a local league but
looking and listening to the rants of "supporters" I Iwould be willing to bet very few of
them have ever kicked a football.........I have to smile at the pub conversations which
always begin with "What we need is blah blah blah".......if they were any good they would
be out playing on a Saturday instead of watching....but there you go...just my opinion.
The BBC are still getting slated over the blanket coverage of the royal funeral....and
Nicholas Witchell is taking a lot of stick with his reading of the "body language" between
William and Harry in an attempt to invent news....Every time I see Nicholas Witchell I have
to laugh as I remember him reporting on the Royals several years ago when they were
skiing and Charles William and Harry were sitting in front of reporters and Witchell
shouted a question to them and Charles not realising his mike was on said "I can't stand
that bloke" and the two sons burst out laughing....I really enjoyed that.
I always watch a bit of TV before I go to sleep as I find it helps me nod off......especially
"Match of The Day" on Saturday nights with the recorded crowds....by the time we get to
the pundits I am away.....but last Friday there was nothing worth watching so I thought I
would try Graham Norton to see if had improved.....it hadn't....there they all were killing
themselves laughing at nothing....with George Clooney as a guest on a screen with
everything he said being greeted by everyone howling laughing with Graham as always
issuing his annoying guffaw.... which actually left me wondering what they are actually
laughing at....how much longer do we have to be subjected to this tripe?....the BBC has
reached a new low.
I went to Wales last week to see if my static was still there....it is just outside Caernarfon
and at last we ca are allowed over the border....while I was there I visited Llanberis which
is spectacular....however I couldn't believe how empty it was....I have never seen it like
that....I walked along the huge lake and literally saw about half a dozen people....very
strange....but very pleasant....hopefully they will keep the border open.
The song this week is about this wonderful part of the world and was the follow up to my
now famous "How To Say Llanfairpwll etc"....it is called The Magic of Wales and is again
sung by my pal Paul Damian.....my tribute to the Land of Song.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the proposed
EuropeanSuperLeague with the six English Clubs forced to

The owners of #Liverpool #Chelsea #ManchesterUnited
ManchesterCity #Arsenal and #Tottenham have had to issue
grovelling apologies. In Spain #RealMadrid and #Barcelona are

Tottenham as a result of the Super League......then there was
LaLiga and #Premier League review and predictions.

In 1838, just three months after the consecration of the newly completed cathedral in

the outrageous plans of #Liverpool #Arsenal #ManCity #Spurs
ManchesterUnited and #Chelsea to form a #European

Real Madrid as their beleaguered manager #Zidane manages
yet another #ChampionsLeague semi-final as his team edged

an important game against #WestHam.
The song this week is one I wrote for wrestler Adrian Street which he used each time he entered the ring....it's called Imagine What I Could Do To You...I once jokingly played it to a record producer at a major label who commented that the world would never be ready for this song....it ended up on Adrian's many TV videos and paid off my mortgage....that was my answer.
YouTube has opened many doors and has given various talents the chance to instantly go worldwide.....so the days of presenting your songs to a publisher....and giving him the opportunity to say "Hmm...er.....it's not quite what we are looking for"....are over.....and you don't particularly need radio play.....and it costs nothing....best thing since sliced bread......the beauty is it's free and you can instantly send your offerings world wide....and the computer technology can give you studio results in your bedroom so unless you are utilising a 50 piece orchestra you won't be needing Abbey Road.....so the publishers can now whistle for their 50%.....as I have always said show business is 10% show and 90% business.
@RobDaniels joined @vincetracy to discuss the phenomena
that exists as groups of footballers and their managers forge
their identities on the pitches in a competition to see who is
best. The creators of these phenomona are led by such
managers as #PepGuardiola #ZinedineZidane #Mourinho
Klopp. We discussed the #ChampionsLeague with reference
to the brilliance of #ManCity and #KevindeBruyne and
Mbappe etc. We reviewed #LaLiga and #PremierLeague
before giving our predictions for the week ahead.
In Spain......“People from the age of six and older have the obligation to wear masks [...] on public
streets, in outdoor spaces and in any closed space that has a public use or is open to the public,” reads
the BOE announcement published on Tuesday.
Until now, regional governments were free to adapt these rules as they saw fit, and many did so
immediately after they came out. Some regions made masks mandatory at all times, but introduced
exceptions for certain situations, such as going to the beach.
In Exceltur, they are extremely critical of the ubiquitous images of illegal parties in tourist apartments in
cities like Madrid and the new rules that require travelers coming over the French border to have a
negative PCR test.
But in the Valencia region, the use of face masks was already mandatory in public areas, including
beaches and swimming pools, regardless of social distance. This law was passed in February and will
remain in force until April 12. Only those in the water are exempt.
@EricMalpus and @vincetracydiscussed the chances of #ManCity winning four trophies this year under
the guidance of #PepGuardiola. We discussed the comments of #MikeArteta after the #Arsenal defeat at the hands of
Liverpool. e looked at the #WestBrom mauling at #Chelsea where the Baggies put five past the Chelsea defence.
The #ChampionsLeague comes into play with the quarter finals taking place.
The Dynamic @DonWoods joins the vicarious @vincetracy to have a rant against #television programmes from #BBC and #itv which are not cutting the mustard! The standard of TV is becoming a joke......there are some decent programmes but you have to search for them by skilfully trying to dodge the cookery programmes or Ant and Dec.....and the talentless Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton with their selection of
stars of stage screen and scrapheap....who they "chat" to about their latest book,play or comeback and have to roar laughing at nothing....then we have multi millionaire Gary Linacre sitting with a couple of football "pundits"discussing a football match we have just watched.....yes old Gary gets millions for his weekly 90 minutes....well worth my licence fee.
The song this week is one I wrote for a dear friend of mine who is sadly no longer with us...."Skiffle"John Lomax who played in one of the first local skiffle groups in the 50s and I saw them on stage in 1958 which was the first time I heard an electric guitar played live......I met John many years later and we became good friends....John was featured in the TV series "Days That Shook The World" which was about the fatal water
speed record attempt by Donald Campbell of which John had rare cine footage....this song was my tribute to him and actually got us a gig in Finland where we went and performed at their national skiffle convention ....so here it is "The Story of Skiffle" sung by John Lomax
