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.

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.

Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice filled 20 minutes of the news with their usual scaremongering. Then we have Prince Andrews "settlement" with the girl he has never met....I hope they check whether all those millions go to charity and not into the poor "abused" young lady's purse Then we have Charles whose charity is under investigation regarding "cash for honours".....I can't see the problem if the cash goes to his charity. Tom Daley has run and cycled all over the place "for charity"....what is the point? I remember real storms when we were joined buy the tide at a local gig back in 1980. The Winter Olympics.has not exactly been successful for the U.K. athletes....but it's O.K....it only cost 24 million to get them out there. This week I would like to discuss a song from back in the 50s and why I think it is a classic compared to a lot of the stuff we have had to endure since....the song is "Lipstick on your collar" by Connie Francis....I will explain why this song fills all the boxes of greatness.

Don's favourite record of all time ......I feel there's more to this than meets the eye!

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.

On the continuing Djocovic saga....I believe old Novak intends to sue the Australian government.....you couldn't make it up....good luck with that one.......and even worse ..because some people are deeply offended (mainly those under 5 feet) by the sweet we have always known as "Midget Gems" the name has been changed to "small gems" or something....which reminds me of a chip shop in Liverpool when the authorities told them that because their hamburgers didn't contain ham they were mis- described...they were in fact savoury rings.....so the shop put up a huge notice outside saying "our hamburgers are now savoury rings"....that's why we love Liverpool............ I have been going on for weeks about records I can't stand so this week for a change I would like to feature my favourite record of all time....I have loved this song since I was a kid....and despite my rock and roll and jazz roots this song has always remained top of my list....and it is sung in French.....the orchestration and melody make it,for me,a masterpiece......it is the original version of La Mer by Charles Trenet...the fact I don't speak French makes no difference but I know the song is describing the sea......it was recorded in 1946 without all the modern recording facilities which makes it the classic it is.

Here is the Agenda set by Don for this week's chat.... 1.The Tory Party Party.....the witch hunt is on...with the BBC leading from the gutter. 2.The Novac Djocovic Saga 3.Andrew...the artist formerly known as Prince 4.The Chester football ground which is in England AND Wales 5.Celebs who are too "important" to endure being interviewed. 6.The new ferry terminal named after Gerry Marsden 7.Back in the day the BBC refused to play Agadoo by Black Lace as they regarded it as "not credible"....the fact it topped the charts everywhere displays the knowledge of our wonderful Beeb. 7.Worst record ever section.....The Ying Tong Song by The Goons
