ok, lets get on to the Royal's, you may have gathered I am not a Royal's fan, the German family beloved of inbreeding and killing their wives off (I didn't say that!!!!), I'm not going as far as Mohamed Al Fayed, otherwise they won't let me back in the country again when I go on holiday,,  but c'mon, is there all the need for this fuss over Prince Harry in Afghanistan (Afghanistan, Afghanistan, how many finger's on your hand - where have I heard that line..  eerrr...  anyone ??), well it is a lot of fuss 'n' nonsense isn't it...   there must have been 30 mins of it on the main news tonight, the plain fact is, that there is no other news today..  nothing from the Gaza strip, nothing from eerrr, somewhere ??...  this isn't news is it, this is a 2 second slot of John Craven's News round...   I'm trying to hold my tongue here, but please someone do us a favour and take the Royals and.........................................  , and then, they had 10 mins on Amy Winehouse and her husband (I turned it off!)...  beam me up Scottie..

I was in the changing rooms at the swimming pool... they're the unisex type, where if yer lucky you'll see someone's frilly knickers, but not much chance of that as the lighting has been bust in there for about a month and you can barely see your arm in front of your face as you struggle with your tights in the mini-cubicle that you have been allocated in life coz' you can't afford your own pool.. and nude changing in front of the kids... anywaaayyyysss, next to me (or nearby) there are 2 old fellas who obviously meet up regularly for their lunch time swimmathon, pushing and shoving in the pool as they attempt death defying widths as your are trying to do lengths... so, these old duffers are talking about the usual thing, their dodgy legs, immigrants taking all the benefits (where are they ?? that's what I want to know, every immigrant I have seen is working their arses off on minimum wages on all the jobs the English don't fancy anymore, yet on my local estate there are 10,000. young white British girls pushing prams around claiming benefit for 5 kids, their druggy boyfriends and a dog)... and low and behold, what did I hear, one chap said to the other " I just got a raise in my pension as I've turned 70 ", reply "what's that then ?", "25 pence a week, so I'm gonna take the wife out", and laughing ensued, I must admit it was quite amusing, but, in all seriousness, yes, he said he got 25 pence more as he had turned 70... it must be costing the government more to administrate it , what a load of stingy *******... so I have one message (or 2), let all the immigrants in, there's plenty of room, and don't bother with the 25 pence raise for oldens, its a ruddy insult to people's dignity.. ... my other story being a wasted day chasing Seagulls to star in my new video... little *****, they are unpredictable, don't ever work with animals or pensioners..

 for some reason the Police were after me, and then they had their own film crew, so I was filming them filming me - totally surreal maaannnn..

Police-help!!!

yes, they aren't any use... not the 80's dance act from Manchester featuring Melanie Williams, although most Dance acts aren't any good are they ??.. the long sandwich makers, beloved of the USA, and now frippen well over here in every High Street, pretending to be healthy and full of goodness for the tots.. actually I mean Subway don't I, but they may as well be a Submarine, a U-Boat ramming the inside of your tummy... caught short for something to eat the other day in my local High Street, I found myself looking lovingly at the tasty salad bits in the window, yes window shopping salad, what a delight, clean and lovely, smiley people, youthful low-wagers, told to be nice to you even though they are being paid a pittance... all around me a small group of well behaved teenagers tucking into lovely delightful freshness,, I was drawn in, the smell of freshly made coffee lika muma used-ta maker, I was transformed- not here, but there, into the queue, and what had intended to be a £2. item, once they had finished with me, turned into many extras, of which I did not know the price of, all the time smiling, smiling, coffee, large ?? yes,. yes, yes, they love me they're smiling at me, that's ok, its ok that it is now £8. ,,, coz' its £3. odd for hot a bucket of hot water that has a small 6 penny bit of coffee added in the bottom, and its froffed to my delight,,, then I'm out the door ... **** off they say, your out now, just **** off, we've got your ******' money, get out, ***** off... I find myself with the bread-stick in the street, yes its bread,, a loaf in the bakers is bread but you can get 20 loaves for the price of this bread stick, then , but wham-bam, there are good things inside, so with trepidation I try the tasty delightful Subway long barrow of a sandwich, and woof it down, then seconds later I can feel the throbbing, the throbbing of additives, e numbers, colourants, crap pulsing through my veins, its drugs, they're drugging the masses, its a government plot to make you vote Clinto again. Feckin' ruddy Subway is full of shit, I was high as a kite... proof, before; normal girl minding her own business, healthy living vegetarian, eating no junk, no additives, home cooked healthy food, pasta, veg, fruit, next minute;, Subway down my neck I'm fighting for my life , my legs throbbing like I've been woofing Macdonny's all morning.. is someone suing subway for being a load of feckin' liars, I am..

 AND DIE TRYING

try my new album, its a lot healthier, and once inside your mind who knows what will happen..

all you hear is yoof yoof yoof, what's wrong with this country, the obsession with the ****** yoof in the media, politicians, everywhere... haven't they looked around, there are more older people than kids, and what really pisses me off (yes, I'm going now, here's my ****** high horse), the way in which old people are ignored, not spoken to, talked down to, treated as second class citizens as soon as they're over 60...... what galls me is the fact that the elderly make up the lions share of the population now...and they have been almost banned from TV and media, try turning on any reality show, and presenters, everyone is under 10 years old (all right slight exaggeration)...Its almost like the nation would prefer the elderly to be invisible. and then, if you are over - 30 and female you have to spend most of your time on the operating table (Jennifer Aniston), to get any work.....  It came to me when glancing at an excellent programme about the history of light entertainment and there were so many more older people on programmes, presenting programmes, and probably producing and directing them. Now when people are old and successful, they are the 'elder statesman' of .. blah blah, or the respected 'Queen of' ... blah blah, well, everyone, I want to make it very clear now, I will be getting old, I am probably old now, I have every intention of not being respectful, I don't want to be respected, I will certainly be protesting, campaigning, disgraceful, and probably wet my pants in bed every night.. so **** the boring yoof with nothing to say in their dullard ****** skinny jeans, I'm just going out to get some very baggy dungarees, and I have every intention of soiling them before bedtime.. what make me laugh (ha bloody ha), is that the elderly have all the money, the reason we are one of the richest nations is all the hard working older people running around in their sports cars taking expensive holidays, buying stuff, and the media and record companies predilection with 'yoof', its just laughable, as if 40 pluses don't want to listen to new music, patronising, but worse than that, bad business, rock on daddio, pass my catheter.,,,

another day, another dollar, I know you haven't had any music reviews for a while, well what a treat I have for y'all today, apart from watching Dr Feelgood DVD's back-to-back,.. we have MGMT - do this band take the award for most boring, unoriginal Neil Young Arcade Fire imitators of all time, does no-one have anything to say, are bands to comfortable with themselves that there's nothing to strive for, hopeless no-songers, then Martina Topley Bird, I actually feel a bit sorry for her, she is obviously struggling with her genre, or lack of it! and having to follow 'Duffy', if you thought 'Duffy' was retro rubbish ala Amy Winehouse ( do we need another 'cracked voice' girl imitating Petula Clark, with one song that is 'To Sir With Love', and the other one a rip-off of every soul 60's hit - cliche'd or what ??)... the only thing I would say about Amy, Duffy, and all the other little soul singer girls is, that, at least its going to kill bands(?!) like Girls Aloud and Sugarblabes in the head, and send them off to Footballer's Wives where they should be buried, hopefully it will kill off Simon Cowell's 'Opportunity Knocks' programmes as well. Theeennn, eerr, a girl from Africa (I saw all this - yes!!), called ASA, sorry, I wanted to like it, but no song, a bit dull, nice little voice and all that, but where's it all going ??! then 'We are Scientists', well they aren't and we know they're not, if only they were, they might be DEVO, or Thomas Dolby, immediately forgettable, and I can't even remember what they looked like they were so wallpaper like... ELBOW! sorry lads, I really wanted to like it - but eerr ?? white man blues, not even as good as Eric Clapptedout, no song, piss-poor, uninspired, now residing in the 'where are they now' catagory, I quite liked their early stuff, but c'mon why 4 people can't do better than 1, what is it, do bands form as some sort of thing where each of them has a quarter talent and they think that 4 bits put together will make 1 piece of talent, unfort’ it doesn't work like that, as the bit where they rehearse, fight, argue, is the bit where all the ideas that were the quarter end up as a fag-end on the floor, or eerr, something like that - are you following me?, e.g. the sum of the parts is less than the total chicken egg in the road, that's why I'm not in 'Scientists' as I'm not a Scientist, but at least I have talent , so here is my new album where you can glean all the evidence you need, and there is a 'control' , and a 'placebo' in there to but you have to find it: (and, apart from every child in the UK having to visit Auschwitz now, they should all be made to watch Dr Feelgood at Southend Kursaal 1975, at least it will put them off forming a band like Chas & Dave imitators The Wombats?! what can I say?)

I don't really get time to read any blogs or anything on here, after all, its a bit like Myspace.cok, just endless self-indulgent twutterings from people like me who should be spending more time in the garden.. bbuuuttttt, whilst doing something else yesterday evening I did read some blogs bemoaning the lack of comments / activity from the Columbia / RCA camp in reviewing music... well all I can say is 'what do you expect?',, put your track here and Jed come running, 'I don't think so', it was always going to be the same-old-same-old'. Quite why anyone would be interested in anyone putting their music on here I don't know... and then I read something about someone sending something to Simon Cowell... do you think Simon Cowell is sitting in his office listening to CD's ??? it did make me laugh apart from anything Simon Cowell hates music, can't you tell from watching him on TV, this person is about everything except music, its never been about music for him, ... just watch the endless line of Karaoke future Club entertainers pushed on his show.. quite why anyone would aspire to this stuff is beyond comprehension.. and on to the antithesis of Simon Cowell, although in some bizarre ironic way he might like Simon Cowell, the brilliant genius of John Cooker Clarke, acerbic alternative Rock poet, bard, genius... what can I say... I was glancing at the Sopranos last night, and low and behold on the outgoing sequence, John Cooker Clarke, from one of his obscure 70's dub/reggae crossover albums (anyone know which one ??), yes, John Cooper Clarke on the Sopranos, what a gem.. who could have found and chosen this track, whatever next, Swell Maps on Desperate Housewives, Athletico Spizz on ER, The Slits on House, does anyone get the irony ??!! The only shame of it is that these people have to wait 30 years to make any money!! Well thanks The Sopranos, the story may be endless and a bit boring, a rambling family you can't make head nor tail of, but the music!!!! thanks thanks thanks, and on to ME!!!! I am hoping I won't have to wait as long as JCC, here's my album , please get it NOW!!!

I was just hearing about Lidl, German owned downmarket 'stack-em-high', 'chop-em-out' supermarket chain, beloved of Pot Noodle eaters and strong Cider drinkers, is becoming the shopping place of choice for snobby & well oorrrff people. I went in Lidl (yes I'm talking about Supermarkets everyone - stop reading here to avoid boredom meltdown).. a couple of years ago, and it was full of , yes, rows of Pot Noodles, pallet loads of cheap fizzy coke like drinks, and some very sad looking veg... just to eerrr analyse the market (after Supermarkets are a reflection of our societies aren't they ??) I went into Lidl yesterday,,, and what a surprise, it was bloody great... No wonder all the rich people are going there, isn't that how the rich stay rich, by saving money ?? I came out with sack loads of fresh, no-bullshit veg and fruit for a 10th of the price of 'fly-it-round-the-world-pack-it-in-plastic-and-flog-it-at-extortinate-prices' bastards Tesco's and Sainsbury's, so ***** you Tesco's and friends, I'm going where the in-crowd go - to Lidl ! What I liked about it was that there weren’t all those little Kiwi Fruit things in a plastic pack, on a plastic tray, the source of everything - yes food! was just there, a lot of it grown locally at dirt cheap prices. Supermarkets are the cause of just about every evil in our societies, raping the country, ruining the countryside, ripping off farmers & consumers.... How long my love affair will last I don't know, but in the name of everything good I will keep you informed, whatever the cost to me, whatever the emotional turmoil , whatever the financial implications, I will report the truth from all corners of the Globe, well eerrr... Hastings.
