Don't Turn Your Heater Down


 
Autumn is definitely back again, the trees are a glory of different colours and the atmosphere seems to have constant dampness in the air.
Here in the UK our Big Six Energy companies who control the power have started their annual remorseless price increase for us consumers. They really are a bunch of inconsiderate, fraudulent charlatans with no shame. I wish it was that simple to say ‘bollocks’ to them all but clearly it isn’t as we all need gas and electricity to fuel our modern world. Then the  Tories finally got their wish and part-privatised the Royal Mail leading to a mass scramble for shares and the tainting of my  political beliefs as I fell along with the crooked hedge funds and city capitalists and bought a few for myself to maximise a quick gain on the profit margin. I sold them back after a week and I now want to move on again and hide my shame !
Breaking Bad finally ended after six series and I was as amazed as ever by the acting and the great writing that made the show one of the greatest ever made. Homeland and The Walking Dead have returned to lessen the blow and see me through these darkening days.
This week I saw the return of Graham Parker with The Rumour touring Britain together for the first time in around 30 years or so. Considering how old they are now it was a really good gig and they are obviously still loved dearly amongst 40,50,60 year old music fans judging by the large turnout in Leeds on a Tuesday night. It led me back to Mr Parker’s classic songs and my soul shoes have been on all week since the gig.
 
Enjoy
