It’s on digital radio, never really looked into digital before but this tractor has it in and I’ve learned suffin new - there is alsorts on it.

I don’t tend to download music anymore, there’s no need, so many digital stations for that, I do always seem to fall back onto R4, or LBC for the news though.

Recently I’ve had absolute radio Country on in the tractor, it was on from someone else the other day and I’ve gone a week of long days with out getting board by it so it can’t be to bad!

I lived through all of that era...including the Jam, and they were good, but nothing more than a tribute act to the mod scene. Paul weller was born in 1958 and the mod scene was the early 60s, so he was about4 or 5 years old when the mod scene was about, so they were only a mod band in so much as they replicated the era.

Poorly edited when you were asked to talk about it.

The bands that would have been around during the mod era, that the mods preferred I suppose?

Name them off, although most think I was to young our eldest kid took me to see some big bands, let’s chat about mod bands of your day, music is one thing I can chat about with anyone.

Who would you call the mod bands, the who, the faces? Let’s chat.

I pay mine 100-120 a day for general labouring with a bit a hedgecutting etc.

But this year cant find anyone 

At £120/day cash I’ll come over and labour/hedge cut with you, I’m staying put until the beginning of next month though. If you don’t find anyone in the next few weeks ping me a message. I’ve also got spraying tickets if they are needed.

Excellent punk song for it’s time. Don’t hit the link if you are easily offended.

Had to laugh today, walked the dog then went to my mates for Sunday lunch, we phoned four people on loud speaker, all of them broke down! I’m going to one near me in the morning, my mate is going to another after work tomorrow, I’ve only just replaced the clutch in my van, it’s a good job there’s two sorts of luck or some of us wouldn’t have any at all.

In one of the towns in Stoke there is a ‘hotel’ that was full of drug addicts mainly, a right rough place with people openly taking drugs around the place, on Thursday it was shut down with no notice putting 50 people on the streets of one town, how does that work, it’s gone into administration although SOT council have been paying them eye watering amounts of money to house these people, I can only imagine what the town looks like with an extra 50 people in shop doorways!

Sounds like a good mate 👍

Same fella kicked me about it last time, I guess what lifelong mates are about. He’s a good lad  who talks sense. I’m lucky, he works for a very wealthy man who he’s been with for years so I’m pitched up on the owners land, I’m not going to do much apart from labourer for him for a few days, I’ll have someone I trust to bang it out with. It’s going this week.

Few years back I was not in the best place, post split up, prior to getting into arb machinery.Marine work was going down the pan and life wasn't exactly joyous, though I did have my dogs.

One day on a total whim i bought an A3 cartridge paper sketch pad .

This got filled over the next couple of years, with what some may call nonsense.

Doodles light and dark, qotes from music lyrics in various  scripts and doodles, various   sketches of things I'd seen and done. 

After a while I could look back and reflect on my own testimony, sometimes with fear other times with amusement and understanding.

It became a sort of crutch to bring me back to my base line, let me reflect that, actually life was OK.

I burnt my crutch a few short years ago. Now surplus and very private.

A very special place when needed, but never permanent.

Sorry to bang on Eggs, just  hope my musings may help or give food for thought. 

Take care.

Don’t worry about banging on, I’m a master of it. I’ll sort it, it’s crippling at times, not washing, not speaking to anyone because I’ve no interest in what they have to say, I don’t like the person it makes me. Got the kicking I need off a mate this morning, be up, be washed and shaved, you are coming to walk the dog with me. Off we go as planned when he says, you want to get a grip ya prick! it raised a laugh that I needed. He never was one to mince his words.

Get out and about. Talk to people even though you feel you don't want to.

 

Two suicides in my local area last month, both 25. Men need to talk more. This is a good step.

That’s cheered me up no end.

Sorry to hear this Egger . Hope it does pass . Maybe you need to get laid ? 

I’ve got a woman moving about with me, I’m not sure it helps!

I’ve spoke about this before, I’ve suffered with this bastard for years, and it’s on me again, I can’t work it out, no proper reason to be down, but I am. I’m parked in one of nicest parts of the country, in my opinion, but it isn’t lifting me. It will pass, in time!

Show me where I’ve threatened anyone? I’m not a violent sort of person, stand up for myself, but not aggressive.
