£30m Tipner junction given the go-ahead


Well now. At long last some good news and a sensible housing solution. Making use of the wasteland that has blighted the entrance to Portsmouth for so many years.

Proper, right minded, investment in the Portsmouth area.

Lets hope the whingers keep their mouths shut during the pain that is coming once the changes to the M275 start.

Waterlooville man charged over images – Too Close For Comfort


I have family and grandchildren in the area that this pervert lives.

The magistrates ruled the case was so serious it must be heard at the crown court.

And now he is out on bail ?

I trust that there are significant restrictions on him. Too many times the legal authorities take a lenient path and we the public pay the price when it all goes wrong.

Hold Your Head Up


Every now and again the BBC really rocks.

Yesterday morning while I was working I happened to have BBC Radio 2 playing in the background instead of my usual Radio Paradise. Note, I said” in the back ground”. That was until my ears perked up.

Ken Bruce was playing Argent’s “Hold Your Head Up”. But not just the usual version. Oh no, Ken was playing the album version, complete with extended instrumental break in the middle.

Needless to say I wound the volume up to 11.

So imagine my surprise as I am driving home this morning, having just dropped my wife off at work. Chris Evans was bemoaning the fact that he had suffered a huge dose of show envy.

What was that envy ?

Well, of course, it was the fact that Ken Bruce had played the album version of Hold Your Head Up. So to get over this Mr. Evans decided to play the same track.

So there I was, stuck in my car, parked on my drive, with the volume on my radio turned way up.

Two days on the trot good ol’ Aunty Beeb had hit the gold spot.

What do you think the chances are that they can make it a “hat trick” ?
