A Split Past

It's does make me worry sometimes...What type of world do we really live in ?
I will admit, I have found the remarks about Margaret Thatcher recent passing pretty awful, how bad can human behavior get? Parties to celebrate her death...Honestly..Is it me ? As you can gather, I think this lack of respect is terrible, and it dosen't stop, only yesterday I recieved a email from a t shirt company, advertising "I Hate Margaret Thatcher" t shirts!, I of course deleted it.Really what is wrong with the world.

Now, you may think I am into politics, and Margaret Thatcher Fan. Well, I'm not really into politics, like many people, I have stopped voting.  Margaret Thatcher is did amazing things that people take for granted, she also got a lot of things wrong, I loved her spirit, and "Anne Robinson" really reminds me of her, without a doubt she put Britain first, unlike the past and current governments.

RIP Margaret Thatcher....You where a great leader.

So whats next.....O..North Korea........What a crazy world....Enough Said!

It's been a while since my last blog and we all seem to be over of winter colds at last, the TA MW radio has been really quiet, and now that we are in mid spring (Thats a joke hear in the UK) conditions will not be so good. I'm pretty please with my 1st serious season of TA MW loggings, and as promised on my last blog, I will include last months logs at the end.

I have managed to get my £11.99p USB radio dongle working via SDR software, it's not a simply task, and I found the solution on how to install the drivers in this month "Radio User". It looks like the dongle can tune from 52Mhz up to 1Ghz, with a gap somewhere. And now, the MW season is over, I will be playing with a bit more, so I hope to report back my findings soon.

Now a quick update, we went to see Eric Johnson in concert (Be was amazing at times, and at times I got bored, but overall a pretty good gig), Took the Kids to see the "The Croods" very good family entertainment, and we watched the Blu ray of  Moulin Rogue, yes we are still going with the musicals! On a sad note, Rubens, the light Indian Curry stall in Merry Hill Shopping has left! I'm gutted, and I will really miss, their Chille Noodle and Chille Chicken Curry.

On the Football front, my side Newport County have made it the to the Conference Play Off  Semi Finals, so I may be a few games off going to Wembley again...Up the County.

Before I sign off, hear are the links to Retro Nouveau 2. I hope you enjoyed the music, again you will find this months offering, a real mixed bag of goodies.Again,I suggest you listen first, then checkout the track listing after, it's simply more fun then! Please feel free to comment.

  1. Bit late on the Thatcher thing but my opinion was both sides should should shut the hell up. The haters should have more respect for the dead and the other side should have had more respect for her victims. She was a politician, and did what they all do. She sorted her self and her friends out and we are just a means to an end. Personally I could not stand the woman and thinking of the money spent on planting her makes me sick.
