Gary Moore
I'm still finding it hard to believe that one of the greatest guitarists ever is now longer here. Yesterday was such a sad day in the world of music when we heard Gary Moore had died in his sleep at the age of 58.
Some so called "newspapers" are giving details of how he died, but how can they when a post mortem has even taken place yet? Get real you ( Read more... ) -

Thought Police and the end to free speech
When is freedom of thought and freedom of speech not free? When you are told what to think and what to say. That's what happened to me at work today.

A warmer start and an easy day at work
This morning the rain had thankfully stopped by the time we all left home this morning and no idiot parking his truck in the bus stop.

Thunderous Roar, Lightning Fast
Yeah! Just had a great thunderstorm. Shame it only lasted a few minutes. Lots of thunder although rather quiet and the lightning didn't disappoint. More please, although it did interfere with the tv picture.
