Madness


Driving In My Car is of course a song by Madness - a cheeky bunch of boys from London - who were in their heyday in the 1980s and early 90s.

Here are the words to the song - and link to Madness on You Tube

Driving In My Car - Madness
I've been driving in my car
It's not quite a Jaguar

I bought it in Primrose Hill
From a bloke from Brazil
It was made in fifty-nine
In a factory by the Tyne

It says morris on the door
The g.p.o. owned it before
I drive in it for my job
The governor calls me a slob
 But I don't really care
Give me some gas and the open air

It's a bit old but it's mine
I mend it in my spare time
Just last week I changed the oil
The rocker valves and the coil
Just last week I changed the oil
 Last week it went round the clock
I also had a little knock
I dented somebody's fender
He learnt not to park on a benderha ha ha

I've been driving in my car
It don't look much but I've been far
I drive up to Muswell Hill
I've even been to Selsey Bill

I drove along the A45
I had her up to 58
This copper stopped me the other day
You're mistaken what could I say
The tyres were a little worn
They were o.k.I could have sworn

I like driving in my car
I'm satisfied I've got this far

I like driving in my car
It don't look much but I've been far
I like driving in my car
Even with a flat tyre
I like driving in my car
It's not quite a jaguar
I like driving in my car
I'm satisfied I've got this far

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride. H/T @LGBNOW pic.twitter.com/HL87yIXXHg — Fred Sargeant (@FredSargeant) August 2, 2023 No doubt about it - the once proud campaign in support of lesbian and gay rights has been hijacked by intolerant trans zealots!

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
