I’m not a big Elton John fan

Although I have a soft spot for “I’m Still Standing” as it reminds me of a holiday in Cornwall in 1983… I was 8 and I reckon that’s allowed… Anyroad, apparently he played a gig in Taunton’s cricket ground last week. This is huge for Taunton and the Gazette’s going all out on an 8 page special edition souvenir spread. The only decent concert I’ve ever attended in Taunton (for all I know the only concert Taunton’s had since the Beatles played there in sixty something) was the Senseless Things in the Blackbrook Sports Center. Maybe this will herald the way for big-name gigs in Somerset. Which would give the kids something to do rather than while getting wasted on alcopops and planning how to leave the town…

  1. Now then, no need to be rude about Taunton. And ‘center’ indeed!
    Now I’m ‘jubilado’ I’ll have time to complain about careless young whippersnappers rubbishing their homeland!
    ( no estoy muy en serio, compende?)
    PS You could just about hear it all from Kingston
    PPS And he’s SIR Elton….

  2. Happy retirement, dad! Time to start your blog, walkswithjed.com, no?

    Centre, centre, centre… Shall be writing it 100 times to get it straight, it{s all these american websites I{m doing. it-s insidious i tells ya. and if we{re being strict on these things, that{ll be compRende…

    I can{t find the apostrophe on the keyboard… or the At sign, but that{s not an issue yet… I{m writing this in a cybercafe in Tequila. Sita went off to meet some bloke for an interview and left me to my own devices and after waiting at the appointed cafe for 2 hrs i went to find her but she{d left to interview someone else… hopefully she{ll find me here.

    I have the car and the keys though. I{d skype, but although there are headphones and a mic, there{s no administrative priveleges to install the program. eeh well,i{ll just go to the gazette{s website where they do enough rubbishing of my homeland to last a thousand blog entries. Headlines : Man arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill, Festival of Motoring, Raid drama at County Stores, and of course, Hit by superbug without knowing. When{s LinkUp going online?
