JIM DIDN'T FIX IT FOR ME

I remember years ago Dad wrote to Jimmy asking for help.
I really can't be sure but I think it was to do with my expulsion  from Warwick School(see Wikipedia)
Whatever it was that Dad asked him he was unable to help and somewhere I have his handwritten reply.
I'm really glad now with hindsight that I wasn't invited into the Jim'll Fix It world or God knows what might have happened?!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching the endless clips of Sir Jim tonight on telly he looks repulsive,I guess he always did really,but he was larger than life wasn't he,and he obviously got away with it. He for sure is not the only one. Let's focus on that now, Jim's gone and will never be made to pay. Yes his estate will almostly certainly bear some of the expense of the impending court cases but we should concentrate on the current situation and how rife this sort of activity may still be because let's face it, nothing has changed. Celebrities are everywhere and our young seem to know no better.
As for Lance Armstrong, the other fallen angel this week, well, if you win 7 tours, it can't be all about drugs can it?Can it? If so I want some!
I find his silence interesting.
Cheat that he most certainly seems to be according to his other 11 teammates who all admitted to taking the same drugs????????????? I think there's a story there that has yet to come out.

There, not so painfull blogging again! (Sorry, that sounds condescending, but not intended.) Next stop another EBB gig? (But some place/time I can get to - Isle of Man is limiting!)

One wonders why/how these people think they can get away with it - and, more worrying, how they did for so long...

Been meaning to stop by and say hello for some time, since the last time I stopped by, too long ago. But life gets in the way and months have gone before I know it. Is that in some way connected to getting old? We are you know?

And that brings me to a complaint, please, why did you post your picture? I am now dreading walking into my own bathroom for fear of the realisation that awaits me in the mirror I look in but never see in. Cruel of you to remind me.

As for the demon that gave you doubts about posting on your own blog, you do surprise me, he was only using you as an easy target for his frustrations. He can’t shout at (attack) who he would like to so you get it. Let it pass and should it happen again remember that if you feed a stray it will always come back. So don’t feed it.

I can’t say that I agree with all you have written (did I ever?), but that does not mean that you don’t write sense that is worth reading. I promise to try and get back more often if only to poke you with a sharp stick and get you to write more, even if I don’t agree with it.

Love you all and hope you are all well.

Nothing to do with your last blog, but can you share why EBB seemingly is to play no more as a band, live or recording?

I've seen Edgar on his own, and whilst I enjoyed it I miss the power of the music! Although a saw EBB a fair few times in the late 70s-80s, I'd moved to Isle of Man and didn't get to see the gigs 3-5 years ago (one I had planned to was cancelled!) - but Live at Rockpalast was(is) enjoyable.

25 years ago there was a suggestion that EBB would be recording again, and the same was said on the Rockpast recording!

Get a new singer to replace Edgar who is doing his own thing. He disposes of people like they are MacDonalds wrappers so prove you can be recycled! Do your own thing Steve - SBB - Steve Broughton Band sounds good to me!!!!

I don't think he has his own thing. Don't know much about the real details but I do know that he wasn't disposed of by Edgar at all. The rest of the band got sick of his alcoholic behaviour and simply stopped playing with him. Macdonalds wrappers can't be recycled, they're contimated with old food.

Oops, I meant to type contaminated. An apt word by all accounts.

What a nasty thing to say about Steve. I happen to think he has a lot to offer & has a very soft mellow voice unlike the aggression of Edgar so they both have different qualities in song. I do not think it was Steve's drinking ( who said he was an alcoholic apart from you?) - Steve's drinking was the excuse given but I think rather it was Steve's honesty. I have learn the hard way that you do not get second chance if you p Steve off which is a shame as we all make a bad call but believe me Steve is a nice guy who likes a few beers & does not get all anal about it over his cup of tea.

What an odd paragraph. You seem to be answering your own question there.

His drinking was the 'reason' given, not the excuse, and therefore the people who gave that reason are among those who have spoken about it. You don't need an excuse to leave a band, you just leave - it's not school!

Saying that somebody is alcohol dependant is not an insult. Although according to you, Edgar and the rest of the band stopped playing with him because of his honesty? Intersting theory.

Wash your curly hair at the very least two days in a week.
Likewise, using imported shampoos and conditioners from a
tropical country when your climate is cold and temperate
is not such a good idea. It is designed for
professionals so you know you're getting top performance.

Look at my weblog: hair products
