Yep! As usual Heywood Am-Dram put on a damn good show. The latest; My Fair Lady, was great. Here’s J. Brett singing one of the songs from the film of many years ago…the pictures are modern, some of them thoroughly…………………………..

Some days you sort of like the internet more than others. Like today for instance. It’s not the news that today is the 25th anniversary of the first Dot Com registration; or the fact that the ‘net now generates $1,500,000,000,000 … Continue reading →

I read of poor Bernie Ecclestone in the Mail today. He’s given his (ex?) wife $1,000,000,000. Yet, he says, his job is getting oh, so difficult and stressfull. I can understand that – but say; then why bother – stack … Continue reading →
