    We all remember Bill Wyman, bass player with The Rolling Stones, husband of child bride Mandy Smith, and all-round womaniser; a man who lived the rock 'n' roll lifestyle to the max.

    But what about Bill Wyman the treasure hunter?


    Well, its true

    And what's more, he has his very own signature metal detector

    So, lets hear Bill's new single (courtesy of Mr. Swede Mason.):

    Twin Towns

    Welcome to Bradford -
    yep, you're more than welcome to it. 

    Its a beautiful place; even the locals agree.


    In 2002 Bradford Council began their regeneration programme for the city centre - that's 2002; 7 years ago. So, how far through the plan have they come? Not very is the answer, not very. Well, judge for yourself. Here is the the sum total of seven years work:



    But wait; haven't we seen this somewhere before?

    It's quite standard for towns and cities to use developments in other places as the blueprint to their own projects. Normally it is a beautiful, picturesque area that is used as the template. Not in Bradford though.


    Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Bradford -



    Twinned with CHERNOBYL!


    Bradford council have the perfect opportunity to rebuild the city and actually make it into something worthwhile. Look at Gateshead and Newcastle. They also lost out on the “European Capital Of Culture 2008” bid, but instead of moaning about it they picked themselves up and went out and rebuilt a town and a city fit for the 21st Century.

    Come on, get some vision, be prepared to look at what others are doing with curiosity instead of scorn, learn from their successes and failures, and make this a thing of the past.

    Facebook Classics!

    OK, so classics may be a bit of an overstatement. We all like to blow our own trumpet at times. I know what you're thinking - that is one trumpet that is out of key - but I don't care, I'm tone deaf.

    Still, some people have been asking me if I've been writing these down for the ones they have missed. The answer is now yes and I shall post them over the next few weeks.
