Are You Being Served?

Are You Being Served?

I've been up all night, unable to sleep thinking about the prospect of an early retirement and a healthy pension, enjoying myself on my yacht in the sun; let's face it every dog has his day and I've always loved Turkey.

These are just some random songs I like in no particular order, if I may have your attention.

They mean an awful lot to me, I hope they mean something to you, the sound quality isn't great but when you watch the video too you should understand, I'm happy to let others Judge.

Judas Priest - Breaking The Law (youtube.com)

I've always admired the Dirty Harry franchise, all the other cops were scared of him, he could get into trouble working the Subway on the late shift but he never worried about the pension and the Chief Inspector always let him carry the can, candidly.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Bad To The Bone (Dirty Harry Tribute) (youtube.com)

I love this song, this is the original although it's been widely covered, It certainly deserves to be. The impression I get from the video is that it's a lament about how some people reckon they own the streets and underestimate the brilliance and madness of the working classes.

Cherry Ghost - "People Help The People" (youtube.com)

The Stereophonics are great 

Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow (youtube.com)

This is a song I came across on Spotify, now I'm a huge fan of the band.

Teenage Bottlerocket - Bigger Than Kiss (Official Video) - YouTube

The next song reminds me of my brother in law who used to got to Rock City in Nottingham before becoming a respected Stress Engineer doing secret work in the Aerospace industry.

Teenage Bottlerocket - Headbanger (Official Video) (youtube.com)

I thought I'd take a break from Rock music and pay tribute to my dear mum, whatever arguments we've had over the years we're still a strong family. Listen carefully to the next one.

Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A Singer (youtube.com)

And one for my dad, a very proud man. He's especially proud of his family's long record of military service, he was always ready to shed blood for a noble cause.

Al Green - I'm Glad You're Mine (Official Lyric Video) (youtube.com)

Here's one for my favourite Quack Psychiatrists; it's a sad song but I like the lyrics and the vocals are so clear and precise, as they are in all these numbers.

Lumberlung - YouTube

I think some of you may have preferred this one, it's on a similar theme.

Gimme Back My Dog (youtube.com)

I'm going to end this post soon, dear reader, just a few more from me.

Booze & Glory - "London Skinhead Crew" - Official Video (HD) (youtube.com)

And on a different theme, you've got to love the British sense of humour.

How Green was my Wood

  How Green was my Wood Well, this is it, my inaugural post on my new blog and I'm going to start with some sad news from my neighbourhood; a murder of an as yet unnamed person at the railway station a few hundred metres from my home this morning. I don't know if the problems of inner East London are moving ever outwards but with events over recent years it certainly feels that way to me. But I don't want to dwell on news that will be easy to follow on the internet, with this post and maybe one or two further I hope to introduce myself a bit better, contemplate my reasons for starting a blog in the first place and hopefully interest at least somebody enough that they will return to read more of my posts. My name is Robert or Rob for short and I'm nearly 52, a native of Romford. If that sounds a bit like the opening line of a dating profile I should warn you that I don't do Americans; they're all over paid, over sexed and unfortunately not over here.  I was a you...

Dances With Wolves

  Dances With Wolves My second post! I checked my vital statistics and decided it wasn't time to sound the Last Post just yet, much as I felt like it yesterday. I hope with   this post I can explain a bit better some of my experiences since entering the mental health services as a 'client' (yes I know we all pay for the NHS one way or another if we're able to) but as far as I can work out I'm just a Job to them and they've certainly tested my patience sorely at times over the last fifteen years. It appears to me that the purpose of the average (choose your own context) NHS Psychiatrist is simply to keep everyone well (by that I mean taking antipsychotics) and any diagnosis will do as long as you're no bother to them. For a long time I was diagnosed as having something called Delusional Disorder because I believed that MI5 were out to 'get me', although I've also been told there was nothing really wrong with me or I had Schizoaffective Disorder or...

Just Because You're Paranoid...

  Just Because You're Paranoid... If you got the money we got the sound, you put it up we'll put it down Sorry folks this is another post about mental health and conspiracies so it should be fun for someone incorrectly diagnosed as a Schizophrenic like me. I've been considering events in the run up to my mental health crisis and subsequently and have come to the conclusion that NELFT and possibly other health authorities run a barely legal programme to keep 'clients' on their medication by fair means or foul by harassing them using their families, employers, po po and their own incompetent staff who not only am I expected to pay for but also tolerate. Because they have access and control of your mobile and computer (see previous post about how worthless your right to a private life is) they can essentially make you a persona non grata with anyone they choose, thus denying you a proper legal resolution to their crimes, even if it's only to get them to cease and d...
