The Avengers Theme

I do love 60's theme tunes and one of my faves in partcular is The Avengers Theme   by Laurie Anderson and hence here is my post midnight music.

I would love to see that show again from the beginning right through to the Purdy days.

So LJ folks, whom is your favourite Avenger lady? Mine has to be Emma Peel.

A Folky Morning

The morning song is by Linda Perhacs and the track called Parallelograms from 1970.

Enjoy.

WTF - One Rule For Some

Unbelievably MP's and Lobby journalists still enjoy £1-a-pint subsidy to the tune of £5.9 million-a-year.




Down right scandulous , i don't get that kind of reduction on my ale!

Velodrome Dave

I posted the wrong video this morning, Avengers theme tune, instead of the Linda Perhacs acid dripped folk tune with the middle spaced out section. A superb piece of acid folk from 1970.  Now updated with the correct track.

So apart from that, this morning when i arrived at Pinnacle for the bike thing it was just an induction morning filling in paperwork and just going through health and safety. All stuff that should be second nature to anybody working in a shop or industrial situation. Having previous experience working in a shop as a branch manager many years ago the health and safety aspect is second nature to me.

Oh and a friend of GC's , another David, has nicknamed me "velodrome Dave". Thanks huh!

We had finished just after midday , so i popped into 'Spoons for a pint of old USA ale Ten Barrel OG IPA (5.5 % ABV) and on the way to Morrisons, a pint of Hopdaemon Anzac Ale (4.6 5 ABV) at the Paper Mill.

Tomorrow trip to Deal for more mystery shopping.

More Acid Folk

So more acid folk music, as i am in that kind of mood, with a band called Caedmon and a track called "Sea Song" , recorded in 1978.

Lest not forget the band Trees and their song "Black Widow".

Enjoy.

A History Of Ideas

Fascinating programme on BBC Radio 4 which i have just listened to called "What Does It Mean To Be Free? This is what it says about it on the Radio iPlayer.

"A new history of ideas presented by Melvyn Bragg but told in many voices.

Melvyn is joined by four guests with different backgrounds to discuss a really big question. This week he's asking what does it mean to be Free?

Helping him answer it are philosopher Angie Hobbs, criminal barrister Harry Potter, neuropsychologist Paul Broks and theologian Giles Fraser.

For the rest of the week Angie, Giles, Harry and Paul take us further into the history of ideas with programmes of their own.

Between them they'll talk about Isaiah Berlin's distinction between positive and negative freedom, JS Mill's thoughts on individual liberty and the state; what neuroscience has to say about the age old philosophical debate about Freewill and whether freedom is over-rated as a political, moral and psychological concept."
