Life in Lincolnshire ~ What’s it Like ?
Is life in in the UK’s fourth largest county any good ?
Well actually, it’s not too shabby !
What is currently highly recommended and what is currently best avoided
Flying Like an Eagle
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs
A dreaded HMRC brown envelope lands of the Welcome Mat at Goldeneye Towers 
Dear impoverished bookseller … yadda yadda yadda … you’ve paid too much income tax we owe you £647.22 
Shredding Like Yngwie J Malmsteen
Storming through Far Beyond the Sun and Trilogy Suite Opus 5, and a great moment when I thought to myself one night “why did I used to find this so difficult” only to realise the implication 
Comments I Cannot Authorize
I get lots of comments on this site that cannot be authorized for various reason. Such as profanity, lewd suggestions and requests (I like them from the girls not so much men), legal problems or stuff copied from other sites etc.
Just recently I’ve had some really good ones with juicy info that I thought I’d better not publish but they were real corkers !
The Local Youths
Drunken screaming teenage yobs at a party !
Not so in my street, a yoof party went of without Goldeneye being disturbed in the slightest.
So perhaps not all young people are yobs
Well perhaps they are it could just be the one’s from the Wybers-Wood Crew that aren’t !
I think I’m getting softer, why even Leggy is OK 
(OK= highest possible praise for anyone under 35)
Flying Like Icarus
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs
Phone permanently engaged, not even going to call queue !
Where’s my moolah and how do I get it back 
Changing Over Affiliate Networks
Having to edit every page on one of my other websites because abebooks decided to change affiliate companies - loss of money and loss of sanity - somebody rescue me or at least stop the bus - I wanna get off !
The Lack of Sun
Where is the summer - enough of the wind and rain already !
Bookselling
Throwing really good books into the garbage. Fine first editions in jackets tossed into the trash (one with £50 pencilled in it) because they are down to 1p on Amazon - dreadful !
Not Having Pamela Anderson as a Girlfriend
It’s not fair
It took a week to get over Pammy on The Sunday Night Project do women really look like that !
I forget, it must be my age
I could have blogged another 2 stories about her this week as well but I felt neither my constitution nor, more importantly, my regular readers could stand anymore.
I hope who ever you are and where ever you are you share my good fortune and not my misfortune (trivial as it is) and wish you all well, unless that is you are:
Tommy Lee
Gordon Brown
Paul Gilbert playing the intro to Colorado Bulldog
In which case I hate you. I cannot believe there is anybody out there who does not know the intro to Colorado Bulldog as performed by the master of shred Pablo Gilberto but just in case here are two videos !

PS
I know about the mistakes in this post but it takes so long to embed the video I’m not going to edit them out !
PPS
I just went to look if there was a DVD that featured the first video and this post was on e the first page of Google results 6 minutes after posting - staggering
It used to take a week or two, sometimes months for some sites

Rod,
Great post fella, you forgot to mention the dreadful news about Kiss not recording another album unless they put an end to downloads and the like.
Here’s to modern technology then

Rod,
The Witches feel strangely drawn to Paul Gilbert, if it’s not his poncho then it’s got to be his guitar!
As to Ms Anderson, well we think it’s just laziness on your part, that and the fact she heard you were florist phobic

I am distraught at the news there will be no new album by Kiss
Life must go on I suppose, it certainly will for the music world !

I too feel strangely drawn to PG ! In fact, I spend more time with his work than I do with Pamela Anderson’s ‘work’ - perhaps that’s the trouble
On a note of clarification, I would stretch to buying flowers for Pam !

Rod,
I would stretch to buying flowers for Pam …. this is an outrage and yet we feel some satisfaction that you wouldn’t rule out stepping into a florist on behalf of at least one woman…. mind you that puts Mother, the Witches and all your female confidantes into the chopped liver category
