Hi folks,

Blues on Tap at the Timberlock in HullSwung on to the old guitar and ambled into town (Hull) for two nites last week: Friday nite at the Reindeer pub and Sunday nite at the Timberlock Tavern. Great nites at both venues but the Timberlock was pretty full and I took a pic of the performers’ eye view with Andy and ‘fingers’ Shelton in full flow. As you can see it was a packed audience and the landlord gave us a repeat booking for Sunday 18th November. If you live near Hull docks make sure you get to the show.

Interesting note for locals that I came across. Some years ago I took a doctorate at Sheffield University and so I automatically receive the University magazine for ‘alumni and friends of the University of Sheffield’. Actually on this edition the cover features Eddie Izzard finally collecting his degree after dropping out in the 80s. However, it was gratifying to see in the section on ‘notes and news’ that in the 1950s that great local jazz pianist Leo Soloman took a BSc in Mathematics (1952) - when a degree was a degree unlike the worthless scrolls handed out like confetti today. It states that he was a ‘former musical director of the University rag show’ and ‘is now Chairman of the Grimsby, Cleethorpes and District Youth Orchestra and musical director of GCDYO Swing Bands’. Keep it rollin Leo.

Just one sad note, I, like many others, was really sorry to hear from Les Worrall that he has closed Faldingworth Live. I will really miss it - but always remember it with great affection and I will be keeping in touch with Les. See you around.

    Hi Steve
    Glad the gigs are going well. Stumbled across your blog in my search to find out the latest re Faldingworth Live. Like you, I was pleased to be a resident performer with both my bands, Helian Keys and Wild Wolds Women and we were very sad that Les decided to call it a day. Particularly because he had originally hoped to keep it open until Christmas, but, personal reasons forced him to close it early. We enjoyed playing there as well as other ‘noisier’ gigs. It was great to get people who really enjoyed listening carefully and we got some great feedback from Faldingworth as I am sure you did. If I hear any more I will mail you if you let me know your email address. Or send a message via myspace…(Have you got a myspace site? If not, you should check them out as they are useful and are free!
    Best wishes, ‘Rockhen’

    There was this guy see.
    He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
    Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
    While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,

    “Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”

    Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,

    “Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”

    “O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”

    A few moments later…

    “Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”

    O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”

    A few moments later…

    “DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”

    “O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”

    A few moments later…

    “Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

    Новый способ давления на кандидата на пост Главы г. Химки

    Новый способ “наказать” тех, кто посмел участвовать в выборной кампании не на стороне действующей власти изобрели правоохранительные органы г.о. Химки.
    Руководствуясь не нормой закона, а чьей-то “волей” сотрудники милиции решили “проверить” все фирмы, внесшие денежные средства в избирательный фонд неудобных кандидатов.
    Начались “проверки” с телефонных звонков - где директор, сколько человек работает на фирме. После чего последовали “письма счастья” с просьбой предоставить всю бухгалтерскую документацию, учредительные документы фирмы, и даже, план экспликации БТИ.
    Такие запросы химкинским фирмам рассылает 1 отдел Оперативно-розыскной части № 9 Управления по налоговым преступлениям ГУВД Московской области за подписью начальника подполковника милиции Д.В. Языкова.
    И всё это в то время, когда Президент дал прямое указание правоохранительным органам о прекращении всех незаконных проверок малого и среднего бизнеса. С это целью внесены изменения в Федеральный закон “О милиции” - из статьи 11 этого закона исключены пункты 25 и 35, на основании которых ранее правоохранительные органы имели право проверять финансово-хозяйственную деятельность предприятий.
    Видно, об изменениях действующего законодательства местные правоохранительные органы не уведомлены. И не смотрят телепередачи с выступлениями Президента.
    Может быть, эта публикация подвигнет их к исполнению указаний Президента, а также к изучению и соблюдению действующего законодательства
