Pure Pride In The One I Love
You know who this is for . She is the one who makes me glow. She Is My Spark. She is My Inspiration. She is my love. The difficulty of this poem is to list her achievements without mentioning her or what she has done, but I love the challenges she causes for me.

Sometimes You Need To Give It Time
I have a pile of 500 or so CDs for sale on Discogs because I will probably never play again. This does not necessarily mean they are bad or I don’t like them, it just means that I won’t play them again and they may as well go to someone who wants them. Although I have vinyl I don’t sell any because I know that some may stick or jump and then things get awkward.

They look at a relationship and will look for something to snipe at which may be differences in social class, income, job type , education , race , age or gender. If people want to find fault they will do. I used to know someone who had two measures for everything, “Too Much or Not Enough” , and if they couldn’t find a fault with someone then they were “Too Perfect so they must be hiding something.

(Return To The Valley Of) Out Come The Freaks
This is the one you need to listen to , YouTube changed the link to the lead piece This was the first song I remember hearing on BBC Radio 6 / 6Music, spun by Phil Jupitus, It may have been at home when I worked at The Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, but this song has stuck with me for close on twenty years.
