You know when you are a kid… and you have all those people on TV who you get used to and see every day or every weekend.? Like Phillip Schofield and Sarah Green, or Timmy Mallett, well from my younger years at least. They always seem almost like invincible gods who will never change. In the case of the aforementioned three, they haven’t really (apart from Mr Schofield’s hair colour). I have been burnt by this way of thinking before. Back in 1999 ish, I was channel hopping and stumbled across a channel Five programme about iffy porn, like Eurotrash, but it was hosted by none other than Trevor and Simon.! The classic two fill in comedians from Going Live (”We don’t do duvets”).
Now weird as that was, imagine my utter horror whilst watching cheap shitarama Sky channel ‘bidupTV’ to see a man who looked remarkably like Peter Simon who used to present ‘Double Dare’ (also on Going Live) trying to flog the nation a range of horrible looking watches and cameras that not even Lidl would stock. Sadly it did indeed turn out to be Peter Simon. The voice was impossible to ignore. My how the mighty have fallen.
Actually, looking back over all those childhood memories another person pops up who has changed very little. He was THE voice of Camberwick Green, Chigley and Trumpton. Mr Brian Cant. He also presented Playschool and Bric-a-Brac, some of the most diverse bits of kids television we had back in the 1980s. Certainly one of the kings of children’s entertainment.
…and so the world continues turning…
Or does it. Without saying too much, something has occured in my work life that has upset the balance of my mind. It all relates to music.
How many of us enjoy music as much as we can, different genres, ages, speeds, beats all sorts of wild and wonderful aural numbers. Now imagine that that sound track to your life is taken away by half of the time you are awake. What a terrible thought. Well that is what has happened to me. My working life has now changed for the worst and I no longer want to continue working where I currently am.
Time to check out jobsgopublic.com again I guess.!
