The European Perspective #166

This week's European Perspective is a special dedicated to my friend and colleague Eric 'Soundman' Arthur. Many of you will know Eric from his excellent Dividing Line show, Love Letters, which is off the air at the moment due to Eric suffering a major stroke a few months back. I'm glad to say that Eric is now recovering, and what better way to hasten his return by mangling his show's concept - live recordings - so heavily that he'll want to rush back to stop me.
For the first time this week I've collated the playlist by putting a 'shout' (isn't that what the young people say these days?) on something called 'Face Book' (I think), so at least the music is quality. Thanks to everyone who chose songs...hope you all enjoy seeing your names in lights (so to speak), and Eric - enjoy the show, guv!

2012-10-10 – Employee visits SA for the first time

Recent e-mail exchange – Names removed to protect the innocent
 
A work mate has been sent by work from the UK off to South Africa.
The trip included a 5* hotel and lifts from home to Heathrow and back. Collection from airport, First class Virgin flights, airport lounge access.
Anyhow read the e-mails between him and his boss.
They start out just enquiring about his trip, in a caring way!

I have to confess boss………………..I tried to smuggle an extra 200 cigarettes in to the Republic of South Africa and I was penalised a whopping 239 Rand and got a slapped wrist!!  L
 
239 ZAR == £17.50

2012-10-06 Manvers Inn, Radcliffe-on-Trent

I like it here and the place has a great vibe. A small room where we are all packed in.

 

I was using my iPad for the lyrics for the first time in an open-mic environment. This worked well, but need to practice what happens when I get to the bottom of the page!!! I may get one of the dedicated holders for it so it is really secure.

 

There is a bluetooth hardware/software solution that I may investigate, but knowing me I will look to make something!

 

• Please Read My Letter - Plant/Krause
  
• Pinball Wizard - the Who
  
• I'm not in love - 10 CC. Did not really do it justice and have played it better before
  
• Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin, feat. Rich on Harmonica, wedding singer or Lounge Lizard version if you prefer!
  
• Comfortably numb - Pink Floyd. First time I have played this, went well
  

 
Till next time.

Played

Please Read My Letter – Plant/Krause version
50 things to do before I die – Jon Chapman

04/10/2012 - spam.....

Now we all get spam and fishing e-mails. The internet providers and e-mail clients try to protect us from them and generally do a great job.

So we all get legitimate e-mail that falls into our providers or e-mail clients “Spam” folder, so while looking for one legitimate e-mail, I happened upon this spam mail!

This is different from the normal, get a bigger willy, last longer type or you have won a fortune in the Guano state lottery! (if you must know well you don’t know me)!

So what is wrong with this e-mail.
a) I have never driven any form of vehicle in New York
b) I have never been to New York
c) I was elsewhere on the date and time listed and I can prove it!
d) How did they link this ticket to me?
e) What was I committing this offence in or on?
f) How fast was I actually going? I do not need statements that we are all travelling at x miles an hour around the sun, as that may piss off the NY police!
g) I cannot comment on the layout of the form, but suspect its bogus
h) I am not Jon Mason, if he is real and this is his ticket, he had best get in touch with them….

Should I be worried that the mighty extradition arm of the US state department comes for me and if I ever visit the fine state and city of New York, will I be arrested at the borders for an un-paid speeding ticket, because we all know how petty they can be.
