Heir

It cannot be easy following in the footsteps of a famously talented and fabulously rich father or mother. The strong likelihood is that no matter how hard you strive, you will never surpass the dizzying heights of your parent's achievements. You probably won't even reach the foothills of that particular mountain. Okay, there are exceptions to this rule but in general the point I have made is surely valid.

Above - who is that walking down a posh London street in  his Jesus sandals? I wonder what is in his plastic carrier bag? Have you got no idea? Look at his face. Does it remind you of somebody who made it big in the music industry?

I am not going to tell you who it is. If you cannot guess correctly, maybe you will have to do a right click and go to Google Image Search.

Perhaps it is daft of me but instinctively I feel sorry for that guy - despite the fact that in the course of time he and his siblings will inherit an absolute fortune thanks to his father's stellar career.

Being Gay

 

Sometimes it’s nice to have a gay old day.

I got to Liverpool early and bought the outstanding remaining pieces of my dinner service from John Lewis. I couldn’t find the cutlery section , as it had been moved. I told the very camp salesman I was in a hurry and he let the charge to the right shelves with a wave of the arm and a merry “ Tallyho”

I met my friend Colin at The Italian Club just on time and we drooled like schoolboys over the army of bearcub waiters on duty, with their heavily dyed beards and big hairy arms .

When Colin payed the bill, one such waiter gave his hand a cheeky caress which made my friend blush Pinkly and made me laugh like a drain.

We went to the Philharmonic Hall to watch the Liverpool Symphony Orchestra play Beethoven Leonore Overture, Sibelius’ violin Concerto with sololist Maria Dueñas and Prokofiev’s Symphony No 5 .

The music was , as usual top notch , but we both were watching conductor ( the floppy haired Venezuelan Domingo Hindoyan) like predatory hawks
