March 9 lunchbox



BEEN listening to Led Zeppelin [with the headphones on], while trying to pen a 3,000 report which involves trying to estimate the population of those born in Wales living outside of the UK; English football club web-based television channels and what revenues they generate, Ofcom and EU proposals for regulating web-based TV; a little bit about IPTV... just the run of the mill Sunday evening sort of stuff.

When I was a teenager I was a massive Led Zeppelin fan and when John Bonham [the drummer] died in 1980 I was gutted. I was 14 at the time.

Anyway, not really listened to them for years, until my older brother Mark bought me a LZ album last November for my birthday... one of those compilation things that every band repackages every couple of years.

So where is this going? [well don't look at me!].
Okay, well for me it's a great trip down memory lane... and what a band! They played the O2 concert last year with Bonham's son on drums, and were pretty awesome. I'm listening in to this CD as I type and they really rocked! [wheel chair quickly for me]

Mrs B has been ironing constantly this evening and she has been laughing as I try and sing like Robert Plant.

During a commercial break [I went to the fridge to get a can of Guinness... during the rugby yesterday my father estimated that I'm 75% Irish] we had a little chat about LZ and she said she thinks they are awful, simply awful... even Stairway to Heaven.


Anyway, my 'Levee' didn't break. But I hope we in Wales are not under water tomorrow., terrible storms on the way... and I cannot simply "Ramble on"

THE WALK to WORK THE rain and wind tested by umbrella handing skills to the limit this morning. Down the Taff Trail and the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Sophia Gardens, was looking particularly sad this morning. A cyclist waved as she passed me on the trail, turned out to be work colleague Anna Morrell . She later explained how she dreads passing pedestrians on the trail sporting i-Pods... good to get a cyclist perspective for a change! THE lunchbox: 1 plum 1 organic banana. 4 chicken sandwiches on granary bread 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt 1 slice of Chocolate Crunch made by Plugs of Trumpton PLEASE don't panic it's only a fire drill! Was feeling rather hungry this morning on the account of being all macho and going to the gym at such an early hour. Chocolate Crunch went first, followed by the banana and then t

A podcast on the Welsh Forgetter of the Year. TO HEAR THE BARDS in ACTION CLICK HERE, DIOLCH! BREAKFAST: Very good bowl of Branflakes THE WALK to WORK. SUN was radiating as I ambled down what was a POSTCARDESQUE River Taff Trail this morning. Was i-Podless so had the full symphony of bird song, interspersed with the chimes of the Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle. THE LUNCHBOX 4 salmon sandwiches(tinned variety)with a hint of lemon juice. 1 plum 1 banana 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt. 2 Chocolate digestive biscuits. TRUST ME MY WIFE IS A MAGISTRATE. Biscuits went early, followed by the fruit then the sandwiches just before midday. Saving the yoghurt until later RANDOM THOUGHT 2021: THE opening of the first TESCO UNIVERSITY, where students are schooled in Tescology, is delayed after members of the ANTI-TESCO league chain themselves to supermarket trollies in the offices of the Vice-Chancellor, located at the end of the Frozen Food aisle of the new campus
