I was stooging aimlessly about the manor recently when up ahead of me I noticed a mother and child engaged in a spat. The child was staring mutinously at the pavement while the mother was fairly giving him chapter and verse on some transgression or other.


Unbidden the opening bars of Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down came into my head, I chuckled at the appropriateness of the internal soundtrack.

Imagine my astonishment as I drew alongside them and the boy slowly raised his head fixed his parent with a baleful gaze and said 'Mummy you can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won't go back down to school, forgotten reading book or not'.


Well I carried on sauntering but but with a renewed bout of chuckling ( the pair heard me and paused in their showdown, I like to think I brought about a truce but I didn't hang about to see) while marvelling at the coincidence of it all.


Later on I popped into a local and after several pints of premium lager and a brace or so of vera and phils I took to musing on the incident.


I judged I had been too hasty in my conclusion of crude coincidence and that surely this was more.


So much more.


I realised this was a power, a gift if you like, possibly a very low level super-power that I should use for good. My good.


This is where I am seeking the help of the good burghers of the EDF.


What I'd like you to do is to give me details of any incident that has occured in your presence, I will lay my hands on your post and tell you the song that was going through your head at the time.


It's an oppotunity to get in on the ground floor of what could be an exciting business opportunity in the world of hoodoo and superstition.

Just to be clear there is no payment for any contributions, think of it as being for the greater good.


Of me.


Anyway try and do your best as I'll probably be 'Denning' this at some point.

I was thinkin a 100K for 15% of the company.


The money would in part go towards some hand-tooled pillar-box red brogues, a couple of bespoke ostrich skin frock coats and a part-time henchman.


Oh and setting up training sessions for people who want to start up by themselves in the pyschic tune-divining business.


I'll mug up a bit on Scientology and roughly base the programme on that, I mean that old mutha Hubbard made an absolute mint on his diuretics so there's obviously a market for just this sort of lark.


I reckon that woman in the Den who resembles the late Lux Interior would be willing to pony up the scratch.

Don't ask me why, just a feeling.


So get on board with me on this one and I'll make sure Duncan B and Pasty-faced Pete get to hear all about the EDF


Thanks.

I dunno, it was a long time ago but i remember William was sounding like he was gonna top himself, Wendy was trying to flog moody M&S tights, Freddy had acne, as usual and all the geezer on the box could say was that were just hooligans, me, I just didn't care, I loved Mark Bolan et al.

Alan M sadly tou haven't been paying proper attention to the sounds in your noggin, the actually song I'm getting is Alone Again Or by Love.


It seems the 'fluence was weak and you mistook it for Alone Again Naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan which you then misnamed as Nothing Rhymed.


It's nothing to worry about, we Mind-Song-Divinologists see this sort of thing all the time.


Jeremy well done, you get the early adopter discount - tell your friends.

Oh happy day! Welcome back HB, tho' this new enterprise of yours doesn't seem too far removed from your 'Evil Genius' tack of a while back. Anyways, I recall seeing this scrawny posh geezer somewhere between Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, and that got me to thinking...

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
