THE WEEK THAT'S PAST: I promised new music from Mike Davis
Well, I always keep my promises. Or at least try to. Last weekend he was here for three days from Friday, and we did a lot of recording. No less than five new songs have resulted, and you can hear them HERE.
I am lucky enough to have achieved most of my ambitions in life, but the one ambition that I have yet to achieve is to make Mike Davis a star! I have a sneaking suspicion that as we get half way through the second decade of the 21st Century, that his and my stars are finally right!

Mike Davis is one of British music's best kept secrets. Why he isn't a star I have no idea, and when you hear his music you are bound to agree with me! I have worked in what Berry Gordy once described as the "industry of human happiness" on and off throughout my adult life. Thirty years ago, when I was trying to be the Brian Epstein of South Devon, I picked up a hitchhiker called Mike Davis travelling through Starcross. In all my years in the business he is still the most talented singer/songwriter that I have ever met!

army dogs do not retire just shoot dead
I stood by you, I was at your side in the riots, I smelt out the bombs and walked through mines, I stood by you when you felt alone and away from home, dragged people from wrecks, give a lick and wag, I stood by you at the parade, standing strong and full of pride at the end of service what was my reward a nice garden, somewhere warm, no the army shoot me DEAD. Stand up against the killing of army dogs. So far 288 dogs have been killed, so save them; stand up and be counted; do something today. Don't just sit on your bum.
HOW I WAS NEARLY RICHARD BURTON FOR THE DAY WHEN I WAS AT SCHOOL.
When I was in secondary school I was asked by my teacher to take part in a play. The play was about Cleopatra and as my name is Mark Antony I was to be the lead and kiss a girl. At this thought I rebelled and ran away. Neither the school nor my mum were happy with this. By the way, my mum fancied Richard Burton in the film Cleopatra so that's how I was named Mark Antony. I hated my middle name for some time but I am all right with it now as at least it makes me known apart from the Ghostman Raines bit, which I became after my diabetic coma in another ghostman blog.
VEIL OR NOT? IS IT RIGHT? IS IT FREEDOM?
The veil worn by women is not right in the world we live in but the same was said about wearing the cross, as concern about religious beliefs and the so-called PC brigade not wanting people to be upset. I believe everyone has a right as long as their wish to do it for themselves.
BADGER SAVE US NOW
Black and white rebel against the injustice of killing us by shot or gas. Unlike Syria we will not get goverment people checking on us. Man brought me to the land centuries ago but I bet you would not do this to them. Please support the Save The Badger Facebook page and watch the Simon Jester video.

WHY I CHOSE TO BE A CARE WORKER BY EX-ESSEX WEIRDO
Well, it started when I chose to do voluntary work. I was sent by the agency to help out down the nook in Westward Ho! The home was for challenging behaviour and adults with learning difficulties. Whilst I was there I learnt how to deal with people by treating them how I wished to be treated. After some time helping out the then manager asked if I would like to try out a job at Woodtown House. Woodtown House is for mental health. I went for an interview and was offered a job. At Woodtown I got my NVQ2 in mental health and special needs. I enjoyed my time there. I worked on and off for 10 years, day and night care assistant and at a later date I went to work down the nook, which i really enjoyed. I even got to be deputy manager for a year, and only left due to the closure of the home, which upset me at the time.

Looking for Bigfoot? New Map Shows Where to Search
Reported sightings of Bigfoot — the legendary apelike creature that's been a favorite of cryptozoologists for decades — have abounded for decades. Now, for the first time, someone has created a map showing the places where alleged Bigfoot sightings have occurred.
Joshua Stevens, a doctoral candidate at Pennsylvania State University, used data compiled by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), which tries to document "the presence of an animal, probably a primate, that exists today in very low population densities," according to the group's website.
Stevens converted the BFRO data and, using geographic-information software, plotted 3,313 data points showing where people have claimed to see Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Yeti, Skookum or dozens of other names). [Rumor or Reality: Tales of 10 Creatures of Cryptozoology]read more
