PILLS REAL ALE DATABASES AND THE TREADMILL

Same old, same ol.., yes sometimes it seems to be a treadmill as there is so much out these for me to get my head around. The Youtube advertising takes a dive at the beginning of a New Year and that has certainly happened with bells on this time as an almost collapse. I guess that advertisers see little hope in a world full of uncertainty, in Britain and to an extent in the USA the stock markets have not just held up but soared until recently but perhaps a reality check has arrived. I cannot see things changing until certainty is imposed on the financial markets, who wants to waste money if there is none to be spent and thus people like ourselves who rely on the advertising revenue are hung out to dry and you can add to this the fickle Google/Youtube reality which is as perverse as you could expect from a country with trump at its helm.  The shoulder coninues to give aggravation but I just carry on the same and today have added a few mnidv tapes with cine film on them to the database which I have to an extent reactivated and have ordered 20 more tapes so I can carry on with copying the cine collection before the potential lodgement within a larger archive albeit I've been unable to make contact with the person concerned.

 Really we haven't made much contact with anyone save the friends at St Oswalds this morning. You can be assured that I shall continue to load up the archives, even when idiots write stupid comments, there are options like banning comment on clip as, do you know they seldom have any information on what passes as their profile, when there is it is even worse as it is usually some sort of extreme prejudice. Thank goodness for a nice glass of real ale and the prospect of a Rioja over dinner which Mandy is conjuring up as I type while listening to some sounds which recall the happy era of love and peace and perhaps naivety but we thought may reshape the world.Few capture that age as well as Peter Sarstedt and his brother singing as Crispen St John, 'Don't go to India' is so exquisitely set in those times as you float away from your aches and pains of ageing. I'm not sure what we shall manage tomorrow, if the wind isn't too bad perhaps Manchester buses if not then Leeds and Wakefield on Tuesday. The truck fans are not forgotten but I have work to do now. A table full of DVD orders marks the New Year revival in sales. Tonights slide show , well lets go to something hot and exotic my first trip to Sri Lanka in 1980
