St George’s day is here again and the push for having this day as a public holiday is at full tilt; ala St Patrick’s day. Naturally we like the idea, as its another day off work and all that, but in reality it will it ever happen. It’s odd when you hear other European countries have more public Holidays then us….. This would be one way of showing unity, right?….

This weeks ‘Twofers’ {Which is two tracks from one artist of band}, came from Singer song writer and Club DJ  – Boy George!.…….yes I know, it is a artist named George on St Georges day, kind of connection…you got to excuse my grey cells of imagination – We played Culture Club’s ‘Church of the Poisoned Mind’ and Boy George’s cover of the George Harrison’s classic ‘My sweet Lord’.

As usual we looked at my Comedy show pick for the week ahead……
