Buying horrible birthday presents
I’ve done something a bit horrible. No, I haven’t eaten a raw cockroach. Nor have I read a Jeffery Archer novel. No, this is far worse. Or better. Well, better than the Jeffrey Archer novel.
I’ve bought my wife a birthday present.
Now wait a moment. Think what I might have bought her. No, not the Jeffrey Archer novels, although it was slightly tempting when I was in the shop. And all the perverts out there can stop thinking what they are thinking.
I bought … ( Hang on to your hats) … The Best of Leo Sayer
Featuring such classics as “Unchained Melody”, “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” and “Raining in My Heart”. Praise be to Amazon for letting me buy this without having to go into a shop.
Because? Because the first gig (can I call it a gig?), the first concert she ever went to was a Leo Sayer concert. How funny is that? And I’ll never let her forget. Because I’m horrible. ![]()
btw, the first “concert” I ever went shall remain a closely guarded secret and if the girls and boys I went with blab, then they’ll be wearing concrete shoes, checking out whether Dirty Den is still at the bottom of that canal or not. That is the seriousness of the situation.
Because I’ll be getting CD’s of their “work” for my birthday and I think that would be too much to bear.

RE Dirty Den
He’s not, he appears back in Eastenders alive and well in a few weeks. As you probably already knew ….
