Hey guys,

I don’t normally post stuff like this here. I tend to try and keep it more of music only page.

But sometimes you see something, and it needs spreading about.

Obviously I’m lucky enough to have been born with a functioning brain, so when the Media says Countries like Iran, North Korea & Libya are the enemy, I’m pretty aware that’s it’s probably the reverse of that.

This film was shown on North Korean TV to their citizens, and completely sums up Western ‘civilisation’ in 90 minutes. It truly is incredible.

Hope you’re all well.

Germany Treatment, Film Soundtracks & Isle of Wight Festival…

Posted on 1 Comment

Prost!

I don’t have a lot of internet availability in Germany, but I’ve managed to get some wifi for a few minutes.

I’m over in a town about an hour from Stuttgart getting treatment on my leg, and my spine.

Physically I’m a bit of a mess. When a woman that treats people that have been in wheelchairs for 30 years, looks at your spine, and says “Wow!”, you know you have issues.

I have/had vertebrae that were out of place and a spine as crooked as a politician. The ‘problem’ is, after years of playing through pain, and 5 surgeries, my pain threshold is through the roof. While that sounds like a positive thing, it isn’t.

Because I learnt to ignore the pain, I never did anything about is. Just got on with it. So 3 of my vertebrae, one rib and my sacrum have been completely in the wrong place for the best part of 25 years.

Yesterday I had all those vertebrae moved, and put back where they should be, while concious, and with no pain relief. If I had to describe the pain, it would be in BLOCK CAPITALS and contain quite a lot of swear words.

My back in agony, but my posture is correct and after another treatment today (that I’m dreading), I’ll be fixed and painfree for the first time in living memory.

Another thing, a bit random. When I woke this morning, I walked down to the hotel lobby to get tucked in to some food. I was quickly pointed towards the garden…where I saw this…

A leopard just pacing around the garden…

Just rolling about…

ANOTHER. NORMAL. DAY.

Yesterday, they played a film here in Germany. It was a film about the new technology they’ve been developing to regenerate spinal columns and muscle fibres.

The film features Windsurfing World Champions, Surfers, NBA Basketball players like Chicago Bulls Joakim Noah, and yours truly. Remember Who You Are was used as the main soundtrack of the film. Was pretty amazing to watch a film, in another Country, using your music. Very proud.

On the music front, I’ve been confirmed for this years Isle of Wight Festival. I’ll be playing on the Life’s A Beach stage again. As soon as I get the times, I’ll post them up.

I’m off to chill in the sun. The calm before the back breaking storm.

Tomorrows G & Tippers Show…

Posted on Leave a Comment

Hey all,

I’m back in the studio this Thursday after a month away with a broken leg. It’s still broken obviously, but now it’s full of metal, I’m ok to get into the studio.

We’ve got a few new features including a brand new phone prank called ‘the interrupting Spaniard’. All will be explained on air, but he probably looks a bit like this guy.

This weeks themes are…

What is your favourite sports team, and why? Every one has a favourite team. Whether it be football, Ice hockey, Rugby or Curling. Do they have Curling teams? Probably in New Foundland or somewhere like that.

Why do you support them? Did you live near the stadium? Do your family follow them? Or did you support the rivals of your ex’s team, just to piss them off?

If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you’d buy? Would it be a massive, outlandish purchase like a Ferrari? Or would it be a pack of gum to freshen the breath before telling the Mrs it’s over?

What is your wedding first dance song? If you’re married, what did you have as your first dance? If you’re not, what do you want? If you’re a guy, accept that you’ll never have the one you want. After all, it’s ‘her day’. But if, in a magical World, relationships were actually equal, what song would you like?

Tweet us and let us know!

This Thursday on Vectis Radio from 7pm.

Tune in. x
