Neil Gits Up To Date !

It may come as a surprise to you, but when I write these blogs I cannot automatically post them here on the Gateway website. They need to be approved by a responsible adult in case they contain anything that may be deemed “in appropriate” in this day and age – and quite rightly too ! When you are young, you are inexperienced and make errors of judgement, which you learn from and try not to repeat going forwards. I am NOT young, but am so old that I have come out of the other side and now got to that age where frankly I don’t care anymore what I do or say and it is probably best that someone keeps an eye on me as I am totally out of tune with the modern world and its modern ways !

Hence why there have been no blogs recently (no you won’t find them on the “Dark Web” wherever or whatever that is!) as with the office being shut for most of the last couple of weeks, there has been nobody around to rubber stamp them and say “Yes, that’s fine!” So for those of you who love collecting my weekly playlists, this blog is just for you as I catch up on the last three shows worth. And if you actually enjoy my lengthy ramblings and interminable waffle that seems to nearly always ‘pass’ as a suitable blog, full normal service will be resumed next week ! All these shows are still available on the “listen Again” page by the way …
