Hi Gang,

I would first like to welcome everyone to my revamped page, there are a few things which are left to be added, more podcasts, and exclusive mixes, will be added over the coming weeks, as well a few things which I had discussed in the past and has come online! But more on that later.

It has been a while since I have found time to sit down and write about all that has been going in the past few months, and I am going to do my best to bring you up to speed, on all the goings on.  It would be impossible to put the last few months into one post, and I doubt my fingers would hold out, but here are some of the topic’s that I will be covering over the coming days! Yes, days? As I said, lot’s to catch up with…

We will be talking Radio, Family, Nutters, Brexit, Nutters, The Future!

I know some of you will be confused with the Nutters part? But that will become clear in due course, and boy, thats one hell of a story! And I have kept up, previous episodes of my blog here for you all to look over, if you need a catch up.  Save to say as Nutter from a previous episode chose to return!  And rest assured in the coming weeks, I look for some closure on this matter.   The person involved (is being dealt with), and that will limit what I can say on this matter.  I am led to believe that in some instances the police will take away all computer equipment to check contents for evidence. and based on her statements, in other matters.  These are matters before the Civil Courts, and apart from making some lawyers a few quid,  it is a time consuming process.

I am going to say this at this juncture…  I have never ever encountered such a person, I have never in my 50+ years, met such a delusional person in all of my life. Harsh? Hell No!  I could not put into words how crazy? I also want to point out at this stage, My Family, and I are not the only people to suffer at this persons hands?  Among her many . social media profiles, one was dedicated to an Ex, whom she convinced was the father of her child! Complete with bump pictures (cushion), and at 3 months, a scan pictures! And on time, newborn! (see google photos), that saga ended in court! There are a list, but who could be either that pissed off, or crazy to carry out a stunt like that for over a year?

If you can find a better word than Nutter,  add it to the comments! But to date the Wife has an Injunction against her, which means that she can’t post anything against our business’ and staff, Blah, Blah.. Do you think it stopped? HELL NO!! But we will get back to that.. As I said, lots to get through!!

The last 6 months has seen the wife and I take a good look at our future!   I am sure those of you who are over 50, have sat down at some stage and taken stock? Well, we are no different.  We had Tenerife as our future home, long before Brexit.  Our business interests in the country, are something which we continue to work on, with improvements to both Radio (Boogie Bunker Radio/BBR Tenerife) & App (Tenerife Buzz).

Anyone on my Staff & Team will tell you the hard work we put in each day to have what we have got? I wasn’t always the 9 to 5 guy, that I have become, and yes, I have fractured a few laws over the years, and I have done mine, and I have no intention of going back!!  Those of you that have known me for many years, would know, I would have dealt with the Nutter differently, 10 years ago!  I would have been due for release, about now! But I digress!!

The wife and I are in Tenerife most months, and therefore we get to see a different style of life, having to share both cultures, which we both embrace with our friends & family.  But I am not going lie, we have had to endure some testing times.   Nutters spreading all kinds of crap, which I am having to defend by taking them to court, Blackmail, harassment, all from one person!  Again, there are some things I can not say (at this stage), but feel free to leave a comment, we can chat further.  I will also say this… I haven’t named this person, and although I will! In due course, if this person has also done similar to you?  Inbox us, as we may be able to assist you, by sharing information (confidentially via our legal team).

Life is full of lessons, and so it should be! And for the life of me, can I find a plausible argument, or lesson from this whole sorry tale!   My dad always said, ‘The Lie, will always be far more interesting.. than the truth?’ But for some, the truth doesn’t matter, just their truth?  I was burned when I was at Primary school, and for years I feared any fire.   But over the years I overcame the fear, I took some stick at school going up, but never anything I couldn’t handle, and being black, was more of a worry, in my school days..

But recently, I found myself having to explain that story, as some Nutter, had created their truth! Not only that, sort to damage our business’, Reputation, and tried to get a few quid in the process!  Does anyone want to guess the amount of times, we heard ‘Ignore it, they will get bored, and go away?’ Fuck No!! They didn’t! This has been going on in the background of our life for years! But a couple of months ago, we were tipped over the edge!!

Now Like every good blog… We keep you wanting!!

 

I said that there was lots to cover, over the coming days, so we shall continue tomorrow!! I will tell you about early morning wake up calls, being Sued! Fighting back, and how there is light at the end of the tunnel!

For now I would like to thank everyone who have been in touch with words of support, and I would like to apologise to anyone who has inadvertently received any correspondence from this person, There is now a court order in place, which should hopefully limit her activities. 

Again we apologise unreservedly and hope that you will continue to follow this blog, for the outcome.   

You know what to do?

 

HOLLA AT ME (Not you!!)

PS:  The Wife is still alive… Just saying,  x

Hi Gang,

I know it has been a long time, so put the kettle on and hit the link BBR And let’s have a bit of a catch up.

First, I want to that everyone for all the support that you have given to both myself, and the Radio Station.  Not only tuning in, in your droves, but by supporting the events which we put on around the country, and in other countries.  I would like to also thank you on behalf of the team.  Who have seen an increase in subscribers/listeners to podcasts, So thank you for that.. We would also like to say a special thank you to everyone who has supported ‘Soulful Sundaes’.  You have come down to Herne Bay in your 100’s and we thank you for all the positive feedback, and look forward to seeing you down at the Bandstand, as the Summer continues.

This weekend 11th-12th August 2018, We have Herne Bay Carnival 2018, and we have brought some special guests over from BBR Tenerife.  David Manso & Le Canarien!

Guitar Heroes Flyer

We look forward to seeing you all down in Herne Bay, on Saturday.  If your in Reading on Saturday night you can catch the Duo from Tenerife, alongside BBR’s Rob Randell!! At the ‘Purple Turtle‘ (Yep.. I said it).

ONWARDS!!

I have been known to use these pages to have the odd rant, bit of politic’s, I steer well clear of religion.  But I have seen some weird thing going on with other stations.  I always say we are in a business, which is full of competition, and that means that you have to either be very niche, or very broad in terms of what you do.  At the same time it’s a business, and the minute you go on air, you have a responsibility to your listeners!  Take what you do seriously, and have a plan to be broadcasting in 10 years time.  I took a financial punt, but at the same time their was, and is a long-term plan.  Kind of build it, they will come!!  And I am grateful that you all share the enjoyment,ent we hope to bring with BBR.

With that in mind, it has alway been our strategy to expand our operation in Tenerife (Canary Islands), and we shall start broadcasting on FM in Tenerife in 2019.  This will run alongside our current online programming, and will offer the not only our online users, but our FM & Online Listeners the opportunity to experience a new schedule of dual programming, with live shows from both the UK & Tenerife.  This has been something we have been working on for some time, and look forward to our launch in January 2019.

THERE’S MORE!!

‘Fun in the Sun 2019‘ Someone booked today, and paid £398.00pp flights & Accommodation.  So don’t take my word for it! book for yourself, and buy your BBR Wristband, and you will be in store for one hell of a week!!  We will be bringing to Tenerife, from Italy ‘Camera Soul‘  for two Amazing shows at the Legendary ‘Hard Rock Cafe’ Los Americas, Tenerife. In January 2019 as part of FITS 2019.

It’s been a hectic few weeks with all the project’s me and the team are trying to juggle.  The Wife has been back and forth to hospital with her mother, so it has been all hands to the pump.  Hence the delay in the update!  Lot’s of exciting stuff in the pipeline, so follow this blog, or subscribe to BBR..

Have a great weekend, and if you can’t be good? Be careful!

Hi Gang,

I know it’s been a while… So lot’s to catch up on! So kettle on and click the link for some tunes BBR

World Cup, Brexit, Soulful Sundaes, to name but a few are the topic, we are going to cover.  First up Brexit.. I saw my old mate Danny Dyer on Television, giving his opinion on Brexit, which went viral, and basically, I can’t help but agree with him at every turn.  No matter what side of the argument you are on? Leave or Remain! Your not going to get what you want, and in the mist of it all is a great big mess? And Danny is right? Where is David Cameron! In France, with his trotters up! Darn right! but he is right… What a twat!  David Cameron had the opportunity, as Prime Minister to go to Europe, and said.. We want, and if you don’t give us.. We will leave! And on the result of the Referendum, I have a feeling, he would have got us a great deal, and we would be having our cake and eat it! Instead, and I am going to say it, because Danny couldn’t on National Telly! We are Fucked!! Let’s not make any bones about it, we are in deep shit!

In the last 2 years since the referendum, We as a country have spent Billions, working out how we are going to get out? Without making the country bankrupt? Good luck with that.. Teresa!  Now we all remember that famous £350 Million!  Let’s for a minute, say it exists? The cheapest solution to the Irish Boarder Situation? Would Cost £25 Billion, Yep £25 Billion.. for a £350 million a year saving! You do the math!  Some of the issue’s prior to the referendum was immigration.. That has dropped, mainly from Non-Europeans! and Europeans, has not only dropped, but people leaving the country has increased! mainly Europeans.  One of the concerns of Brexit, is that immigrants, have been the backbone of the country for so many years, that the lack off, or the loss of, does not in-fact create more jobs for British people, because they were the jobs, that Brit’s didn’t want to do! Anyone fancy working 10 hours on a chicken farm, or picking fields in Kent, for 10 hours, on your hands and knees.. Hell No!

Everyone keeps telling me, about getting our boarders back, and control of trade! Sounds good.. But let’s take a look at that.. President Trump, is in the middle of a trade war, and We think that he will do us a favour, by giving us Tariff free access to his US Market? Is that ‘Putting America first‘? I think not, so I can’t see any sweet deals for us? And if there is… What does America have, that we can’t get cheaper, and quicker from Europe? Even with a new Tariff agreement.. After all we are going to get a good deal?

Our Boarders.. Like America, we can dictate, who we let into the country… Even with freedom of movement rules! I will explain…  AT EVERY UK BOARDER THERE IS A SIGN! “We have the right to refuse entry into the UK… TO ANYONE”!  We have control of our Boarders! WE CHOOSE NOT TO!! FACT!!

The final point from the referendum, was our Parliament being in control, and not a bunch of bureaucrats in Brussels.. Fair and interesting point!  Have you ever watched our parliament?  Nuff Said! And let look at some of those rules.. We know the bent Bananas was a joke! So how bad are these rules? And some of the counties having to suffer these rules! I can only talk from personal experience, but I am sure you will see my point, if you have travelled round Europe. Holland, Rotterdam, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, to name a few, each have their problems, but as far as I can see the laws, and rules that those Bureaucrats have put in place, seem to have done each of those countries as service, and each of them, have managed to negotiate favourable terms, while inside the EU!

I am going to leave this topic, for now, and I am sure over coming weeks we will no doubt have to revisit it, but I am praying that Prime Minister Dyer, get’s in and sorts this mess out.. and in his words.. ‘Soon As‘.

Onwards!

World Cup fever is upon us.. And I for one am loving every minute, it have been the only thing that has keep my eye off the Premier League transfer market.. (Come on West Ham, few more players in).  But this World Cup, in Russia has been the first time I have been able to truly believe, we could actually win the thing! Fingers crossed, and not wanting to ‘jinx’ things I will leave the subject there for now… Save to say.. Come on England!!

Summer is here!

Soulful Sundaes Printable

Last weekend we launched ‘Soulful Sundaes’, Boogie Bunker Radio’s Summer Event.  Held in the Glorious Seaside town of Herne Bay, Kent.  We Take over the Central Bandstand, with our partners Makcaris Ice Cream Parlour!  We bring an afternoon of across the board Soul & Dance music, with a hint of Reggae!  We had great weather, and a great crowd throughout the day.  We shall be back every Sunday, as Well as Saturday 11th August for the Famous Herne Bay Carnival, when we will have some extra special guest joining us.

So why not come and join us for a day at the seaside, and some great music. Free entry throughout the Summer!

Finally

This week on the family front, hasn’t been great, NO! The wife is very much alive... But her Mother has been unwell, and it has put a strain on the family, as a whole.  My wife is a little bundle of energy, as many of you know? But with hospital visits, and the worry, it does have its effect all round.  I unlike most am very pragmatic, and to some very strong and capable.  Which to a degree I am, I am a good businessman, and run a successful business, which I built from scratch.  But there are days, that my wife puts me to shame!  She has been exhausted, but each day, she gets up, and brushes her teeth, and gets ready for another day, of more unknown.  Yes, there have been tears, and couple of nights of waking up, in her clothes.. Where I have pulled the covers, over her corpse!  I have had to cope with a couple of ‘Bitch‘ moments, but I can take all that, because I look at my wife, with great pride.  My admiration for how she has coped is immense, and I hate to say it… I am a lucky guy, to have such a loving & caring person by my side.. And if anyone tells her, they are a dead person!
