Being Boring

You’re bored, I’m bored. We’re all bored. No hugging, kissing, crowding, concerting, congregating. Restricted weddings, funerals, life on Zoom, holidays in Torquay. Boring.

So this week we are celebrating boredom. On and on and ennui. Fortunately some of the greatest music of all time has been written about boredom – from the Sex Pistols to the Pet Shop Boys to Billie Eilish. Whether you’re sitting isolated on the dock of the bay or in the park – this show will definitely break through the monotony. The monotony of living life in a sanitised box – including the Pet Shop Boys, Sex Pistols, Jam, Billie Eilish

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
