David in Australia.

I've reached video eighty eight. This is one is called "Lost" and is one of Coldplay's latest. I've had over 10 requests for this song, so I can say it's by popular demand.

Have a listen:

I'm going to continue my father's story in the next post, because I remembered something quite interesting and topical that I wanted to get out now. If you are in the UK then you may know about a TV programme called "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here". One of the celebrities in the show was a man called "David Van Day". I was at a friends house when I first saw that he was in there. My friend asked me who he was. I just said that he used to be in a successful band called Dollar in the early 80's, and that my opinion of him was not that great, to put it kindly.

I formed my opinion many years ago. When I was about 17 I worked in a shop called CRS (Co-operative Retail Services) in Uxbridge. On my lunch break I went shopping in WH Smith to purchase some music. One of them being a song called Videotheque by Dollar. It was just pure chance that David Van Day and Therese Bazaar walked in whilst I was buying. Both halves of Dollar. They happened to be there to sign copies of their new release, Videotheque. David was vertically challenged, and Therese was even shorter than him. She moved up the counter to me and picked up the records I was buying, complimenting me on my musical taste. Then we had a little chat. David was getting increasingly bothered by the lack of attention for him, and asked her to hurry up. So she signed my copy of their record, and took the disc over to him and more or less demanded that he sign it too.

I paid for my discs, said my goodbye's and went back to work. Therese smiled and bid me goodbye, and David said nothing. My impression of him was that he was quite selfish.

I've seen him on "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" and it looks like he hasn't changed much at all. I have to add that I thought Therese was wonderful. I felt that she was happy for the conversation, which made me feel good.

It's time for some more Youtube information.

At last I've passed 1,000 subscribers. The figure now stands at 1020.

There are 24,010 channel views and the overall video views are 414,193.

I'm not sure what I'm doing next, but it may well be another cover. There's a few to do. There's also another duet with Kareneng coming up soon
