Thanks to Bob Brown (and a pair of Bentleys Blog underpants and a T-Shirt are winging their way to you!) for your weird and wonderful answer of 'Pooh Van Zonk' !! That certainly captures the mood for me! But the actual answer is that "Nov Shmoz Kapop"
was originally from a comic strip character called THE LITTLE HITCHHIKER drawn by Gene Ahern in 1936. Why am I not surprised that nobody knew that?!? Anyway Anyway Anyway that inspired Robert Crumb's character - Mr. Natural - which in turn inspired my own creation - Uncle Compost. And although it sounds as though it's derived from SLAVIC origins - it is in fact complete gibberish! Ha! Ha! Ha!

SqUeEzE RHYTHM SECTION - THROWN IN THE BRIG
but 1st ...
Seems like ages since we were all out 'on the road again'.
Now the show is up and running and gathering momentum!
But Butt Buttt ... What?!? (I hear you ask) have SquEeZe got up their mohair sleeves this year?
Well I expect Chris will be wearing his heart on his as per usual!
Could their be more choreography?
Well, it would be very difficult to improve upon perfection - but you never know!
How about some NEW SqUeEzE songs?
YES! YES! YES! ... How about that!
New haircuts? - Definitely!
And of course our sartorial elegance will point the way forward to the likes of Prada Groucho and Weetabix!

Yes Folks! We're following in the wake of the TITANIC (apart from the bit where it went straight down hopefully) aboard the QUEEN MARY II (that's two not eleven!) on our way to New York City via the Atlantic Ocean.
MAN OVER BORED?
Well somebody's gotta do it! - 70 passengers of all ages shapes and sizes signed up on day 1 of the trip to take part in this original concept devised by our cuddly Ivor Novello award winner. (who's that then?)
Supported by a team of 6 professional song writers - the idea was for us to be 'Mentors' to guide and inspire the passengers to write their own songs, and then perform them at the end of the week in a theatre on board the ship. What actually happened was that I had Emmy Lou Harris's ex guitarist Bill Rollins in my songwriting group, and he didn't really need any prompting from me! Still it was an emotional voyage of discovery!
QM2 QUOTES....
the Bloggodore ...
"Hows about a tour of the engine room?"
the Commodore ...
"You're under arrest!"
Chris de Farde ...
"What time's dinner?"
Zippy the Pinhead ...
"Are we having fun yet?"
But what? (I hear you ask) is it really like on board a 5 Star Luxury Liner?
The QM2 is the largest most luxurious ship afloat on the High Seas. Wandering the decks alone late at night with nothing to keep me company apart from a vaporiser, it's pretty much like a ghost ship. She is so splendid - so affluent - so graceful that it doesn't take much imagination to travel back in time (WhOOOOOSH) and be transported (in my mind) to the decks of the TITANIC. This ship is more than just a big tub. ... she's a majestic Floating City!

KIDS NEVER GET BORED ANYMORE ...
When I were a kid, growing up in the 1950's, there wasn't very much 'stuff' around to entertain us. So we used to genuinely get bored BoReD BORED!!
'So What' (I hear you hum) did we do about it? Well we had to use our imaginations to to invent games to keep us occupied. The kids of today haven't a clue what real boredom is. As soon as they get a whiff of it - they're off on another virtual audio-visual techno trip - to keep their senses hypnotised and anethetized for another hour or two!
SO - DON'T JUST DO SOMETHING - LIE THERE!
Boredom is a thing of the past ... BUT boredom is natures way of stimulating the imagination. Without it the imagination department of the brain becomes redundant!
We're producing a generation of kids with Muted Imaginings!

My Highlights ... the Knack and It's so Dirty.

BLOGGADORE VERSUS COMMODORE
meanwhile back onboard the QM2 ... I was wandering around the crew area deep in the bowels ...
of the ship! And as fate would have it - i stumbled into THE COMMODORE ... Now - he's got more power and authority than the CAPTAIN - He's superior to THE ADMIRAL - He's in charge of the entire fleet - he's the head honcho - the top gun - and he was NOT a happy bunny
COMMODORE:
"Do you realise that this is a restricted area for crew members only? - You are a high risk to security. I will now escort you out of this area - AND - I am the COMMODORE!"
BLOGGADORE: "(sings) You're once - twice - three times a lady"
COMMODORE: "?!?!"
"THATS WHY I'M EASY"
Because of this breach of security - later that day Me and International Session Drummer Simon Hanson were identified as suspected international terrorists, and were escorted to a secure area to be interrogated! Simon was strapped to the mizzen and received 50 lashes - while I got a way with a simple Keel Haul - Owch!!
