My Current Interests

 

 

 

Part 1

 

I am interested in singing the opening part of a 1975 song called 'Motor Bikin' by a singer called Chris Spedding whenever I'm in the car as a passenger with whoever is driving me around and a somewhat idiotic speeding motorcyclist overtakes us. For those of you who don't know the song, I thought I'd embed a YouTube video as well below this paragraph of Chris Spedding performing the song on 'Top Of The Pops' in 1975 for anyone to listen to on this page on my website. The YouTube channel which this is taken from is called 'GreatGuitarHeroes'

 

 

 

Part 2

 

I am also interested in watching certain clips from this programme which used to be on and I used to record on blank video cassettes and was mentioned earlier on my website called Top Of The Pops 2. I thought I'd also embed fourteen of the clips below this paragraph that I enjoy watching the most, any one of which I would watch on this page on my website rather than on YouTube whenever I have the opporunity, and anyone viewing this page on my website is entitled to do so themselves. The main reason why I would choose to watch them on this page on my website rather then on YouTube is because they're among the videos on You Tube which play adverts at the beginning. I do know that some adverts are okay, it's just that I personally wouldn't take any chances to watch any one of them on YouTube for fear that I am going to come across an advert that I would really dislike and be forced to memorise it without choosing to. Also, I have given thirteen of the fourteen artists mentioned below Wikipedia entries. One of them I can't give a Wikipedia link to because it's got an apostrophe in the name that stops me from hyperlinking it, and that is 'Herman's Hermits'. These YouTube videos are various clips taken from certain episodes that were repeats from channels such as 'Dave' or 'UKTV Gold' etcetera.

Part 3

 

Another thing I am interested in is sometimes watching any one of four Cherry Red TV interviews, two from 2010, one from 2011, and the other from 2014. I thought I'd embed the five YouTube videos in this page on my website so that anyone who views this bit on my website can watch any one of those interviews on this page on my website or on YouTube. Three of the interviews are nearly an hour long, and the other is nearly two hours long and comes in two nearly one hour chunks. Once again, I personally wouldn't take any chances myself by choosing to watch any of these interviews on YouTube for reasons already explained in this page on my website.

Harvey Bainbridge - My Hawkwind Adventures = 2010

 

Bill Nelson - 40 Years Of Recordings = 2011

Part 4

 

Yet another thing I am interested in, and this is something I have been interested in for pretty much of my whole life, is making up my own fantasies in my head. I'm sure a lot of other people do the same thing themselves. I'm not going to talk much about my many fantasies that I'll have had over the last thirty years or so, what I can say is, my current fantasy that I currently have is imagining this parallel universe where our solar system is exactly the same as in this universe, and where the world is nearly exactly the same as this world, except there is this fictional land I have made up that is longitude level with Britain and next to Africa on the left called 'The New United Kingdom' or NUK as it can be abbreviated to. It is a fictional and self-contained country where the people have their own things going on there. The United Kingdom fits into the NUK three times, so it's bigger than Britain, but a lot smaller than Australia.

 

Nobody ever leaves the New United Kingdom, and nobody in the rest of the world ever goes there, this means the NUK have everything there in terms of transport, apart from ships and planes. Also, although in this world there is obviously no such thing as magic, in this parallel universe with the NUK being a part of this world, there is such thing as magic, but only in the New United Kingdom. There, they have this machine which anyone living in the NUK would have to have a license to own called an 'AM machine' (AM stands for 'Almost Magic'), and it comes with a qwerty keyboard where anyone who will have owned this machine can type in anything that they want to happen only in the NUK and nowhere else in the world. Anyone who will have caused anything bad to happen in the New United Kingdom would end up having their AM licence permanently revoked, and would also never be allowed to use an 'AM machine' again.

 

Everything that happens in the rest of the world is exactly the same as in this world, but in the NUK, as well as the inhabitance having their own things going on there, although to a certain extent they know about what goes on in various parts of the world respectively, whatever happens in the rest of the world is none of their business. Obviously there will be problems for the rest of the world, but none of them are theirs. With this parallel universe where the New United Kingdom is a par of this world, I would only really concentrate on what happens in the NUK and not in any other parts of the world as a lot of the things that happen in the rest of the world I obviously wouldn't really make up in my own head for my own fantasy. As well as the New United Kingdom being longitude level with Britain and next to Africa on the left, because it's in the southern hemisphere, they have there winter there when it's summer in Britain, and they have their summer there when it's winter in Britain.

 

Me having this private fantasy in my life where the New United Kingdom is a part of this world and where they have their own things going on there is because of the state of certain aspects of the world. I don't base my own ideas for the NUK on certain realities in various other parts of the world. I do what I do because of things happening in the rest of the world which once again I wouldn't make up in my head for my own fantasy. Also, although like I say the New United Kingdom is a fictional and self-contained nation, there are certain aspects of reality there that in my head would stand out stylistically from the rest of the world. Along with certain things that I enjoy doing such as going out with my PA (personal assistant), and listening to certain music that I love, me creating my own fantasy and secretly fantasizing whatever happens in the NUK comes first for me. It's what I do behind shut doors. As well as Britain fitting into the New United Kingdom three times, the NUK is as wide as Britain and three times as deep.

 

Also, I would say the New United Kingdom is on a par with Britain, but at the same time, the people there always make sure that they don't copy Britain too much, and I think once again, them having their summer there when it's winter here, and having their winter there when it's summer here really helps with that. Another reason why I tend to focus on my own ideas for certain things going on in the NUK is because I easily get annoyed at certain aspects of the state of the world today along with certain parts of reality in this world that I would find upsetting, and so I tend to think about the concept of my own fantasy pretty much on a daily basis where the New United Kingdom is a part of this world and they have their own things going on there. I especially choose to think about my own private fantasy in the process of me going out with my PA and enjoying my times being at certain pubs that I like going to and also enjoying listening to certain songs that I love listening to on my mp3 players. I find it really quite fulfilling because it's helping me to live my quiet life the way I want to. It's quite cynical really.

 

Even when I was at school I was interested in making up my own fantasy. I sometimes had trouble paying attention in certain lessons because I felt that my own fantasies that I was going by at the time were more important to me than the things that I and the other kids in my class had to be taught in school. Also, as well as the NUK being on a par with Britain, it shares the same daylight hours as Britain because like I say it's longitude level with Britain, in other words, the clocks go forward in the NUK at the same time the clocks go forward in Britain despite it being winter in the NUK when it's summer in Britain, and the clocks go back in the NUK at the same time the clocks go back in Britain as well despite it being summer in the NUK when it's winter in Britain.

 

Also, in the parallel universe where this world features the fictional land called ‘The New United Kingdom’ (NUK), I am imagining my own things that I come up with that would happen there, and without me knowing it, those exact things are happening there even though no one else in the rest of the world are aware of what’s going on there and know themselves as well as me that it’s a fictional and self-contained land and that its inhabitance have their own things going on there, some kind of original form of intuition if I'm not very much mistaken. But it is in the parallel universe that I have created that it’s happening, and once again my own ideas for what happens in the NUK come from myself and are based on fantasy. I find certain realities quite tough to handle myself, and once again, the standards of reality in the New United Kingdom stand out stylistically from the rest of the world.

 

Also in the parallel universe where this world features the New United Kingdom, in around early 2020 at the time when the COVID-19 pandemic had not long been announced, some governor in the New United Kingdom will have used their 'AM Machine' to completely block out the virus so that it won't have been a danger to any person living in the NUK as well. It'll have been during the termagant waters of the coronavirus that the people of the New United Kingdom will have got on with their own lives while the rest of the world will have put the effort in to combat the rising threat of the virus, despite which, the people of the NUK are aware of what's going on in the world to a cerain extent. Also, exactly the same people in the rest of the world as in this world do know that the fictional land is there in this parallel universe with the New United Kingdom in it, but they themselves don't know it's called The New United Kingdom (NUK), nor do they know that this fictional land is on a partial par with Britain.

 

This current fantasy which I am making up in my head and commenced on Monday the 1st of April 2024 I can't share with anyone, even the people who I am close to, and also not in this section on my website because the plot I am making up in my head for my current fantasy in The New United Kingdom (NUK) is too complex for me to explain, even in writing, which makes it a private fantasy for me, but a lot of the fantasies that I had over many years tended to be private anyway. They do say some things are better off left unspoken, and it's true.
