Simple Minds and Simple working for ever, and ever and ever, and ever....

So, I have been busy recently (really? Not just taking a few days off work to contemplate life, socks behind the radiator, Asda's and the links between supermarkets and Trollied?) Well, you might say, I have taken my ramblings to a whole new level.. So, I now have well underway two new websites to tempt your pallet... (?) www.simplemindsforever.com and http://thecompletebusinessofavon.blog.com. Both of which I wish you to find, explore, and generally take to your hearts as you have with this blog (cough cough.) Ok so the first of these wondrous areas is, Simple Minds - my passion for these Scottish rockers started probably around 1985 and the launch of cult the 'The Breakfast Club.' Notably, SM recorded the biggest hit for them at the time that actually wasn't written by them 'Don't You (forget about me.)' From there, I fell in love with them - but I have to say, mostly Jim Kerr - that eyeliner, those baggy black jumpers and that voice (but not in that order..) The site doesn't boast to be a wealth of knowledge, more a tribute to a life long love for one of those groups who makes you proud to be British.. (and attached to Scotland..) The second website is dedicated to that thing that keeps us sane, insane, housed and generally fed occasionally - money and work... my new venture in the blog world takes you through a LIVE, (yes, LIVE) account of how I set my own business - and it is LIVE - not prerecordings, of cheating going on here... you follow me through the ups and downs of starting work for yourself... and if I can do it, anyone can...
