Midweek Message 50.

Hello, I hope you're well. This Sunday, I'm going to chat about the 50s and 60s.  Nothing in particular, just a ramble about the old days and how things were back then. Please, do join me.

Love Cheat!

As well as my usual banging on, I have another story for you. It was back in the 1970s when I suspected a friend of mine was being cheated on by his girlfriend. A group of us tried to enlighten him but he wouldn't listen. I then discovered the incredible truth!

What a lovely morning, waking up to bird song! Why don't birds sing in the winter? Perhaps they do. Are you looking after yourself and keeping well? I have a cold, again, but the birds cheer me up.

Keep Away From My Sister!

I have a story for you. A chap I knew told me to keep away from his sister, He told me not to ask her out... he was a strange of guy. Did I stay away from the girl? Did I ask her out?

Midweek Message 48.

Hello and welcome to yet another Midweek Message. I hope you're keeping well. Thanks for your emails and suggestions. There's another story coming this Sunday so keep an eye out for that.

The Stalker!

In this episode, I talk about the time I helped a girl who was being stalked by an ex-lover. But, before the story begins, I have a little chat about other things.

Midweek Message 47.

Hi, I hope you're keeping well. Meeting people, boys, girls, relationships... How did you meet your partner? Was it under strange circumstances? How did you first bump into each other? Email me with your stories. raysrants@protonmail.com

The Girl From France

I want to tell you a story. The Girl From France is a sad tale with a happy ending. I hope you enjoy it, along with my other rants during this episode.

Midweek Message 46.

This coming Sunday, I'll be telling you a story. I know that many of you like stories so don't miss this one!

Families... and other stuff

This week, I'm on a general rant about families... and other stuff. You can choose your friends but not your family!

Midweek Message 45.

Hello, I hope you're well. We're now into March and spring is officially here. Tune in to my Midweek Message for a weather report!

Time Machine

Here's the question: given the choice, would you go back 50 years in time or forward 50 years in time. You will have to live in the time you choose. Better the devil you know back in time? Or take a gamble on the future?

Midweek Message 44.

Three storms have hit the UK within a week. Now that's all over, perhaps we can look forward to the summer.

The Weather!

What with storm Dudley and storm Eustice recently battering the UK, I thought an episode about the weather would be apt. The weather doesn't only affect BBQs in the summer or skiing in the winter, it#s has a colossal impact on many businesses.

Bad news! I am not a happy bunny! I hope you've had a good week because I definitely haven't!
