The George Lite Zone

Yesterday saw the official launch of my walking, hiking and rambling blog “Stroll On“. This will be used as a vehicle to document walks in the countryside and observations made en-route.

Originally I was going to call the blog “Ramble On” as a play on the Led Zeppelin track of the same name and as a description of the free flowing nature of its posts. Unfortunately this double pun was denied me as someone had already bagged that name. As a curious footnote (no pun intended) the replacement title I chose, “Stroll On”, I later found was a Yardbirds song. The Yardbirds featured a certain Jimmy Page who reformed the band as the New Yardbirds aided and abetted by a certain Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham. After legal wrangling the band was renamed Led Zeppelin and the rest, as they say, is history.

Spooky.

Ace reporter Dave Cox got happy with the snappy at a traffic accident in Tamworth last week. In true Jimmy Olsen fashion, he documented the event and had the pictures printed in that renowned international publication the Tamworth Herald. Come the apocalypse, lets just hope that Dave’s there with his camera. I understand that Pearly Gates Publications may be interested.
