Thursday october 20th

Well hello there and welcome, here you will find my thoughts on whatever I think about, I live in Cambridge UK and have done since 1971 so I have seen a lot of changes and most arent pretty, but it is all interesting stuff so I will be writing a lot about cambridge itself, the history and how things have changed particularly over the last 50 or so years.If you go on a guided tour of cambridge you will hear a lot about how the city began, its all good to know but I am more interested in the fact that the Beatles played here in 1963, shallow you might say? and I would answer yes ok but there is room for that sort of thing, ive only been on one tour and it was ok but it finished in the late 1800s, well I wanted to know about the more recent history of Cambridge and so I did my own research.One thing though, the cambridge I will write about is the town not the university, there is plenty of information about that already, the only thing I found interesting about university life was when they filmed chariots of fire here, a film about the 1926 Olympics I think, and I saw it in the victoria cinema in market square, I qued up for four hours to see star wars there when it opened in 1977, saw Jaws there in 1975, now its a cinema no more but a marks and sparks food store, how depressing .
