So, I’m doing some writing (finally!)
Or, rather, my Author is, I’m just telling him all about it.

Blog 18th May 2026.
Being nice to my author today – instead of torturing him with stupid covers of various songs, I’m trying to get him to write about my latest case – I’m calling this one “A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Slap And Tickle Guaranteed…”

Yin Tong Iddle I Po! (Rick Astley’s Version)
My dumbass Author just clicked on an interesting looking link to a video – someone manipulating a load of fractals on screen, then a certain dancing idiot appeared on screen, and THAT drum riff came through the speakers, and I was off…
Yin tong Iddle i po….
Yin tong yin tong iddle… Ipo..oo..oo
Yin tong yin tong iddle i po…
Yin tong yin tong iddle… i po
Yin tong iddle i po,
Yin tong iddle i po,
Yin tong iddle i po,
Yin tong iddle.
Yin tong iddle i po,
Yin tong IDDLE i po,
Yin tong iddle i po, Iddle i po.
If he wasn’t bald there would be a massive pile of hair on the floor after he ripped it all out…
Lets see how long the band can keep jamming on this one!

Hello World!!!
It’s great to be here!
Just a quick introduction – I’m a fictional (allegedly) Paranormal Detective by day here in the sunny Mancunian Republic, and even more fictional (allegedly) singer with the very fictional (super-allegedly) lounge jazz/punk band The Betty Swallocks Orchestra.
I also own the biggest and best (fictional, allegedly)night club in town, the Betty Swallocks Lounge Bar, which technically exists in a pocket dimension, with the main entrance down an alley off Tib Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, and a back door in Heaton Park.
Let’s not talk about the other back doors, which tend to wander, or the way the place slowly rearranges itself over time.
My Author is often kept amused by me and the band rehearsing smooth Jazz versions of pop, rock, soul, metal, and… well, you name it, we cover it, all classics, all the time.
And that’s something – my Author thinks of me as “One of the voices in my head”, whereas I’m pretty sure HE’S the fictional one.
But, getting back to music – I have this theory that you can sing any lyric to any other melody, with minimal alterations, and like to prove my point singing the lyrics of the greatest song ever written – The Yin Tong Song – to anything that pops into my Authors head.
Annoying him is possibly my favourite thing to do.
Just don’t expect links to any of the songs we cover – that would require my Author learning how to play an instrument.
And be able to sing!
And that’s about it…
