I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Missing my innocence

Winslow it
I was a kid in the nineties and police academy movies were very popular back then. They started out the 80s but made loads of sequels throughout the decade and into the 90s and the free TV stations continued to show the movies long after the movies were released.
In police academy, there was a man called Lorell Jones played by Michael Winslow. He was a student officer that could make many sound effects with his mouth. I think the actor was actually able to make those sounds for real. Anyway, he would make sounds as a prank to make people think there is something wrong with a machine they are using or to make them think something was happening. He would also make those sounds for the sake of it.
There is a little bit of Winslow in me because I make sound effects when cars overtake me while I am driving at the maximum speed limit or when it is not safe. I won't say what the sound effect is though. Making sound effects with your mouth can help with unwanted anger.
