Firstly I have a brief but necessary goodbye to say to a much loved old friend… I have known you for many a year, enjoyed your little quirks and travelled many miles to college, the Mall, town etc, with you. The sound of your turbo charged roaring engine will be as much longed for as the thumping of the National’s motor. Rest in Peace, the Firstbus Leyland Lynx. Sigh.
I been in ole Bristle town most of today, doing the shopping thing with my brother before spending a delightful hour in the B.R.I for one X-ray (him) and some jellybabies (me). Did buy a new pair of trousers which I think would better suit him than me and the newest Bowling For Soup album. Woop.
Two days to the weekend… should be an interesting one (greatest understatement EVER).! Off with Lemony to see Pouty at the tea rooms on Friday (ah two good friends and fried food. Does it ever get better than that).?!
I have been buying more DVD’s again. I am going to need more shelves at this rate… this time around “ve are havink” zer Wictorvia Vood, Series Von und Two (sorry slipped into a little German there, sorry Herman, I shall pull it out again) and a 10 DVD box set of Sir David Attenborough.
If I can have two idols in my life then aside Jarvis Cocker stands Sir David. Having had the honour of participating in a live webcast a couple of years ago with him, his most recent series “Life in the Undergrowth” stands proudly on my shelf as one of my favourite factual works. From a young age I remember sitting fascinated watching him in caves, up trees, underwater, even in a termites nest.! He has been the basis for my love of all things natural (especially the entomological side of course) and his sheer enthusiasm for seeing an event in nature, such as the popping of a seed pod or the emergance of a mayfly from it’s cast pushes me ever deeper into a world I cannot understand but so desperately want to.
So now I own four of his greatest works. Three solid days of information, pictures, macro videography of that bizarre wide world that we exist in. Fan-bloody-tastic.!!!!!
A more elegant solution would be to use Perl.
The following script is reusable as well. Simply change the $person variable to suit your mood.
#!/usb/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $person = ‘Bob’;
while (1) {
print “Bye $person, thanks for nothing. “;
print “Clearly I mean fuck all to you! \n”;
}
