Welcome to the best blog on the internet on this slightly cool Wednesday evening. This is a historic post you are admiring being the very first blog I have ever created on my phone. Yes I have typed them up whilst sat in a field in the Midlands and then emailed them to my brother for posting but this is the full SP people!! I had lots to tell you after reading the paper earlier but my poor overworked brain has, once again, forgotten it all.!
I have been enjoying the many photos of all the school proms around the area, it has certainly helped me realise the observation that there are a lot of men and women all with the same haircut in the world.! Plus there are some hellishly sized teenagers out there, never mind a limo, a horse box would have been more appropriate.! We sadly never had a school prom due to a bit of a fire a little bit before, as well as the fact that it wasn’t as fashionable back then.
And now follows a little text I wrote whilst in Hobbits the other week. Yes I was drunk and a little sad, sat alone with my dreaming whilst watching other people dancing. So take it away drunk Fluffy Bunny…..
“Allow me to reminisce for a while. I went in Hobbits on Saturday night (see I do plan ahead – FB). It was empty. I was so suprised. Where were the people.? Where were the faces I love to see.? It was like a grave yard. If I concentrated I could feel the ghosts of yesterday milling around me. So many people that I used to enjoy a night out with. I’m guessing I got left behind in the world but it made me sad. I hanker after the way it used to be. There should be dancing, fun, company. I should be shocked at the sheer quantity of people on the dance floor that I know whilst shoving between them to Disturbed.
Now I realise what Spike Milligan said when he wrote the words ‘yesterday leave me’ alone in his memoirs. The sound, smell and visual memory of a place causes such vivid memories that it is like walking a battle field from years past. It is the night club equivalent of standing on Vimy Ridge, remembering the battle, seeing the men, smelling the war around you.
I will go back, I always do, but my happiest moments were spent in a place where no longer stand the people I once loved and still do, where no longer plays quite the same music, where no longer I really belong whether it be my making or the long forgotten feeling of happiness with close friends. And as I type this the sound of Letter To You comes drifting across from the dance floor. Leave me to be.
It sounds like an awful thing to say but my days of being popular are over. I no longer belong. And it pains me to say it. A few classic moments follow if you will indulge me. Dancing with Hitler on Halloween, actually pulling for the first time in a night club. Standing on the chairs with Sexy Dave at the side of the dance floor watching over everyone as they stopped and started to Forest, walking in and saying hi to twenty people before I even got a seat. The feeling of being home.
It’s not the same now. There is no soul. No heart. Maybe I miss out on the good times when everyone else is there and it’s not just full of horrible little seen kids wanting as much beer as they can pour down their throats. It was never like it is now. If I ever win or make enough money I will pay Mark to change it back to how it was. Ok, it wont be quite the same but, but by God it will make a fucking good start.” – end of drunk Bunny bit….
So there you have it folks, meanderings over a nightclub. Silly isn’t it? So I guess I will see you all on Saturday in Hobbits, oh the rich irony of life.
*****LATE NEWS*****
Oooh I have remembered what I was going to rabbit on about…
A certain Mr Bernie Ecclestone has apologised for his comments about “Hitler getting things done, despite his obvious drawbacks” (my wording not his). I have to admit, he isn’t wrong though is he.?
After the First World War (The Great War… which wasn’t that great was it.? The Second World War was much better, like with Austin Powers) Germany was in the doldrums, it’s economy shot to pieces, the morale of the people on the floor, massive unemployment and not much doing. Then along comes a guy who brings everyone together, makes the country one of the most technically advanced on Earth and shows the power of Socialism.
Unfortunately he went the wrong way about it (he murdered enough people just getting to the top let alone the millions he killed later on in death camps or through actual fighting).
But he achieved a hell of a lot of things along the way. The first jet fighter, the air to surface missile, the cruise missile… all military applications but the jet plane certainly has it’s place in society now.! If only he had been more legitimate. Maybe if he had offered to gas the Yanks instead of the Jews the world might be more stable.
