Is it just me or is Christina Aguilera singing on that Rimmel London advert.? I guess it must be, that harsh edge to her voice when she sings a long, high note certainly stands out. If only she didn’t look like she needs a really good wash though. Shame.
Hello and welcome to Saturday. I think it is day 6, week 9 but I have a fortnight off work and have currently no idea what is going on.
Thankfully several marvellous things are occuring. Firstly tonight I am attempting a Chinese/Thai meal for Chili with three dishes I have never attempted before… should be interesting. Secondly the ole model railway is starting to work and look proper, guv’nor. Thirdly Hobbits Album Volume Seven is almost completed and finally Someone has decapitated Justin Bieber.
Actually the last one isn’t strictly true. Maybe we could just call that part of a wish list.
Did you know that the Spitfire is 75 years old today.? That classic styling, the elliptical wing, the growly roar of a Merlin at full tilt, what an aircraft… which neatly brings me to a bit of a fuss that has been debated on a certain social networking site of late. (Pouty skip over this bit as normal).
Myself and a few other people have been debating the greatest aircraft of all time. It started out as a conversation about the Tornado and the Eurofighter and degenerated into a big whooharr about which plane was the stand out of history. To be honest we only focussed on the jet age but even so. So which one does it for you.? How about this… choose four aircraft. One fighter (or fighter-bomber), one bomber (ie strategic/area), one transport or civil liner and one naval aircraft. Four planes that define the world of airwar. Not easy is it.?
I managed to get down to four after a lot of thought…
The fighter, well it has to be the Phantom, one of the few planes to ever fly with a toilet attached instead of a bomb (during the Vietnam war and they had one bomb too few). It just shouts power.
The bomber, easy… Vulcan. I don’t really have to explain why but when you hear that whine, see the big black V shape and watch it climb like a little fighter well it just blows you away.!
The transport, the Hercules. STOL capable, rough field capable, it will do just about anything you ask of it.!
The naval plane, The de Havilland Sea Vixen… the twin boom tailed 1960s carrier jet that just looks so… right.
(Close finishers included the Gloster Javelin, B-52, Canberra, EE Lightning, Typhoon (WW2 one) and the B1B, the Mig-25 FOXBAT (two huge engines with a pair of wings bolted on) and the Hawker Hunter).
(Pouty join in again now).
So Mr Liam Gallagher has shown off his new album to the world. Beady Eye is his new band which is, well, Oasis with a different name and without Noel’s guitar playing or song writing abilities. Their stuff sounds like Oasis in so much that it sounds like the Beatles. It’s all very lovely and familiar but rather predictable. I could have written the damn music on an educated guess without even hearing the album (and I can’t read music).!
It just stands to Noel to show off what he can do. I doubt anyone will be cacking themselves over some kind of chart meltdown though. Although Noel did show he was more comfortable without his brother nearby when he appeared with groups such as the Chemical Brothers, to good effect.
Ah yes and Apple have launched the iPad 2 so now you will have a big group of cunts with the iPad 1 being picked on a bunch of overpaid people who are even BIGGER cunts as they have bought a new one. I think we all can tell who the loser is… society, ba doom boom, TISH.
I better go… got to get down DFS before their sale ends.! Bye all.
