Whoops… been a while since I last posted. Sorry. Rather busy time, lots going on and lots hanging off… but enough of my medical complaints.
So huge congratulations to my Bro and his new wife Mel. The wedding was brilliant fun, my best man’s speech went down well and I had a bloody awful hangover after a truly wonderful time. I think he will have to be my best man, just so the little bugger can be forced to make a speech himself. Thanks also to Chili, who made a marvellously gorgeous bridesmaid, Hwang for the entertainment and Neil, Lighty, Bubbles, Emma, Mandy et al that danced, drank and laughed along. Pouty, where were ya.?! What a shame you couldn’t join us, would have made the carry out a little easier, arf arf.
So what has been going on.? Well the Jap’s and their Nuclear Power problems have got a bit quieter, but the world is now glowing brightly yellow at night. Earthquakes still rumble on daily under the country at around 6.0 on the Richter scale, which is quite violent but nowt compared with that gert big Nine.Zero.
Work has been very hard for the past week. I have been a nocturnal bunny, working overnight, which has totally confused my brain and left me shattered and with an inability to sleep properly. Two more nights left so hopefully I shall be back to normal soon enough, the shop looks bloody fab though.!
Lewis, what a drive mate, do that again eleven more times and that’s championship two done.! Also big well done’s to the RML team for the speed of repair on Plato’s bent Chevvy, Matt Jackson for the first Airwaves Ford win, Tom Onslow-Cole for seventh in his improved Golf and Jordan and Nash on their brilliant battles in the Vectras. F1 and BTCC both giving up great racing. Thruxton next, hurray.!!
So today is basically the day I catch up on the washing, cleaning and relaxing in the bath that is impossible at 5am. That is to say I have just pushed a load into the washing machine and will then ram it into the dryer, then go and lie in the bath for an hour. I also need to buy a mesh guard to go over my window to stop me diving to close it everytime something small and waspy flies past. Oh and where is the thunderstorm I was promised last night. Bloody weather… if you are going to make me all sweaty then at least complete the damn transaction.!
and… Finally, I was listening to Nelly Furtado’s single “Turn off the Light” yesterday and it made me wonder just how many songs contain ill-advised additions or ommissions that don’t quite fit. In the aforementioned hairy gal’s song there is an acoustic guitar solo that totally ruins the flow of the song.
Other good examples.? Well Samantha Mumba, Gotta Tell You, the end of each chorus just doesn’t sound right, like something is missing rather than added.
Katy Perry and 3OH3 could have easily made Starstrukk (too many ‘k’s there people) even tastier by the addition of the backing lyric “uh ohh uh” as sung over the final chorus to all the choruses. Much better.
Rebecca Black, Friday. The ill-advised addition is the sperm and the egg that created this pug faced bint, actually no, it is the genetic material that devised her parents that paid for her to appear in damn video. What a couple of donkey fuckers.!
Right. I am off to throw potato peelings at the Jews… it is Easter after all.!
P.S. I forgot to mention a big thank you to Mark at Decades for all the fun on the stag night… great music and free shots and my brother being sicker than a pissed up bullemic with botulism… thanks to Chili for helping clear that up.! It’s lovely to know what Bengal Raj chicken tikka massala looks like a few hours after ingestion. cheers Paul.
P.P.S Jon Sullivan R.I.P, what a shame.! At least it prevents BBC1 or Dave commissioning any more awful continuations of Only Fools and Horses. It finished when they walked into the sunset with Uncle Albert… anything after that is just non-existant to me, another ill-advised addition.
