Some Friday thoughts and things: TOAST ACCEPTANCE SPECTRUM Late last night I offered my friend Sam a piece of toast. That’s what you do. Its just common courtesy. He declined, but he didn’t use a simple no. No, he used the phrase ‘ I have a very small toast acceptance spectrum from around 8am to […]
I’ve never been a pub quiz champion before. I always fear them slightly not knowing a lot about pubs. Arf. That’s an arf for two reasons. One, they don’t ask you about pubs of course you big silly. Two, I know shitloads about pubs. Well, a bit anyway. But I have never been part of […]
Not a great title for my blog today, as I’m worried people will think it refers to the Tories. It doesn’t. They are definitely not renegade masters. I’ve decided the start this again. I suppose, by typing this, and you reading it, its pretty bloody obvious. Don’t get me wrong, if I could send a […]
Hello usual blog readers. Or rather, reader. I haven’t posted for a couple of days now, which for a daily blog, is possibly quite odd. Not that many of you have noticed. I still just thought I should probably post this to say I’m not dead. Or if I am, then you can use blogspot/FB […]
Wow, the UK is in a proper mess today. People wanted change and then voted as such and now seem all a bit worried about the fact that no one has really won anything and no one really knows what’s going on. It feels a bit like when Layla decides she wants to move all […]
Right, I’ve voted. That means I can have the rest of the day off right? Well there’s little else I can do to change the country save from start a new gunpowder plot. I’m not a fan of that. Mostly because gunpowder is a bit old school now, and I’m fairly sure I’d explode myself […]
I’m going to keep this brief, like a pair of pants. I like that phrase, especially as I made it up. However, it doesn’t actually make sense. Pants are also known as briefs, not brief, so really it would be better if you said ‘keep this brief, like a case.’ Except cases are funny. Well […]
I genuinely thought I’d already blogged today but it appears I definitely haven’t. Its slightly worrying that I thought that, and is a further step in me wondering if my brain is steadily giving up. Last night at Old Rope, at the end of the gig, I forgot who had been on, and forgot acts […]
Much like Hannibal from the A-Team, I do indeed love it when a plan comes together. Unlike Hannibal, I can’t really handle cigars as I inhale all wrong and feel a bit sick, and I don’t have a team of crack commandos who were sent to prison for a crime they didn’t commit. Or at […]
Its a bloody miserable day outside. One of those days where the weather has decided everything needs to be in more shades of grey than a film noir piece. Unfortunately it hasn’t added any of the spy suspense or intrigue of such a piece and instead everything just seems boring and mundane. Its like a […]
