Sportman's Double

One of the Facebook pages I'm a member of; The Redback Tavern in Acton, London, invited me to a spit roast this weekend. Thing is, I don't know that many people in London any more, so I reckon I'd be fairly shy - not to mention it being embarrassing for the girl and the other bloke involved.

Aslan

I just saw Aslan on 'The Podge and Rodge Show' performing 'This Is.' But it was mimed. Initially, I was disappointed, but then I thought - "Hang on; a talking lion! That's fucking awesome!"

I'm glad I remembered to post this.

I have a photographic memory. I just don't have any film at the moment.

Cell Phones

Just saw two mobile phones in the Garda Station wired up to a portable music player. Turns out they're being charged in connection with a stolen iPod.

Definitely Articulate

A Russian ex-girlfriend used to bemoan the use of definite and indefinite articles in English. Russian doesn't have them and she argued they're redundant in English. I countered that they're important to make subtle distinctions, but she pooh-poohed my assertions. Which is just as well, as I was then able to look her straight in the eye and tell her that I quite often got clap in my younger days as a touring musician.

Don't Disturb the Status Quo

Given how uncertain things are at the moment, I think the most important thing is not to disturb the Status Quo. They might wake up and start playing one of their awful songs.

Huge Strides

The clothing industry shows little sign of economic recovery except the Oversize Trousers Factory where they are making huge strides.
