'Notebooks out, plagiarists!' "Currently cookerless due to continuing cable connection conundrum. Recent relentless precipitation problems persist, making baking bothersome thru waterlogged wiring..." #MDANT
#FallFriday Up half the night with cramp. Every night. "Out of the air sometimes in fitful sleep Snap right up, lean out of the bed Pivot your legs, shake your head Take an easy breath..." youtu.be/1EIifVwqQlc?...
Mrs S was there on Tuesday. A very different day. Nice park, apparently. 📸 Mrs S
Wondered what he was up to?! From creating pop-tastic hits for the likes of Petula Clark, Sasha Distell & Benny Hill to, as seen here, currently site managing redevelopment work at a Premier Inn, is there no end to Tony's talent? 🤔
Sunday coffee time, 4hrs fitful sleep, bleary-eyed grab at random coffee mug. Could've done worse. Anyway...on with Sunday, all 🙂
Me at the Turbonegro gig on a boat on the Thames in 2002: note Japanese Bambi shirt! 🙂
Hotel view: 10 pm last night. City to the left of me, Canary to the right, here I am 🙂
#FallFriday Had to vacate Stately Slaughter Manor for the evening. "Get a hotel today Get a hotel today She says, get a hotel Ne'er do well Get a hotel Get a hotel Before the bike siren calls And the horn siren yells It says, get a hotel..." youtu.be/xkIf3PIWvkk?...
Looked different when I took a photo of him in the player's lounge at Anfield... 🙂 📸 me
#FallFriday Met Smith's mum once (Bolton Albert Halls, 2.11.07). She was alright 🙂 Never met Paula Yates... "Then I read Paula Yates on Vision mopeds Then I found out we were not going to Italy Later mam said, "Them continentals are little monkeys..." youtu.be/WxT6a0PavTo?...
Unless I'm very much mistaken, The Throwaway Sun has made a glaringly obvious mistake in one of their bits in your piece: England came back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 against Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup. The Sun? Making an error?? Whatever next?!(the same for the next million years, I guess 🙄)
Just looked up the details of a former contractor for the company: one Richard English. Surely a cousin of (shhhh.... Ricky Spanish?!) 🤔
I've deliberately kept out of this little game...until now. Hydration break...
#ToTP Gertcha Jools 'Olland! We ain't 'aving no two boogie woogie Joanna players on the same ToTP!! 🤨
#ToTP Bonnie Tyler and her 16 cans of Harmony Hairspray ❤️
#ToTP Charlie Harper, aged c.68, 1979 Gawd bless 'im 🙂
#ToTP Thin Lizzy and their unfeasibly large testicles...
Fuck knows what that audience were on. Certainly nothing to do with the mild exortations of LL.
#FallFriday If you're driving with the windows down and, in this heat, who could blame you, play this at full blast. The motorik is a joy to behold! 🙂 'If you're like me you're a complete and utter pranny You'll know what I mean when I say recipe...' youtu.be/TIy3b4YxDKU?...
I recently met up with someone from my past, a man with evidence from my shameful previous life, a life so scandalous that it has, until now, been hidden away under lock & key. 55 years on, & outside of the Official Secrets Act, it can now be revealed. I was an 18yr old smoker/light & bitter man 😞
Has to be said that, with the aircon working nicely, a well stocked fridge within arms reach and an ice cream van parked 5mtrs from the shop doors, there's worse places to be working today 🙂😎🌞
As, indeed, is Steve's spider. Hope it's not one of them there False Widows. As if the real ones weren't enough 🙄 Bloody attention seekers... (One I 📸 at Xmas, at Stately Slaughter Manor)
Never been to a cat cafe before. Have now. Really big fun. Couldn't really take too many pics, as there were kids and dependent people in the cafe, but it was very nice to have a Catpuccino and pet several friendly (about 20+) rescue cats, hoping that they'll soon be homed. Recommended 👍
Reflections on a nice wedding #4 My admiration for my former bandmate went up a notch yesterday. Not only was the wedding great, and the happy couple looked fantastic, but Paul decided to remind me how great a bass player he was 👏 Jah Wobble, take note 🙂
Reflections on a nice wedding #3 Isn't it great to spot a weird street name in a strange town? Spotted this one and said to Mrs S, 'This is your road! 😋'. After parrying a flurry of blows to the head and shoulders, we drove on. (I do, of course, kid! 🙂)
Reflections on a nice wedding #2 If you're going to have some wedding photos taken outside a windmill, make sure that it's Paul McCartney's recording studio/windmill 🙂 Macca was a no-show, btw.
Reflections on a nice wedding #1 Whilst the oldest son of the bride made a great MC for the wedding & reception (think Danny Dyer introducing a wrestling match), there is no truth in the rumour that when Al Murray hangs up the Pub Landlord job, that Yosser Hughes Jr will be taking over the pub...
