Its a shame you cant see this, but there's some great instumental breaks in there too, specially for tin whistle lovers
. It's great for Irish dancing too .
There's another comm meeting tomorrow so I will write about that soon, but I dunno whether to do something else first.
We can't go back to Felbury, where last years was, cos we figured we'd have loads more people next time
. I think we're just about settled on the Rembrandt in Weymouth.
Everyone's still open to offers though, cos someone's still bound to moan. Apart from that, Oxford has the regional Xmas party this year. I know it's a bit of a task, but I look forward to all that.
Simon's decided now too what to do with the bursary money from last years Paul Hope award. We (he) want wants a projector and a video cam. We're not sure which brand yet, but thats being worked on right now .
The first prob was that it took a carrying job by about 3 people to even get me into church
. It was freezing too, like you've never experienced in a lifetime before.
It cheered up though when we got past all the officialdom and got talking about Adam. The best parts (for me), were Adams childhood poem (and the signing), and Leo's story about him at the Boyzone gig (ask if you really wanna know cos now I ain't got time to explain
).
It was great to be able to think of something so positive, you know. The wake was a great chance to catch up with loads of people, and I actually enjoyed it a bit.
This was one of my mega-quickies again, those ones that drop off my fingers in about 20 min. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back really soon (Sunday/Monday, I guess).
I guess I'll do another song, but hang on and see
.
If you don't know, see if you can work it out
. I know these lines mostly sound like nonsense, but I think it's actually really clever.
I think it all really works in a true poetic sense, rythms and that. I do have a couple of little criticisms. Has anyone got any ideas on the inspiration behind that line about hanging salamis?
There might just be a few too many repetitions too, especially the word to .
That's all for now.
I'll be back really soon, hopefully with another update on the meeting and that. Please listen to all my songs, haha
.
Bowling on Fri night was fun too. I didn't win, but I still think I should have. I lost by one point cos my last ball was rubbish, haha.
It was fun getting there though.
12.65 - 24.02.
07) smiling in heaven someplace. I'm still in disbelief you can leave us in a day when no-one even knew you were even sick. At least I hope there was no real pain involved, but I dunno cos you'd gone by the time I found out.
We WERE gonna come back for that Chinese soon, I promise. I know now we left it too long, but everyone says that every time anyone dies on us. I know life ain't easy for any of us, but you even manage to inspire me sometimes cos there was things you managed that I was telling myself were impossible.
It did take me about another six months to GET to the gym after I spoke to you, but I'd still be moaning about how it was impossibe for me if I hadn't spoke to you
. Everyone's missing you loads, its not only me.
Everyone said you'd never say a bad word to a soul. Sadly missed, please rest in peace.
Sorry to anyone who might be reading this who might not give a monkeys bout any friend of mine or not have a clue who I'm talking about, but I guess I needed it cos its all that's going through my head right now
. I'll be back really soon, by the weekend I hope.
I'll at least be a bit better again by then. I guess I'll do another song.
I can't go into it all, but mostly because I think most of them are true. One of my favourites has to be the one about the sheep, cos you know me and sheep. Its just cos it involves a sheep . The other one I'll mention has to be the one about members of minorities, cos, hey, don't I know that's REALLY true.
I hope you enjoy them. I hope maybe they can bring some enlightenment or something. Seeing as I've now REALLY run out of more interesting stuff to do, I WILL be back by the end of the month with the next general upate.
I dedicate this to every single person who has ever vaguely made me laugh, listened or had any other such positive effect. Kiitos paljon, vielen Dank, thanks always.
I'll be back at the weekend, with another another general update, no doubt. Sorry for being so sappy today, I guess though we've all gotta say it sometimes. Maybe it'll even help someone.
Gotta go now.
I heard it and just liked it. It's a poem thats got rythm, you know. It was great to hear someone else read it, cos it stuck in my head right away.
You should try reading it aloud. Here goes..
.
Its a shame I don't really know any of the history behind it. I guess Auden could almost be considered as one of my favourite poets, well, I love this and the Four Weddings and a funeral one
.
I hope you enjoy it.
I hope to do another song, but I dunno yet.
We went out for a meal on Valentine's day, went shopping and for a meal in Oxford yesterday and, we visited Simon's great Uncle Frank in hospital. He's got some kind of a hip problem, but I don't really get what it is yet. At least he seems to be ok, he's still sore, but I think it's better than it was cos at least he was laughing and stuff .
I gave Simon a funny ornament type thing of a sheep dressed as a thief with a heart in a swag bag. He seemed to give me loads, another toy sheep, some chocs and a bunch of roses
.
We had the meal in Don Giovannis Italian, where we went for Simons dads birthday. It was lovely and romantic, they were giving out roses too
.
The menu was cool, I chose prawns for starter, veal for main course (cos I never tasted it before) and the pud you didn't get a choice but it was a kind of strawberry sponge
. The one mildly amusing part was finding that the prawns needed the heads taking off before you could eat them, I've REALLY never seen that .
I found out too, in Smiths, that the book i've been after for months has FINALLY come into a paperback version this week. I've not got it yet cos I've got too much else to read, but I definitely will as soon as I move on to the next book.
It's not obvious though, he's not being all boring and saying what everybody knows. I've never thought about Britain like this before, and you can even see it on the picture in the book.
I gotta say, maybe the lyrics are a bit false for the situation. The guitar solos are excellent though, and I really can't sit still. It really shows the guitar playing and writing talents of theese lads who got a false cheesy reputation.
Rock on! Enjoy.
I've been in twice already this week, and we'll be back again on Sat, that's three. I've progressed again since I wrote about it last ages ago. I'm now using 2kg weights for the tricep lifts (I forget if I was on 1.
5 or 1 the last time I wrote about it. As well as that I am now using the hand bike set to resistance level three, as opposed to 2. I hope to get my legs moving sometime soon too, Lesley, the physio, promised to come back to check that was ok and everything.
I've a card for you already, dude, but wait and see, its a surprise
. We were thinking about going for a meal on the evening, but we still dunno where to go yet.
We were still thinking about loads of places
. I'll let you know where we go and how we get on after we eventually go to it.
I gotta go now. I wrote this in about 20 min. Ain't that amazing (for me, anyway).
Sorry if it sound like I dont say much. I'll be back at the weekend, I think it'll be another song.
A pair of newb orn lambs on a farm in Wales are being cared for by a Rottweiler after having been born with complications . The lambs, Lucky and Charm, needed treatment for poor circulation and were being placed in an aga when Molly the dog took over. They are now recovering and should be in a field soon.
The justification of prosecuting lawyers was If it were a person, they would be put behind bars. Why not a cow?
A woman was searched in Stockholm airport, Sweden, and found with 75 live snakes concealed down her top. Airport officials became suspicious after they spotted she couldn't stop scratching, from the snakes moving so much
The attack apparently took place because the victim spurned a woman on account of her size. The attackers have all now been charged with assault.
A high security prisoner in Germany has escaped prison after he was delivered in the mail having climbed into a cardboard box. He's still free, and the technique was only spotted after sorting office staff noticed a hole in the box.
I guess not much is going on in the world today, haha
. I hope you enjoy these anyway.
It always gives me a laugh to write stuff like this. I promise to write again really soon, with another general update, no matter what I do, that'll be Wednesday or Thursday.
This is my favourite song of the moment, but I don't know a lot about it. It's in Finnish and I know a bit, but I haven't quite worked out all the words yet. So much so, actually, that I had to find it from the website and paste the words in, but I wanted to put it here anyway.
.. Here goes.
From what I can translate now, it feels like its about being with something or someone that you love so much that you're not able to sleep for watching over them. Sorry I can't tell you more for now. I'll keep working on it.
..
It's like I said, too, doesn't it just say it like it is in the best way possible. This goes out to everyone who has, ever, made me feel, indeed, stupid. I needed to write it now, in my current high stress mindset.
Susan is then also kidnapped by the witch (she was in the wardrobe from playing hide and seek). Peter and the college cleaner (Hattie Harcourt, the panto dame) follow Susan into the wardrobe and end up having to rescue Susan from Hurseland. Champ, the pantomime horse, can break the spell cast by the witch, but he only appears once a year, and at full moon.
There were other characters less vital too. Tim and Bert the lumberjacks were assistants to the witch, and Peter met a Tina Turner mad squirrel, and Mr and Mrs Beaver.
It was all a classic panto type. He's behind you, boo, hiss, furry spiders, panto horse etc. The best part for me was probably the first song, (to Another Brick in the Wall ), about the merits of Davina McCall and how students only ever watch tv.
There wasn't a worst part, it was all cool, but you've gotta take it for what it is cos some parts are all pure cheese, you know? The fully made up panto dame etc.
I'll probably do another song. I've actually got a good idea of which one to do
.
Lindsay Boxer, Jill Bernhardt, Cindy Thomas and Claire Washburn are the four members of which fictional team or club?
Of which English mens name is the Czech name Honza believed to be a translation?
Anyone who wants to try this themselves can email me at . I'll either blog the answers separately or email back. I dunno yet
.
It was actually on the VERY first cassette tape I ever bought. I think it was March 1989. Jason is back on my radar cos of more than the jungle thing, to be honest, but I won't go into that.
It's great to be reminiscing again.
I've no idea what kinda thing I'll do though. Wait and see!.
Until next time, see ya
.
When we got there we had plenty to drink before we even got any food. Everyone else was drinking wine but I was vey upset cos of the painkillers I took so I could hardly have anything . I don't really remember what food everyone else had, but I started with mushrooms in garlic sauce, followed by a huge steak with some kinda tomato sauce on it (not really tomato sauce, but, you know, some kinda sauce with tomatoes in it). I know Simon's prawn cocktail starter was HUGE, and he had chicken breast with, I think, cream sauce.
I know, it's crap, I forgot
.
I was a bit disappointed there wasn't more veg with it. The potatoes were nice, but maybe there shoulda been more. We didn't have dessserts, cos we had loads of cake at home.
Everyone really enjoyed that too. The only prob for me by the end of the night was that my chilblains were killing me itching so bad, so I was really having to rake them on the side of the table and stuff to make them stop. Other than that though, it was a really great night.
Its all quite quiet for the next few weeks. Oxford group decided last night we wanna go back to Avon Tyrell this year too. It was either that or Mersea Island, and I think it was my comments about the state of the showers that decided against it.
The next real thing for Oxford would be the Botley Community panto, next week
.
I'll be back really soon, Friday maybe
.
Wait and see what I find to put here for you. Until next time, see ya
Canadian schools avoid the teaching of any kind of religious practice. Parents claim Prayer is unfair and yet they're allowing yoga, which is religion.
The death was said to be tough , and the man suffered greatly, and he cleaimed it was his mothers wish to be kept in such a way.
I'd love to know more about the law in Alaska that permits men to beat their wives, but no more than once a month. If anyone has found out any more about that, let me know .
I PROMISE next time to do that write up on Simon's dad's birthday.
To anyone going through any kinda hard, especially who knows me, May you always know the truth and see the light surrounding you . It's like I said, this is something everyone relates to. Take from it what you want.
He looked at the rifle again, and then once more at the target. He placed his finger over the end of the rifle barrel and squeezed the trigger with his other hand. The end of his finger was blown off -- whereupon he yelled toward the target area.
.. But you've got no arms.
.. you can't do this job!
says the church leader. The new applicant shouts back - Sure I can..
. I'll do it with my mouth! He begins ringing the bell using only his mouth, but the bell is so heavy, it tosses him out the window to the ground and splatters him dead.
Who is that guy? one person says. I don't know says another, but his face sure rings a bell.
..
The supervisor is puzzled by this and says what's wrong with the co-worker telling you your hair smells nice? 9 An army Major visits the sick soldiers, goes up to one private and asks - To get back to the front lines, Sir! Good man!
says the Major. What treatment are you getting? Five minutes with the wire brush each day, Sir!
To get to the front of the line and get the wire brush before the other two - Sir!
10 A blond died her hair brown because she was tired of being picked on, She was driving along the countryside when she got a bright idea and stopped at a nearby farm. she said to the farmer If i can tell you how many sheep you have in total can I have one?ok said the farmer, so she quickly counted them and said 91. The farmer looked around astonished and said alright take one As she was walking back to her car the farmer said If i can guess your natural hair colour can i have my dog back?
It cheered me up writing them
.
I hope there was nothing too obvious in there. I found the one about what the ghost ate at the party and refused to put that in . I guess my favourite has gotta be the major and the sick soldiers, and if everyone woulda laughed if i didn't include the one about the blonde counting sheep
.
It's Simon's dad's birthday do this week too, so I promise too to write about that really soon
.
I guess one of the main reasons for that was the fact we ended up getting so pissed watching tv on Wed night that neither of us felt like getting up till about 1pm the next day
.
Oh, I forgot to say, I was ok about drinking at the time cos over Christmas and New Year I managed without the pills for a fortnight. It just pisses me off now that since then I've had two doses in a week, but, there was nothin I could do.
Simon's dad, Ann, Nicky and Ruth all came for a big buffet lunch. It was cool and we all talked for ages, with enough food to feed a small army. One of the biggest things we all talked about was the fact that Ruth is gonna run the marathon next year ![]()
. Simon did all the food in the end. It was a shame but I was still asleep when he got up and I tried to then fell asleep again
. After they all left we went to town again for another walk (mainly for a bottle of talcum powder
). I picked up a very interesting book too, Taking the Piss - A Potted History of Pee .
It's interesting, what can I say? We were tired after all that so came back to watch tv and dvd.
That was Sales Day , our day at the Jan sales. I seemed to spend loads of money. It was all on absolute new toys , you know, games and cds.
The Marks voucher I got from Simon's dad came in very useful too, I spent it on one of their smart shirts, the ones I wear for parties and stuff
.
My mum was in Oxford too, so she was able to give us a lift to PC world. Simon spent the vouchers he had months ago from the day at ACE centre, you remember that one. He was well pleased with all the stuff he got.
(A 320 gb external drive, and a fancy dvd making software prog). Me and mum both laughed at the idea of how much music could fit on 320 gb. I nearly forgot to that it was Saturday that we went out for another meal at the Dil Raj curry house.
It was all lovely and we had too much booze again
.
It was a chef's choice menu so to be honest I don't even know what a lot of it was
.
Beyond that, next week is Simon's dad's 60th birthday and we're all off out on the day so I promise to write about that one asap.
It's a bit like the Travis song I put here a couple of days ago, except this has nothing to do with being able to sleep or not, haha. Enjoy !!
The CD is probably in every other house in the country. I know it does sound kinda depressing, and sometimes it kinda is, but the melody is amazing, and you gotta take it all as one. It's very mellowing too, it's one of those songs I love to play last thing, just to chill.
Like I said, it was what was in my head last night when I couldn't sleep, just for something to help. I hope it helps some other insomniacs too, haha. Enjoy!
! .
I'll prob do another song for complete lack of anything else
.
