The Return Of Rothkoid

Aside from being unfeta-d (ho ho), how are you and Lurid, MC? I haven't written for an age.

No no no, you have it all wrong. Feta makes life hell, when Im abroad. Cheese pies? OOOhh yum! I love cheese, I love pie. But then it comes, and it's an abomination of a cheese pie, with gooey yucky feta squidging through the otherwise lovely pastry. Hence the obsession of cheddar. It doesn't taste silly, for any purpose.

The worst cheese I ever had was when I was at a little diner and just wanted a toasted cheese sammich and they said they had two flavors:

White and yellow.

*shudders*

And yes, the first meal I ever made on the first over I ever owned was a toasted cheese sammich. No matter how much I think I am a grownup with refined taste, I still love them with all my black little heart.

I can't find the Bullseye theme anywhere? What's wrong with the world?

Saint Keggers

19:04 / 12.03.04

The Bullseye theme???

Bear

19:07 / 12.03.04

This is an important issue... The world I ask you, where is the Bullseye theme!!!

And not the American theme whatever the hell that is, I bet there's no Jim Bowen!

Oh no...now I'm going to have that "Here's what you could've won!" meme running through my head all night.

gb, apricot laced Stilton is exquisite. Particularly with a dollop of chili jam or recurrant jelly on top.

I rememeber in Israel that they only ever had "cheese" or "yellow cheese" (sometimes called "salty cheese"). Yellow /salty was halloumi, which we lived on, but never found out what they consider kosher cheese there.

And their pizza sucked.

Saint Keggers

19:09 / 12.03.04

What the hell is the Bullseye theme???

Grey Area

19:15 / 12.03.04

...I found it on Kazaa. At least, I think it is. Jaunty piano riffs with bouncy, Benny-Hill-esque rhythm, yes? PM me an e-mail address and it's yours. Warning: sounds like it was recorded off the telly, but it's not too bad.

Bullseye was a television game show that ran in Britain in the 80's...I think. Featured a mascot called Bully and a very irritating host. People who lost got a porcelain statue of Bully to take home. Goes to show how memorable the actual content of the show was that this is all I can remember. That and the phrase "Here's what you could've won!" that was crowed every time someone lost...

If anybody wants to have a bet: UK for Eurovision are a dead cert. I heard the guy (whatever his name is), singing an acoustic ‘rendition’ of the song (whatever it’s called) on the radio the other day. Now, I'm indifferent to Eurovision, I’ve never watched pop idol or fame academy or anything of that ilk, and I was doing something else while he was crooning his way thru the song; but damn, it must have been fitted with fish-hooks because I’ve been singing it ever since. It’s been days now and I just can’t shake it off. That’s one irritatingly catchy fucking tune. It’s flu in the form of a song.

Grey Area

19:42 / 12.03.04

Oh, Eurovision song contest is on again? Guess the Beeb is going have to dust off Terry Wogan once more. Is it just me or does this thing get less and less publicity every year?

Saint Keggers

19:45 / 12.03.04

Not knowing who he is, I think Terry Wogan is a great name. Its just the type of name you'd think Fozzy Bear would have had before changing to a stage name.

Bed Head

19:50 / 12.03.04

Oh, I don't think it's for weeks yet, GA. I have no idea. After last years' beautiful moment where Europe told the UK exactly what they thought of us, I think there's some effort being made to try winning the thing this year, ie by picking someone who can actually sing and using a song written by a professional songwriter. Which are both new strategies, I think. I don't even know what the odds are. All I'm saying is, it's a goodie.

Grey Area

19:53 / 12.03.04

Terry Wogan = British TV presenter, now a radio DJ who caters to the 35-55 segment on Radio 2. His major TV outing every year used to be the Eurovision Song Contest that he would moderate for the BBC with ascerbic wit and wry humour. Imagine an episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 based around an annual music show.

Grey Area

19:58 / 12.03.04

As long as they don't try what my home nation did with that Guildo character a few years back...that guy was freakin' insane...and the song. It still haunts me with its 'Guildo loves you all' chorus. *shudders*

by picking someone who can actually sing and using a song written by a professional songwriter. ...doesn't this fly in the face of the Eurovision Song Contest tradition???

Bear

20:19 / 12.03.04

I dunno about bullseye i'm pretty wasted but I just wanted to hear it... my email address is on my user profile I think?

Bear

20:44 / 12.03.04

Grey Area sent me the theme, at least I think it was him/her - nice one though it's downloading now

Sit down next to me.....

Grey Area

20:59 / 12.03.04

So...was it the right theme?

gingerbop

21:03 / 12.03.04

I loved last years, when Terry Wogan was saying how it was ridiculous that we got nil points just because of politics. Was he deaf?

Grey Area

21:09 / 12.03.04

No. He was being Terry Wogan, the Beeb's answer to Fozzy Bear.

Ahem. I just found out that Brighton isnt in the North West of England at all. Thank you Barbelith World Map, you've educated me.

Bed Head

22:01 / 12.03.04

I bet you were confusing it with Blackpool. I’ve done that.

gingerbop

22:11 / 12.03.04

I'll admit, I thought they were close (or at least on the same coastline), but no- I never ever thought it was there at all. It's very far away. Just like the pot noodles and kettle seem right now.

Jack Vincennes

22:14 / 12.03.04

I spent several years thinking they were one and the same, and saying "ah yeah, the place with the tower" whenever someone talked about either Brighton or Blackpool. Still can't get used to the fact that the latter's in the North...

gingerbop

23:13 / 12.03.04

I cant get used to the former being in the South.. I cant believe so many geographical bitties of my own country have passed me by with such regularity. I didnt know East Anglia was in England for a long time as well, and when Jade of Big Brother said this, the entire nation laughed at her. And I kept very quiet.

23:37 / 12.03.04

I was a child in East Anglia, and it is only notionally in England. Mainly, it's on the set of the Wicker Man. We worshipped pretty well anything in my tiny startling village.

Meanwhile, I have discovered the true nature of obsession. It is documenting at length your appearance on the US version of "Family Fortunes" 14 years ago. With your team captain in face paint.

The Z-Man tells all.

I am a whole world of afeared.

Bed Head

23:45 / 12.03.04

I was a child in East Anglia

I don’t bloody well think so, Haus. I was a child in East Anglia, and I’m quite sure I would have noticed you.

Olulabelle

00:10 / 13.03.04

I was a child in East Anglia, and I am damn sure I would have noticed both of you.

Bed Head

00:12 / 13.03.04

Olula! I always ran away when I saw you coming. You know what boys are like.

Well? Is it accomplished?

Olulabelle

00:15 / 13.03.04

And BTW, I need to just write here, in print, (for the record,) how happy I am about the Haus name change.

ONLY NICE THINGS

00:41 / 13.03.04

Although I must now bear a typo in my own name for the next 26 days. Harsh.

Oh, the irony!

gingerbop

00:56 / 13.03.04

At least you haven't misplaced any apostrophes.

Ooooooh I'm so excited, I can't wait to get out of here so much! woodleywoodelywoooo! And I see you all couldn't wait to get out of East Anglia. Evening Olulabelle.
