Well I'm reading Tien Riu atm who I've always liked a bit but has a habit of far too long introductions and I watched two hours of Take That in concert and documentary today so it's been fun.
Yeah, ignore my grumpy grumpiness re: Melly. I’m just jealous. I was sitting here thinking what a truly great eccentric I could be if I had money to fully indulge all my eccentricities. I’d be one of the best. I wonder if I could get a development grant for that. Or sponsorship.
BH: both. a doc about the band from their humble beginnings to bids for solo stardom. And tho live gigs never film well, was totally reminded how fucking ACE they were at Earl's Court.
Keg: yay for sporty joy. My piss-poor football team won today, and may just not get relegated this season. so i'm feeling the sportsfan love...
I already gave my verdict on Leeds in the ‘play in white’ thread. I have no idea what sport Kegboy is watching, but I think all ball-oriented sports should end up in that thread. It’d be a glorious mess.
By the way, did anybody see the Barefoot Doctor’s expert advice for Posh in the Independent on Sunday? It’s really hilariously weird, even by his standards. I was thinking about cutting and pasting it from the IoS website into the Barefoot Doctor thread for barbe-posterity.
Well they've won more Stanley Cups than any other team but they been rather craptacular the past bunch of years.
(Shakes his fist to the sky) But this will be their year!!
BH: If I'm right, there are no balls in Keg's court, I think he's talking Ice Hockey(??). but i agree, that the 'white' thread should become a big 'my TEAM' shoutathon...
A) balls, pucks, pah! Same thing, just a bit flatter. We’ll let your weirdy ice-sport go in the ball thread, Keggers.
B) Gah, etc. Nothing to shout about. I’m not the shouty-type, anyway.
C) Done. See BD thread.
I think we need a new sport. Something that combines the grace and beauty of log rolling and the grim determination of polevaulting. And if you can somehow fit in a mechanical bull, that'd be good too.
(keg: yeovil is not a small stoat-like creature but is in fact a small town in the west of england.)
I don't understand the niceties of IceHockey at all, but think i could get into it, it's fast, full-on, and bloody violent, very adrenalin-heavy stuff.
