Following on from Beko1987 post of Kevin Bloody Wilson, I remembered this song, made my night :)

He's up the road in aylesbury this month, too poor/not organize enough to get tickets. May buy the live DVD though!

 

I have his Christmas album in the car "Santa clause you cunt, where's me fucking bike?"

Woohoo...after 2 phone interviews, 2 face to face interviews, a presentation and a panel interview I have a job offer. Resigning from my current place on Monday in preparation for a world of more pressure, more travel and a bigger team. I must be mad.

You can stick that fucking phone right up your fucking arse was the first lyrics of his I ever heard, aged about 11.

Had an inexplicable urge to watch Moonraker today, so I did, and noticed something that I never had before:

 

 

That seat in the centrifuge.

 

It's a 'Petale' seat from a Renault 15, 17 or 5 Gordini / Alpine!

Also; it suddenly dawned on me that, years since taking over Rover, BMW will now sell you a 216SE of its own!

The new trainspotting trailer caught me off guard while I was having my lunch at work and for about 15 seconds it was 1996 again.

I have tickets to see KBW in Harrogate in December...! :-D

Glasgow in March for me for my 30th... I was at his last gig in Glasgow too where he had Jenny and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. Must've been on three hours at least. This March'll be the eighth or ninth time I've seen him.

Tory MP Stephen Phillips resigns from the conservatives on the basis they are inexorably heading towards the right.

 

I bit like getting married, then wanting a divorce on the basis that you are getting nagged at a bit.

On foot in Cheltenham today; waiting for the lights to change and my daydreaming is interrupted by the sound of a proper healthy V8 automatic. Expecting to see a Mustang,TVR or such, but no, an LDV Convoy of the home-converted camper sort, in rusty white.

Mr Giffer driving, Mrs Giffer knitting. When the lights changed he absolutely floored it, sounded glorious blasting past the Ladies College.

Giffer power!

 

Must have been using his £200 winter fuel payment up in the most fun way.

Are you from round these parts then? Thought I was the only Cheltenham based shiter!

Went to a sale recently, held by our local Lions club. I'd been doing my bit buying a few items of not much use when I noticed a stack of four wheels/tyres stacked up on top of each other, with a couple of wheelbarrow wheels shoved on top, so I couldn't see what they were. By the general dimensions though, I'd guessed they were Mini wheels. 

 

As the lot came up, bidding started and one of the helpers removed the wheelbarrow wheels and I saw that they were Mini Cooper S rims! (Note: vice in shot was a $2 rash purchase).

I heard people around me muttering as to why I'd bought them. Anyway, not owning a Mini and after looking at the code on the rims (LP918), Mr. Internet revealed they were 'ultra rare 5" reverse rims', so I did the right thing and put them on Trademe (Kiwi Ebay), where they sold for $356! I was working in Auckland yesterday and the nicest ever buyer turned up to collect them from me at my workplace. He was very grateful and insisted on giving me $50 for fuel, as a mega Brucey Bonus. Not bad for a set of old wheels picked up for $10!!!

 

I'm not keeping the cash though, as the proceeds have gone to help out a mate who's had quite a hard time recently, so it's all for a good cause.

Watching 'Children of Men', (sort of 1984 but set now, and with something to do with babies), and after having to dump their Fiat Multipla they got this instead:

Whilst it did make me grin, WHY? Why go to the trouble of hacking a couple extra doors into a car that's only in a couple of scenes? It has no bearing on the plot, it's just a car. Strange.

Local farm charging £50 for a family ticket to see their "360° fireworks" (whatever the fuck they are, I'm pretty sure I've never seen flat fireworks)

 

So drove to the park and ride, group ticket on the tram into Nottingham, fed five of us burgers and doughnuts and fizzy pop and still spent less than the admission to their crappy field.

Boot lock on A6 has been playning up - some spray oil sorted it.

 

An internet search revealed it is down to low temperatures.

 

Never mind migrating birds, when your A6 boot won't lock you know it's gonna be a cold'un.
