Angry, Nasty And Hellbent

I interviewed a film director one morning last week and then went to the doctor straight afterwards with an earache in my left ear.
As you do.
“Hmm,” the doctor mused, peering into my right ear thoughtfully, despite me telling her there was nothing going on in that lobe. “Nasty.”
“Oh,” I said.
Then she took a [...]

Still Jumpin’…

The Rolling Stones are playing Twickenham Stadium again tonight.
I’m sitting here listening to them through my open window with a huge grin on my face but wishing with all my soul that I’d had a spare £200 to actually SEE them play this time.
Still… if I had a spare £200 I wouldn’t have spent it [...]

Third Time Lucky

My third post of the day about The Rolling Stones. Excuse me if I’m boring you, but I have to announce that at 9.49pm tonight they played Sympathy For The Devil, one of my all-time favourite songs (I even want it played at my funeral).
And not only could I hear the ‘Woo woos’, I [...]

Woo-woo

The Rolling Stones are really loud.
I can hear them, alright. I don’t think anybody in Twickenham is able to hear anything else right now. And I’m in bloody Richmond!
I can hear Mick Jagger singing and somebody playing the harmonica.
Ooooh.
This be very cool INDEED…

You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Seen A Guy On Stage Pretend To Be An AT-AT With Two Sink Plungers

I went to see The Reduced Shakespeare Company perform all six Star Wars movies in 20 minutes the other night.
Funny? Oh god, yes…
Before the show even started the Criterion Theatre was filled with Stormtroopers, a very convincing Darth Vader (who wagged his finger at me in a menacing manner; my bowels haven’t been the [...]

The Name’s Bond. John Bond.

First off: Happy Birthday Gold Anne! Hope you have a great day!
And moving on… I’m a fan of a Canadian band called Moxy Fruvous. Never heard of them? Yeah, no one else has, either, unless you’re from Canada. They’re fun, they’re sweet and I don’t even know if they’re still together, but I have [...]

Plane Crazy

A little ripple of September 11th passed over us today. Terrorists. Planes. Explosives. Thankfully, the police stopped death raining from the skies in the next few days (according to some reports, the attack was that close) and the culprits are in custody.
Hopefully. As a London commuter there’s a little, nagging voice wondering if a [...]

Complaints & Lapdogs

It’s a small old world. I posted a few days ago about how much I love Top Gear, then yesterday I logged onto the SFX forum for the first time in months and discovered there’s a thread running there all about how cool Top Gear is. Which is pretty strange, cos Top Gear isn’t exactly [...]
