The everyday musings and mishaps of a guy now nearly thirty, living, working, and playing in London. Only duller...

Have you seen the Lite?

No. And I don't want your "freesheet" either! Alright, admittedly, it's got more news in it than that other one - but it's not as good - it's like a watered down version of Metro (if that were possible - and clearly, it is!). Choice is a good thing, but with Murdoch in one corner and the Daily Mail in the other, who do you put your money on?!

Lisbon


When in Lisbon, wear a Brasil t-shirt - you'll make lots of friends that way*




*See! A little knowledge of geo-politics and the local immigrant population can go a long way!

The Wedding of the Year - Part 2

You can get all manner of wedding cards - to our daughter, to my daughter and her husband, to mum, to my uncle and auntie, even to my brother and sister-in-law - but sister and brother-in-law has been harder to find! Is is because they know men are rubbish when it come to cards/remembering dates/emotions etc? Well, I like to think I'm not that bad - I measure my righteousness in this case by getting a Mother's Day Card really early (as I was there - ah, I see, male logic kicks in...) and there was at least one other bloke doing the same (another logical male perhaps?) - perhaps a card which says: "To Mum, from your loving son, who never buys you a gift because it's usually also near your birthday, and such, but please recognise my logical prowess (which I obviously owe to you) and how I bought this card about three weeks before I had to! Love, your son" would be a good idea?

Having really odd dreams about the wedding now - real anxiety type stuff about getting the reading wrong - well, in that classic dream like thing that happens, actually having the wrong reading to start with, in the wrong church, in the year 3321, or something...! - Well, will practice the reading over the next few days and will have to let the time-travelling be...

Stupid new phobia

I cannot wear plasters on the end of my fingers anymore, I mean, what's that about??!

Never had a problem before, but now it's like finger nails down the black-board...

(Ridiculous)

The Wedding of the Year, Part One

Sister Inane is to be an Inane no longer. As of next weekend, she becomes something else...

A production which has been a year in the making is almost upon us... and after the Oscars, it's my sister's wedding!

I'm very much looking forward to it, as an intergral member of the principal cast - well, as well as being brother of the bride and I am an usher - I know it's not quite best supporting actor, but with my reading and all, I should get a look-in on the Screen-Play nomination...?

Or failing that, Best Dressed Male - because we're all wearing the same thing, and I will look the best! - okay, maybe not as cute as my nephew or as handsome as the groom - I have to say that in case any Inanes are reading this - but close - do they do a Best Hair Cut at the Oscars? Or am I thinking the Brits...??

Best Rock Act?

Reason I mention it - I'm starting to feel nervous...

VD, again

Saw a young couple sat in a sad silence on the train this morning, and they both looked as though they had been crying before they left home...

Happy Valentines Day!

Tim

Further to this, I ACTUALLY met Martin Freeman (would you believe it!) He's a good DJ too! (Didn't mention the film though - but still think it's a sixth best film of last year!)
