WOW.... that's a lotta posting in six months... which is surely how long this blogue's been going...
HEY! I've only had one can today! Which is fantastic, considering it's 7:29pm as I speak...
Does everyone like my Amy Winehouse clips? F Me Pumps and her Never Mind the Buzzcocks drunk "performance" ... she is funnay!!
What's to tell today? Not very much except I've been heartily knackered out.
Had a bath this morning.
Elvis the gnome left a log in the toilet that was unflushable... man I don't know what the guy had been eating but this one had bark peeling off it, I swear ..!
A naked four year old Turkish boy just ran into the street and was about to start peeing up the front of the family shop when his mother came, packed him up, carting him in upside down ... That family are pretty crazy... They had an endlessly chirping budgie in their video shop. I don't know why it's not there any more. And their little boy has this electric toy tractor thing he goes gradddering up and down the pavements in as his dad and about seven uncles smoke cigarettes and talk about drugs consignments or whatever business keeps their very sparse local shops afloat ... (It's well known the Turks are bringing most of the heroin in. Strangely nine out of ten times you hear about drugs seizures it's always cocaine and not heroin that's been found. Am I the only one who finds this slightly odd??)
Right that's me for today I don't have lots to say ...
... O! But the Louis Armstrong CD is excellent!

Edyta asked me why the little Turkish boy wears no clothes... sorry it was a slight exaggeration, he had on a teeshirt but was naked from there down (ie the rude bits!)... and he was about to chirpily pee all over the front of their shop.. I mean...!!
If you like the second Amy Winehouse clip (her drunk on the BBC2 show) you can CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE AMY WINEHOUSE ON THE BUZZCOCKS - Entire show uncut! ... sorry but that's all Youtube have; else I'd have pasted up the entire show for yous ...
Oh, and if you want another entertaining Winehouse clip: see her here desperately upstaging Charlotte Church on an impromptu duetted rendition of Michael Jackson's Beat It! (yes! her of the "angel" voice has become an endlessly tubbing-out beerdrinking swearer with a TV show to match. Though no-one in the UK needs to be reminded of that little fact ...)
I HAVE TOLD MYSELF I AM WRITING MY MEMOIRS: what do you think of this idea? Is it a good one? I wanted to write a warning on the dangers of drugs that not only preaches to "say no" but explains how, as fully as possible, an ordinary person like me can get addicted. And how very hard it is to turn your life around once you are trapped ...
SORRY if today's post was a bit boring... was it? I force myself to post every day and not worry about the resulting blarble ... is it just blarble sometimes ..? .. surely , sometimes ...??~!?(!)

BEST BLOG OF THE DAY: POST WAR KID... excellent reminiscences in writing ...
i looooved the 1st video.
ReplyDelete& surely luis' cd would be fabulous. the classics.
& what was up with that turkish boy? didnt anyone teach him to actually WEAR his clothes sometimes?
Hey, Gledwood, you've got an award over at my blog!
ReplyDeleteEds: He is very naughty and adored. Turkish young boys are treated like little princes by their mothers and fathers so they can get away with murder ...
ReplyDeleteLiz: THANKS MOST EXCELLENTLY I WILL SHOWCASE IT TOMORROW WITH MY NOMINATIONS TO THE ACADEMY...
A naked four year old Turkish boy just ran into the street and was about to start peeing up the front of the family shop when his mother came, packed him up, carting him in upside down ... That family are pretty crazy...
ReplyDeleteHum... yeah. I agree. The family does sound a bit crazy.
About writing your memoires... I think it's a great idea. People need to know more about drugs, something in between propaganda and just say no.
The best book I read about drug was "Flash", written by a French guy (Charles Duchaussois) who took the trip to Nepal in the 1970. Great writer and honest.
Love Lois Armstrong and think the writing your memoirs is an excellent idea you have valuable insights worth sharing. Do it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the blog is interesting even when you think you've nothing to say. That's the mark of a talented writer. I'm not butterin' you up or anything (to what end?) Just tellin' it like I see it, mate!
ReplyDeleteTwo things, Gleds:
ReplyDelete1. I think writing your memoirs is a great idea;
2. Neither you nor your blog is not, repeat not, boring.
Now that I've got that out of the way, I'll answer a question you asked me about what I do as a job.
I type medical reports. I work two days a week in the city for a bunch of ophthalmologists or eye surgeons. Then from home I work doing the same thing but for various specialties, and I also proofread and correct the others' work.
I only work the mornings from home, then the afternoon is mine to do whatever...sleep, lunch, visit, blog, babysit and drink coffee with my neighbour. It's a good life.
heya.
ReplyDeletethanks, i'm great, just returned from a great holiday. how are you?
sure, you can "steal" anything on my blog, i'd be happy :) i'm trying to keep up with here via RSSs, but i'll be gone for 1-2 months time, won't have much time to update my blog. :/
You have some interesing neighbors.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Steve
Xist, man, you do post a lot!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, and don't inject too often, I say.
Cheers & ciao
