Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - The Secondary Phase.

That reminds me of a cartoon by Tim Burton; "Never shoot a constipated poodle." You can imagine the picture....!!!!

Just started reading The Beach by Alex Garland*. Saw the film when it came out (Leo De Caprio) but never bothered with the book before now. Silly mistake, it's pretty riveting especially as Richard descends inexorably into amorality....it's a bit Lord of the Flies in that regard. *Alex Garland also wrote a novella called The Coma which is quality; bloke gets attacked on the tube and gets beaten unconscious. He then wakes up from the coma....or thinks he does. He might still be in that twilight cerebration between wakefulness and sleep....or is he? Good short read that mucks your head up.

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest Xx - Xx....again. Can't stop playing it.

Got Moon on DVD for Chrimble 'cos I loved it when I saw it at Harbour Lights when it came out. Second time around it's even better 'cos even though I know what's going on there are so many clues that you miss the first time of watching. Without giving too much away if you havent seen it, Sam Rockwell plays the part of an astronaut 'caretaker' of a mining installation on the moon. [The film is set in the mining installation which controls 3 harvesters which collects Helium 3 for processing an despatch to Earth as a clean energy source]. He's just coming to the end of his 3 year stint when he has an accident with one of the harvesters and wakes up in the medical bay of the installation....and this is where I can't say too much more for fer of giving anything away. Sam Rockwell is basically the only actor in this film and his studied approach to isolation and loneliness is absolutely brilliant. The moonscapes and vehicles are models (with some post shooting editing so that it doesn't look to 'Space 1999/UFO) as the whole thing was made on quite a modest indie budget. But it's a return to a sci fi genre with no pretensions with echoes of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Silent Running, Dark Star. Give it a go, you will not be disappointed. Oh, the score for the film is by Clint Mansell which reminds me; must dig out Requiem for a Dream later....

I hate crushing pills up and putting them in my Gran's dinner. I feel sneaky, but if I got her pregnant I'd never be able to forgive myself.

That would be Bullet in the Head. Next Christmas's no. 1? Glad RATM got to no.1. It's a top choon. I didn't buy it for this campaign tho 'cos I've already got it, but I'm so glad that the X-Factor stranglehold* on the Christmas no. 1 spot has been broken. How about UK Subs 'Stranglehold' as a contender next year?!!!!

I was reading in the paper today about this dwarf that got pick-pocketed. How could anyone stoop so low? I was walking in a cemetery this morning and I saw a bloke hiding behind a gravestone. I said “Morning. He replied, “No, just having a 5h1t.” I had a mate who was suicidal. He was really depressed, so I pushed him in front of a steam train. He was chuffed to bits. I’m here all week!!!!

I've just wasted bl00dy £25!!!! Bought Tiger Woods' "My Favourite 18 holes." Turns out it's about golf....

[sorry....didn't see it....:confused:]

I think the Delgados got their name from the Spanish Tour de France cyclist Pedro Delgado Robledo 'cos Alun Woodward was a big cycling fan; hence the name of the album; Peleton. Apart from that, I'm not sure what they're doing now, I thought they'd packed it all in and Emma Pollock went off on her own.

I think it was quiet up until Norwich's 2nd goal which had a hint of offside about it. It got a bit noisy after that. My 10 year old nipper has been coming to football with me quite regularly this season and he said that last nights match was the best by far he'd been to. Not so much for the football but for the atmosphere and banter and the excitement of the penalty shootout which was far more tense than the Torquay one. He was also puzzled as to why so many people left before the final whistle....I too was confused by this knowing from long experience that this is something you just don't do with Saints. Anyway, Paul Lambert says that "Football can be really cruel and we [Norwich] deserved to go through. Alan said the same."

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third, everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques. She decided to get in a couple of more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice, compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will require round-the-clock care. And he will now be your career!' The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed. The lady doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. Show me what you bought.'

Ned's Atomic Dustbin - God Fodder.

F*** you, I won't do what you tell me.... Today, I have been making my ears bleed to Jane's Addiction; Ritual De Lo Habitual and The Delgados; Hate and then Peleton.

Stardeath and White Dwarfs: Birth Deer Tick: Born on Flag Day. Quality albums even if I do say so myself.

Job done and after we scored it sounded pretty comfortable until the battery on my radio packed up and I later found out that it ended 2-3....Glad it did pack up if it got that much of a nail biter!!!! I was listening to it on Solent; does anybody know what 'dithering and dathering' is or means??!!!!

I went to the doctors yesterday and asked him if he treated alcoholics. "Of course I do." he replied. "Great," I said, "You couldn't take us out for a couple of pints then could you? I'm f****in' skint ...."

It's not a session brew is it?

+1, even if he was Welsh.

I got into a crowded lift and farted. It was wrong on every level. I married way too young; lovely Chinese girl she was. But she was a tennis pro, love meant nothing to her.

Oriental Paradise in Shirley next door to their take away, The Magic Wok. Tip top food and service.

With regards the Pacquioa v Cotto fight, I really couldn't call it. But in the fight I expected a bit more from Cotto tbh. Still, it was a cracking contest and worth getting up for. Mayweather is now on the bandwagon saying Bring It On....accusing Pacman of being one dimensional and predictable. A Pacman v Mayweather contest will be the fight of the century. Akin to Sugar Ray v Marvellous all those years ago. I can't wait!!!!

This bloke walks into a pub in his pyjamas, dressing gown and wheeling a drip on one of those stands on wheels. Landlord says “You alright mate? What’ll you have?” Bloke says “I’ll have a triple whisky please, but I shouldn’t really with what I’ve got.” The bloke drinks his whisky, smacks his lips and lets out a great sigh of relief. Landlord says “You look like you really needed that. Do you want another?” The poorly chap says “Yes, okay thanks, but I really shouldn’t with what I’ve got.” Landlord gives him his drink and the bloke starts sipping it. So the Landlord decides to broach the subject; “So, er, what have you got?” He asks the bloke. “20p” comes the reply.
