Musings From The Chair

They arrive and go into the nearest pie shop where they get into a fight after asking about the client's cousin twice removed.

They are overwhelmed by twenty or thirty really big villagers. The little village in Wales is living in terror of Tony Blair and the accompanying band of thugs.

Face convinces the villagers to let them go by saying - "It's got to be done! Think of the pasties!"

Hannibal comes up with a plan. He has B.A. turn a Cat O' Nine Tails and a big wrench into a deadly skateboard.

Hannibal pretends to be Headmaster, but Tony Blair catches on and tries to headbutt Hannibal. Murdoch rescues Hannibal at the last second.

Then Hannibal goes in their front door in their deadly skateboard. They manage to defeat all the thugs. Tony Blair holds a gun to Face's head and escapes using the deadly skateboard as transportation.

The A-Team pursues them. Murdoch shoots out the side window. When Tony Blair slows down to take a turn Gilraen's cousin twice removed jumps out and is helped up by Face.

Hannibal throws explosives, causing the deadly skateboard to crash and flip over. Tony Blair climbs out unharmed. Hannibal says "I love it when a plan comes together!".

Send me food parcels, Swedish masseurs, a thousand time zones.

I love you all.

"The path of my life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd!"

Well, I had an exhausting week last week and slept most of the week-end. Off to York for the day on Thursday, although I have heard reports of monsoons and tidal waves down the Ouse so am expecting to be stopped on the way back to Edinburgh 10 minutes out of York station with a flood warning, back home by midnight. Damn these floods - where did they all come from? What the hell is going on? Bah.

Well, it's been a lonely week. But I am awaiting a scanner from the Home Delivery Network (which seem a bit cowboy to me, not sure it will arrive until Michaelmas) and so I will be very soon sharing with you some interesting photos. You have been warned.

Right. Off to find a bit of Blackadder on You Tube. Share and all that...

Oh, and I believe there are a few memes going about, although 'name 5 things that are in your bag' seems a bit scraping-the-barrel (no offense). Dare say I will do it though (goes off to plant some interesting things in bag).

TTFN, Gil x

Chris Rock.

This one goes out to the Schmebs, who needs a bit of TLC at the moment. Here's to another week of not looking after that hoard of unruly kids!

I remember you used to love this song, one of the cheesiest ever in existence. But we know we're all going to singalong anyway.... (you should have had this as your 'first dance' song).

Take care, Bab. xx

And also, you had The Return of Bruno album on cassette and I was so jealous of your cool tastes that I had to get it too - my GOD, he looks so young now....

Amount of work achieved on site today: 2.5 hours.

Amount of haribos eaten to sustain energy: 42 (including a strawberry sour).

But there are only so many things that you can look at on the Internet so, unless anyone has nay other ideas, I shall continue reading my masterpiece 'I Am Legend' by Richard Matheson. An excellent SF classic, albeit one that you can read in one evening. Thanks to a Clockwork Orange last night I only got halfway through it before turning in for sleep.

Now, I have seen The Omega Man with Chuck 'from my cold dead hands' Heston (always thought he was a little old to be credible in the role) and didn't realise it was supposed to be about vampies, just thought it was zombie-like dudes.

And I hadn't even heard of the Vincent Price version!

However, I am nearly through it and, apart from the flashbacks, I suspect that Francis Lawrence had to spice up the action with a bit of CGI and 'alone in the city' escapades for his new film of the book out now with Will Smith. And I don't see Virginia Neville, or even Kathy Neville in the credits, so perhaps a few name changes have happened or a tap-dance on the plot maybe? I will have a watch of it anyway, what comes out of the book is the internal struggle of Neville as a man on his own and his slow descent into alcoholisom and insanity as he tries out figure out what has caused the dead to rise whilst being hounded by the undead at night. Looking forward to the scene when his watch stops and he nearly doesn't make it. Well, I've just got to the bit where he's trying to befriend the dog, so let's hope that works out  - this picture promises things, but something tells me that the world will be saved, but it won't end well for Neville. Tough luck.
