well i got this guitar and i learned how to make it talk
Okay, so, joint effort this evening. There we were, at the naming ceremony - more of that in a minute - and this guy, a bit of a mouthy type, was giving it some about personal websites. You knew the undertone, he was saying how it was fine, trendy and all, to have one when you were travelling. But when you were home? When you were just normal people? Surely not. What's the point...
Yes, another dig, but still we plough on regardless. Another week in the life of normal people.
Top of the event tree was the naming ceremony. Not a christening, a naming ceremony. Brother and sister-in-law are too bloody 'right-on' to believe in GOD and so a naming ceremony it is. Snide ('just stop sniping') comments aside, said event was actually quite nice. A lovely poem, lots of kids, a bouncy castle and a free meal - always handy when you are unemployed.
Aside from that, Starbucks went west. Which was fine because obviously I was going to turn them down because they were a corporate monster and there's no way we wanted their money to fund our extravagant lifestyle. Though it may have come in handy for a week or two.
Ms Love is still waiting on the same 2nd interviews as of this time last week. The key one is with NTL - forward all those customer service horror stories on if she gets it.. (the job that is...)...
As regular readers of this website might have noticed... my birthday managed to pass off without even a flicker of recognition from my future in-laws in sunny Gravenhurst. And this was after we'd gone to the trouble of buying a headset microphone just so we could phone them lots for free from the computer. That's the last time we drink their homemade wine...
Oh, and the car is still there. Still in the parking space. All survelliance operations on hold while the Etchells are on holiday in Champagne. We await their instructions...
Finally, Crystal Palace. Much maligned. The words of our esteemed chairman speak true...
'Every club has its own identity: I always thought Palace were a bit flighty, bit flash, lacking in substance - a legacy of Terry Venables and Malcolm Allison. In human form we were the Fast Show character - a little bit tasty, a little bit 'whoooar', a little bit 'wayyy'....
And they say everyone's football club should reflect their personality...
