Anyone interested?

2 Chihuahuas on a Vespa

It appears to be Flying Ant Day!

Dear Fergie from Black Eyed Peas,

If you're going to wear a skirt that short, you'd think by age 34 you might have considered wearing more than a thong under it

Dear Lady Ga-Ga,

WEAR SOME CLOTHES.

Dear singer from Cascada,

You look like a fat Denise Van Outen, not a bad thing at all.

Dear JLS,

I don't want to see your 6 packs. I'm not sure if teenage girls wouldn't be mortified by you lifting your shirts like that. I'll assume it is for the gay audience, shall I?

Dear Kelly Clarkson,

I love you best when you're plumper.



Anyone got anything they'd like to say to popstars?

Poll #1433433 DVDs I haven't watched yet...
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 25

What DVD shall I watch while I have oinky disease?

I've already watched one season of Friends and all the extras on Twilight.

 

feel free to tell me I have terrible taste in films!

I have had today off work with an excruciating headache. I thought it was a hangover when I woke up at 5.30 but it still hasn't gone and I don't feel hungover in any other way.

Ash were brilliant at Splendour we stood right near the front with Katie & Kevin. They played a few new songs that sounded really good as well as all the classics. Madness were also great. We got a bus back to town and Lesley led a singsong of "We Built This City on Rock & Roll" ♥

I think it might be one of the best songs to sing to. I also love singing Bohemian Rhapsody and Poker Face. You'll often hear me warbling in the shower, even though I can't sing!! Everyone does it though, right?

Surely everyone knows I love books about murders by now?

So why has noone recommended I read David Peace's Red Riding series before?

I'm really laughing tonight at Star Stories, I have to get it on DVD!

And at Goths in hot weather

1. I love Ironik & Chipmunk doing Tiny Dancer


2. Maximo Park's album is a little bit crap, although I like it better having seen them live.

3. Yeah Yeah Yeah's album, first 2 tracks followed by track 4 are IMMENSE. the rest is leetle beeet dull.

4. Silversun Pickups album is IMMENSE, come see them live, tickets for Rescue Rooms selling fast appaz.

5. been out a while, but I love The Joy Formidable's album

6. Could Kelly Clarkson be any better? "I Do Not Hook up" = made me want to listen to Heart Of Stone by Cher. I'd post the video but You Tube is crap now.

7. That cunt Lily Allen's new song makes me want to stab her and piss in the holes. Nearly as annoying as "Alfie"

Show us yer muscles!

My brother and his mates were seriously terrified of him as kids. I always thought he was an urban myth, but there he is, on the actual internet!!!

(This will mean very little to anyone not from Merseyside, but I'm chortling away and on the phone to my brother!)

Friends list tidy coming up, so if you're still reading but never posting or commenting, just drop me a message here to say if you want me to keep you on my FL.

Snog, Marry, Avoid is the best chavvy TV show since Marbella Belles.

OMG....His style icon is Jodie Marsh!!

Does anyone else have a Goodreads profile? Or want one? Add me! I'm trying to do a book a week again this year, so far on target (just)!

I just watched Rebecca for the first time. Which is a bit weird considering the novel has long been a favourite of mine. The opening speech of the film is completely CRAP. That sort of spoiled it all. I know that first paragraph so well.

What I did like about it was the debonair Laurence Olivier as Maxim De Winter.

Anyway, I'd like them to remake it, I don't see any harm in it. Amazingly, it was the only film directed by Hitchcock to win an Oscar.

I'm feeling a bit better.

Police helicopter flying over my house. It just makes me scared there is a murderer on the prowl who is going to break into my flat and slay me.

Probs should stop watching Crimewatch.

Somehow I've managed to end up with tickets to see Blur one weekend and Oasis the next. 

Kasabian and The Enemy are supporting Oasis (only to be expected).

PLEASE GOD HELP ME, DON'T LET KAISER CHIEFS SUPPORT BLUR!

Maybe you don't know how much I love the Antiques Roadshow. Little old ladies bringing in their prized possessions only to discover that it is only worth £15. I love the crushed look on their greedy faces. I love hearing lovely stories about how people came by their possessions. I love it when some one says "Oh the value isn't important" with pound signs in their eyes. I love it when the experts waffle on and the people aren't interested in anything other than the value. I really love the limited responses that people give to the values. Oh I love it.

So imagine my HUGE disappointment when the first million pound valued item wasn't a jar that had been in someone's shed for 30 years, but in fact one of the early mock ups of Anthony Gormley's Angel Of The North. And imagine how pissed off I was when it wasn't brought in by an old lady hoping for a cruise out of it, but by a man from Gateshead council. And imagine my disgust when the "expert" managed to put a value on it at a million quid, cos recently one twice the size was auctioned for 2 million pounds.

They so should adopt Joe's theme tune though!

That new "Wear a Seatbelt" ad campaign, where they say that the guy dies because his internal organs keep travelling... well, how would wearing a seatbelt help that? Me no understandy, surely if your skeleton stays where it is, your internal organs will bust out, but if your body kept travelling, well wouldn't your organs stay inside your skeleton?

Really I honestly don't understand.

Nor do I understand why I'm watching the "Celebrity" Scissorhands final!
