ITEM! a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
martinskidmore, 49 years young today - i was v.sorry to miss out on friday's celebrations - but was in no fit state to leave the house, laid up with a coldy fluey thing which is only just now going away ( - my head finally feels clear this morning, for the first time in nearly a week ) - hope everybody ( especially martin ) had a wonderful time
ITEM! here are a couple of ole drawings of mine ( 2001 vintage ) for you to "enjoy" ( click thru to make 'em bigger )
ITEM! i managed to snuffle & waddle as far as the bookies at the end of our road yesterday ( my first trip out of the house since tues ) - to put a bet on the derby - no luck tho: "my" horses washington irving & frozen fire came 5th & 11th respectively - on the plus side my pal kev had the winner ( - i should really learn to text him BEFORE i have my bet ) & no horse died ( afaik ) - o well, i haven't checked last nite's lottery ticket yet
ITEM! the apprentice: poor luvly lucinda ledgerwood...! - stitched up by alex in the boardroom - & suddenly we're having four finalists this series, tho only two of 'em oughta be there - lucinda ( real name: cindy burger ) certainly did deserve an adrian chiles spinoff programme all to herself tho - so that was nice
my preference for the apprentice final: 1st claire, 2nd lee, 3rd helene, 4th alex ( - the final show always tends to be a bit of an anti climax, i think )
ITEM! i haven't had much time to "study" big brother yet but judging by the crowd reaction on the entry show, the blind bloke's gonna win it, isn't he? ( - my early fave = the bangkok cookie monster lady )
ITEM! w.o.agwu's top ten previous big brother housemates:
1. helen adams ( "i like blinkin, i do" )
2. michelle bass ( "no naked jacuzzi-ness" ) ( before she had her plastic surgery, obv )
3. victor ebuwa ( esp when he did his gangsta rap party piece before gomplaining abt "the sniffles" )
4. narinder kaur ( yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak,yak, yak, yak etc )
5. jon tickle ( for his hotel galifornia routine & also explaining the plots of star wars novels to gos )
6. shabnam "shabbylicious" paryani ( i thort she was goob vfm )
7. brian belo ( cider, shakespeare, holby city etc )
8. nicky maxwell ( stroppy "hot sauce" gal )
9. nikki grahame ( "who IS she?", "i'm soooooo cooooooooooooooolllllllldddddd...!" etc )
10. anna nolan ( skateboarding lesbian nun )
ITEM! as much as i liked iron man, the best film i've seen in ages = the coen bros' no country for old men - awesome performance by javier bardem as psycho main baddie anton ( surname out of lovecraft's cthulhu ) - i also liked it cos the "producers wish to thank" bit in the end credits included "mr.hand"
ITEM! poor beloved philippe senderos didn't exactly cover himself in glory last night - following in the illustrious footsteps of sir geoff hurst & chris waddle, w.o.agwu predicts: germany to win euro 2008
