Need To Think Of A Subject? Erm, Kaboodle, Will That Do?

Apologies, it's been a while since a little life update, this week it's been absolutely non-stop, somehow I've fit in watching Alan Rickman's final film 'Eye In The Sky' (an outstanding look at the morals of modern war), Future of the Left at the Night and Day Café last night (brilliant as ever), I've been to the gym three times (and consequently ( Read more... )

stabby stabby, future of the left, pointless wars, gone drinkin', toni, life, cinema, rock

Is it Eurovision tonight? For some reason I thought it was later on.

It's very sad that the only way some people know how to reconcile conflict in their own minds is to take a life. I hope they catch the fuckers.

Yes, it creeps up like the terrifying ghoul it is! Good to see a nice political winner..!

Agreed, hope they catch all of them, 3 arrests so far, apparently more were involved in the assault. My boss at work witnessed the neck stabbing as she walked for the bus.

That's not good, it can be pretty traumatic to witness something like that.

I like how genuinely angry some people get about Eurovision. The day after Erovish is the only day I don't have my iPod on when I go outside, just so I can hear people talking about it. There's no way we can ever win it but I love how people always seem surprised when our entry finishes near the bottom!

Yep and she's done the British thing of rejecting Counselling and instead 'British stiff upper lip' is to the fore...

Exactly, I love how it causes a country as large as Russia to start waving around threats to neighbouring nations. IT IS A FUCKING POP SONG CONTEST, VLADIMIR! GET A FUCKING GRIP!

We have won it in the past though, so maybe there's hope? I dunno, as long as there's ridiculous bias, narky commentary and accompanying drinking games, it has a place in my heart!

congrats on the weight loss! glad you've been having a productive week. what kind of job were you interviewing for? got any tips for interviews for me? ;)

you're the second friend who has mentioned eurovision, which i hadn't heard of, but i looked it up the first time and now i know its not a sporting event. lol

Thank you :)! It was pretty much the rank above what I do now. Yeah, don't do what I did, ha! It was a no for me but appearing confident certainly helps!

It's an absolutely ridiculous institution, I'm not surprised it's not crossed the pond very well, it's like a domestic argument fought out in a whirlwind of bad music!
