Saturday at the Wedding factory and other disasters !

Well am at the Register Office all day after having downed a bottle of red wine and a Chicken Tikka Masala - not a good idea - managed to pick up a handful of DVDs at a Woolworths store that is closing in Clapham Junction. 

There are five weddings today but by avoiding doing any actual work I hope to do only two one at 12:00 and one at 16:00.

I am then off home (via the shops) to get some cat food and am planning to visit Highgate cemetery on Sunday where I have not been for a couple of years - fingers crossed for some good weather.  This time I may actually pay the fee for a "camera permit" as I have always avoided doing this before - if I do then I shall be posting the photos on MYSPACE and FACEBOOK.

The number of African ladies trying to get money out of me seems to have dried up and I am talking to a lady who actually seems to live in the US a lady who appears to be into kinky sex in the UIK and a young lady who judging from her photo is bright orange.  Theer is also a fab picture of the exquisite Eileen Daly on her MYSPACE page. 

 

Strike and Shopping !

Well the Register Office was on strike today - at one point I WAS the picket line.  (First strike in 171 years) I was on the picket line till lunchtime and then went to POUNDLAND where I purchased over 60 concert DVDs which will take me about 2 months to watch - brilliant !

Also got the new animated BATMAN DARK KNIGHT DVD and series 1 of PUSHING DAISIES which I have only seen snippets of but looks wonderful.  Life is nice without an overdraft.

Current DVD total almost 3,400. BLOCKBUSTER beware!

Sunday watching QI - and playing with the cats.

Watching QI with the cats and washing some seat covers so having a very lazy Sunday. 

Custard Powder was invented because the inventor's wife had an allergy to egg.  Also the French have no word for custard as they believe it does not exist. 

Moan of the day - I have VIRGIN cable and really missTHE SIMPSONS - the box sets come out at too slow a rate and I want to see NEW episodes.

I watched 'THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH' and 'NIGHT WATCH' last night which are both great movies in different ways - 'PLUTO NASH' is supposed to be incredibly bad but has a wealth of details and the future is as good as 'TOTAL RECALL'.  The plot is very reminicent of the Hammer film 'Moon Zero Two'.

I am considering buying some SKULL bed sheets for my spare bedroom as they are quite nice in the Littlewoods catalogue but I fear that it may scare people away (much as my coffin in the lounge does - used for books and as a long coffee/coffin table).

Need to get into POUNDLAND next week as they have a load of Concert DVDs and some old ELECTRIC BLUE stuff on DVD the concert DVDs are great value and all over EBAY for between £2.50 and £5.00 - of course in POUNDLAND...

 

Changed my Image today (Why so serious ?)

Changed my profile picture to one that looks a bit more casual than the photo of me taken at work.

Also added a couple of new photos to my Social Networking pages.

Last post and Police on television.

 Well my last post generated a lot of feedback.  My point was really (and I thought I was clear) that anyone reading any of my 3 blogs (which are pretty similar) should know that I am the sort of guy who likes the whole process of dating and "wooing" a lady...  I will spend money and am not mean (ask any of the ladies I have dated in the past) but am shocked that people on the internet ask for money after swapping only 1 or 2 e-mails.  I was on match.com in 2007 and had some very nice dates two ladies in particular were very nice - one got back with her ex and the other came to visit me in the UK for a very enjoyable and wet visit (It rained almost every day) Photos are on FACEBOOK and MYSPACE.  My EBAY Blog is a place for me to let off steam in writing.

On another matter.....

Today I was amazed at a Policeman (BBC1) saying that knives are "UNCOOL" (he could have added "Daddy-O !" and would not have appeared less convincing) - about as up to date as Cliff Richard.

Also police forces stated they had been targeting groups they believed to be carrying knives and that 2% had been (that means 49 out of 50 were wrongly being watched - I wonder what signs the police are looking for...? I bet I could pop out to the shops and spot people carrying with a higher percentage hit rate than 2%) another police force said an amnesty had retrieved 680 knives (about the same as sold in one branch of Woolworths and probably all old unfashionable ones that were dumped because they were replaced - a bit like the old mobile phones they collect for charity).

Fingers crossed the police get some training in spotting people carrying knives - and also in not making weird statements.
