My Life in books.

This passage has just been read from Lucky Jim.  Do you remember your last hangover?

 

“Dixon was alive again. Consciousness was upon him before he could get out of the way; not for him the slow, gracious wandering from the halls of sleep, but a summary, forcible ejection. He lay sprawled, too wicked to move, spewed up like a broken spider-crab on the tarry shingle of morning. The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he'd somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad.â€

I'm not watching it RIGHT now, but in between working every hour god sends, I've been watching Anna and Katy on 4OD.

 

The reviews have been decidedly patchy, but I think it's chuffing ace.  Best thing I've seen for ages.

 

Anyone who has seen it and enjoyed it (all two of you) should check out the short film by William Andrews (the bloke that's in it quite a bit, and is married to Anna Crilly, fact fans) 'Gus and his Dirty Dead Dad' at http://www.teamwonderful.co.uk/p/blog-page.html

The highlights of the 1997 Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Juventus.

 

Prepping up for this weekend's finale. Should act as a lucky charm. :fc:

Watched last nights top gear. Can't say I can stand Will.I.Am's "music" but I've got a fair bit of respect for him now: apparently he's founding his own car company in the ghetto where he grew up to try and help the place develop.

Watcheda an old ITV big game the other day . Bolton  V Ipswich  April 1970. Frank Worthingto scored a fantastic goal. Edge of the penalty are with back to goal. He upped the ball a couple of times put it over his shoulder then volleyed it into the net. The then England manager Ron Greenwood was watching. It was Wortho's last game for Bolton as he was off to the USA.

I'll see if I can find the goal.

This programme on BBC1 (iPlayer now) about the Queen and her love for horses and racing is great. Clare Balding is superb at her job.

Britain's Got Talent. Anyone else think that Jack Carroll is shite? If he wasn't 14, or disabled he wouldn't even be on the live show. Really obvious jokes

I honestly don't know how anyone can still watch that shite.

Just saw something on the One Show about a stupid criminal gang. They took photos of themselves with the goods they stole and posted them on Facebook and even filmed themselves with stolen phones and messages were found on the phones.

Police said that the crime rate had gone down 48% in their area they worked.

They were probably from a poor background.
