Diary - 3rd July 2005

So what happened this week? Apart from the usual Beer and junk food excess? Well, the diet is going well. I started at just over fourteen and a half stone and am now topping fifteen. Aaarg. The whole plan needs a major re-think. Was affectionately described as "a heart attack waiting to happen" - action is required. On the exercise front I went for a cycle out to the tiddlywink with the boy Fulla on Tuesday. It was my first time on a bike since the JOGLE fiasco (http://www.joglefool.blogspot.com/). Going out was fine, a pleasant 10 mile ramble followed by a couple of Hobsons at a very reasonable £1.65 a pint. The return was not so good, It chucked it down, there was much thunder and lightening and my legs turned to jelly half a mile short of the Crown. It was not a pretty sight as we staggered, sodden and bow legged in to the Bar. But did we get sympathy, did we bugger.

The house sale has not progressed at all, which is disappointing. However, the garden is coming good after a slow start so maybe someone will bite. Its on with www.nicktart at a very reasonable price if your interested.

Went to the lovely Debbie’s birthday on Friday. She had a couple of depressingly young and talented muso's performing. Still, the old college cronies were there which is always fun. I got good and drunk and passed out on the floor. Still seem to have managed to get lots of photo's of Debbies cleavage which is nice. Watched the first scooby-doo movie in the morning and really enjoyed it. (and not just for m/s Gellars cleavage, although that contributed).

So saturday was live8. Really I was only watching it for Pink Floyd (and to end world poverty of course). They were superb. The Who also excelled. Nice to see the old boys teaching the young ones a lesson or two. Also liked velvet revolver, scissor sisters & thought Madge was a class act. Have to confess that when Bob bought on the woman who had been one of the starving children in the Cars video I blubbed. Nice to know that my few quid twenty years ago was well spent.

The link of the week is is www.bigdaddymerk.co.uk/mailwatch. Run by the Evil lord Merkin. This is your chance to vent your spleen at the woeful front pages of the Tory tabloids. Hours of fun.
