Look At It This Way..............

Rog and Jen relax at home - and enjoy an interesting sex life!

Thank God! No, let's be honest, thank Rog. I now know where I have been going wrong all these years, why the last 46 of them have seemed almost intolerable, why every waking second has been a nightmare, why I often feel like ending it all but just cannot afford the gas.......................I haven't been hanging upside down enough!
It's so obvious, now I think about it. Inversion is the way forward, if that doesn't involve too much contortion, and the person I have to thank for this "road to Damascus" enlightenment is none other than the superbly named Rog Teeter (on the edge of sanity?).
Not heard of him? You will do, soon. He is currently plugging the answer to all our ills on the telly. He has come up with a range of devices called "Teeter Hang-Ups" which are basically tables to which you strap yourself, tilt somehow and then.......hang upside down.
For the bat-shy there is the F5000 model but if you really want to sample life in the loony lane there is the super-deluxe F9000 - I assume it lets you revert to an upright position eventually and so rejoin the human race.
Our Rog, according to his website, discovered the benefits of hanging upside down when he and wife Jen were at a water skiing tournament in 1980. He doesn't exactly explain how he discovered this whacko wheeze but I would have thought all the other people at the tournament were not overly keen on hanging upside down and slamming into a wall of water at 70 mph. Anyway, Rog-baby claimed to have been suffering from back problems but these were cured when he went bat. He goes on to say, marvellously, that he "has been inverting ever since". When he calls at hotels and motels and asks to be put up for the night I assume he is just show to the wardrobe rail and handed a hook.
No doubt Rog's bank manager said he must have been having a rush of blood to the head when he asked for moolah to invest in inversion but that is just what he has done.
I always knew the Americans believed they could sell anything to anyone but I didn't actually believe they were attempting it! My mind would boggle if it had any boggle capacity left in it. Perhaps a bit of inversion would make space?
Anyway, Rog is a fine man - a complete loony, but a fine man - and he shall be spared exile to Grantham. Hanging upside down all day shall, however, be the preserve of the townsfolk. How easy is it for me to send that to Grantham? I can do it standing on my head.

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.

The Good Old U.S. of A. - Guardians of Freedom and Democracy. Nothing to Be Scared of, Then?
