An Apology

The more observant among you have noted that I posted last night's fascinating article about Mal Baby twice. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
There is a simple explanation for this crass error. It is that by the time I came to Blog I had downed a considerable amount of Chateau Chunder/de-icer and been to two pubs with the trainee pig farmer where many dry sherries and quarts of creme de menthe were downed.
On my return to the Towers I was not really in a fit state to operate the Blog machine and trying to feed instructions into a computer when you've got fingers like a cow's tits is difficult at the best of times.
I was, however, up for work at 6.30am today and left the remnants of MB snoring, breaking wind and belching on my settee.
He had brought his own little jarmies set, bless him, although it failed to hide the fact that he has the upper body of Brian Blessed but the legs of Kylie Minogue.
He has gone now, anyway, but very thoughtfully he left all the lights on in the house, the toilet blocked and the front door open. Some things never change.

No,no, I enjoyed reading it twice.

Hey, I've worked hard and spent a lot of money on this physique.

Left the lights on as it was very gloomy and thought the dogs would appreciate a bit of light before you got back. As for the front door - sorry.

And the toilet? It was your steak pie and to quote the great Eddie Brown "you started it".

was it my imagination or did you phone me last night? when I read about your blocked toilet I had a strange sense of deja entendre. . .

If he has the upper body of Brian Blessed and the legs if Kylie Minogue it must make mobility very difficult.

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!!

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.
