Klaxons 8, Winehouse 1
Fresh, exciting new sounds from South East London versus derivative Radio 2 approved cod soul from North London.
Saxondale 1, Gavin & Stacey 8
Steve Coogan is Steve Coogan (as always) in shoddy "comedy" with no laughs versus well-written, funny, touching romcom. Both Baby Cow productions.
Bluewater 0, Lakeside 0
Shite shopping mall versus shite shopping mall.
Pardew 4, Curbishley 7
Tony Blair style bullshit versus Gordon Brown style "does what it says on the tin".
Sopranos 10, The Wire 10
Genius versus genius.
Work 3, Jury Service 1
Boredom versus extreme boredom.
Led Zep Live 1969 7, The Who Live 1970 4
Overblown yet entertaining blues rockers versus past it, going through the motions show offs.
Back on 24th September, hopefully with a new home internet connection.
See you then.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Frumplingtons.
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday Geoffsters. You might want to read my latest post before you go. It's called 1975. Might bring back pleasant memories...
ReplyDeleteHope the new Mac settles in alright,
L.U.V. on ya,
Bob
Enjoy your break from the guy on the train. Unless he's going to Norfolk.
ReplyDeleteBob - Thanks. The Mac's hidden away till we get back. I've put all my eggs in one basket now.
ReplyDeleteMJ - Thanks. If he sits next to me on the beach I'll run screaming into the sea.
I think you should have your own TV show where you listen to cod-soul in shopping centres. When you should be on jury service.
ReplyDeleteCod soul. Fantastic use of phrase Geoffster. Have a good hols. We want a full report on your return.
ReplyDeleteI miss you and Betty already.
ReplyDeleteWahhhh!!!
Bluewater and Lakeside are pretty samey. At least Freeport has cheap stuff even if the Freeports and shopping villages all look alike.
ReplyDeleteErrr, have a lovely remainder of a holiday both of you.
ReplyDeleteLlewtrah - Freeport? Near Braintree?
You're missing The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts Caption Competition.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know how badly you wanted to win them.
Cod soul, cod reggae....I'm going to be using that down the line. I might even work rock cod in somewhere.
