Rainbow Chaser
Round our way, spelling mistakes are are punished severely. Take this example: stuck on a board outside one of our recently refurbished taverns in order to encourage public ridicule.That'll learn 'em.
The landlord's a decent bloke. Suffice to say he hasn't got a clue that this error is there for all to see. Twice.
God bless Camera-Phones.
Don't know if any of you have been watching The Street lately. That's the Jimmy McGovern written BBC affair not Corrie.
You would never guess Mr McGovern was a scouser would you?
God I hate your fucking team!
Jim Broadbent doing his best to commit suicide. I have a feeling a few of my City supporting bloggers will quite enjoy the clip too. Bluetealeaf and The Obscurer in particular.
I got myself one of those new-fangled DVD recorders for the TV yesterday. Recorded that new prog about the Impressionists. Played it back today and the quality is superb. I chose the third best qualty - sacrificing in order to stretch the amount of recording time on the disk to 4 hours. I probably won't be able to see the difference in the higher qualities on account of a)inadequate TV technology and b)failing eyesight.
Pater's back in dock, but I'm getting quite used to it it now. I see the patterns. I also recognise the bad back acquired while trying to manoeuvre him into his bed the night before he was readmitted. They think he's had another stroke. I KNOW he has. A week last Saturday he was opening the door to me and shuffling off back to his throne and settling d0own to watch UKTV History 'till it finishes. Thursday night, when I became bruised and bad-backed, he couldn't walk, talk properly or defecate.
He's "getting better" in a local Hospital at the mo'.
Honest.
Bedroom/study/shed/bathroom/random room recording reaches new highs with this feller. Belive me.
"Joni Mitchell melodies, Beach Boys harmonies....." "....like a chapter from the XTC manual"
Give him a listen and, if you like, BUY!

It is good though, isn't it. The Street that is. Best drama on tv at the mo, despite your aversion to all things t'other side of the Mersey :)
The Street is the best thing on tele in years. I cried with sympathy for Jim Broadbents character, and cried laughing at him too.
I can't imagine how hard it is for you and all your family with your dad going through so much. Thinking about you mate.
Excellent clip, I saw it posted on a city forum a couple of weeks ago, I keep going back to watch it.
i don't watch the street. i don't watch anything with "drama" in the promotional blurb, because i am shallow and lazy.
What's wrong with continental "LARGERS". All this means is you get a litre of beer rather than the traditional pint - so it's larger - geddit? Doh!
I do enjoy misspellings. I remember a few years ago walking past a second-hand furniture shop in Hackney which had "chester drawers" for sale. Don't know why, but that has always remained one of my favourites!
And now I have just watched the Broadbent clip - a great rant indeed!
As a Liverpool fan i'm currently swelling with pride at Jim's rant.
Gonna have to watch it again now.
