Always Crashing in the Same Car


Hmmmmm....TimesNewRoman tagged me - the sod!

Now, if it had been anyone else I would've ignored it, but, well, we go back a long way. So here goes:-

1. What was the last 1980s song you heard?

"Downtown Lights" The Blue Nile. Beautiful. Beautiful and beautiful. What more can I say? Beautiful. Machines and human voices can emote. Beautiful.

2. What was the last thing you saw on You Tube?

Peri Urban "Over".

3. What was the last entry on wikipedia you viewed?

The Scuttlers of Manchester.

4. Last computer /video game completed?

Football Manager when City were in the third division. Certainly not the fuckin' Division 1 it's now known as. Bought some cracking foreigners for a pittance and employed a 4-4-3/4-5-1 continental approach that threw the opposition completely. Promotion in the first season. Sacked within three weeks of season two. So that counts as completed. 'Cos, once your sacked you have to start again. I felt at one with Peter Reid, Brian Horton, Frank Clarke, Alan Ball, Joe Royle and the rest though. Sven too....probably.

Empathy. That's the word.

5. What did you last Pig Out on?

A ChilliBurger from Prima Pizza on Easter Sunday. Not for any religious reasons mind it was all down to an all-dayer with our lads culminating in an inability to cook for ourselves when we got home. Wrong though. Doesn't help the blood pressure.

6. What is the last undeleted text message on your mobile?

"Have a virtual pint instead"

7. When did you last have a conversation with someone other than a family member?

Errr..today at work Does that count?

8. Aside from where you live, what is the last village/town/city you visited?

Birmingham to see Seth Lakeman, Tunng and Sharron Krauss last weekend.

9. What was the last Competiton you won?

Peel. Isle of Man 1964. Talent competion. I was ten years of age and I sang "Chicago" unaccompanied.. A song I had only heard Sinatra sing. But, given the fact that is pretty much all we heard in our house at the time unremarkable.

10. What were the last 3 Blogs you visited?

Well..TimesNewRoman obviously. Yorkshire Pudding and Alastair's Heart Monitor.

Thank God you didn't tag me! These bloody memes! They sound like aliens in Dr Who. Beware of The Memes!

Fascinating entry on Scuttlers. Yhings really haven't changed much at all. I now know more than I did previously, so Memes aren't a frivolous waste of time.

Oh Blue Nile!! I play 'Family life' at least once a month in the car so that I can have a good cry and then hug everybody in the house, including the cat....
