Thai Chicken Curry with Saffron rice. Apple Pie and Custard and a glass or six of Margaret River Chardonnay.
Never heard of it.
Mind you I haven't dated in years......don't need to.
Best band has to be Oasis but there are many other notable bands that have shaped music culture. Bands like The Hollies, The Bee Gees, Herman's Hermits, Wayne Fontana, Freddie and The Dreamers, Joy Division and New Order. Begrudgingly you have to include The Smiths. I say begrudgingly because the guy's a complete jerk.
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
John Gillespie Magee, Jr
I started the year with a resolution to get my first ebook published. I need 100 stories and so far have got around 85. Some earlier ones will need re-editing but no probs there. I have around 50 partly written stories and another 20 or so in the ideas stage.
Hopefully I will be finished around September/October.
Pancakes with raspberries; Earl Grey tea and Eamonn Holmes (Sky TV)
I can still remember the time when television was entertaining. A good mixture of film, drama, comedy, sport, family shows, current affairs etc., etc., Now it's mainly talent and reality shows of one form or another. Terrestrial TV is absolutely boring. Not just boring but mind dumbing!
I think it says much about society today; instant gratification without having to think or put work into it. I would like to see the UK version taken off air as well. I haven't watched it for years. It was never entertaining watching judges ridicule people who clearly can't sing and share a brain cell with the whole family. Or hearing people who had a half decent voice spoil it all with a sob story about how they are doing it to make their granny's cat proud.
Even if they did take it off they would replace it with something as equally banal. Thank God for Sky TV at least we can go back and watch programmes that were truly entertaining.
Woody Allen.
I only have to see his face on TV and I reach for the remote. The most overrated actor in the history of Film.
I always have an idea in mind. Sometimes I may just have the broad outline of where I want to go but mostly I have the whole story ready just to pour out.
Never really been interested in winter Olympic events so I will be watching very little of it. Not happy either that is was held in Russia. I don't like Putin and don't like there stance on Gays. Also. I have a funny feeling about a terrorist attack there. Hope I am wrong but....
It all depends on what you expect them to do for you.
Congrats, not just to the winner, but to all who took part. There is an amazing wealth of talent here at Lush and this must have been a very difficult competition to judge.
