Groundhog Day

I've kind of experimented with blog titles that have absolutely nothing to do with the subjsect matter. Myah, doesn't really work for me.

If I had a Groundhog Day I would want it to feature at some point me kicking James Blunt square between the legs with no repercussions.

Shit, we'll need to stop at a bank

Went along to a Halloween party at the weekend dressed as a kind of rough looking tranny witch and felt disturbingly comfortable in make up, dress and tights. That is until the front door got opened for the smokers and I felt a draught go right up me. I'd have had frost on my man growler had I not done a quick leg cross.

It's Gimplord not Gimplady.

Egyptian cotton you say. Marvellous!

Every year at Halloween we are "treated" to another instalment in the Saw movie series. We're onto number 4 now. Films like this and Hostel, Captivity, Hills Have Eyes and so on are what is commonly known as the torture porn genre. Personally I can't watch this stuff and I can't quite understand those who do. I'm not sure how watching people be strung up, having their ribcages ripped open, eyes gouged, achilles slit and so on can be entertaining. It worries me.

Having said that I did watch the first series of Dexter on FX and it was pretty damn good. Dexter is a serial killer who also happens to work in forensics for the Miami PD. Now, as I say Dexter is a serial killer and he's pretty clinical in doing it but, hey, he only offs the people that deserve it so it's vigilante justice and that makes us feel better. Somehow despite the things he does we do root for him, he is a likeable guy in many other respects, but I suppose it's because there are other killers in the show that are more reprehensible than him that we end up taking Dexter's side. I'm not totally comfortable with liking Dexter but the writers have done a fine job of keeping him on the audience's good side.

Series 2 has just kicked off in the US. If Series 1 crops up on UK schedules again be sure to check it out.

I could make a hat or a brooch

One of my all time favourite comedy characters is Johnny Jacobs in Airplane and Airplane II. Johnny was flamboyantly played by Stephen Stucker who I looked up at IMDB and was stunned to learn that he died 21 years ago. Blood E Hell.

Enjoy this montage of Johnny's bits.

I shaved it but then it grew back twice as thick

My local Tesco now sells the Polish News. I bought one but I wasn't sure if that meant the Lech Walesa type or the Mr Sheen type of Polish.

Still, now that I've got a Polish cleaner it was always going to be a win win situation for me.

You call those bubbles?
