Rain, slim and filth

It poured all day yesterday. It poured when I took Chicken to work. It poured when I went to the capitalist shop and agonised over whether or not to get some flared jeans (I didn’t, but now I regret that decision bitterly). It poured whilst I drove to and walked through Bideford. It poured whilst I got Ferris’ treats from Creature Comforts and all through my volunteering. It poured as I drove back to Swimbridge and collect Ferris. It poured whilst we dragged round on a very wet walk (extra thanks go to the woman in the silver Golf who drove passed us at 60 and splashed me from head to toe in dirty puddle water - you’re a star). It continued to pour all evening long. Today the sun is back. Hooray! Not sure how the weather will pan out over the weekend, but I am not too worried about tomorrow as we are off in the evening to see Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. I am sadly sure it will be a rotten film but I am still going because I want to remember how it felt when I was seven or eight and my brother Jon got me hooked on Indy - and see it on the big screen for the first time, of course. We’re going with my nephew, who I in turn got hooked on Indy by giving him my old videos when Chicken brought me the DVD box-set for Christmas a few years back. Well, slimy Michael finally went. And I actually felt a bit sorry for him. I, too, couldn’t understand why anyone would spend close on to £3,000 for a day in a car. OK, the engines sound quite nice, but so do my Mozart CDs and most of them ain’t so expensive… My hatred of Alex grows by the second. He and Lee were once again quite fowl to Lucinda, sending her off to deal with her stolen idea of raffle tickets and hire out an Austin Martin, whilst they continued their lads mag woofing noises and praised themselves up to the hilt. Gross. Alex reckons ‘in his head’ that he’s a ‘high end salesman’ - I keep having a feeling he worked at the Car Craft just outside Leeds before The Apprentice… If he doesn’t go in the next round I will be very, very annoyed. The most interesting clip for the programme next week was that of Lee doing his usual ‘whooping’ noise in front of a very disturbed looking interviewer - can’t wait! Last night I watched Filth - the Mary Whitehouse Story which was really rather boring. The performances were all quite hum-drum and you felt you knew very little about the people, the era or the television that annoyed her so much… |
