I’m going to an incredibly meeja Christmas lunch today and then I’m going to come home and do the final poohcast of 2006 a la Romo style. You have all been warned!

This year – we have all been awarded the coveted accolade of making the cover of Time magazine. It is in recognition of the millions of us that have continued to spread and share information over the internet via Blogger, Myspace, Facebook, Second Life et al. You can read more about it here. We are just behind Bono who made it last year. For some reason killer ex-alcoholic Bush made it in 1994 and a few other highly controversials were Adolf Hitler and Ayatollah Khomeini.

Unlike Beta blockers it appears that beta blogger does not serve to calm your nerves. Apologies to all if they thought I haven’t been around over the last few days – I have – and I’ve tried to leave some nice comments too but Betta Slogger won’t let me. Has anyone got any idea why? Firstly, each time I log in as a Blogger account holder person it keeps making me re-do word verification which is my worst nightmare – really! Then I try to just be ‘other’ – same thing, then I just try to be bloody anonymous and it keeps just refreshing and not posting.
Anyone bored yet because I am. Very. Oh well, at least Barry Manilow is on the Royal Variety Cock-up – bloody hell – I’ve just seen David Gest being introduced to HRH – what HAS the world come to? perhaps he was giving him tips on eyebrow tattoo techniques and spray on hair products?
A plane had to make an emergency landing in Nashville yesterday as passengers were complaining of a sulphurous smell in hte cabin. Apparently a female passenger with a flatulence problem kept striking matches and blowing them out so people didn’t have to suffer her farts.

Now I’ve only just recovered from regrettably joining the tagging brigade – let’s get back to stuff that interests me rather than myself! Check this out – I’ve been reading his blog for ages – I love it. Big up to the little people.
They are everywhere……you just need to look for them…..
and when you find them and if they have fallen over or hurt themselves then do the right thing and put them upright again or buy them a cup of tea.
Good evening and welcome to tag take two as I cocked it up last time. In fact, I have a morbid fear of being tagged and indeed having to tag which probably explains why I didn’t do it correctly as I got into a bit of a flap. But…I hate getting things wrong so……here it is – correctly this time.
1. At 17 I applied to 4 London drama schools – on each audition day I sat at the kitchen table and couldn’t go as I had a very strong feeling I would never be good enough. 2. My youngest brother has two godparents – Ridley Scott and Charlote Rampling 3. I happen to own the giant heart-shaped diamond ring that the Baron’s wife (Choochie-face) wore in the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film. I have never worn it. 4. The only time I got an A+ for creative writing was when I wrote a review of seeing Liberace at the London Palladium in 1980 5. I smoked skunk weed every day pretty much between the years 1997 – 1999. I also had legendary parties at that time – 3 floors of the house – a different DJ on each floor and a butler sink full of never-ending champagne on ice – although I remember the parties really clearly – I couldn’t tell you which year they were in. 6. I always wanted to play the saxophone and was never allowed 7. I went to college with the founder-members of the Brand New Heavies. In 1984 they asked me to be their keyboardist and I said no because I couldn’t be bothered. My best friend shagged the guy that became and still plays keyboards for them. He did it without bothering to take his socks off. We still laugh about it now. 8. I’ve got a thing where any volume setting on the tv, radio etc must be set to an even number otherwise I feel a tiny bit anxious 9. I love shoes and always have – I currently have c.50 pairs despite the fact I have worn the same pair of violet converse hi-tops for the last few months 10. When on long car journeys across London and ever since I was a child I look out for places I would sleep if I were ever homeless. I don’t know why I do it and have recently been really wondering why. I’ve come to the conclusion that it must be a form of insecurity. 11. Spinal Tap is one of my favourite films (note it’s no 11!) 12. I take a stills camera with me everywhere I go 13. I’m a very loyal friend and hate liars or any form of injustice 14. My one big regret is that I’ve never been part of a band 15. I cry really easily 16. I say “that’s ridiculous!” far too much 17. I’ve never had a 9-5 job and probably never will 18. My great-grandmother was Anglo-Indian. My great-grandfather got chucked out of the army for marrying her and turned to drink. 19. I’m a good gardener 20. I can rustle up tasty meals when others swear blind there is nothing to eat 21. I’m a good mimic 22. I can read and write Greek fluently although can only speak it semi-fluently 23. I’m spectacularly bad at any sort of exam but apparently have a high IQ 24. I’m not very good with authority figures 25. I prefer to drive and not be driven Can I stop now? I’m never tagging again – that’s enough. Buenos noches mon petit blogees. xx Photo © my Dad 1972
I’ve been tagged – not like Pete Burns on his new carcrashtelly show but cybernetically tagged. It’s actually the second time I’ve been tagged. The first time was by the very clever nevertrustahippy but it was so long – about 40 things you had to write about yourself I just couldn’t bear to go there. I’m quite shy really you know. Anyway – the also very clever and I’ve always imagined extremely elegant Arabella has gone and tagged me. I couldn’t bear to let her down so here goes….
1. If my shoes don’t match my handbag, I’m even happier. 2. The first record I bought was ‘Hong Kong Garden’ by Siouxsie and the Banshees and “What Do I Get by The Buzzcocks – on the same day at the same time £1.20 for two singles from Earls Court Road 3. One of the things I like to eat is: baked salmon in lemon and herbs with quinoa and spinach with goats yoghurt on the side – and beetroot! 4. A few years ago I considered becoming a mentor for kids struggling at school and/or homeopath 5. I miss the never-ending perfect feeling of the heatwave in 1976. We watched the Wimbledon Final on the tv in the garden and the top melted in the sun while we were eating fresh peaches and the juice was running down our arms. And sometimes when I see things of real beauty like the light in the trees at a certain time of day I really miss my friend Abbie and wish she could see it too. I’ve only just realised that it’s ok to miss people and that that feeling never really goes away. UPDATE:I think I’ve done this wrong – I might have to do it again later – I just copied Arabella’s subjects rather than telling you 5 random things about me – derrrrr 1 . sometimes I appear thick but really I’m not!
‘Remember that it isn’t always the sensational stuff that writers are looking for; it can just as easily be something that you take for granted, like having raised twins or knowing how to grow beetroot. Mind you, if you know how to fly a helicopter or have worked as a film extra, do feel free to let the rest of us know about it.’
Over to Istvanski, Bob Swipe and Firsty By the way – look what I found while I was looking for a picture of a tagged ankle – why on earth would anyone want to manufacture or buy these revolting boots?
They are on ebay by the looks of it if any of you are interested…..
