Chairman. And woman...

Our dining chairs are now completely re-upholstered.  If this lot lasts as well as the old ones I will be 63 yrs old next time they need doing.  Unless they have invented hover shorts by 2029 - rendering the chairs obsolete.

They certainly haven't invented a commercially available time machine by 2029, otherwise I'd already know which fabric we'll use next.

A Bible And A Gun

Folks, they say that you shouldn't meet your heroes in case it ends in disapointment.  Well, on Wednesday I did - and he was far groovier than I dared hope.

A lovely man, who came to our school to play - and boy, did he play.  He said his children's shows usually last for about 45 minutes, because kids' attention spans drift after that - but he'd gauge how it was going. 

He played for an hour and a quarter!

Cheers Jason!

Sir Clement Freud

I see that Sir Clement has died at his desk at home, at the age of 84.  This is sad of course, but if only it had been as the result of a fall - FREUDIAN SLIP would have made a fabulous headline.

Red Dwarf - Back to Earth.

Hmmmm?  I've been watching repeats of Red Dwarf for 9 years, thinking "come on...make some more".  Sadly, watching the new episodes was torture.  It reminded me of the bit in Ghostbusters 2 where they are reduced to performing at kids parties - but their hearts really aren't in it. 
If I were Kryten I'd have stayed in the broom cupboard.

I deleted the horse shit from my sky+, and watched Brittas Empire on G.O.L.D instead.

I like this a lot.

Can anyone tell me why this wasn't a smash hit??



Didn't think so..........

Testing one two one two etc etc......

So, Chris started his first blog entry by referring to himself in the third person........ Is this the curse of the 'virgin blogger'? He isn't sure.............
