Funny ol' few weeks really; spent the majority of t'other Saturday with Marcus prepping our spare room for some serious decoration. The previous owners of our house were a real bunch of scummers, they really were (are). Their DIY technique would be defined as 'sloppy' at best . Bit of a funny family, when I first went into the loft of our house I found some graffiti on the water tank which read 'Orks live here'; i had a quick look around the floor but the only thing i could find was blond doll's head. Many strange things wee left behind by that funny family, a nice leathery cat of nine tails was left hanging off one of the curtain rails, for instance.
Anyway, the work was slightly slowed down by the fact that Marcus and I had decided to set my decks up and have a bit of a retro mashup; several tunes didn't stand the test of time too well, notably 'Sugar is Sweeter' by CJ Bolland or any of Tin Tin Out's old stuff (Jake - we would've danced our booty's off to this), nevertheless, Keep on Jumpin' by the Lisa Marie Experience mixed into Professional Widow by Tori Amos will sound good forever.
Reading 'The God Delusion' by Dickie Dawkins at the moment. Very polemic, thought provoking price of work it is too. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of one of Corsham's many pairs of Christian folk at my front door (they always travel in pairs in our town, and are usually octogenarians) for a nice theological debate "have you thought about the church can help the world, young man?" "Well yes, young crone, by packing up and trying to undo hundreds of years of oppression and needless slaughter across the lands of the world, in fact, you can apply this to all religions young crone, how's that sound?" "do you want a pamphlet?".
The BCHE Old Boys footie team are being wheeled out of retirement once more at the end of April for a game against a team of welshies. We'll be keen to carry on our unbeaten run (of one game) after the demolition of the Dutch in August last year. Rumours are that beloved teammates Brian & Paul will be setting off for the game a week before kick off, just to ensure participation. i got another effin' speeding ticket, this time i was caught travelling INTO Wales, i deserve everything I get, i spose.
Had a chat at work about how many people called 'Steve' were tw*ts, I could only think of a couple of decent ones I knew, anyone else? The ratio of tw*ttage to Steveage was pretty high down Bristol way.
Anyhoo, I'll leave you with this lovely video from an old Adam and joe show, it's their fab Star Wars Crystal Maze spectacular. You can listen to them every Saturday morning, you know, on BBC 6 Music. Cheerio

Great Post Deej. We WOULD have done done some "four to the floor" on that beggar, 'tis true. I've still got a Lust tape that has the, frankly, utterly seamless Tori Amos mix on it as well - plus that godawful semi-techno female vocal of "Some might Say". ahhh, the good old days.
Sadly, I cant make Bath which is mightily frustrating. Still, you'll still get more conversation out of me on the day, than we did Gav in the 'Dam.
