Rock stance!

skylarkingVampires Rock was lots of fun. The story, such as it was, was a bit dodgy and if I’d written it I would have had a different ending (Nano is eating my brain) but it was entertaining and silly and there was a lady a few rows behind me who was dressed up to look like she had a steak through her heart. Even waiting outside was amusing; there were lots of people in black standing around waiting for lots of other people in black.
I picked up the list of what is coming to the City Hall and Lord of the Dance with Michael Flattley is going to be on next year. I know it’s wrong, it’s not big and it’s not clever, but I really want to go. It will be crap and cheesy and Michael Flattley will be wearing a headband and taking himself too seriously. Plus, I like watching dancing; I was addicted to Strictly Dance Fever. It’s 30 quid though, and I’m not sure if I’d pay 30 quid to laugh at Michael Flattley. Would anyone else be interested or am I alone in my urge for bad Irish dancing?
A question. I was looking through a World Vision catalogue yesterday that has ‘alternative’ ideas for Christmas presents. What happens is you buy something, like a cow or water pump or pay for training for a teacher for people in developing countries in someone’s name and they receive a letter with a picture saying, “Hello, here is the cow/chicken/immunisation drops/etc that has been bought for the people of this African village for you”. More info here.
My question is: if you were given this as a present would you think, ‘how nice, one world one love’ or would you think, ‘that’s nice and all but I’d rather have something pretty wrapped in shiny paper’’? Be honest.
Thought of the day
Life is too short to be stoic
Word of the day
Guffaw
Thing I have learnt
Rockets used to be tested on the Isle of Wight and a British satellite called Prospero was launched into space 30 years ago and is still orbiting the planet – and it still works.
