I could've been the one who would've died for you
Dogs D'Amour - "The Kid From Kensington" (1988)
Bluurrrggghh. I'm not well.
I need sympathy.
So I was supposed to be back at work yesterday but due to a sudden unseasonal dose of flu (which hit me like the proverbial steamroller on Monday night while at the pub - that was fun I can tell you) I ended up spending the day in bed fluctuating between sleep and switching the TV on.
It's been a good few years since I was a student and doing this sort of thing regularly so, for those of you unfortunate enough to have also slipped out of that particular loop, here are my observations from yesterday:
- Saw arguably the worst US comedy ever - some horrible teeny thing called "So Little Time" starring the Olsen sisters - real nauseating touchy-feely-morality-let's-all-smile-and-hold-hands thing. Jeez, if this is the standard of stuff they're having to star in, no wonder one of them's allegedly got herself a coke addiction.
- Also saw that reality show starring whatsisname off the Backshaft Boys (okay a childish joke I know but I'm in a somewhat vindictive mood tonight) and Jessica Simpson. Christ on a bike, I think I've seen more charismatic and intelligent termites than that.
- Even scarier, someone has commissioned a second series of "Joe Millionaire". Just a thought but surely a law should be passed making it compulsory for all citizens to shout "Gold-digger!" should they spot one of the girls who enter that show walking through their neighbourhood.
- The good news - Duke Dickinson has finally been given the elbow from "Bargain Hunt". The bad news - they've somehow found a presenter who's an even bigger prat than the perma-suntanned one was. D'oh!
(As an aside, does anyone think David Dickinson has a potentially promising career as a porno star ahead of him? He's got the dodgy fake tan and the barnet that looks like it was purchased from Carpet Warehouse rather than grown organically, all he needs is a monstrous 'tash and he's in!!)
- But some good news - they've now started showing "The Fresh Prince" and "Friends" (from back when it was good) during the day as well as the fact that the immortal "Cheers" is still on there (is it just me or does the theme tune from that show make you feel just a little bit better even by hearing it).
Sadly, no sign of "Taxi"...ah well...
And at least the evening was nice - I met up with emogirl and we spent the evening playing cards together and watching "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" on DVD. God bless that girl, she really does know how to cheer a bloke up when he's down in the dumps.
So back at work today but it was so uninteresting I really can't think of anything much to say about it. So I'll sign off there. Hope everyone's okay and catch youse later.
