Life
Jul, thanks for your endless post – it was most amusing, also the Reservoir Dogs-esque photo on the tube. Modeling is a cool experience we should all do once (it was enough for me).
Tan, WHAT’S WITH THE CAPITAL LETTERS! IT’S LIKE SHOUTING BUT ON THE INTERNET sshhh a little please.
And finally I was puzzled today when I read a comment about what someone said being the “most stupid thing ever written by anyone ever including Desree’s “Life””. This intrigued me somewhat and induced me to search for the lyrics of Desrees “Life”. I present them now and warn you not to drink milk while you read as the likelihood is that it will come out of your nostrils.
Ooh, Yeah Oh yeah Oh Life Oh Life
I’m afraid of the dark Especially when I’m in the park
When there’s no one else around Oh I get the shivers
I don’t wanna see a ghost It’s the sight that I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast Watch the evening news
Life, oh life Oh life, oh life Life, oh life Oh life, oh life
I’m a superstitious girl I’m the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders I keep a rabbits’ tail
I’ll take you up on a dare Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I’ll be there Bungee jumping, I don’t care
Life, oh life Oh life, oh life Life, oh life Oh life, oh life Life
So after all’s said and done I know I’m not the only one
Life indeed can be fun If you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams Ain’t as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world In a beautiful balloon
Life, oh life Oh life, oh life Life, oh life Oh life, oh life
Life, oh life Oh life, oh life Life, oh life Oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life..”
Quite astounding really isn’t it.
Glad you’ve been having fun Jul but it sounds like it been pretty arduous and painful trying to get work. I think we should make you World Leader, you could create a world in your image. That way everyone would be chilled and everything would just flow effortlessly. Julios for El Presidente!
Nicky, that contraption looks as if it was first used several hundred years ago to brand slaves with the union jack so no Yank could claim them as one of theirs. Perhaps during the Victorian era they started using them to make toasted cheese sandwiches – it might be worth a few bob.
Zero and hero
Yes to Sidearse. He actually played well and was easily man of the series.
No to Vaughan. He averaged 20 with the bat and leading your team to victory against the Kiwi’s – who let’s face it would be an average county side (ranked 7 in the world) is hardly an achievement.
And at least we can support the gentlemen in the English cricket team, most of the English football team are utter utter gits (especially Rooney, Terry and Ashley Cole)
A new hero
Needing more than 200 to win with one wicket left Southee, a valient young Kiwi making his test debut decided to go out in style. Taking on Panesar (who’d bowled 17 maidens from 30 something overs and taken 6 wickets) Southee put away his bat and got out his seven iron.
He bludgeoned the fasted fifty ever by a Kiwi in 29 balls blasting Panesar for six repeatedly and hitting Anderson quite literally out of the ground. When Broad was bought on he hit him for two sixes in an over and continued on to hit a grand total 9 sixes – more than any Kiwi or Englishmen in history! All this from a 19 year old, test-debutant bowler.
Sadly the rabbit at the other end left him stranded on 77 not out (with 54 in sixes alone) from 40 balls. A herioc and quite frankly almost “British” failure.
Gentlemen let that be a lesson to us all. If you’re going down, go down guns blazing, and bring the bastards down with you. Southee, we salute you.
