Also kept a tally of the Most Offensive t-shirt. Saw a lumpy girl. around 18 years, wearing the slogan "Jesus is a c**t". How do you begin to read that one??
My son and I went to see the Otago Volts play Canterbury Wizards in 20/20 cricket yesterday. There were a bunch of kids collecting autographs in front of us - they were maybe 9 or 10 years old. One had a t-shirt, which had on the back, I eventually discovered, "Two Words - S*ck it!"
Unfortunately the words were kinda large and the S got lost under his arm from where I was sitting behind and to the side. So I spent an hour wondering what sort of parent sends their kid to the cricket with "F*ck it!" on their back.
Which is better than the parent who turned up to my son's 4 year old birthday with a t-shirt which had "I fucked your boyfriend" on the front. Yup...

Man, that's a crapload of people in front of Shihad. I haven't been to a BDO since 1996, but I'm not sure if I would enjoyed such a press of humanity, or just felt sick and overwhelmed. Looks like everyone there was enjoying it anyway.
Maybe they'll do a small acoustic gig for me one day. Er Shihad? Hullo?

Yup, that's pretty similar guitar at least.
Though having listened to 30 seconds of the Wire version... Elastica made it much better for me.

Graeme (man, once everyone knows you're a lawyer...)
I wonder what your opinion is on this:

I wonder how it's been legally enforced - I wouldn't have thought the McDonalds contract would say anything about your behaviour after you were employed by them - during maybe.

Is that the one that sounds like a Wire number? :)
Connection is the name of the song. Guitar/synth it is.
Never having heard the Wire, I couldn't say, but that's what the Wire claimed. There was an out-of-court settlement not involving money, so I suspect it does somewhat sound like a Wire number.

I predict rain and I am blaming Rage Against The Machine as it pissed down last time they were here... watching the crowd for them from the immortals lounge should be a sight to remember
That wasn't Rage's fault, that was Elastica. I was in the stand when they started playing that song with the great guitar at the beginning. There were thousands of people and all of a sudden they all surged forward and started bouncing in unison in front of the stage. Best reaction from the crowd all day, they had everyone hooked from then on.
And the heavens opened, and everyone picked up those blue mats that they'd put down on the grass, and used them as rain shelters. And did running leaps and slid around on them, wrecking large patches of paddock.

Oh, it's practically Pavlovian at this point, Kyle.
True. But Pavlov worked with (ie, did horrible things to...) dogs, so it's clearly a training issue. In my instance, that means a squirt with the water bottle, so stand still Craig. You play nice, you'll get cut up sizzlers as a treat.

An idiot I may be but you guys are still writing about me. So who is the idiot now.
I don't know you or your blog or whatever you've posted, and don't care.
But that's a stupid thing to say. "Hey look, a bunch of people are calling me stupid. Man, they must all be dumb!".
Ignoring the possibility they could just be, y'know. Right.

Don't be so bleeding precious, Kyle. And if I've been trying to repress anyone else's expression
Just thought the comment:
Please feel free to deck yourself in sackcloth and ashes and you feel fit
was pretty unnecessary. Some topics don't really call for snark. "Oh look, person felling sad over death of people that they respected, and had opportunity to meet. Wait, I need to tell them that my way of grieving is more appropriate than theirs, while putting down their way of grieving."
Surely these are days for more compassion than you typically show Craig?
-
Short answer: No. Please feel free to deck yourself in sackcloth and ashes and you feel fit, but I'd rather honor the memory of Sir Edmund by sharing a little of his impatience with cant, pretension and insincerity.
Ah sorry, my bad. I'll try and conform my way of dealing with death to your model when I'm anywhere near your internet presence.
Do you pass these words of wisdom on to strangers coming out of funerals as well? Would get an even better reception there.
