The Buggles Video Killed the Radio Star
If I was in a band, this is the first song I'd want to cover.
It's a fine tune. If you haven't already check out Goldfinger's version.
I'm listening to The Clash, English Civil War.

Suddenly, your username makes a lot of sense!
Indeed.It all ended okay though. An important lesson was learned by myself, and the freezer continues to survive to this day it's chilling power undiminished by my fortgetfulness.
Another petty thing, just had a chicken and bacon piece from Morrison's.
It should be difficuly to go wrong with those ingredients but they found a way

Left the freezer door open last night
. Everything is ruined, think the freezer may well be broke.Nightmare.
A couple of years ago,I left the freezer door open and went away for a couple of days, the smell was over-powering on my return.
I left the bags of rotting food out on the street for collection and someone in the office below called Transco as they thought there was a gas leak.
Despite repeated scrubbing of the freezer the stench remained for a couple of weeks.

I may have posted about this before, but it's became an issue again.
Bloody squaking birds outside my flat waking me up at about 5.30 in the morning, for the third day on the spin.
Not the pleasant tweeting of wee sparrows or anything but the horrible gutteral screeching of seagulls and crows.
I close my bedroom window meaning that my room's horribly stuffy, but they still manage to wake me from my slumber, I think they may see it as a challenge.
Expect to see something in the papers in the next few days about the police in Perth arresting a red-eyed man in his pants shortly after dawn, screaming obscenities and throwing stones wildly in to the air.

Close, were you?
He was like a reclusive uncle to me.

accurate maps have been drawn quite a long time, I think the main issues were the calculations of latitude and longtitude in order to position things and for projection to correctly get in the curvature of the earth.
Wikipedia Mercator. He was a guy in the 16th century that figured it out. It was necessary for cartography to get more accurate in that era given they were discovering wider areas of the world to rape loot pillage and generally exploit!!
Cheers to yourself and Exuberant for the responses.
I did Wikipedia Mercator, Christ that's complicated stuff, interesting too though. I think I'll print it off and use some of my football free saturday to try and get my head around it fully.

Just been looking at the satellite picture of snowbound Britain that's been doing the rounds.
It did get me to thinking though, how did people know what shape the country was before such
technology existed?
I've seen maps that pre-date satellites that are accurate. How could this be done?

Got a crap-load of Christmas shopping still to do, I'm also working night-shifts at the moment so trying to juggle it with day-time sleeping is a pain.
It's getting to the stage where I may have to quickly instigate a major fued with my family and friends to justify not buying them any gifts.

The football related luck of others.
My flatmate won £9000 on the Celtic raffle at the Tel Aviv game, he's my best friend so I'm pleased for him. But at the same time I'm nursing a crippling jealousy of his success.
Aslo my part-time supporting uncle and cousins will be enjoying a free meal, drinks and an awesome seat in the hospitality section at the Rangers-Saints game on saturday while I fork out £22 for a crappy seat with a poor view in the away end with nothing more than an over-priced cola and a badger-meat hot-dog.
Oh and my TV licence is due for renewal too.

Great choice.
I'm listening to Guided By Voices with My Valuable Hunting Knife.

I can see where you're coming from on this one . I'm sorry Lee Evans fans but Norman Wisdom was doing this pish years earlier , funnier , and without the foul language Evans seems to rely on more and more to get a laugh. The cheap option for Comedy Central seems to be flog the dead horse , however once popular , rather than splash money on any new shows or up and coming talent.
Good luck with your blood soaked letter. By the way , the head of Comedy Central is a Mr. Grrrrrrriimmmmmsdale.
Ta for your support.
However with a name like that perhaps the blood thing is a bad idea, I think I'll take the high road and write it in cat faeces instead.

Earlier in the evening I was watching Frasier, during the ad-break I learned that it was Lee Evans month on Comedy Central.
EVERY BLOODY MONTH IS LEE EVANS MONTH ON COMEDY CENTRAL.
What is it with these people, does Lee Evans own them or something?
The time for a pleading e-mail has passed, prepare yourself for a foul-mouthed and abusive letter written in my own blood Comedy Central.
Should this prove succesfull, and provided I don't pass out, I will also use this method to lobby for the return of Seinfeld.

Nah, I don't believe in pesticides and all that sort of stuff. I prefer a natural, ethical approach. And believe it or not, slugs eat each other! When you look at them the following night, the slugs are all over the charred remnants. It makes it easy to burn them, but still, slugs are cannibals!
Fair dos, I wish you good luck in your quest, as slugs freak me out more than almost any creature.

Because I've been busy with other things, I've been neglecting my garden for a few weeks. Consequently, I gave the slugs an amnesty. After all, I was normally only burning one to death per night, and my garden was blooming. Fast forward 3 weeks though, and my garden had a fair number of weeds...clear them aside, and my plants have been eaten again!
Some of my expensive plants I bought are just stems again. Did the slugs learn nothing from my blowtorching. I know Kilt said that nature would balance things out, but Kilt doesn't know the first thing about nature. He lives in a city and works in an airport for gods sake! No, the war is back on again.
I was out with my blowtorch tonight, and in one sweep, I found TEN slugs, including 3 on one plant. Its only a tiny garden, thats just not right. I'm going out for another sweep at midnight, and then the war continues once more. The slugs didn't learn, they must die. In fact there's so many out there that the blowtorch is too slow. I am arming myself with salt AND flame. This means war!
As much as I admire your pyromaniacal approach to garden pests, perhaps slug-pellets would be a better long-term solution,If not you could leave the charred corpse of one in a prominant spot as a macabre warning to the others.

Damn kids skateboarding on a busy pavement, generally being loud annoying and dicking about doing woefull tricks when you're trying to have a conversation.
There's a large skate-park less than a mile away too, so the irksome pubeless reprobates have no excuse.

The Rock 5/10 - It was your typical American terrorism movie. Predictable from start to finish Directed by Michael Bay so there was a lot of needless explosions, crashes etc. Nicolas Cage is a fud.
Nicholas Cage isn't a bad actor and he's been in decent films such as Raising Arizona and Leaving Las Vegas.
He does seem to have a penchant for appearing in piss-poor action films though, The Rock is far from one of his worst, although I agree with you about it's limitations.

Another annoying thing is ballsing up a reply and putting your text in the quoted piece, making it tricky to read.

Tonight's moan...
TV programmes that devote ages to...
Title sequences
"Last time..."
"Next time..."
There's no need for two minutes of fancy fonts and silent clips from the first series, I know what the programme is called, and I don't care who the Assistant Producer is.
I know what happened last time, I watched it. Was it really such a shit episode that you can sum it up in a minute with brief clips?
That is pretty irritating, what gets me is when you're watching a film and know that there's a good song over the credits and the announcer starts rattling on about what's on next over the top of it.
Similarly when you watch something and want to find out who played a character but the credits are moved to a small screen in the corner while they advertise an upcoming show.
"Next time on This Show..." are possibly the worst. Programme makers, are you really so insecure in the quality of your own show that you need to try and make me watch the next one with a few flimsy cliff hangers?

Stawberry Twizzlers. Sort of like a thicker version of the classic strawberry laces.
Utterly horrible, possibly the worst thing anyone other than a prison bitch has had in their mouth, I had to throw most of the packet away.
American confectionary is rubbish.
