The Right To Be Wrong
Posted by turquoisefloyd on April 14, 2008
Well here’s another week and what do we have to report?
On Thursday, BBC News managed to Rickroll us, the bastards! You must’ve heard of the whole thing of being tricked into coming across Rick Astley’s hit of yesteryear, Never Gonna Give You Up? Well BBC News did something along those lines. Twice on the Six O Clock News. Bastards! Thank God I missed the Ten or I would’ve definitely looked like a n00b!
Also on Thursday, someone forgot to wear deodorant. *FACEPALM* Someone often forgets to do her hair but this was a new low for me… uh… someone.
Saturday I went to the Ipswich Meet but it wasn’t one of the better ones. I think we were too well attended and that usually makes it harder for me to write a meet report because there’ll be at least three conversations going on, all at once and I find it tough to keep the thread of any of them. I wrote hardly any notes, this time. I missed me old sparring partner, P/S – hope to catch him at the next meet. The steakburger at Tonic is still pretty much the best burger I ever had, and it was more manageable this time as the previous one was like trying to bite into a concrete tower block and this one was much more compact.
The weekend was a bit shit really but one thing made up for it. WE WON THE LOCAL DERBY!! And so we are seventh, one place below the play-offs and two places below Watford!! I was so right about them only making the play-offs. They’d need a rocket up their arse to win automatic promotion now. I cannot help but BE SMUG.
This morning I felt like I’d been in a car crash, as if I’d been severely bruised and thrown against a windscreen, but of course nothing of the sort had transpired! Once at work, I relaxed and zoned out a little bit, between customers. Considering that no man was directly involved; it was an emotional weekend, all in all. It’s made me re-examine a lot of things, including my own opinions and my own innate right to be wrong. If I’m wrong. I might not be wrong, but I don’t know yet. And if I don’t know then nobody knows!
Yes, that was a bit cryptic. That’s another right I’m reserving!
So what does the next week hold? The anniversary of the Late Spike Milligan’s birth – 90 years of Spike! For the last few weeks, I’ve been releasing books in memory of Spike, I take them to meets to put on OBCZ shelves but most of the time other BookCrossers leap on them and take them home. Which wasn’t what I intended but *shrug*. I suppose what I wanted was to share his works and as long as they’re read, then I guess really, that was what I intended. Also, another event of the next week is a four mile charity walk on Saturday afternoon. I thought we were taking the scenic route, which was why I said yes to it, but nooooo! We’re walking along the main roads so the fuzz can keep an eye on us. Drag. I think Fry and I will have to do the scenic route, one of these days. Just the two of us and Murph. I think it would be cool.
And in closing, this week’s favourite video. Bill Bailey does the BBC News theme. Last night I played this three times!!
Yes I’m sad. So sue me!
