Music, Books, Films & Telly 'n' Shit

The gig (which was utterly brilliant!) finished at 11pm and we were walking in the front door at 12:15.
That's not too shabby since we were a) in the Micra b) Mrs Tim missed the turning onto the M8 and c) Even at that time o fnight there were enough fast lane hoggers to be a nuisance.

I've spent a relaxing day having the following conversation, repeated numerous times:-

Colleague: Oh Tim, did I hear right, were you at a gig last night?
Me: That's right

Colleague: Who was it?
Me: you'll never have heard of them, do you really want to know?

C: Yeah, who was it?
Me: Fields of the Nephilim

C: Who?
Me: FOTN

C: Who are they?
Me: The band I went to see last night

C: Oh, you like that funny music don't you. Were you headbanging?
Me: No. Can I go now?

Last nights TG was hilarious.

Poor Harris does look a little out of his depth however, trying to keep up with Flintoff and Paddy is a difficult task and he's clearly the stooge

For me it was ruined by being covered in sand ! Saloons/sedans make no sense to me

I thought the E63 as an estate looked great.

Mrs. Sacamano commented that they need to be careful as the treatment of Harris is starting to look like bullying. Sensitive soul that she is.

I did start to wonder the same tbh but he seems to be taking it on the chin. Doesn’t help that Freddie keeps picking him up! 

I think Harris is enjoying himself immensely.

When he first appeared I feared that he was like Chris Evans - so excited to be a presenter that he was over-enthusiastic, almost shouting every word instead of speaking normally and talking too fast for TV. IMHO Evans never overcame this, but Harris quickly adapted and adjusted; I like him a lot as a presenter of TG

He gives as good as he gets most of the time. Wasn't it he who called Flintoff a 7 foot rabbit? Most of the time he's nearly crying with laughter so I can't, for one second, believe he's not enjoying every minute.

I didn't get the point of the Brunei piece. What was it they wanted to achieve?

Rocketman.

It's a film about Elton John. What more do you need? I want more rock biopics now - I hope someone makes one about Black Sabbath.

I watched the dirt (motley crud film) crap band but the original book was good ,film was ok nothing special ,with some crap acting in it.

I started watching The Dirt but haven't gone back to it.

I thought they could've got better lookalikes too (ref the hunt/Lauda film comments).

so, BGP or Wimbles. Both on at the same bloody time!

The scheduling gods really fucked it up!

GP for me then the tennis on iPlayer. The other way around won't work because All4 is dogshit. A bit like cricket.
