Urine extraction

That's what idiot Girl is doing AGAIN.

It's now official, she has a new bloke. And so must have "right kegs" constantly, or is not happy. As mundane things are not kegs, they are to be passed off to any other sucker.

A while back IG decides the bathroom is crap. So it's "really therapeutic" to smash all the tiles, and put big holes in the wall in the process. She's 'helping' to get the job done, 'cos when she gets a new bathroom she won't have to pay someone to take the tiles off.
Slight flaw being a) will have to pay for all the extra damage fixing, and b) no money to pay for it, so left in a smashed mess for years.

Fast forwards to now... new bloke and my bathroom is awful! So she arranges for a man to fix it. And tells him you can come any time, we will work around you!

There are no prizes for guessing this means he says Monday, so the Idiot Girl party goes on holiday on the Saturday before.... or indeed for guessing who's problem it becomes.

Tomorrow is my turn again to be 'useful'. Idiot Girl is going avec Ma Ma to see "ghost the musical". She thinks "well the dog will be ok dumped in the house all day". No, no it won't. So I get to do the dog ownership thing by default while she goes looking for poor dead Patrick Swizzle.

Vaguely appropriate lazy blog: Take it away Eric!

Tubetastic Thursday: All by myself

Thursday. Yes it is.

I bring to you:
Eric Carmen - All by myself



Please note this is not (for a change) me being whiny boo hoo I'm all alone in the big evil world. The radio played the first 10 seconds of this earlier and then went to the news. So I just had to look it up. I reserve the right to be whiny later, but currently am planning on retreating into my own little world where real life is not required.

Observations.

This is 1976. And yet another industrial accident in the glue factory. Eric was kind enough to do a benefit gig for all the poor workers with their feet glued to the floor. I feel extra sorry for the poor immobile girl glued to the stage behind him.

Top of the pops hired at great expense an invisible drummer for this performance.

Bits of this are of course stolen from a classical piece. Cleverer ones than myself won't have to look on wikipedia to name which one. Messr. Bowie also nicked bits from the same piece.

Eric Carmen was guilty of "hungry eyes" in the 80's. Which of course was massive because of the chick flick "dirty dancing".

Youtube is still cross promoting the "plenty of fish" dating site on every video I watch. I wish they'd go back to trying to sell me sand and cement like last week.
