Meenzer

One of my faaaaavourite films as a kid. Really enjoyed watching it again tonight.

The last 18th I went to was my best mate's, so we're talking a while ago now. We managed to trick the ropey old "mobile deejay" into playing a Sepultura track, then did shuttle runs to the bar so that my mate's little brother and his friends could get pissed. Groomingtastic tbh.

Die Ärzte - Bäst Of Fucking class.

I was in Holland last week and everywhere I went there were signs in English as well as Dutch, and the announcements on the trains were all in English. I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't have had a fucking clue what I was doing last week without that. I suppose the counterargument would be that you were a tourist and not a long-term resident.

Not seen it nor do i give a shit but why would you expct the jokes to be different? If the character is 'written' then so are the jokes. You expect him just to make improvised sponataneous jokes all the time or to perform a 'written' character. Every comedian writes material and then performs it. To highlight that is just being perjorative tbh. Surely appearing in character on a chat show or talking to reporters is completely pointless in the first place, then, if you're just going to use the same lines every time? And yeah, I'd expect some degree of spontaneity from someone who's currently being worshipped as a comedy god, character or otherwise. Call me demanding. Or perjorative.

Not until the first of Advent.

Meenzer officially starts the Borat backlash Would that I were the first.

Saw three of his TV appearances in the run-up to the UK premiere. Same jokes every time. Even the Jonathan Ross type people seemed to be reading from a script so as not to ruin things. Bit crap really.

Aye, "Boys For Pele" I think. Cracking album, strange woman.

Happily married, apparently.

Fucking hell, that'll be like a deformed forehead convention

I'm working. And plying myself with coffee. Hopefully get finished by 3 so I can listen to the match (presuming there's not a nearby pub with dodgy satellite). I'm thrilled.

Howay man, I'm not Wacky, I do let him clean up afterwards before doing the ironing

Yeah, you don't notice it so much on the fast songs, but that ballad she had out recently just showed how little of a voice she's actually got. Still, she's not the first and she won't be the last...

Wahey, just treated myself to Decemberists and Explosions In The Sky tickets for early next year. Thanks again to everybody for their birthday wishes - 'tweren't a bad 'un.

Is that like Eranu and Uvavu at all? Basically, yes. It's seven-card stud, roll your own all the way, high-low, no qualifier, with a pitch and a buy at the end, and declare. Dove from Above? Seven-deuce triple draw? Richie Wermerling.

I won a number!

Still got work to do, but I might go out for a swift pint or three now and see how that affects my translation skills later on...

Nooooooo MY birthday! MINE! Happy birthday Monster lad

I've both collected and donated in the past (and shaved my head ), but never owt grand. And certainly nothing involving a silly costume or Pudsey sodding Bear. Will stick a few quid in if someone rattles a jar under my nose this weekend, but I'd pay not to watch the actual show...

One of the Google Image Search hits for "Augustus Gloop" is Michelle McManus.

Spitting dabs of Charlie Bucket tbh... Augustus Gloop, surely?

Well blow me like a Bangkok ladyboy, it worked a treat. Rah!
