I had a decent and lengthy conversation with my best mate's dad earlier.
But I'm not going down there when they're currently belting out All The Young Dudes at the top of their lungs.

I spent a lot of time socialising with my parents and their friends when I was younger.
I blame this entirely on my dubious taste in old men.

They're all really, really sound people.
And funny when they're pissed, but only when you are as well. Same with most people I suppose.

Oh, I hate being around drunk people.
Like, hate with a fucking passion.

To be fair I'll be up to speed with them soon enough.
Just finished my sixth bottle of Duvel and am now moving onto the bottle of port I got for Christmas. It's my defence mechanism for dealing with them/my downheartedness.

No text then?

Yeah I got a text.
She's staying in with her mum cos she (the mum) just split up with her husband and she'd be on her own otherwise. We're seeing each other in a couple days, but no matter how good tomorrow night is I'll just be wishing she was there, that's what I'm bummed about. Plus behind my knobhead exterior I'm a hopeless romantic. If it was up to me, tomorrow would be spent watching films on the sofa with her.

Well, she didn't tell you to fuck off and die
which has got to be a bonus.

It is a bonus.
And oh lord, I've spent the last half hour downstairs. Absolute gold, in fact gold beyond words. I definitely live in a Hollyoaks plotline.

There's worse stuff to be singing than "All the Young Dudes."
My 38 year old still living at home brother will probably be rocking out to Neil Diamond as we speak.

Nothing wrong with Neil Diamond.



God, I'm old.

I'm older than you.
I'll be 44 next year.

Won't be here tomorrow night, so I wish you all a better year than this one.

I could do with a better year.
