Good morning.
I woke up with 'Teenage Depression' by Eddie and the Hot Rods on the brain and cannot shift it. Can anyone help me?

Alt: I feel quite chipper today. Looking forward to payday tomorrow and my little trip to Hitchin after work. Ever been to Hitchin?

Altalt: Ever been hitchin'? My pal Yeti tried to hitch back to London from Harwich on his way back from Amsterdam. It took him something like 5 hours to realise he was stood in the wrong place. LOL.

Altaltalt: I quite fancy a go on that new 'James Bond' film. Do you? I haven't been to the cinema (apart from with my kid) for fucking yonks.

Morning
I find humming the Pink Panther theme for 20-30 seconds usually gets rid of earworms.

I hate that tune.
Reminds me of clarinet lessons when I was a yout'.

The Pink Panther Show end tune, on the other hand, is a masterpiece of groovy 60s sunshine pop.

Skyfall does sound good
and Daniel Craig is making a good job of Bond.
However the last Bond film I went to the cinema for was Die Another Day, which had the worst bit of CGI EVAH in the middle (the snowboard bit) and that ruined it, along with the plane crash bit at the end. Bond films should have real stunts in.
The missus has said we should do an Orange Wednesday on it though so think we'll be going.

Also, the exact amount of vermouth in a martini is measured as follows:
take a bottle of vermouth. Chill a glass with ice. Allow a single, stray beam of light from a high up, dusty window to strike the vermouth bottle and fall upon the chilled glass.

Fill glass with gin.

Done.
