The Chicago Tribune had this picture that I saw in their Most Viewed section of the page, and I thought it was a young David Crosby look-alike.

I never would have recognized him had it not been for the caption.
That's Johnny Depp.

It was disturbing, though. Almost as disturbing as this one.

I am looking forward to cracking a bottle of wine this evening. Drinking alone is not sad, it's... ummm... a traditional relaxation technique.

evening all. I has lapsed and bought wine.
On the spurious basis that it's almost the weekend.
I'm really crap at this willpower thing, even though I haven't bought wine since last weekend. Because we've gone through the scrumpy, Baileys, mead and ouzo that's still in the house :-/

I'm going out drinking later with some people I've not seen in, well, it could be more than a year. It's going to be a bit odd I think but I quite like catching up with people I've not seen in a while.
Only trouble is that I'm so tired I fully expect to fall asleep in what will be a very loud bar. 3 - 4 hours sleep a night all week hasn't been doing me any favours...

Ah yes, I'd heard that.
I'd also heard that my boy was boasting about going abroad today.
Well, it's not true. He has a chronic fear of flying brought on by a nasty papercut he sustained as a 2 year old playing with a paper aeroplane.
He's really camping out in the front garden with a selection of cheap foreign lager, a battery powered stereo and a few Greek CDs for the ambience.

( , Thu 8 Jan 2009, 20:09, Reply)

No. I am generally a figure of extreme politeness and really, brought my boy up to be better behaved than he demonstrates on here.
Unfortunately, he took the mantra 'if a thing is worth saying, it's worth saying a million times' a little bit too literally.
He may come across like a badly manufactured talking toy doll with a limited number of phrases, but his heart's in the right place.

We did consider getting the last train back for York, but it's at 10:40, and there's no way I would be able to tear myself away at that time.

Talking about 'bashing'.
You people have no shame whatsoever, you know that?
Apologies for my last comment though. 20 seconds in a tent with my boy and his attitude tends to rub off on you. It's the confined space that does it.

as much as that helps, it might be good to hitch-hike up. I thought it was a bit later in April than that... I'll be leaving for the costal hitch-hike four weeks after the bash. It'll be good practice to hitch there and back.
