» The last thing that made me cry
After John Peel died
I listened to the tribute Home Truths programme the following Saturday morning. Right at the end, they played a recording of John Peel signing out from a previous programme.
He started by describing the weekend ahead of him, filled with the ordinary humdrum and mundane stuff which we all end up filling our lives with. But he then asked the listener to imagine him as he'd like them to think of him:
".. and bear in mind, as I pass by, that in my heart and in my head, I am tousel-haired adventurer Jack Peel, gunning the motor .. and heading towards acres of rolling pasture, the lakes, woods and rivers .... Note my finely chiselled features.. the sparkle in my frank blue eyes, the flashing white teeth..."
I thought of the way that everybody has dreams and how mostly, things never turn out quite the way you planned. Then I cried like a baby.

To a ginger man named Alfie
who I'd been going out with for a couple of weeks. We went back to his mate's bedsit after a drunken fun day out at the Leicester Carnival (it really does exist - I haven't made that up) and did it on the floor (because it would have been rude to use the bed).
Distractingly, he put the tv on to lighten the mood, and we 5hagged all the way through the rubbish Clint Eastwood film, "Every Which Way But Loose." The one with the fighting orang-utan in it.

did you know
women float naturally, face up, whereas men float face down. Not so useful.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were first cousins, which is technically ok, although to me there's still something slightly grubby about it.
