Get me a Tata Nano quick sharp you no-good punk
I hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year. I hope you didn’t come down with a cold, or man flu or bird flu or angry crayfish flu or owt like that. I did a bit. It dampened the spirits a little, you may have noticed the stocks of most beer companies suffered too. Of the festive period, the best things were taking my grandad to the snooker at the International Centre, that was better than I expected, Rocket Ronnie was on form. Also getting a bit drunk and feeling a bit ill while watching the Mighty Boosh live show on BBC3 one night was cool. Being a co-host of a party where I was the most sober was perhaps not. Although that was made up for by having a happy New Year’s eve with the good the bad and the ugly of the Crown. Yeehaa. We made our flat all christmassy too, although I’m in no doubt the pine needles will be sticking in feet for seasons to come.
What’s in store for 2008? I’ve not made any resolutions, because, well, what’s the bloody point really. I like me as I am! I might reincarnate a resolution from a couple of years ago, when I promised I would eat as many different animals as I could. I was disappointed with my tally in 2006, so maybe in the year of the rat… no no no, there are limits. If you’re a pheasant or a buffalo in Shropshire, just watch out. And I haven’t ruled out puppies yet neither.
Apropos to absolutely nothing at all, have a list. Here’s my favourite five Coen Brothers film:
5. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
4. Miller’s Crossing
3. The Hudsucker Proxy
2. Fargo
1. The Big Lebowski
