Scientists, Western philosophers and slimy web-lurkers report there is one brilliant album missing; Seance from 1993.



If its too bigger DL, open it, cancel all the tracks and reselect the tracks from the Starfish album. It's the only one I know and it is awesome. I know other tracks from a "Best Of" album.

I have come slowly to realise the grapeness of this group.

Robin of Sherwood

Oi and I are really enjoying this 1984 TV series some may remember with Micheal Praed as Dobin. Clannad did the soundtrack, "The Hooded Man." I got it on DL all 3 series. It's great. It's Saturday night now and I am at home. I have enjoyed some happiness, some Guinness and have been chilling out on the back balcony with the Harman/Kardon Ipod speaker. It's not the beach, but it's not at all bad. My plants make a shimmering green shield and the facing lot is empty with some vegetation and rusty of bulldozers and old construction vehicles. There's a lot of birds that flutter about including quite a few hummingbirds. Lizards, frogs and a family of stray cats all hang out in the back yard.

I went for a refreshing swim today at the Gym pool. It's a really nice pool and in the daytime there is never anyone there. I feel like a millionaire swimming up and down the centre of the pool. The air is always still and hot at that time. But it is lovely and I can feel the Vitamin A being absorbed into my skin, giving me the outdoor boost I need. If I am good I might go tomorrow. It's a nice place just to sit, maybe with a J and the ipod.

I bought a lot of goodies in town today. Chestnuts, coffee, bacon (but forgot the bread) and a few other treats.

Last night we checked out a new classroom for rent in town. It is a really nice building with lots of classical intruments, busts of Beethovan, dance mirrors, punch bags etc. It is big with winding passages and alcoves. We met the owners who were cool. With the baby coming, Oi and I need to move and make a few changes to accommodate all that is going to happen. A classroom in town will free up the location restriction we are currently feeling. A home out of town becomes more of a possibility.

I meet someone I have not seen for a long time today. Sten from England. Last time I saw him Don and I helped him move out quickly and in secret from his apartment as he wanted to "lose" his girlfriend. We helpe4d him move all his stuff. I called him a couple of days later and she had moved back in with him and he was all loved up again. Don was pissed and blanked him in the street shortly after. Stef then called me and had a pop about Don and I being cunts. I said I didn't know what he was talking about. Last time I had seen him. Four or five years later he seems to have calmed down. He bought me a coffee and had a chat. There was no mention of the incident, but he has since married the poor girl and she is now pregnant.

News just in is that Tom is out of work again. I think he quit over a point issue he felt strongly about. I hope he can get a new job easily.

BBC Podcasts are still my current passion and very relaxing.

Classes are fine.

A couple of things I have gotten into of late.

The BBC podcasts are a great thing. Every week I DL and transfer to the ipod stuff like; Dr Karl and the Naked Scientist, The Forum, Friday night comedy news quiz. All are excellent either when lying in bed or on the sofa or balcony.

The other thing is Kenneth Clarks Civilisation. A 70's tv documentary which is famous and excellent. If you have the desire to sift through the less frequented pages of the Pirate Bay it is amazing what you can find, like an interview with Ridley Scott talking about The Duellists no less.

Here's The Duellists with interviews and other stuff.

My Brother Has Started a Blog

Already ecipsing him in the Titles department, I am however mighty honoured to announce that my brother, Bobbo or Rob, as he was previouly known, has started a blog.

I hereby request that all regular readers of my blog, bookmark his and check it out regularly for amusing updates and stories. At the same time, I would encourage all readers to pick up thine keyboard and start tapping out some words of your own to amuse your long and distant chums around the world for, as we all know, we are not of the Earth for long and must be kind and make sure we don't disapear into a croc of shit by losing touch with everyone we knew and provide jokes and sparkle to keep the flame alive.

Here's the link;

Happy Birthday To Peter.



Final attempt:

There was a young buck called Peter,
So jolly and kind just to meetcha,
A Hell of a fellow,
And sometimes he's mellow,
And when he goes on he's a preacher.

Failed previous attempts:


There was a young stuff called Peter,
Who told his wife he'd eat her,
She threw him outside,
And he lay down and died,
And that was the end of poor Peter.

There was this young stuff called Peter,
He was one Hell of a cheater,
He stole from his friends,
He kept ferrets and hens,
And Boy what a wiz with an egg beater!

There was a young man called Peter,
Whose father said, "Pass the salt, Peter."
He jumped up and down,
And pranced all around,
And bore a brat with a whore called Anita.

One more,

There was a young man called Peter,
He was just like his brother but neater,
He went to Belguim and France,
Where they taught him to dance,
And when they play him at cards, he's a cheater.

Of Podcasts

Though I only receive mail by means of force, I was never one to desert my public, thus I write...

Well into term now and forcefeeding the little darlings in an intoxsicating cocktail of English.

Coming home from work at 11.30am, I am now swimming 40 lengths at the Gym for the sake of my girth.

Happiness has been plentiful, which means I am normally hanging out on the rear balcony listening to a documentary on the Ipod among my plants.

My 3 private classes in the weekday evenings means there is always a lesson plan that needs thinking about or writing. And having some start of term problems I am trying to be as inventive and effective as possible, whilst injecting maximum amount of fun.

My internet speed has rocked up to about 350k/s so I am burning 4 movies on a DVD with never ending frequency. The only problem is I haven't been in the mood to watch any, though I must recommend the following;

Manchua (Chili flick about a boy)
Half Baked - brilliant stoners movie

I must admit and I am quite dispairing why I get so little enjoyment from movies these days. I think as we grow older we need less and less - hence the radio as my final bastion.

Darling Oi is happy making some present for mum and is totally in prepare for baby mode.

Hat Yai is nice and sunny.

Old man Don and Tom are both cool and still around!

More when there is news.
