Be Excellent To Each Other

That shoddy 'written in the stars! A million miles away! Something blah blah wind!' one? Dunno, but it was the WrestleMania theme too. It made money, evidently!

Urgh! That's the one!

That's your favourite song, that is. That's your all time top of the pop that you'll walk down the aisle to.

When you marry its singer.

I'm not sure I could ever go out with a woman who could so clearly kick my ass.

I find that part of the charm

After the revolution there will be naked men on all statues.

The way the statue in the clip appears to be looking at the man's bits with a look of disgust and intrigue is quite amusing.

Of course, 'Naked man claims onto Duke of Cambridge' would be an even bigger story.

After events of the past week, the "Wedding Planning Round Table Commitee" has been poisoned, stabbed, rolled up into a carpet and thrown into the Volga. This has been replaced by me, in a position of absolute authority, and MrsA as enforcer. "It will be here or here, your travel arrangements, as your accomodation arrangements are your own, and we've arranged for models to replace you in the photos". Any objections are met with MrsA.

The ever-useful 'Wikipedia' (citation needed) has a list of Prime Ministers' nicknames. Of the 13 post-war ones, there is no entry for Anthony Eden.

We must make amends.

"Bleed 'em"

'The Gardener'

I forgot about Milk Snatcher!

Things I have learnt today:

When making telephone inquiries for the hire of 99 doves and a perigrine falcon do not mention the words "a bit like a raffle, but better".

'Deborah M'

"Tony".

"The Prime Minister"

What is the love is like a bell clang clang clang clang thing?

Corinthians 13, dude.

If you have that twatty thing from Captain Corelli then I shall murder you.

A mandolin?

Although if you get that confused with a pangolin and get MrsA down the aisle accompanied by a horde of screeching monkeys that would be tops.

You've met her family, too?

Ah, yes. Taylor Swift is going to love reading that.

The 'love is a temporary madness' bollocks.

What's a cannibal's favourite band?

Happy birthday, Spinoza.

Drunk on rum. Could be worse; there was absinth.

I literally can't remember the last time I had absinthe. I believe it was funtimes, though, despite the photos.

this evening I had to resort to cointreau.

Me too! Drinking awful cheapo "Superior Rum" out of a plastic bottle. Also Grolsch.

We have left a bottle of champgne, some gin and some doctor pepper. Might be bedtime, then. Boo!

"If you don't love me you can't run up the stairs"

Name the song that I misheard the lyrics to!

If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen?

Played seven hours of X-COM: Apocalypse today. Whatever was causing my game to crash on the end of week report hasn't bothered the Steam version, and after nearly a decade I've been able to pick up my Superhuman game.

I'd done quite a lot, too... three bases, captured the first six types of UFO. I'm on the brink of where things turn in my favour, as I have the disruptor cannons being researched now and have just encountered aliens with the portable energy shield, so that'll be next (with any luck, before that fucking Entropy Gun appears). Just fended off a base assault too.

Ken Leeeeeeeeee! To libbu dibbu douch-ooo.

Can I have access to the dead thread please.

It was Rule the World from Stardust.

Your pre-nuptials are weird.

Damn. I was so close.

Today's Torygraph says that Charlie just can't wait to be king...

Charles: 'I'm running out of time'

The Steam Autumn Sale hasn't been kind to my bank account.

//edit: Fucking typical, I buy Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, and not four hours later they're half the price they were - and they were already in the bloody sale!

Bloody hell. My mate's girlfriend just won 'Miss Delaware'!

Now that's a decent raffle prize.

Ace!

She should come to the cottage.

Rule 1, FFS.

What does she get to do with her?

Arf arf.

He's going to make her into a seal?

Fantastic story on Wired involving Skateboarding and war zones.
There are some nice people out there.

This morning there was so much flooding on the walk to the train station that every single car that went through a puddle drenched the entire pavement. That turned the walk into a platform game where I had to dash along stretches of pavement in between cars in order to reach safe zones. Which was nice.

I prefer the game where you have to time your driving so that pedestrians aren't behind parked cars as you pass them.
