F1RST!!!
My day is looking pretty average, boring and monotonous as usual. On the plus side, I do have SHINY NEW HELMET
Alt: The guitar in the theme tune to Quantum Leap.

Specifically the bit at 42 seconds, although it probably isn't a guitar now I have listened to it again.

I had a conversation with a rather sweary and quite racist concierge.
Bit I'm in the North so I was expecting it really. Good start to the day I think

Crime, racism, child poverty, hooliganism and gambling*
All pretty much highest in London.
Hillsborough whinging is Scousers - they're not allowed to be included as they're dole scum grief athletes.
Whippet owning? Couldn't get the stats.
*from the data I could find - London and the aforementioned Scousers are possibly neck-and-neck.

So it was a bunch of stuff I'd never heard of except for 'Down Down'. I can't tell you the relief you feel after an hour and a half being jostled by bearded sweaty denimites when you can actually sing along to something.

I'd been meaning to get around to watching some Studio Ghibli films at some point
but it took my 14 year old to actually get me sat down to watch Spirited Away last night. Excellent film made all the more special by it being the first time I've been introduced to a film by one of my children.
I'm an hour into work and I've already done a days worth. I suppose I should be expanding my skills or summat now but I really can't be arsed. I'm a real fucken go-getter!
Alt: Dunno. Do I have to think of something really obscure to look cool? Cause I can't be arsed doing that either. I'll say In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, The Chain or I am The Resurrection.

I just have a blinding red-rage hatred for the 'barely adequate pub band that got lucky' that is the shitefest of Oasis.
