Uninteresting Trivial Facts

Good of your dentist to open up late.

 

 

I forgot that you're one of the Gloucester gentry; forever networking on the Cotswold dinner party circuit.

Peter Capaldi is the only Dr Who to have won an Oscar.

Peter Capaldi is no relation to Jim Capaldi.

I knew a Pete and Tony Capaldi when I was growing up. Different ones though as the Pete Capaldi I knew was a rather portly type.

Perhaps the UK was once flooded with Capaldi's, just after the last ice age. That would mean most Italians are native to this country. 

I don't know any Italians.

BTW, Jim did a great version of "Love Hurts."

[Wolford6]

Wash your mouth out.

 

There's only one definitive version of Love Hurts ... Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.

[Wolford6]

Not bad, but a bit like Nazareth, not quite top drawer. Emmylou and Gram turned it into a duet, which took the song to another plane

 

I always thought that the best British version, if they had a bash, would be turned out by Frankie Miller and Bonnie Tyler. It would be able to be both good and different from Emmylou and Gram.

I watched Countdown yesterday and managed to come up with the word wotsits.

 

Turns out it's not in the dictionary.

Will he be taking the production on tour?

Just got back. I thought that some of the acting was child-like, singing hit and miss, and the plot was very thin. Decent selection of emotional mothers though.

Three stars.

So you won't be hiring anyone for your band?

Who brought the myrrh?

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me.  (Safe for work, unless the Indy is classed NSFW where you work, maybe the Daily Mail or Sun offices)

[Wolford6]

An anagram of Larry the Leit is Tyler The Liar.

 

Maybe that's the name of his band.

On Friday I learned from an 83 year old former farm worker that what is now my house was regularly used in the 50s and 60s as a place in which to force rhubarb.

Be very careful.

That is sooooo spooky. There used to be a poster on here that came from the rhubarb triangle. Imagine if you had moved into his old house. You wouldn't want him haunting you, he was a nasty piece of work.

[longboard]

It's a big time of year for forcing.

I've bought diesel there loads of times, and a settee from the DFS next door, but never been in that Morrisons store. The carpark is huge and always looks so full that I've always assumed that there will be huge queues at the checkouts.

Why is that nice young lady, Taylor Swift, singing on the radio about Starbucks lovers?

[Wolford6]

Because she's an Americana.

[hindle xiii]

Back to work after two weeks off, for a few hours at least and then back proper 5^th Jan.

 

Oh, and my laptop at home is well and truly fudged hence my absence.
