I met David Niven

I was 6 and was with my Dad in Cannes. David was walking towards us and my dad said hello to him thinking he was someone he knew.

David said “Hello dear boy, how is your son? “ and shook our hands grinning.
Dad realised, it wasn’t an old friend, but it was Niven as the legend strolled off down the street.

Paper Tiger was on TV a couple of days later.

So having met both, I can confirm Docherty doesn’t have Niven level charm

Do I vote again? I voted @h2o

I “met” Docherty, we were soundchecking before being (3rd? 4th?) support act at the falcon?/bull&gate?/another Camden dive.

To his credit he came and watched for a bit with two girls hanging off him. They didn’t have a deal at that point but there was a queue up the street to get in.

what would drive someone to get on a boat in to the complete unknown with no way back

There were alleged sightings of Inuits in canoes off the north coast of Scotland (Finn-men) and a heavily disputed account of an Inuit arriving in Roman Occupied Belgium. Contemporary Inuits were asked if it were possible and they seemed to think it wouldn’t be easy but totally possible to make such a journey.
In their mind, you would be travelling on top of a food source and you could access fresh water via ice or rainwater.

Obviously getting to Australia is different in many ways, but it wouldn’t have been a moonshot, it would have been incremental journeys of exploration. The unknown would have reduced over many journeys over many generations

I was anti Englishmen in baseball caps until the Libertines sang:

“ There's fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in
a baseball cap”

And so I bought a baseball cap

I think I’ve said it before but 30 years ago I went to a Wimpy with a guy from uni.
It was his recommendation. “Wanna eat a burger with a knife and fork?”

I’m not easily shocked, but it felt perverted like a John Waters film and then not wanting to be a prude…I did it. I ate a burger with a knife and fork off a plate. It’s pretty out there I know, kinda taboo but sometimes rules are there to be broken

I hate those burgers and the fucking backward baseball cap cro-magnon dickheads two-fisting a burger taller than their face into their gob with ooze dripping down their forearms and off their chin. Then they complete the bite and chew with so much food in their gob their face bulges out like a fucking chimp.

Knife, fork, plate.

I know who he is but he can’t hurt me, because I don’t watch telly

Seriously it’s for people in nursing homes…leave it alone

Exactly that

Such a good design

Enjoyed a little session at Lyme Regis skatepark with my son and my (utter ripper of a) nephew

The park is a small square affair on two levels with bowled out ends and corners.

There’s a bunch of nice edges and coping at various heights, it’s a great learning spot

I got my drop ins back on a very small transision. I started to bust out some old moves to embarrass the nephew and impress the old local. Apparently Willy Grinds and Bertslides are not the done thing

Just got through The Daughters War by Christopher Buehlman. It’s the sequel to The Blacktongue Thief.

It’s a series of fantasy books yanno goblins and stuff. The Daughters War is far heavier and less amusing than the Blacktongue thief, but there’s romance and fierce platonic love through the grinding horror. There’s a nice set up for the third book. I will read the next book

@Squaredisk

It’s like Ai…a Pandora’s box of innovation

Calimocho is not classy
It’s what you do if you absolutely need to projectile vomit black bile while singing a sentimental song.

The Wolfie:

A snake bite variant in my old local was called “the Wolfie” named after a kid called Wolfie who invented it.

It was diamond white and gold label barley wine.

We once walked into a the unusually empty pub with Wolfie stood amongst a pile of broken barstools

The next day there was a sign behind the bar which read:

“WOLFIE IS NOT ALLOWED MORE THAN 4 WOLFIES”

Yeah it’s a shandy but normally a shandy dilutes the alcoholic content to below that of a normal pint, by going over 7.5% with the beer you are still in normal pint range as long as your lemonade margin is below 30% of the drink

Throughout my life I have often found myself without the correct tool or with a problem that has yet found a solution.

I was considering this over my latest creation “Hard Shandy” (shandy made with 7% beer, so it still gives you the buzz but tastes summery)

I have been struggling with tendinitis in one of my legs and found that ice packs help. I considered getting some of those ice recovery trousers, but they cost a million quid or something, so I have a plan to marry a few wine cooler sleeves together so I can make a kind of pair of “cryo-shorts” for about a tenner

Tell us about your innovations

Somehow I have tickets to see him in Cardiff later in the year.

Recently he was heading in the direction of Morrissey and having opinions for clicks…hopefully he’s wound his neck in

@RonnieOatmilk we have a Winner!

Great shot, new theme please.

Yeah he’s my spirit guide

Ok going to add those to bag

Happy Birthday!
