Reasons to be Cheerful....

I am Darth Sarky, dark lord of the Sniff!

Have been inspired by 'Reasons To Be Cheerful, Part 3' by Ian Dury and by the fact that everyone seems down at the moment.

Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3 3/4...

Alphabet, The
Beatles, The
Casablanca
Diet Coke
Errol Flynn
Flynn, Errol
Guitars. God. Guitar gods.
Hollywood
Ice cream. Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.
Jim Morrison
King's Cross, Platform 9 3/4.
Love, All you need is
Marilyn Monroe
Nat King Cole
Order of the Phoenix. It is coming, and it's coming from Suffolk.
Potter, Harry
Quintessential, the word
Richards of all kinds: Burton, Harris, Day.... OK, so most of you don't know the last one. But trust me.
Snark, the gift of.
Trees. They are leafy and green, no matter who believes in them.
Uzbekistan. I've never been there, but I like the sound of the name.
Voldemort. Because he's got a good line in minions.
Worleys. Some of em. ;). Weasleys. Most of em.
Xylophones.
Yuletide. Because Christmas is when the BBC put on the
Zeppelin, Led.


Saw 'K19- The Widowmaker' and 'Ali' today. The former was a very odd movie because it was made by Americans who needed to make Soviets look heroic without Soviets actually being heroic. Harrison Ford as a Soviet Captain is the funniest thing I've seen all year, though.

On 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross', Jonathan mentioned briefly the nicking of Book Five. He then proceeded to mis-translate Hogwarts' motto as something along the lines of 'Draco Malfoy hangs out at Spearmint Rhino' (a famous lapdance club in Britain, I believe). He then proceeded to say how he was glad Harry was now grown up in the book. He described it thus: deep-voiced Harry offering Hermione a fiver to dance for him before mentioning, ahem, his broomstick. Jonathan, has clearly been hanging about in some of the dingier corners of the HP fandom. I'm sure you'll all join me in welcoming him heartily ;)

Pictures and Worst Britons.

Hello! I finally went to the library (shock!) and found the scanner (horror!) to scan me pictures.

Pictures Galore, baby!

I've got the nice, shiny sign they put up at Kings' Cross for Platform 9/34. Note the Evening Standard guy selling there. I assume he doesn't stand there on days when Hogwarts kids travel to or from school. Also there's platforms 9 and 10 because I was bored. As you can see, there's no barrier between the two... hee hee.

And, to return liss1224's favour, there's also two pictures of... moi. As you'll see there's me on the London Eye, squinting in the sun with the Houses of Parliament as backdrop... interesting. Not. And, because I'm really generous, there's the picture of me with a far prettier person. I'm the one not wearing a Thunderbirds t-shirt. Tee hee hee.

Channel 4 continues its lists of 100s with the 100 Worst Britons. It's cynical enough to be written by me, but some of these people are far too low down the list. Harry Potter is on the list, which I feel is unfair considering he's.... NOT REAL. They had the obligatory anti-occultist on there. I think to be fair most people voted him into the forties because well, he's so sodding popular. It's incredibly amusing to em that some of the people commenting are, to me, high up on the list of 100 Worst Britons. Am amused.

Hope you liked the pics! Loff you all!
