I don't know if I've mentioned this, but my beloved television has been playing up for some time. The TV part has been perfectly fine, but the video part (it's a combo) has been nausing up videos for ages and for the past few weeks I've hardly dared watch any on it. This means no Buzzcocks for ages.

Yesterday I cracked and begged my mam to take me to the shops today and buy a new one. Nice and cheap now, cos videos are being phased out. We went to Tesco and I bought a Bush one for like, seventy quid. All well and good...

It doesn't have teletext. Now let me explain: The first thing I do in the morning, before even drinking Coke, is to turn on the TV to BBC1 and flick to Ceefax/teletext p 102. It gives me the following things: the time and the headlines. Then I go to the Entertainment news on page 501. It's that moment in the morning where my heart stops, just in case the headline flashes *SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT* DEAD, p 502.

I don't bother with TV listings- I use teletext, particularly the Now & Next page (p 606 on BBC, 120 on ITV, 4 & 5). I've seen a lot of interesting stuff I might not have bothered with otherwise through that.

This TV doesn't have any of that. I can't imagine living without it, but I know it would piss my mum off no end, after taking me to Tesco especially, for me to return it and get my money back. I want to, though. It would mean being without video again until I can get another one.

Ideas anyone?

AND OMG! Martin Scorsese on Jonathan Ross' tv show! I hope he explains what the HELL he was thinking casting Jude Fucking Law as Errol Flynn in The Aviator.

I. Reply to this post, because I would like to say a couple words about you.

II. I will also tell you what song(s) remind me of you when I hear it.

III. I will also tell you what celebrity/movie character/public person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.

IV. I will also (try to) give ONE WORD that I associate with you when I think of you.

V. We all could use a boost now and then, so steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well.

Twice in a night

So, being in a work environment has landed me with a vast array of amusing forwards from bored people. Some were amusing, some were funny, but this made me laugh out loud because I can see it in my head perfectly:

A very confident James Bond walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks “Is your date running late?”

He replies “Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it.”

Intrigued, the woman says, "State-of-the-art watch?What's so special about it?”

Bond explains “It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.”

The lady says “What's it telling you now?”

“Well, it says you're not wearing any panties”

The woman giggles and replies “Well it must be broken because I am wearing panties.”

Bond smirks, taps his watch and says “Bloody thing's an hour fast.”

And I've also been working on a new original story, which leapt into my head almost fully formed. Unfortunately it's a bit on the cliche side at the moment because of that, but I thought I'd post the first part here and see what you think. More will be posted at Flynnanigans soon, I'm sure.
