That voting thing ....

	Silly Party 60
Sensible Party -50
	Slightly Silly Party 13
	UK Chutney Party 1
	Very Silly Party 120

You should vote: Very Silly Party

Not sure what the Very Silly Party stand for but if I remeber correctly they have a candidate called: Arthur Peter Brown Telescope Adrian Blackpool Rock Stoat-Gobbler John Raw Vegetable (whwhwhwhwhuh) Norman Michael (ding ding ding) (tweeet!) Edward (Honk, honk) 'Shubiddy shubiddy shubiddy' (low honk) Thomas 'Oh, we'll keep a welcome in' (BANG!) Williams (rising whis-tle) 'Rain-drops keep falling on my' (whing!) 'Don't sleep in the subway' (Cuckoo cuckoo) nyeuueneuhuenhuh Smith. Which has to be a good thing.

Shameless re post

Whilst half way thru a bottle of Merlot I stumbled upon an old post that deserved a 2nd (or 3rd) outing.

A self portrait:



BBC2 can do repeats ... why not me?

London, New York, Paris....

Ah the gondolas, the palm trees and chirping cicadas in the late evening. We can only be in one place.

Festival Ukes - The set list

So part of the USP of Festival Ukes is that the stall at Glastonbury is going to be staffed by people dressed like the Bader Meinhof gang playing ukuleles. Part of the sale is that we will teach each customer how to play "Wild Thing" on the uke before they go.

One of the issues we have is getting a "set list" together, a large proportion of which must appeal to the "Kids". Bear in mind that the Dukes of Uke are heading towards their forties and still don't think that much happened in popular music since the last Clash album.

Now we have a resonable version of "Wonderwall" by Oasis and a bad version of "Fell in Love with a girl" by the White Stripes but need a few more suggestions.

I would like a funk track ...

Anybody got any ideas, please note that that we must have a chance of playing the tunes on ukuleles so most of Marilyn Manson's back catalouge is out I am afraid.

C'mon my lovely blog chums ... . .

festival ukes - update

The ukes have arrived. Aint they purdy.

Alcoholism

Question 10 on the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism FAQ asks:

Q #10: How can you tell if someone has a problem?

Answering the following four questions can help you find out if you or a loved one has a drinking problem:

* Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
* Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
* Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?
* Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

One "yes" answer suggests a possible alcohol problem.

To this I would add:

* Have you ever felt like drinking the warm tins of cider on top of the fridge?

If you ever feel like drinking the warm cider then you are bang to rights I reckon.

Do you have any similar dusty drinks in your house?
