So my continued lack of success with her, then, relies entirely on her not being arrested for mass possession and manufacturing of a class B drug and having her shaman-blessed weed farm dismantled? *resists calling the old bill* Or could this renewed hope simply be a ruse, and she's actually in her death throes? Maybe the process of dying has done much to ameliorate her lexical diarrhoea, hence the surprisingly sensible diatribe in her latest update that was so out of character. Soddit. She's gonna outlive me, isn't she?

Shit.

This just came up on shuffle. Very clever. Very odd. Very brilliant.

Favourite Blur song. And I'm a huge fan of Blur.

For National Poetry day, I'd like to profess my love for the Haiku. The art of 5-7-5 syllables is harder than it sounds. Or, as John Cooper Clarke once put it: To freeze the moment In seventeen syllables Is very diffic

I believe Prophet has Escheverria this round.

Charlie Daniels is among us, I reckon...

I'm not habitually a big subscriber to the Motown sound. But this was, is and will always be utterly superb.

I’m not sure it’s embarrassing; a lot of them are punts, which turn out more impressive picks when they do die, though obviously the nature of it is that some of them don’t.

I’d like to debut with J P de C please

Thanks. I know right, Lincolnshire Day already?! My god, it comes round quicker every year

Herr @Book ist ein twunt! Well done geez

DL draws even with me at 10 apiece, simply because I forgot that Aznavour existed because I’m an amateur.

Alison Rosalind Bracknell. I know, I just found out today her name isn't actually Leah. I've been doing it all wrong since the start of last year.

Can't wait for the fucking poem about 'Geez'.

This song's quite beautiful. I must stress that I only listened to it and didn't watch the video of Bryan Ferry, I find him a creepy looking fucker.

It wasn't the most wonderful time of the year for the family of Andy Williams on this day 6 years ago, aged 84. [IMAGINE FACE OF CROONER ANDY WILLIAMS]

Awful, Putin, very sad news. I had a similar thing back when I was at college and it don't half shock you. Take it easy geez.

Hopefully the latter. Shitty old pervert.

What, in that against all odds she'll survive forever?

Full transparency then for October because I live life on the edge and I don't even fucking care who knows it. 1) Pope Benedict XVI 2) Queen Elizabeth II 3) Prince Philip 4) Valerie Harper 5) Lawrence Ferlinghetti 6) Nobby Stiles 7) Clive James 8) Henry Kissinger 9) Vera Lynn 10) Richard A.
