This Is This

I had visions of posting every day over Christmas and saying what I thought about Nigella Lawson and, I don’t know, all kinds of important updates, but the truth is I’m too busy and I think that’s going to continue while I get ready for Christmas, try and shake this cold and do some essential things.

My birthday was good - we went out and saw the James Bond film, which was great, apart from the bits where Incidental Man starts commentating to Supporting Actress on a poker game for the benefit of us, the audience.

“He’s got three aces and a nine. If the next card is a joker, he has to go fish.”

Yes, thank you.

It was a bit rubbish, like in those Roy of the Rovers comics where someone in the crowd goes: “Roy’s taken in round the back. If he scores this, the Rovers will be in the Cup Final.”

I think Incidental Man should have been in every scene.

“James is going into cardiac arrest. If he doesn’t start his heart again he’s going to die from a lack of oxygen to the brain.”

“James has a text message. He’s going to get caller info and dial the number and find out whose phone rings.”

So anyway, back on the 27th, I imagine. In earnest anyway. Possibly with less earnest before then, or sin gusto.

Cheers all have a great break if you’re on one.

When did “I’m good” replace “no thank you”? Did I miss something?
