Too tired to drink - need holiday - 5 more days at work. Not that Iām counting.
Annoyed. Yesterday was supposed to be T20 day. Yorkshire Lancs Durham MCC & others. Sit on grass village cricket style sip beers for 12 hours.
And it rained. In the desert. By fuck it rained. Tropical lightning storms cars and BUSES floating away emergency mission to rescue our Tortoise from the swimming pool of a patio to a refuge in the bathroom (Christ on a bike Tortoise shit STINKS)
Ended up a Netflix day. As it was just suicidal to try to drive & average taxi waiting times were 2 hours.
Today? Every attention seeker is donning their Gucci for the big horse race & quaffing Ā£150 bottles of Prosecco and then not being able to see Sia in concert. Good luck with that, Wellies & Armani really dont work even at Glasto.
Another Netflix day looms hope the fecking show offs have a miserable day.
We wonāt. I have OSH.

Chance would be a fine thing.
Even an easily sozzled lush like me would struggle to get pissed at The Brook.
I made it to the bar once during the gig and bought two pints* because I knew I didnāt want to miss any more of the set.
I donāt know why they just donāt get more staff on. Theyād make a fortune.
As a side note, if you get the chance to see Legend, a Bob Marley and the Wailers tribute act, do so. They were great.
*Regular readers will know that this is normally enough to send me batshit mental, but I was drinking Sharpās Atlantic** which is lower alcohol than my usual Punk IPA from Brewdog (probably the best Brewery in the world).
**It might have been Sharpās Doombar. And I guess this uncertainty means that I must have been Slightly Pickled***.
***Actually I did have a couple of liveners in The Waggon Works waiting for the train. And I did walk past The Brook to the Waggoners Arms for a cheeky one in there. Yeah, I was Slightly Pickled.
Fuck.

i is a bit pissed.
Good rum night with me mate who is heavily into his Venezualan rum.
Edited to the correct word. Conversations! So far we have covered Trump, common sense, Islam, Corbyn, how languages have changed and really you should not use certain derogatory words.
Itās Sotonians forum but in real life.

Venezuelan rum is top notch. If youāre offered a bottle then snap it up. Iāve sampled a fair few and the Venezuelan rums are far and away the best. Try all the others though. Itās all subjective.

Kind of conflicted, I wasnāt a huge fan of the TV series, but āFire Walk with Meā is just genius. At the time, the TV series was really popular, it was a kind of weird soap opera that went out on Friday night. āFire walk with Meā had a terrible reaction at Cannes and TV audiences werenāt impressed. Lynch plays around with traditional storytelling, Twin Peaks is basically a procedural cop drama, filtered through a surrealist. āFire Walk With Meā is more Lynch as itās a surreal nightmare of incestual rape.

Inland Empire was a bit too surreal, but the guy is 70 and he struggled to get funding 20 years ago. As a classical director he made āThe Elephant Manā and āThe Straight Storyā.
Itās a shame that really original artists have to resort to online funding to get anything made. āMulholland Driveā was cut down from a TV series he was supposed to film, itās his best film ā¦ IMO 
Lager-ed watching The Expanse with Mrs C_S
Could be worse I supposeā¦
agreed Fire walk with me is great 
but one of the things I loved about twin peaks (1st series especially) was that youād be watching a scene, like the one where theyāre eating cheese sandwiches, but you know somewhere in twin peaks something more important is happening at the same time, but you donāt get to see it, instead youāre watching 2 men eat sandwiches, and i guess your brain fills in the rest of the story as you find out more. if that makes sense 
Now I want a cheese sandwich goddamn
