ā¦and it was a middle finger.
You wonāt be surprised if I told you that I was not a fan at the time. I didnāt generally approved of manufactured music when Sonia and Rick Astley were being pumped out of our radios.
However, in hindsight I think they were a good band for the youngest to get into. I was the archetypal rock dad saying she ought to be listening to folks creating their own music, and she naturally resisted.
I also said āItās a shame One Direction are not a principled band.ā.
āHow do you know that?ā, she asks.
āWe live on an island. A band of principle with that name would have walked into the sea and drowned by nowā
So why a good choice? Well, eventually the 1D lads started saying exactly the same things I was saying, that they wanted to write the stuff they were performing, the band went their separate ways. Some of them are doing exactly that, or trying to at least.
Letās face it, every one of us would have jumped at the opportunity to do something like they did. Seemed like nice lads doing shit music.

Up early today (no idea why I woke up early but Iāve a sneaky feeling it may be stress).
Went for a walk at local marshes, saw a swan see off two geese who were silly enough to paddle about in his/her river. It was lovely and sunny. Very busy with families meeting up with their friends.
Bit of lunch. My partner then starts talking about the large buildings we can see from the balcony on the flat. Weāve worked out most of the are Tottenham Hale, Finsbury and Manor House. But there was one further away and not as high. Get out my camera with the zoom and take a few pics. We have now worked out itās the Royal Free Hospital 8 miles away just below Hampstead Heath.
Thatās enough excitement for today.

Weāre forehead twins.
Did you ever stop to think how lucky Ricky Martin was, his bird having skin āthe colour mochaā? Heād have been stumped for a rhyme if sheād had anything else.

Not only that but she was an avid Sunderland fan and had a season ticket at The Roker but he chose not to mention that.
I also have it on good authority that her favourite author was Bram Stoker.
He wrote in a line that got cut by the censor. I forget the first part, but it ended āand I feel like I could poke herā¦ā
If his bird (I thought he was gay) was of Orion descent he couldāve rhymed it with coca (a green plant)
If his bird was Satan he couldāve rhymed it with Rioja.
If andorian he couldāve said turk-wah and I think everyone wouldve realised he meant turquoise.
If black, Cocoa probably wouldāve been made to work.
I really donāt think your comment here stands up to much scrutiny.

In the quite likely circumstances that his ābirdā was actually a middle age man with blood pressure issues who claims that JC is a terrorist sympathiser, then in those circumstances he really would be fucked unless he changed the song lyric to "living la Vida jamon. "
