Seer is not one of them.
Previously on Norrie's Blog....
Tony Blackburn's show yesterday was not as advertised. Instead, we heard a selection of the 20 best selling singles of the seventies, and, in the 2nd. hour, a selection of the 20 best selling singles of the eighties.
It sounded eerily similar to another radio show. You know! The one we used to listen to...
Maybe it's all part of the Beeb's £700m per annum cut backs... I.E. they've sold off the regional record collections keeping only the favourites for UK wide usage via a central library in Broadcasting House?
I am going to listen. Like those scientists tracking radio waves from outer space seeking beeps from beyond. Bet first thing they hear from outer space is Queen or maybe The Proclaimers.
Well there are two topics which are unrelenting in their endless tedium: the eurozone crisis and Rangers Football Club - the only thing worth discussing is which is the bigger mess and it's a pretty close run thing, so I'll skip those.
Now that Megrahi is away and the show is turned it's back on its troublesome bloggers,there's not so much to get excited about.
Don't be concerned about not understanding much about economics - any arts based subject that has to employ algebraic formulation to demonstrate that your second Mars Bar doesn't taste as good as your first to try and appear scientific is very dodgy anyway - as witnessed by the chaos we have all inherited from people with impressive looking Algebra.
And it's pretty much the original line-up. All these years of learning, practising, rehearsal, personnel changes, small gigs, touring, recording, promotion, personal appearances, videos, management problems, huge earnings and bigge rip-offs, illness and recuperation, breakdowns and rehab, marriages, children and divorces, triumphs and disasters have all been leading up to this concert. It should be quite good.
As I was walking down the road beside the prison, I noticed a rope ladder appear over the wall and then this midget began to climb down it. Just before he reached bottom he looked at me in a rather smug, supercilious fashion.
I know - it's really the tennis season, but is there no' some sort of wee fitba' tournament or something on as well? Well who cares, fitba' or a GIO playlist - which is the more boring?
Save me lookin' what's been happening over on Farcebook? BTW y'all... what about the Good Morning Scotland team this morning reading out Mrs Baps goodluck text message to the torch carrying disc spinner? Christ! If that lot were chocolate...

Is this treatise available in paperback?
DeleteI think Adam meant football. The only excitement so far has been German fans throwing money on to the pitch.
We can talk about next Wednesday, I'm very excited about that.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening?
DeleteIs it the Guild outing?
DeleteAlmost as exciting as the guild outing, it's the school trip to Funworld

He was good here....

Oh Adam!!!!!!! just as well you're in Rio. The other ex-friend who said the same thing no longer dares to venture West of Harthill.
DeleteYes, of course the lovely Mike still plays with them, I'm as nearly as excited to see him as I am Tom.
I'd like to visit Westworld... wonder if "Gunslinger" has been fixed yet?
ReplyDeleteYul find out soon enough.
DeleteDraw!
DeleteYup.
DeleteAnd I'll settle for that in a tough opener.
Jamais sods
DeletePass It On... the show where you're given a running commentary of the Olympic flames whereabouts!
ReplyDeleteWas at a case review meeting tonight and heard the 8 o'clock news cut Mr Granite City off in his torch carrying prime L.O.L.
As I was walking down the road beside the prison, I noticed a rope ladder appear over the wall and then this midget began to climb down it. Just before he reached bottom he looked at me in a rather smug, supercilious fashion.
ReplyDeleteI thought - that was a little condescending.
Tickled me, anyway.
DeleteThat must have been the escaped diminutive fortune-teller.
He is now a small medium at large.
Ah'll get mah coat...
I hope he's recaptured and gets a long stretch.
ReplyDeleteIt's a twenty foot wall and a fifteen foot rope
DeleteHanging is too good for him
DeleteSweet Little Rack 'n' Roller
What have I missed?
ReplyDeleteit being the football season I'd have to say FA.
ReplyDeleteIts no the fitbaw season...actually!!
ReplyDeleteHere, MadMac! I'm surprised you haven't posted on the latest fcebook threed. There are a lot of like-minded souls on there today.
I know - it's really the tennis season, but is there no' some sort of wee fitba' tournament or something on as well? Well who cares, fitba' or a GIO playlist - which is the more boring?
DeleteI've left a wee note for you on your Funworld threed.
DeleteBusy, busy, busy Adam!
DeleteSave me lookin' what's been happening over on Farcebook?

Christ! If that lot were chocolate...
Galaxy, Mars, Milky Way....
DeleteJeezy peeps, it's the space theme all over again
Curiosity got the better of me BUT stopped a the first thread I saw. Those with Farcebook have got to check it out before I'm moderated again ;-)
ReplyDeleteNight, night
