Songs you don't really want to have on while driving your (not technically insured in foreign climes) van on narrow winding roads only to have another van come too fast round a corner and smash off your wing mirror: that high-pitched one by Mika.
Internet access was cut off after being at the house for one day BLOODY FRENCH. Still, I got a lot of ore mined in Warcraft, and that's what this week's really all about (it isn't, we're sorting out Patch's mum's house so it can be sold).
Patch and her father are putting in for repairs at a nearby
* the new one, it's very good.
Sounds more like Summer Holiday than Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteYou're keeping an eye out for your what?
ReplyDelete'that high-pitched one by Mika', that's a bit vague, all his songs sound like that.
ReplyDeleteAah - Harrison Ford in a too-short summery dress' . . .
ReplyDeleteSorry - where was I? Oh yes - Mika's a boy? Name's a bit girlie, what, what?
Never heard of him.
{much laughing here}
ReplyDeleteThe problem I have with playing online games and then driving is that I still think I'm in the game, and I drive really aggressively, and swerve a lot. At imaginary monsters. Bang! Just ran over a troll ninja. Woohoo! While my passenger cowers in the next seat...
I never understood that quote. A parsec is a measure of distance (approximately 3.086×1016 m, or about 3.262 light-years) - it's like saying 'I made the Sheffield to Norwich run in less than 100 miles'.

ReplyDeleteyeah yeah, just rub it in a bit more please. some of us are stuck in rainy scotland you know. out of charity could you not pretend to be in swindon or cleveland or somewhere, instead of the south of france?
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, it's terribly hot, which I can't cope with, so I'm going for a swim in Patch's dad's pool now.
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps.
You're just asking for a smack aren't you?
ReplyDeleteDave: I have thought about your point a lot, and during one hot sleepless night it occurred to me that perhaps doing the Kessel Run is like data packets travelling across a network, in that the aim is to get to the destination point using the shortest possible route, rather than in the shortest possible time.
ReplyDeleteSo you can see that, unlike some, I did not spend my holiday idling in the pool waiting for calls from major broadcasting networks, but engaged in solid thought about Important Things.
I'll bet that Mika song was on the radio rather than on a CD of your choosing. I was recently driving near Bordeaux and it seemed to be the only song on the playlist of every southwest French radio station (apart from the ones in which men with beards talk endlessly about politics.)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. You can tell they have beards on the radio. You can hear the hairs scuffing the microphone.
