TV Adverts.

I was watching the end of the Liverpool vs Chelsea match when after it was done I was subjected to the following nonsense:



I can't help but think that it is a really bad attempt at subverting this:



Needless to say it fails miserably. Furthermore, what on earth possessed Samuel L Jackson to prostitute himself and hawk Virgin tv? Does he really need the money? I'm guessing not. There certainly can't be an artistic reason for doing so so I guess it down to that age old affliction of greed. I shouldn't be surprised.

Caledonia bound.

This is Mitch and I today, sans the bad hair.

Dickie Davies Eyes

Possibly my favourite Half Man Half Biscuit song, but definitely my favourite lyrics. Here's the great man himself- look at his eyes!


And the lyrics:

Mention the Lord of the Rings one more time
And I'll more than likely kill you.
"Moorcock, Moorcock, Michael Moorcock" you fervently moan.
Is this a Wok that you shove down my throat,
Or are you just pleased to see me?
Brian Moore's head looks uncannily like London Planetarium.

Chorus:
And all those people
Who you, romantically,
Like to still believe are alive,
Are dead!
So I'll wipe my snots
On the arm of your chair
As you put another Roger Dean poster
On the wall.
God, I could murder a Cadbury's Flake ?
Then I guess you wouldn't let me into heaven.
Or maybe you would because their adverts promote oral sex!
A Romany bint in a field with her paints,
Suggesting we faint at her beauty,
But she's got "Dickie Davis Eyes!"

Chorus x 2

And for comparison's sake, the advert. Uncanny I tell you.



Is it bad that I actually like the song in the advert? Probably.

And the song itself for your aural pleasure here:

Apologies as it is in m4a format which means you'll probably need iTunes to play it. I love this song.

Mon the piggies!

It was an image conjured up by my own mind not too dissimilar to this that eventually convinced me to give up on flesh and become vegetarian.



And I also wonder where you can find pigs who's insides are already like salami? Must be rarer than hens' teeth.

And for posterity, I found it here.
