I heard a brilliant story last night. A celebrated Comedian/Promoter on the sunny South Coast was doing a lunchtime after- dinner thing when one of his punters nodded off. It wasn't until he'd finished his set that he was told that the old gadgee had passed away! Round Table and the likes often have these lunches and I've done my fair share of them, I've had people fall asleep but never one that's gone and died on me, something to tell the Grandkids that one.
It's FA Cup Third Round day today. This was always a great day in the footy calendar, however I fear, since Disney United chose to go to South America a few years ago instead of taking part in the best club cup competition in the world (c. John Motson) it's appeal has waned. We got to the semi final last season and it still stirs the heart, unfortunately us up against the terminally dull Crystal Palarse doesn't set my pulse racing.
I watched Dom Jolly's new version of "Trigger Happy TV" last night, it's got a new title and it's gone global but the premise is the same. I smiled a lot at the pranks he pulled but the best bit was the music he chooses to accompany his films. One song leapt out as a tune I'd not heard in years and is definitely in my top ten "The Unguarded Moment" by Australian band "The Church", a fine piece of Rickenbacker, jingle jangle, West Coast sound. It's been in my heed ever since, I must track it down.
