I was out on the lash on Saturday night
But I think it ended in disgrace
As I woke up in a skip next morning
With a kebab stuck to my face

I WAS OUT ON THE LASH ON SATURDAY NIGHT
I HATE AUTOMATED SWITCHBOARDS
I hate automated switchboards
They are so annoyingly slow
I wanted to book tickets
For an Elvis act a know
Each minute on the phone
Was costing me dough
Then at last it said press 1
For the money, 2 for the show
TOM SHARPE RIP
He wrote Vintage Stuff
Of
Riotous Assembly
And
Indecent Exposure
He
liked his Porterhouse Blue
In
the Great Pursuit
And
was no Blott on the landscape
Nor
was he The Throwback
With
Ancestral Vices
And
in the end, he didn’t die
It
was just a simple case of Wilt
I REMEMBER LIKE YESTERDAY
I remember like yesterday
That cold and crispy morn
And just how proud I felt
On the day my son was born
THEY’RE PUTTING ON ACTIVITIES
They’re putting on activities
For those whose lives need enhancing
Well, I’m hard of hearing
And of the activities they are advancing
Budgie jumping, parrot shooting
And hen gliding
Might be worth chancing
But no way am I going to have a go
ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE JACKAL (1997)
“The Jackal” is a crime drama, screenplay by Kenneth Ross loosely based on the novel by Frederick Forsyth and Directed by Michael Caton-Jones.
The action starts in Moscow, where the FBI and their Russian counterparts,
the MVD, are working on a joint mission to apprehend Russian mobster Ghazzi
Murad (Ravil Isyanov) for murder, but he is killed in the process.
In retaliation Ghazzi's brother, Terek (David Hayman) hires an assassin by
the code name Jackal (Bruce Willis) to carry out a hit on a high profile
American target.
Initial intelligence points to that target being Donald Brown (John
Cunningham), the Director of the FBI.
The Jackal is known only by name and reputation, no one in authority
knows who he is or what he looks like, some are not sure he even exists, FBI
Deputy Director Preston (Sidney Poitier) learns of only one person alive who
they know has had ties to the Jackal: former Basque separatist Isabella
Zanconia (Mathilda May) , but her whereabouts are unknown, so Preston, MVD
officer Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) turn to the only person who might lead
them to her, former IRA gunman Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), but first they
need to get him out of Federal Prison.
It’s a great intelligent thriller rather than an all
action thrill fest, Willis portrays the perfect cold-blooded assassin, if I have
one criticism it would be Richard Gere’s dodgy Irish accent, but it’s still a
great thriller.

Would anyone know was Rip Torn?
Did
anyone else see Oliver Bourne?
Does
anyone know is George Nigh?
You
should have seen Kevin Tighe?
