For fecks sake… enough already! Plans for another fuel boycott… chain emails about not using esso… its all pointless… oil is a fossil fuel and it belongs with the dinosaurs! get over it!

When are people gonna get it?? We need to be harassing our politicians and corporations to promote new energy sources and transportation solutions! “monorail, monorail… MONORAIL!”

Grrrrrr.

If you get sent one of these, delete it, certainly don’t send it to me… I don’t own a feckin car!

My springers thought for the day

“taking “action” to try n fight petrol prices is like running around the titanic trying to get your money back… its a waste of time, you should be looking for a lifeboat”

              

I’m alive! Well… significantly on the mend anyways…

the main indicator for this is… I had a shave.

Not really sure why, but when I’m ill I stop shaving.. like its some big protest against the world or just can’t be arsed really!

I’m going to do the show tonight, which means… I’m venturing outside the safety of my own home! First expedition, to the shop to get a maison ticket, last ever maison this weekend no matter how ill I am i’ll go for at least 30mins… so many memories.

2nd trip, a bit further to the po box… then 3rd trip the radio station! Oooh buses…

Can’t wait to eat proper food again, been a bit more adventurous today with… a plain grilled turkey breast, rice and a tiny amount of dried apricots sliced up - heaven compared to the liquid n plain stuff diet I have been on

              

Finally feeling like I’m on the mend, hopefully… I should re-appear in public this weekend, although I won’t be able to drink.

uuuuuuuuuuuuh

I really want to get on with stuff

              

Apologies for the lack of posts, I’ve been quite sick.

I’ve been to the doctor, have some drugs to take and hopefully I’ll be all better soon.

UPDATE - starting to do my own nut in, if you fancy dropping in and helping save my sanity txt me

              

No really… in every sense of the word…

Ok, so you check-in online… theres a front row seat available… LEG ROOM!!! Do you take it??

Hmmm… its the gamble.. most likely babies are in the front row… vs well… LEG ROOM!

Beware Flying Babies part 1 - Being that my flight bag is also my record bag, it normally has ear plugs in the back pocket.. winner… prepared for babies that fly, ear plugs in, noise go down. (they’re industrial, loud club strength ones)

That was ok, I helped the lady next to me when I could, I’m a decent bloke… then I thought…

Beware Flying Babies part 2 - babies can emit all kinds of toxic substances, aha! A use for the blanket, a baby gak sheild… result…

I’m happy, I’ve had my meal, I’m dozing off… the babies on the front row are all being quiet in the crib things that get attached to the wall in front… all is good…

The seatbelt sign comes on “bla bla bla please return to your seats we may experience some turbulence”… ok, no biggie… then the stewardess come over and asks the woman to return the baby to her lap in case it flies out… the lady declines, saying she doesn’t want to wake her.. I mean… I have to agree with her… turbulence can’t really catapult babies around an aircraft… can it…?

So its a bit bumpy, then it dies off, I drift off to sleep… zzzzzz….

Beware Flying Babies part 3 - until the aircraft jolts and a baby is launched onto my knees waking me up! I just about caught it as it started to slide down my legs (my reactions were pretty quick considering I was out) The mother is fast asleep… I gently give her a nudge and pass her the baby… she doesnt seem at all bothered and puts it back in the crib.

The moral of this story… erm… take a baby net on aeroplanes if you’re sitting on the front row?

Capitalism cheapening Bangkok…
