Concert Videos: I'm TA at directors who keep cutting away from the band, to random people in the audience bopping away. As if we need reminding that there is an audience?

In my experience, the "gold standard" concert film is Stop Making Sense by the Talking Heads. It has a great director (Jonathan Demme, who went to on to direct Silence of the Lambs) and an innovative set design: from one guy with a guitar and a boombox, the stage, set and the band are built up as the concert progresses. The audience is heard a bit, but not shown at all until the encore. The result is more than a "concert film": it's a work of art.

Im going to watch that.SOTL is one of my favourite films,frightens the s*ite out of me everytime I watch it and I used to love Talking Heads years ago..I will report back.:pac:

I thought I saw an ad for 100 ways to Kill my Mammy:o and it was meant to be on tonight but I cant find it and cant remember the channel.

I got that Sky on Demand thing months ago and its still in the box because Im too lazy (and hate techy thingys) to connect it up.

Booked an appointment with the dentist. This must be what going to confession feels like.

Bless me doctor for I have sinned, it has been X years since my last visit. Mmhm, Ive been brushing 3 times a day. (will probably sound a bit more garbled as I have a mans hand in my mouth)

My dentist is a woman Randy, comes highly recommended, does a mean job of keeping my choppers in top condition too, so good in fact that I've had to break a tooth twice this year alone! :pac:

Just turned on the hall light. It blew.

Something blew in the old television in my room last week. Had to sleep in a different room that night, the smell of melted plastic was toxic. Following morning I wake up and bathroom light goes. About two weeks ago the light above the cooker blew. I don't frighten easy but there was plenty of expletives when that happened. There's a lot of bulbs blowing around me lately.

Dentists are lovely but I hate them.

If people were honest about it they would hate them too.

Who wants anyone poking around in your gob (while you are lying down) and giving out about the state of your choppers every opportunity. Has to be a law agin that.

Had to replace 2 bulbs in the space of 5 minutes here over weekend,

Why do they always blow when it is dark.

Because you only turn them on when it's dark.

I'd love to know what you think about Gynaecologists so.

Tangled earphones....

How can they get so tangled when they've been in my pocket for less than 2 minutes?

Wearing them with work ID Lanyards is a pain in the hole as well, most days I've to untangle the two of them.

On hearing the brilliant news of a surprise pregnancy ( not under this roof thank God

) I was so distracted doing dinner that I put a lamb chop on my plate and ate it. I hate lamb, haven't touched it in years...

Trying to convince myself to exercise is so damn hard sometimes.

OldNotWIse · 04-11-2015 01:01PM

Taking what I consider to be sub-standard painkillers (solpadeine) because you don't have proper painkillers (nurofen+) to hand, and then when you have an opportunity to buy nurofen+, not being able to because you've already used up your allowed dose of codeine on the sub standard ones

What a waste.

Did the chemist give you the third degree? They usually me feel like I am trying score crystal meth or heroin.

Rocket. I hate the stuff, but these days it's impossible to get a salad without it, and it's also in sambos sometimes. Totally ruins the taste!

They always do. F*cking maddening. Even more annoying are the questions when you purchase a box of feminax alongside a box of tampons - what could they possibly be for? Or are the tampons a smokescreen? And would I be f*cking bothered?

Meanwhile outside is like something from Night of the Living Dead as the junkies who made off without consuming their methadone in front of the pharmacist attempt to trade it for blue-ies and fags.

People driving either without fog lights on when it is foggy or even better no lights on. Seriously do they not understand this is dangerous.

My Trivial Annoyance, the little f**ker who crashed into me this morning while I was waiting at the bus stop and he was cycling on the footpath. Whacked my elbow, knocked my handbag off and kept going, no wait, turned around to laugh at me and then kept going.

so now i have a big bruised sore elbow and i hate cyclists even more!!!

rainbow kirby · 04-11-2015 02:26PM

^ Nobody over the age of 10 should be allowed to cycle on the footpath. Ever. No good can come of it.

TA'd that I ate way too much at lunchtime and am now sleepy for the afternoon :pac:

Walked into bathroom this morn with socks and no shoes. Straight into a puddle from the shower.

This morning, I was watching the telly in the dark when I had to get up for something. As I started to walk, my bare left foot stubbed something in the dark, making me automatically step back...the full weight of my heel landing on my other foot, causing loads of blood flow from my big toe. (There has been a dodgy nail situation...).

I rang the doctors office once to make an appointment as I was unwell.
The receptionist asked me the following - 'Are you sick?'
No, I'm just ringing to sicken you with news of my outrageously good health.

There's nothing worse that that, when you just can't motivate yourself. You end up skipping a couple of days and then when you get back into the zone, you feel really guilty about those sessions you missed.

Got my shopping done on the way home. Had a lovely dinner and obligatory coffee and was about to start work when the batteries in my keyboard went. So I had to go all the way back to the shop again. I don't know what people in the Stix do. So sweepy now
