After much deliberation I have finally managed to narrow my lengthy list of potential tracks down to the 12 that I need to completes HI’s challenge.
My all time fave was the easiest one to commit to paper, without a shadow of doubt it would have to be the best 3 minutes of pure Ray Davies brilliance “You really got me” by The Kinks. The amazing sounds of the guitars were created when Ray took to slicing the cones of his amp to produce the distorted noise.
My “sound tracks”, in no particular order are: -
1. Rebel Rebel - David Bowie
2. Blue Monday - New Order
3. Private Life - Grace Jones
4. Judith - A Perfect Circle
5. Owner of a lonely heart - Yes
6. New Year’s Day - U2
7. Being Boiled - Human League (original line up)
8. Ziggy Stardust - Bauhaus
9. Pretty vacant - Sex Pistols
10. Tainted Love - Soft Cell
The red faced, you can’t really like that do you, my God you even know all the words is Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung, which is just slightly better, by a miniscule whisker, than quoting a song by Phil Collins.
My training and diet had been going really well until I had to travel over the last week. Tonight was the first time I had eaten at home for 8 days. Which brings me to MY question for the night - why is it when you order fish when eating out they “insist” on serving it with hot chips!!! What’s wrong with these people, there is nothing wrong with steamed vegetables, but can you get anyone to cook them, not on your life.
I did manage to squeeze in a couple of runs but nothing spectacular. Never mind I did run tonight, and I will be dragging my lard arse out of bed early in the morning to ride for the first time in 10 days.
Just because they serve it with hot chips, doesn’t mean you have to eat them
Most places I’ve been recently have managed a nice salad, or some vegies with the fish …
I think we may have a couple of artists in common when I come up with my song list, but different tracks.
Can I please put my order in right now for 2 new shiny knees, and can you add some diamonds to make them look real pretty
Not sure how much further these ones are going to take me
And you’ve now made me feel very old by highlighting the fact that Beki would have only been a baby when the BCR’s were around.
And what’s this about kiddie porn??? Not sure I’ve heard that one, but to be honest, nothing would surprise me any more - I mean look at Gary Glitter
