Another "nothing" day...
Watched the X Files film. I think I must have seen the second half at some point in the past as I remembered everything from the scene where they discovered all the bees in the middle of the desert...
It was still enjoyable though...
Got a phone call from Mr Jim Park out of the blue. He'd read here about my ankle setback and came over all guilt ridden. He shouldn't though because it was a 50/50 ball and a complete accident - it could easily have been he who was laid up in his home for seven weeks (so far). He promised to come and visit me soon and bring some exotic fruit...
In the evening we watched the second of last night's episodes of "Coronation St" on Video. What a great feeling it was to see Gail's big Scots boyfriend pinning the whining little ingrate David up against the wall and giving him a good talking to. Of course that's not allowed in the real world anymore and that's why, generally, kids are so well behaved these days, showing respect to their parents etc etc...
Of course, the Scot denied everything to Gail (and she believed him, ending up hitting the boy David herself becasue of his incessant cheek and selfishness) and so the producers are lining the Scotsman up as villain of the piece and the little shit of a boy as the hard done to victim...
Coincidentally, I saw a poll on the news today, what with the Government's latest anti anti-social legislation being announced. The poll asked who was responsible for unruly behaviour by children. Unbelievably, 13% of those questioned said it was the Government's fault...
OK the top answer, at 63%, was the parents but we all know the correct outcome should surely have been 100% the parents...
Later on we watched the first of a three part documentary on Mozart on Channel Five to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth. What a genius he was...
Finished off the day transferring the last of my 200 albums of 2005 onto Jukebox and finalising the playlist which includes all those CDs – at close of play I still had three to transfer...
Highlight of the Day : A Telephone Call from Jim "Chopper" Park
