We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat


I watched Jaws last weekend and dreamed of sharks.

That's a little fucked up when you live on a boat.

I also saw a sighted person bump into a blind guy at Waterloo.

That tickled me.

Will It All Be Better In A Year?

So I had this idea for a movie recently. Set in the near future the world has been devastated by religious conflict, millions of people are dying in an unending succession of wars and terrorist attacks on all sides. The sons of Abraham are lined up along some Middle Eastern desert facing each other with their arsenals of global annihilation. This is the last battle of mankind: Christians, Muslims, Jews all waiting to stamp their mark upon the last page of the history book. Not even Bruce Willis and an Aerosmith soundtrack is going to save the world this time.

And then just as the whistle is about to blow on 200 000 odd years of unruly homo sapien behaviour a trumpet sounds from the hills and out of the sunrise an army of Buddhist monks charge down to twat the living shit out of the war machines and teach the fleeing armies a lesson in arsekicking in the name of peace. We all live happily ever after.

It's kind of Fearless meets All Quiet On The Western Front with possibly just a touch of Dodgeball thrown in for the kids. Could work, I dunno, whadda ya think?

What The World Needs Now, Are Some New Words Of Wisdom... Like La La La La La La La La La

I've had a couple of gentle digs this week about my sudden slide off field this year. And fair play too. So I'll say this as a parting shot on the proceedings. Sometimes I guess you have to crawl alone through the dark places to get to the better ones beyond. You have to defeat the demons and ogres first before you can earn the right to kiss the princess and find the treasure.

Stolen Moments And Tender Kisses


First fire of winter: watching the kindling catch and the flames dance again for the first time in almost eight months. Slowly the coal softens into glowing embers as pine cones burn white hot and smoke crawls from the chimney into the night sky.
