Icy. Didn't a sleep a wink with it the night before last - I kept waking up.

And my car wouldn't start and was covered in ice. This necessitated the purchase of a squeegee and a chamois leather - of course now I own these things, it wasn't icy this morning. Bah.

Southern nancies. This is warm by Northern standards.

Me off to hunt in woods now. Bring meat back to cave. Me strong, like bull.

That word always reminds me of Bill Hicks... squeegeeing his third eye and all that...

I prefer "chamois". Sounds like it should be French for "tiny lace undergarment", not "flabby rag for cleaning windscreen".

I think "chamois" and "squeegee" are super words.

It was almost worth buying them just to get to say them. Indeed, saying their names is the only practical use I've had out of them so far.

Oh, and I'm fair-to-middling in an oh so very british "alright I s'pose" frame of mind.

Haven't seen enough cans recently. Weather's quite bracing actually, all dramatic n' shit.

Indeed - in between being sucker-punched by furious motorists...

Actually, someone attempted to squeegee and chamois my chariot in Manchester (I'd never seen people doing that before in Manchester, it must be a new thing) and I was fairly new at driving and nearly accidentally ran over them.

This put them off, somewhat.

Is "cans" the new slang for "Bill Duke movies"? Because if so, I concur.

Too bad it's only French for "stinky goat-like mountain animal" then.

Not Bill Duke movies, Bo Duke movies. John "Smallville" Schneider's not been in anything meaningful on the big screen since Snow Day and it incurs my wrath.

Funnily enough, here in sunny old Cardiff there seems to be a turf war of sorts between the Pikeys and Romanians over who gets to clean your windscreen.

BTW - Hello all Uk chewers!

Greetings, Venkman!

I just thought I'd randomly throw some Bill Duke quotes into the mix:

'You're ghostin' us, motherfucker.'

'I'll bleed ya, real quiet.'

'You scared motherfucker? Well you should be because this green beret is going to kick your ass. '

'Fuck you asshole.'

Um, if I say, "I have no idea who you're talking about." will you guys all pile on top of me and beat the crap out of me?

Your response has a direct bearing on whether or not I decide to ask who this guy is.

We may flick chewed-up bits of paper at you. And possibly hide your pencil case in Spacky Tim's schoolbag, and make you kiss him to get it back.

Sally Barnes is a slag and the school bicycle.

And she copied my make-up that night from the disco at the youth club last week.

So nyeah, you divvy!

Here's your bestest boyfriend <a href="http://www.brillianttv.co.uk/timmymallett/images/timmysessionsept20021a.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>. You did it with him, behind the back of the Spar. And everyone knows you did, because he got Daz to sniff his fingers afterwards and he said they smelled of SEX.

No, *you* did it with him behind the Spar. And everybody knows you did because you're the biggest puff on CHUD.

And then you did it with Daz the Spaz, who's a virgin and wouldn't know what sex smelled like.

You're disgusting. And a menk.

And your Mum got caught robbing vodka out of that Spar, anyway. That's what Tez Murphy said.

In other news, I'm definitely down London way next Tuesday night, if anyone fancies doing some kind of food/movie/booze combination.

As a sweetener, I'll bring cans of Quatro, a Wham bar and a mucky mag that I found in a hedge at the park. You get to see everything.

I'm free on Tuesday - the 28th mind, not the next one which I'll be spending in Scotland where I expect it to be even fucking colder than it is here, and I'm paid, so yay!

What film do folks fancy?

I think a more pertinent question should be: where do we do dis thing? I'm staying near Earls Court (lucky me) so I'll defer to London folk as to the best location for decent scran and drink, with a decent cinema being a bonus.

Although I quite fancy the new Texas Chainsaw. It'll have to be something my wife doesn't want to see, or I'll be in trouble.

Earl's Court - ah! The wonder that is the Piccadilly line!

Scran might be nice. Providing it is nice scran. And they give you booze, too.

Is TCM out tomorrow. That would be swell. Failing that, Intolerable Crulety's out or Raising Arizona is playing at the Prince Charles in L Sq @ 6.30pm.

Intolerable Cruelty is excellent. Saw it at one of those advance previews last weekend. I could certainly stand to see it again, although I'd also hate to pass up what could be my only chance to see TCM, given that the chances of seeing that with the lady wife are less than zero.

Filigree is word of the day. It was almost hullaballoo. But sadly, that word is bridesmaid today.

I have love for hullaballoo, more so if I could actually spell it.

So, ROTK game - any good? Bearing in mind I was kind of "meh" about TTT.

Can I be a hobbit in it? Or Gandalf?
