A Storm, Some Pervy Weather...And Some Mice

Slinx is a very dangerous girl. I met her on Friday evening having a few drinks with her work colleagues. Within an hour she had them knocking back rounds of Tequila Slammers at La Perla. Bear in mind this was only 8.15. Protesting did no good. As soon as she had led her work mates on the road to an early collapse we left. As we left she smiled to herself saying "My work here is done" We, sensibly tripped off to the Theatre.

We went to see a one man play about the Snooker playing self-destructor Alex Higgins. The performance is one hour long and Alex is portrayed by Richard Dormer who, with his wife, choreographed this wonderful show.

It's powerful, humorous at times and enthralling. If you ever watched Alex Higgins play or heard talk of him you will be transfixed. Mr Dormer has created a masterpiece. If you never knew who Alex was and perhaps couldnt care a stuff about Snooker you will still be amazed at the story and the portrayal. With that energy, no wonder he won a stage best actor award.

I hear that Richard is only playing this until February 6th before the show goes to various venues here and around the world. After this, he has said, he will not be playing Alex any more. He says its too grueling and completely exhausting.

I don't doubt it.

Buy, beg or steal to go and see it. If you can get a ticket that is.

After that we went out and got very, very drunk.

Watched on DVD:- Mmmmm. I recommend this film highly. Watch it with someone you are comfortable sitting next to and not (for instance) your Mum. I bet your Mum (or Dad) would rather watch it without you as I'm sure they would enjoy it. Sweet, sexual and dark, its rather enjoyable. A love story with charming fetish corkscrewed throughout. Perfect for a Sunday evening, a bottle of red and naughty company.

The review I have linked to captures it better than I have time to do...But don't be put off. I don't know anybody that woudn't find it positively enjoyable.

Buy or rent now. Oh and eat with ice cream.

Life is always stranger...

A good friend of mine has a friend. Now (you might say) that's not unusual. Her friend has a husband which is also not unusual. The thing is that her friends husband likes to dress occasionally in women's clothes, and also, serve.

Its not a new, sudden thing you understand. Apparently he always has, and my friends friend doesn't really mind because that's as far as he wants to take it. Almost.

He has asked my friend whether she would mind very much if she arrives home one evening after a hard day at work to find him dressed in a maids outfit. He will then cook her dinner, serve it to her, wash up, run her a scented bath and then leave.

My friend deserves to to be pampered without the usual pressure to reciprocate. My friends, friend would like a break so that when her husband is at home he plays like a man, and the husband wants to feel whatever it is that from time to time he would like to feel. I think, having been around a bit that they all will be happy. I hope that I'm not wrong.. I will keep you informed.

Do you think that they are playing with fire?

I wonder if the husband is the Bag Man?

Bag Man

I have new theory about the Bag Man.

I think he is really a modern day Pied Piper. I believe that late at night when London sleeps he whistles on his flute and skips between tube stations. As he plays, the underground Oliver Twist mice come to the surface and follow him, dancing.

From Liverpool Street to Earls Court they scurry the gutters with their smiles and shaggy coats and they clean the streets of detrius. If you are very late you may see them, I have...

The Mice Sing This!

Thank you to the search meister himself jonathan@sirtis.org.uk This is a man who knows the Interweb better than I know my own home... Hang on where am I again?

In reality of course the Bag Man is probably a right bastard who crushes small mammals for fun. What do I know eh?

Cocktail for the month of February

I'm late with this. Sorry teeming fans!

Its a short month, so...

This is a short cocktail

Sidecar (A 1920's classic)

You will need

Brandy
Triple Sec (Cointreau)
A Fresh Lemon
Ice
Cocktail Shaker
Somewhere to collapse

Hum the Dambusters theme whilst making this. Or have some one nearby to spank, for fun whilst mixing.

Place ice in the shaker
Add one quantity of brandy
Add one equal quantity of Triple Sec
Add the juice of a quarter to a third of a lemon

Shake hard for a while and serve into cocktail glasses.

Voila.

Be very, very careful with this. Do not attempt to be suave after a couple of these. Just face the fact that they damage you. Perhaps even permanently. They were built of sterner stuff back then.

The Gardener recommends that you take the bus or just sleep.

Has anyone noticed that Johnny Rotten is looking more and more like Darth Maul every day?

Is it just me?
