Return of the Manc.

Just had a nice few days in Manc, partaking in the following activities:

  • BOOZING - though Le Trappiste was shut so it was curry, the Leigh Arms and Belge beers afterwards at Chez MWard. Most agreeable.
  • SKIING - at a real fake snow place (if you know what I mean) near Leeds.
  • LUMBERED - in a car with MWard, PT and Marie for hours following the M62 being shut.
  • ENTERTAINED - by Tenacious D at the MEN with some of the old Manc crowd and 15,000 other punters.

A class mini break. Am so looking forward to Val Thorens in Jan. Some pics below. Vids will follow when I work out how to turn 3GP files to MPEG or something.

PT defying gravity with an 'Iron Cross 720 grab' big air.
Those who think he's just lying in the snow with his legs in the air
have been fooled by a trick of the light.
Me.
MWard ripping up the slope at 175mph. Those who think
he was stationary when this picture was taken have been
fooled by the glare from the snow.
Marie just before performing a double forward
somersault with 1 1/2 twists from the stunt ramp.

Lyric corner

Have spoken to three people in the last week about this song (Stone and Peps at a poker night and MM after he caught me singing it) all of who agree that it's a class song on a class album. It's also one of my fave songs ever, easily.

I thought it was about a prostitute but I've just seen a few internet sources saying that it's about the (bloke) lead singer's then girlfriend who was at the same time seeing another girl (not JF though). This is very plausible when you read all the lyrics.

i probably shouldn't tell you this, given one of the videos is of me taking a tumble, but you don't need to convert 3gp videos to mpg or whatever if you are going to put them on youtube - it will do it for you.

you animal. now put it away.

I did actually try that thinking it might do but it didn't work. Maybe it didn't work for some other reason then. Will try again. Thanks muchly.

The lyric changed. Earlier on it was ghostbusters wasn't it?

So which one is about whores then?

And switch to beta you lazy fook.

Don't think the Ghostbusters theme tune was about prostitutes. Though I suppose 'Who you gonna call' could extend to a vice girls and it's plausible that Mr Stay Puff was involved in something sinister.

Lunt, did you get someone to lie down between your legs to take that pohoto?

If you did, it was a bit unsporting for you to grab your crotch.

Er, that might have been my camerawork. And now I think about it, those two pictures juxtaposed are very very dodgy.
And I suppose the Millward one too. Looks a little like he's snipping off a length of spine.

Dunno what Marie's laughing about.
