Teach Your Children Well
Taking this line from the old Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young number I decided to teach my teenage daughter about Rock 'n' Roll - the base root of all pop music. She likes all the guitar bands as well as some of the classic bands of the 60's and 70's; she even likes Elvis. Oh no, things have to go a bit further than that, I thought, I regaled with her various hits of the 50's. This little tune grabbed her attention:
In spite of Frankie singing like an angel, she was quite impressed with the gestures and expressions of the band. It's a great song with great lyrics. Beautifully performed.

Table Manners
I can be quite liberal when it comes to table manners. Greg Proops asked who, in private, scoops ice cream into a bowl?. I don't consider myself a prude when it comes to sex; but when the table and sex come together you have a choice - either you eat from it or you shag on it, of course some people use food as a sex aid. That's their business.
When I go into a restaurant, however, I expect a fair degree of decorum from my fellow diners - of course, this respect is reciprocated. This was not the case when I went into a Chinese Restaurant in Central London today. There was a couple in their late teens but fitted the twelve year old bill. The male of the couple was sporting a baseball cap under its peak was hanging that rather irritating lopsided fringe favoured by twelve year male old pop stars. The female was a blonde bimbo.
They pawed at each other like two dogs on heat, they exchanged bodily fluids by long wet kisses; all of this done in the middle of a restaurant where people were trying toeat. This activity was really getting on my nerves. Worse was yet to come, the lopsided fringe male had his meal to brought to him; he stopped eating mid-way, pawed at his girlfriend and wet-kissed. Bloody hell, I did not need to witness a mating while eating.
It would be a really good idea for the government to introduce legislation stopping people under the age of 25 entering restaurants unless they are accompanied by a forty year old.

There is crap on television...
...so I have taken to surfing Youtube. Here, you can search for anything you like. I came across this little video gem - it's one of those moments in amateur cinematography that produces a classic. The attempt at vandalism is serious, but watch on...
