More classic eyebrow raising
conversations whilst drinking my beer in the Hollin Bush….
A: I got offered work in Brazil once but
I turned it down
B: What and miss the Cocoa
Cobana?
and later in the same
conversation….
A: There are a lot of slums
in Brazil.
They call them Gavelas you know.
(Favelas – good try though)

I do wonder if it’s just me
being over read in trivia or whether education has really plummeted. I watched
University Challenge last night on television. With ten minutes to go, Bangor were leading University
College, London by 100 points to zero but still
managed to lose. I felt sorry for mature student, Tomlinson, in the Bangor team for having to
put up with his other team members being so dim. I answered more questions
correctly than the lot of them, screaming the answers at the tv. Yes I know the Italian origins of the word “madrigal”,
characters in operas such as Dido, and that Triton is a moon of Neptune. So why don’t you?

I’ve been doing some long
distance training in the pool, 2km stretches, to build my endurance. I’m
disappointed that my first Aquathlon of the year in Halesowen has been
cancelled due to lack of numbers though. I may do a 10km road race instead that
day. Still no opportunity due to the snow and ice to get on my bike for a good
ride either.

Rehearsals start again
tomorrow for my contribution to the live set up of Tokyo Witch Hunt. We have a
gig at the beginning of March in Leeds and no
doubt Izzie will be plugging the album.
Better go find my guitar…and
cables… and amp and…
