Well, I never did say this blogging thing would be a regular occurance, but with a little prodding from Jula, I'm baaaaack!
So, my reason for lack of posts is that I'm in the throes of buying a house........ My first home...... Which is supposed to be all exciting and start of a new era etc etc.........
This has not been the case... Before I go into it, I have a terrible record with luck where finance is concerned....... Not because I'm particularly dodgy (though I do have my moments!) but it seems more just because I'm one of those lucky people who finds that if anything can go wrong at the worst possible moment, it certainly will..........
I can tell lots of stories about finance brokers who've blown sunshine up my arse about how everything is fine/approved etc etc until the point where I go and sign a contract, AND THEN.... LO and Behold........ "No sorry, we can't assist you with finance at this time, Have a nice life"
So, knowing my propensity for finance fuckups, I was somewhat sceptical about my finance broker telling me everything was fine, that I had conditional approval yada yada, and I mentioned to her that I was waiting for it to go pear shaped, as prior experience led me to anticipate....... And so it did....... Two days before the house was to go unconditional........ Oh fuck me, if anyone has been through this sort of thing, you'll know the head exploding (almost!) blood pressure rise you immediately get........
I was in the car at the time, and had visions of the authorities finding my car and believing that a particularly vicious slasher was at large in the big city, what with all the arterial blood spray that I envisiged gushing out of my burst jugular vein..... (I say jugular because I don't quite know what the vein in your temple that pulsates at such moments is actually called) You know, all CSI like, with old mate frowning and spouting something particularly smarmy/humourous as he bends down to survey the grisly scene of my car interior...........
Anyhoo, i'll cut a very long (it seems to be going on far too long to put all the angst in...)
story a bit shorter, I've reapplied with another finance company that I've never heard of (which I'm actually very happy with) the more dodgy and desperate for business they are, hopefully the more they will want to bleed me like a succubus for the next twenty five or thirty years.......
So I have another conditional approval, an extension on the finance clause in the contract, and that pulsating vein (in my forehead........ Don't be sick.....) has visibly reduced........... Having said that, I still feel like even in a sedentary state my heart is racing at a rate I'm not sure is a good thing........... Anyhoo......
I'll let you know how it goes.......... If there's no more posts, start checking the newspapers for the abovementioned scenario........

French and Saunders Kill Bill Parody
This is actually pretty good! I'm not a great fan of French and Saunders unless its in the form of Ab Fab, but have a gander...

Cher, Bette Midler & Elton John - Medley
This is hilarious......
It's hard to tell who is trying the hardest to out do everyone else!!! The out of sync audio just helps the effect I think.....
Cher is giving it her all in the slashed dress stakes, but Bette's got that going on AND a BIG rack to back it up! Whooooo hooooooo.......

Bette Midler - Stay with me
Ok, so it seems it's Bette night....
This is my most favourite Bette song of all time. The best version of it too, taken from the movie "The Rose", so you have to forgive her the look.... She was supposed to be a drug fucked alcoholic nymphomanic in the role.....

Bette Midler - My Knight In Black Leather
Oh Bette......
For those of you who don't know, Bette Midler is my favouritist singer in the whole wide world. So, I really can't believe she would lower herself to mime.....
Shame Shame Shame....
Love her to bits still though (and how fabulous is this song anyway????)

K-Fed Rocks the Teen Choice Awards
Can you believe this usless piece of shit?? I know ol' Britters isn't possessed of the greatest brains, but for fucks sake...... The fuckwit isn't even singing much!!! Was really hoping the crowd might rend him limb from limb when he climbed down off the stage......
Here's hoping someone tears him apart next time, hopefully.....

Undies on the Outside
I've been invited to a "Undies on the Outside" party in a couple of weeks, and am trawling for ideas for what I can wear...... Usually I don't have any trouble whatsoever with costume parties, but this one has me a trifle stumped, probably because of the lack of scope.......
Anyone??

This is one of my most favourite sites..... http://gofugyourself.com
It never fails to amuse me, mainly because of the sometimes downright viciousness of the commentators... You too will love it!
Wondering if they are needing new staff..... I'm sure I could think up something appropriately nasty to describe some of the abortions celebrities clad themselves in....
Tell me what you think......

Well, here we go! The whole blogging thing may be a passing fad, and I'm not too sure just how long it will last, but you never know.....
So I'll endeavour to trawl about for something to post that may incite some sort of response........
