Comments on: Top Five For Friday http://songbytoad.com/2008/09/top-five-for-friday/ Independent and alternative music in Scotland - with a shitload of gin.

Favourite sandwich: thin-sliced turkey, strong cheddar, tart granny smith on baguette, with a sloppy amount of that homemade honey mustard that you just can't find in a jar, but that is actually homemade. 2. Favourite rock (or indie) beard: Zevon 3. Favourite bullshit bingo phrase: After reading through your comments to find out what exactly you mean by "bingo phrase", I came away still unsure, so I will assume it means basically, "annoying cliche that I love to hate", therefore I submit the following: "love to hate" 4. Favourite music reviewer’s bingo phrase: see above. 5. Favourite animal that is chiefly a native of Russia (link to a picture appreciated): I have a thing for Slavic women generally. I don't mean this to denigrate Russian or Slavic women generally, nor do I want to sound like a pervert. Nor do I want to sound like a "racial determinist". But, of the women I've dated, the further East in Europe, the more beautiful, the more provocative, the more everything... (I currently adore a woman from Eastern Europe whose nationality is not Slavic/Russian, but whose last name actually means "Russian". Go figure.) Thank you, Mr Toad, for pulling me out from under my rock with your verbal inkblottia.

I'd skipped dinner and was three pints down before I got to the Village, so after presenting myself with the daunting challenge of a pint of Addlestone's Crazy CIder, I decided a chippy was required before venturing any further forward. So I went to the chip shop round the corner and ordered battered sausage and chips, but apparently the standard portion size is three - count 'em! - <i>three</i> battered sausages. I only wanted one sausage and a few chips, so I gave the leftover chips to two girls smoking fags at the door of the pub, and gave my spare battered sausages to Matthew and Euan. Mother <i>fuckin'</i> Theresa, I am. Tart, to put your mind at rest, last night’s offal ingestion featured battered sausages.
