Five Festival Farkleberries

So, good people of the internets, this Friday I am going to be getting mind-meltingly bladdered at my works night out from about lunch time today, so my comments might go downhill even more sharply than usual this afternoon. Fortunately, it won’t be the teeth-grindingly awful teambuilding nonsense implied by that picture because basically my work are a bunch of total pissants. So it will be drunken mayhem, which will be far better. We even have two new people to torment, which will be splendid. Mwaah hah haaa! Actually, we’ll probably all be far too drunk to give them a hard time, but it’s the thought that counts.
For those of you who are interested, this weekend’s plans include sorting out most of the Found Toad Session, DJing at this excellent gig on Sunday and doing the Toad Records accounting so that we can pay Meursault the vast sums of money their godlike genius requires.
Also, I may masturbate and eat some pickled onions.
Not at the same time.
Why why does it always get to past two o’clock in the morning and I am still fucking awake and doing shit? Fucking hell that’s annoying. I’m soooo sleepy too, but I just can’t seem to get to bed at a normal time, it’s ridiculous.
Mrs. Toad and I had our anniversary this week – three years. We first met in 1991, so we’ve taken our time. I celebrated by going out with my mates, getting pished and breathing beer on her at two in the morning. I’m a fucking great husband, I am. She celebrated by forgetting about it and wishing me happy anniversary this morning – a day late. So it’s safe to say we don’t take this stuff that seriously in our house. It’s still nice to think about though.
DE-LURK! Please! Honestly, the voices are starting to get to me, please jump in and say hello. Friday is de-lurking day. I promise you Chutters won’t be boorish, Dylan won’t be pretentious, DC won’t be needlessly verbose and Euan won’t be sulky. I can’t promise you Bart won’t be funny though. Five yourselves all to pieces, people.
1. Work social events – good, bad or indifferent?
2. Do you like your baths scalding, warmish or cool?
3. Have you ever heard a better dismissal of a whole musical genre than ‘ethnic sex music’?
4. Favourite kind of fruit.
5. Best ever mix tape you made.
This week’s five songs are all from a mix I made for my brother… bloody years ago, I’m not quite sure when.
