Tottenhamista!: January 2013
http://tottenhamista.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Wednesday, 30 January 2013. And Now, Some Music. Thanks to this fella. Who is Canadian and who did one of those 'Best of last year' lists, I discovered these,. Who are Canadian also. I rather like it, despite there being several reasons - the Tom Waits soundalikee air to it, the fey female vocal that sounds destined for a mobile phone advert - not to. But, y'know, that's me. I'd also recommend the live version. In which Leah Fay is covered in. something. I shall talk abo...

Tottenhamista!: April 2013
http://tottenhamista.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Monday, 8 April 2013. Buddy Rich died in April 1987, a marvellous drummer. But allegedly a demanding, short-tempered, bullying man. There’s a story that goes round musician circles – I’m almost certain I heard it on Parkinson. 8211; that just after Rich died, his widow took a phone call at home. 8220;May I speak to Buddy Rich? 8221; the caller asked. 8220;I’m sorry,” she replied. “Buddy Rich is dead.”. 8220;Oh, I see.’. Ten minutes later, the phone rang again. One boroug...

Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Sunday, 29 April 2012. Senior Moment (First in a Continuing Series). Not cycled much in the last few weeks, mainly owing to. Laziness/weather /recalcitrance combo; glued to sofa, watching snooker, eating muesli. Did go out, one time. Got rained on, heavily. Thorn twig, got double puncture. Went to Halfords, bought new inner tubes; upmarket, latex-filled, self-repairing jobs. Best part of twenty quid for pair. Buttoning coat against cold/wind, made automatic left-buttock-...

Tottenhamista!: May 2012
http://tottenhamista.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Monday, 21 May 2012. Alas, We Hardly Knew You. DP’s cat died. The vet asked if she wanted to take the body home for burial. DP decided she didn’t want the extra emotional stress, and the vet said that was fine, many people chose that option, and would she like the ashes after cremation? DP said no again, and went home, and had a little cry. So she phoned the vet. Had they actually cremated the cat? Good Could she possibly have her back? And so DP came home with her late ...

Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Wednesday, 15 May 2013. If I Ran Television (1). The Apprentice: series nine, programme one. A cold morning, Tilbury docks. Ten idiots are divided into two equal teams. Each team stands in front of a large shipping container. Lord Sugar strides towards them. Your first task", he barks, "is inside these.". A crane picks up each of the containers. The camera pulls back as the containers are swung out over the river, then dropped into the waters below. You May Also Like.

Tottenhamista!: June 2012
http://tottenhamista.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Friday, 22 June 2012. THE WEEKEND REVIEW: FOOD. It’s been called the most exciting place to eat in London ever. Sabina Legge hunkers down at Southbank’s most daring new eatery. Less than two years ago, Michael Sykes had it all; after apprenticing under some of the world’s greatest chefs, he’d taken them on and, it seemed, beaten them at their own game. His own Sykes@. When word emerged that Sykes was not only cooking again, but had re-invented the entire concept of dinin...

Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Friday, 17 August 2012. She Is. Still. It may be coming out on DVD, provided sufficient people sign up. Friday, August 17, 2012. Sunday, 12 August 2012. How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Modern Pentathlon. So how is it that this afternoon, as I write this, I have one eye on a woman riding a horse – admittedly a fine-looking horse – around a course in Horse Guards Parade? I want to see more of human beings being the best that human beings can be. And more: these...

Sine ira et studio (yeah, right). Wednesday, 15 May 2013. If I Ran Television (2). Vicious: series one, programme six. Derek Jacobi and Sir Frances De La Tour sit on an ornate sofa. They each hold this episode's script. De La Tour: I'm going to ACT the fuck out of this. Jacobi: I'm going to act the fuck out of THIS. McKellen: I'M going to ACT the FUCK out of THIS! The audience applauds wildly. He opens a bottle of Nembutal, swallows them all, and lays down in front of the corpses. Wednesday, May 15, 2013.
