What's with the new name, Bing?

 

This rain is simply defying the forecast now. There wasn't supposed to be any for several days. I know it is only rain, but remember the little animals, the birds, the homeless, and ordinary people who want to ride their bloody motorbikes in the dry..!

 

Bing & Bowie. Magnificent.

 

Ba rumpa pom pom..!

That was toe curlingly embarrassing. I liked them both, but together..? They weren't even the sum of their parts.

 

Bowie & Arcade Fire, on the other hand...

 

I didn't even like Bowie and Jagger. Mainly because I've never liked The Rolling Stones, but once again, less than the sum of their parts.

Bowie is better on his own because although he tends to overshadow the person he is with, showing up their own relative lack of talent. They in turn make him less than he would otherwise be. The only singer-songwriter I would have really liked to have seen him with would have been Lou Reed.

 

Oh no, a 9am lecture? However will you manage!

 

Sounds awful. Reminds me of my Environment degree. 5 full days a week of lectures and stacks of homwork and essays. For 4 bloody years. No wonder I never wanted to have anything to do with the bloody environment after that. After recovering for about 10 years I was ready to face it again. Spent most of my time teaching Apple illiterate people the twisted logic of the IOS. The other half the complete computer illiterate how to operate both Windows and IOS. No wonder I was tired the entire time. What's even more galling is that think they got better passes than me.

 

Hats off to you Bing, that's great. Now for it to really work, every post has to be chandler esque in its style. Can you imagine some posters who haven't seen this when you reply..... "Could you be anymore wrong"

 

Could it BE any more dark outside?

 

And yet the environment is still beating you... Just with a little rain

 

7:30 post!??? Blimey I can't recall seeing a post if yours at this hour.

Ps. Is Dan a dinosaur geek useless with women?

 

Yeah but he somehow gets Jen Aniston in her prime.

 

Oh crikey, yes. Quick we need to scrub these posts, he'll be unbearable.

I met him once. Trying to remember if he had too much gel on?

 

Ha ha, just thought. Godders can be the old bloke from downstairs!!

 

No gel.

 

Duh yeah that's obviously the main point rather than the fact I have no time to do anything but eat in 13 hours.

I'll take one full day over five full days, I'd be gone by the end of the first year if I had four years of it.

 

one of the "Pompey" posters is the blonde guy who runs the coffee shop. I don't remember which one, the one with girl troubles.

 

I have been watching the Inbetweeners , so Cringe Worthy !!!!!!

But funny .

 

When you've watched all the TV shows, watch the film. Brilliant.
