Ideal Home Show review

The show is abound with sleazy demonstrators; they say to your partner 'hello darling, has he bought you anything nice?' before blowing kisses..a less passive person would connect with the end of their face. Demonstrating does look fun; you have a crowd watching you in your element.

The set-up is impressive; there is a big boat in water. The show is a more staid affair than the beer festival here. Masterchef's Gregg Wallace 'cooking doesn't get tougher than this' no longer at the show and in his place yesterday were non descripts. What i did like were round garden seats; reminiscent of Barbarella, artificial grass though i like real grass haha, gazebos though not as good as the Gazebo bar in Kingston. There were funky fish tanks that looked like flat screen tv's; i'm told that they are unethical for fish..the glass top table tank is, funky. A wine rack shaped like a shoe, the Dukes Head pub..one of the stalls had Newquay Brown in a can, wine aerator, dreamy bubble blowing, meditation..awakening the kundalini, rubber brooms.

Better was the recording of the Album Chart Show at Koko with Kate Nash, Sophie 'Satellite face' Bextor and Scouting for Girls. Nash had a certain verbal dexterity, Ellis Bextor did the Groovejet classic..i was in Australia in 2000 when it came out; how come her mother Janet's face doesn't receive ITV4? Scouting's super, plaintive 'This ain't a love song, this is goodbye' is an Itunes no1. On the 29 bus Kurds were squaring off over smoking at the back.

The Blind Side review

Just what the world's crying out 'Lets have another American Football film'. A strident Sandra Bullock performance saves the film from obscurity. It ticks all the boxes; young, cutesy kid-check, ugly duckling boy comes good-check. The movie will neither grab you by the collars nor send you to soporific mode. The human interest angle is interesting enough to alleviate ennui..i suppose. Perfect, Tuesday lunchtime entertainment.

Slippery ipple

The glamour of the IPL (ipple) has started; Lionel Richie kept things sparkling with 'Dancing on the Ceiling'... which is 24 years old. So for the next 40 days not giving up cricket but gorging on its riches; it's on every day i think..

I will not be going to Fez, Putney tonight for 'chart fillers past and present'..too old for that; i'm not quite at the dinner and dance/ cabaret circuit. Those jokesters Kunt and the Gang are on tour again.
I didn't know chip shops did chicken in a basket.

Foxtrot Oscar?

I thought George Clooney was going to get the Best Actor Oscar; Up in the Air is terrific. And In the Loop didn't get a gong; the swearfest. The Foot Hurt Locker cleaned house.
Yesterday (Sat) enjoyed wasabi ice cream and oolong tea to alleviate the Spring cold. Japanese variation of Bloody Mary has sake. Bought Pocari Sweat from the Japan Centre. The Phoenix, Oxford Circus is great for music; including some spaced out stuff in the toilet..i'm still talking music. Talking about space in America's Strictly Come Dancing they're going to hsve Buzz Aldrin and Olympic skating champion Lysacek. We ate in Chinatown 2am.
