Uptown Girl

It's not a good thing at all when an ad for a Billy Joel Best Of.. comes on the tele and you find yourself tapping your foot and thinking "That might be a good album to buy."

Certainly it must be a CLEAR sign that you're entering the mid-30's?

(And Ainslie- NO. I don't really want you to buy me it for Xmas. Unless YOU want it for your b'day?)

Would you believe me if I told you I was in a boy band which did a hit cover of 'Uptown Girl'? Couldn't keep the screaming chicks away back then. Ahh, to be 21 again...

I heard a Billy Joel song at work recently, 'we didn't start the fire'. It made me feel uneasy.

I just ate some chocolate cake Thi made, with chocolate icing, and it was fantastic, or delectable. Chocolate icing, how excellent. I recommend that you ask Ainslie to make one.

Scott, so now that you have seen the Wonderstuff are you going to come back home, or are you waiting for Ride to reform too?

This Ainslie babe, she hassles you about being born in the 70s. I don't get it, when else could you be born?

And if Ainslie wasn't born in the 70s, when was she born? I don't know anyone born in the 80s or 90s. Is she one, or the one. What are they like? Do they watch Episode I before Episode IV, because if they did, I think it would be confusing. Do they make fun of you because you use words like radio and television? I think even your youngest brother - that tall guy with the deep voice - was born in the 70s. True?

I'm guessing that you know what baby vomit tastes like because you recently carried some in a bottle on board a flight. Apparently the security makes you drink some of whatever is in the bottle, to make sure the goo isn't a bomb. I thought you had reformed from this baby vomit drinking habit. Too bad.

Are you really getting political, or are you just pretending? I saw the war photos on your site. I revised this paragraph and deleted all the 'humour'.

I saw Hard Candy and Miami Vice, I liked Miami Vice better. That might be a 70s thing, can you check with miss 80s (90?s), please.

I saw Anna perform a cabaret last night. She rocks!

Let me know when you will next be in town, thats mainly why I am writing. That and because I wanted to say hi, and because I wanted to remind you that there were people you don't see who still think about you, you sick kid.

I seriously have to go and iron a shirt that I will wear to work tomorrow! Like a fatcat.

Cheers,

Stephen

This comment is in reply to my old and good friend Stephen. aka Stevie Wonder. aka Dr Stephen Kieth.
So I apologise to any if you're non-amused/offended by my forthcoming childish and gutter talk......


"I heard a Billy Joel song at work recently, 'we didn't start the fire'. It made me feel uneasy."

Uneasy in your pants? I think that song is political...?

"I just ate some chocolate cake Thi made, with chocolate icing, and it was fantastic, or delectable. Chocolate icing, how excellent. I recommend that you ask Ainslie to make one."

Did you like the icing because it looked like pooh?

I'm not saying that Thi is a bad baker- on the contrary- I've sampled her cooking before and she knows her stuff. I remember when she was showing us to make an omellette. She had to restrain our impatient selves from flipping it over too early.
I don't get my girlfriend to bake me cakes, Stephen. I have flat-mates for THAT!

"Scott, so now that you have seen the Wonderstuff are you going to come back home, or are you waiting for Ride to reform too?"

RIDE can't be far behind. They MUST be able to taste those comeback dollars?!
I'll come back home when CALIGULA reform! (although I think Bertie told me that they have!? Can you confirm or deny?)

"This Ainslie babe, she hassles you about being born in the 70s. I don't get it, when else could you be born?"

Well, she could be born in the 80's. That would all be legal. To a point.
Or she could've been born in the 50's.

Hows your mum going?
She still a hottie?
Tell her I say "Hi".

"And if Ainslie wasn't born in the 70s, when was she born? I don't know anyone born in the 80s or 90s. Is she one, or the one. What are they like?"

Don't worry- I am obeying the rules of the Street (and that of Islam) when it comes to dating age. Half YOUR age and plus 7. That is the absolute youngest you should date- and we are well within safe distance there!


"Do they watch Episode I before Episode IV, because if they did, I think it would be confusing."

Funny you should mention that- we were talking about it on the weekend. Ainslie hasn't seen any of the 1st ones, and I am a bit reluctant to make her watch them. She will do doubt GET so many referances and jokes, but she will also no doubt scratch her head and wonder WHY the world is so obsessed with such CRAPPY movies! (except Empire Strikes Back!)

I remember once Stevie, you told me that Star Wars makes you excited in your pants. FACT!

"Do they make fun of you because you use words like radio and television?"

I had to draw a stereo recently and I was told to change it. I'd drawn an old skool ghetto-blaster with a tape deck. I had to get rid of the tape deck and put a cd-player and a more streamline/Apple design....


"I think even your youngest brother - that tall guy with the deep voice - was born in the 70s. True?"

Not true. I'm not sure which of my brothers you mean, as they're both incredibly tall and speak in deep grunts.
Are you talking about the one you gay-love? The one you're always flirting with when you come over?
Either way- they were both born in the 80's.
1980 and 1984.

You want me to say "Hi" to him from you?

"I'm guessing that you know what baby vomit tastes like because you recently carried some in a bottle on board a flight. Apparently the security makes you drink some of whatever is in the bottle, to make sure the goo isn't a bomb. I thought you had reformed from this baby vomit drinking habit. Too bad."

I have no come back for this. I could go into a rant about the stupid security measures... but I won't.

"Are you really getting political, or are you just pretending? I saw the war photos on your site. I revised this paragraph and deleted all the 'humour'."

I wasn't really getting political. I didn't mention any politics or who was responsible or why. I just mentioned some facts.
FACTS about how many HUMANS have been killed on both sides.
FACTS.
Like the time you told me chocolate makes you excited in your pants! FACT!

"I saw Hard Candy and Miami Vice, I liked Miami Vice better. That might be a 70s thing, can you check with miss 80s (90?s), please."

Miami Vice was in the 80's. I haven't seen the movie yet. I don't know what Hard Candy is.

"I saw Anna perform a cabaret last night. She rocks!"

Cool! She does rock! How are they going?

"Let me know when you will next be in town, thats mainly why I am writing. That and because I wanted to say hi, and because I wanted to remind you that there were people you don't see who still think about you, you sick kid."

Awww.. thanks! I'll be landing in melbourne on the 1st of November. Then a week later I'll be in Hobart for 1-2 weeks. Then I will be in Sydney. Probally around mid-November.
Will you be there then?
Drop me an email! I still have the same old hotmail address!

"I seriously have to go and iron a shirt that I will wear to work tomorrow! Like a fatcat."

Go brother. Go and work for The Man!
Remember- it's not a crime to sell out if you get paid well!


PEACE OUT!
