Talks to himself. At the back. At the top.

Quite so. (It seems somewhat redundant to muse on how much of rock&roll is not behaving in a tedious and childish manner, but in doing exactly what you can get away with and no more than that. In the words of the great Dr. HST - don't piss off the help. i.e. - Motley Crue got away with it because it was great theatre and sold an arseload of records. Anyone else will get locked in a rubber room and have white-coated people peer at them through the slit in the door for the rest of their unfortunate lives. Zeppelin got away with freestyle hotel-trashing because Peter Grant followed in the trail of carnage with a fistful of twenty pound notes.)

On Wednesday, I have an appointment to be viewed by a consultant ornithologist. I'm not entirely sure that it would be seen as cricket to pitch up on a bicycle. While I've rarely troubled the NHS thus far, I'm not sure I'm in enough credit to seem to take the piss like that. Your thoughts are, as always, most welcome.

Nice new icon, I love your profile.

An ornithologist? Don't they study birds?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Ta very much. It does rather settle the matter of unfounded nose paranoia, doesn't it?

In the midst of a screaming migraine, 'Orthopaedist' came out as 'Ornithologist'. I rather liked the brain-chemistry derived malapropism, so kept it as an example of the way my brain malfunctions sometimes.

I'm glad that your life appears to be calming down somewhat. You're right though - that DB has to go.

I second the new icon...and was about to ask the same question about why you were visiting a bird-guy.


Hope all goes well for you! Sorry that we're not going to see you at C10!

Thank you. I rather like the way the icon still manages to keep the depth of focus across the football ground so you can see the JW's temple/hall/pit of brimstone and damnation.

I rather hope it goes well, too. I've been reading of your athletic triumphs and cursing my own inability to stay on a bike for these past several months. I've just now got back into the gym and I've a lot of ground to make up. On the other hand - bike to work and back with a detour round the hospital grounds (so I know where I'm going on Wednesday) and nary a twinge from the relevant buggered ankle - got to be a good sign.

[grin] Yeah - you can get away with acting like a world-famous rock'n'roll star only when you are already a world-famous rock'n'roll star - and even then you've got have the chutzpah and finances to back it up (or be an LA bar band ... cf Motley Crue. Being Fred Durst, meanwhile, will just mean that people think you're a pillock.

(Nice goggles and shades combo, btw)

Ta. I suspect it's somewhat Prof. Branestawm gone steampunk, but it worked for me.

[grin] I think you're short about three pairs of glasses, and I can't see a Colonel anywhere around - or Mrs Flitwick ...

Those acting like rock stars were (mostly) not even musicians. They just thought they were special simply by wearing a piece of plastic around their necks on a string.

Ewwww!

wearing a piece of plastic around their necks on a string

Of course, if they really were special, it would have been hanging off their belt, with the maglite and Leatherman tool ... [grin]
