Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Ironside]

I clearly need to be more careful as to how I word Diary Posts.

Three incoming calls today & several comments on different threads, alluded to "concern" that I decided to swerve Luton tonight, after Monday night's fracas with the wasted guy, which, given I'm not working tonight, is unusual for me.

For the record, I am NOT boycotting Luton, nor am I staying away in protest. I'll be back there next week.

But I'm at the age where I only do what I want to do, & I don't want to go there tonight. I'm still stesaming about the way it was handled by the TD, & the contempt with which Richard was treated when he politely raised the matter with Callum, so if I go tonight while the red mist is still present, I'll end up having words, & I'm on a peace kick these days.

"Protest" boycotts don't work, Luton will manage just fine without me, & vice-versa. I'll be there next week, all smiles, when the mist has cleared.

But many thanks to all those who rung, & wrote. It's nothing to do with "then the eejits win if you stay away", I just don't want another night's hassle. I've exceeded my 2009 hassle quota already. I retired to get away from hassle, & I'm increasingly intolerant of it.

the real reason you aint going tonight is you want to see if you can win the RSQ

One last Luton thing - Chompy had me pissing myself with his fondness for nicks.

Referring to Sunday's wonderfully-natured £100 Final, he referred to a player with the nick of "British Gas".

Well this has me scratching my head. Who?

So I went to the blonde Results Page - thank you Dawn - and checked all the Finalists names to try & work out who "British Gas" might me.

So obvious really. The player is known as "Das". Real name, Brijesh Das.

I love Chompy. imo.

You already told me I can't win!

No, I'l spend the evening in my Heathrow Hotel, all alone - there's no hassle that way - & play Online. Got a big meet tomorrow, so the early night will suit.

I think he's the funniest man in the country which, embarrasingly, makes me gush a little when I see him in person

Prob good to let past irritations go a little quicker if you can imo

Plus you'll almost certainly get an early night still

You are not wrong, but passion is a weird, wonderful, & awful thing. Passion means it's not an "irritatiion", it's just not acceptable that the rank & file regulars have to be subjected to rank bad behaviour, while Management look on & smile. See, you've started me off again. And that's why I'm absenting myself tonight. Sometimes it's best to, it avoids saying things when "the balance of ones mind" is disturbed.

I went into town this morning (Ilkeston in Derbyshire), & picked up a flyer for a "turn" at a local night-club.

His name was Pete Tong.

I do hope his Show goes well. Imagine the headlines if it does not.

Go to work, press play on tape.

What's to go wrong?

Whooshed again, I enlisted the aid of google, to discover that Pete Tong is a "Radio 1 ". Now I understand your Post. If he's a Radio 1 , as google suggests, how come he's 49? That's not possible, surely? A at 49? Ridic.

This has to be a level?

I want to play a DVD on my lappie. I inserted it & nothing happens. Is there some button I need to press to start it?

I did the same thing a year or two back Tony, stuck a DVD in my PC and nothing happened so I asked my techy friend what the problem might be.

"Did you order a PC with a DVD player in it when you bought it?" said he. "Huh?" said I.

Well it has DVD slottage Ralph. But it don't work.

Where do you think I inserted the DVD in my PC ?

Perhaps you'd better not answer that but suffice to say mine too has slottage

Clearly, Rslph, we both suffer from the same delusion - that slottage = DVD player.

Certainly not. In what way?

[gatso]

does your slottage say 'DVD' on the end bit that you can see when the disc draw's not open?

Yes.

I think I need a new Lappie. This one's done some miles, to be fair.

It was not mine, originally. It's Password is "Sexy Bottom". It is.

It is...isn't it?  You nearly had me there.  Even Daily Mail readers know who Pete Tong is.

Tikay, I know you are quite a fan of Ryan Air, so wonder what you make of this........http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/news.php?yr=09&month=apr&story=gen-en-220409.

In these days of excess and everything has its price is this now acceptable, is it fair?

Until I saw that flyer today. I'd never heard of him. Scouts Honour.

I stopped listening to Radio 1 in about 1972. You do when you reach early adolescence.

The 's were Tony Blackburn, Dave Lee Travis, Ed Stewart & Co. We thought it was great "in the day", but it was puerile really. I'll never forgive Blacklburn for his habit of talking over intros & outros. We tuned in to listen to music, not him. Or his bloody dog. Woof-woof, ffs.
