I’ve crawled to the PC to post the playlist. I’m not well but can’t decide if it was the champagne, Budvar, Drambuie or After Eight cocktails that are to blame.

Anyway, here’s the playlist. Thanks for your suggestions.

Adding some Abba, some Jamiroquai, and heading back into 70s disco I think. Thanks for the suggestions so far but I need more!!

bookmark_borderHelp!

“So see you at about 6.30? Ohh and can you bring the iPod and some party music.. thanks, bye!”

So I need Party Music – gimme your suggestions – dance, hip hop, disco, pop, rock, etc etc – anything and everything.

I’ll post the playlist once it’s done (tomorrow probably), at the moment it varies from Aretha Franklin to Deelite to Faithless to Dirty Vegas to Jacksons to Scissor Sisters to Sugababes to Crystal Waters … current chart stuff I can manage, but what about all those great tracks from past discos – inspire me!!

I should point out that I am working today, and will be working on Monday as well. We don’t get public holidays but do get a few extra days allowance to compensate. I don’t mind this arrangement, to be honest, as it means I don’t have to sit in Bank Holiday traffic. It does mean that I get calls from my wife, how does get public holidays, telling me that she’s been slounging on the sofa watching movies all morning and will probably do the same this afternoon. PPfffffttttt.

Of course I’m not sure why we even have these holidays anymore, after all it’s a religious thing, right? Easter I mean.

Now there’s a question: what would the world be like if religion didn’t exist? Ha! Answer that.

I’ll ponder that this afternoon whilst I nurse the remnants of my hangover.

“Make mine a Guinness” (x9)

Ma heid’s loupin the day. Fair blootert so I wiz. Hope I dinnae boak.

For the foreigners in our midst I suggest the Scottish Vernacular Dictionary may help decipher. And for those wanting to explore the uniqueness of the Glasgow parlance, may I recommend Wir Ain Leid – Glasgow Scots a fascinating, and very technical, article which should help with your pronunciation of some wonderful Glesga words.

The latter link also gives an insight into why (previously) call centres flourished in Scotland. All to do with proper and correct pronunciation darlings.

(Darlings? WTF? I’m turning into Peter!)

Spot of shopping at lunch time. Spotted this URL on a fly-poster – you know, the ones bands and clubs use and get posted on boarded up windows and doors – www.flypost.it. Describes itself as ‘Guerilla Marketing’. And I thought fly-posting was illegal. Hmmm.

Also spotted was that Scottish designer bloke aff the telly. You know, the one with the blonde hair.. I think he’s gay… appears with another bloke (his partner?) on these makeover shows… ach you know who I mean. And no I can’t be bothered Googling for him.

And lastly a minor observation and subject of frequent discussion in the pub.

Why do women wear low cut tops then get pissed off when men glance* at their chests.

* Some men can glance ya know. It’s true. Personally I prefer a good ogle but hey… you probably guessed that already 😉
