Was going to post this earlier but the site died AGAIN!

Stood outside this afternoon having a ciggie, and I saw across the street a man in his 20's tottering along with a film crew in tow. He was dressed neck to ankle in bright pink lycra, had a blond wig on his head, a pink tutu round his waist and a paif of Fairy wings on his back.

Did I think "What the fuck is he doing?" did I think "What the fuck are they doing?" No.

I thought "Those burgundy heels reeeely clash with that pink"

I may have been working in central London too long!

I watched "The top 50 actors of all time" on More4 at the weekend, a lazy bit of telly for a lazy night on the sofa, and was struck by something rather strange.

Has anyone else noticed how much Helena Bonham-Carter and Johney Depp look alike - especially around the eyes!

Is that why Johney gets so much work from Mr Bonham-Carter (Tim Burton)?

Well OK, just travel but it got your interest eh!

Actually "Sex and travel" was what one of our old singers used to say to me when he meant "fuck off" - charmer that he was.

ANYWAY!

I have just realised that I am off to Budapest in SIX DAYS! blimey that came around a bit sharpish! What am I going to pack (not a lot - just a back pack to carry onto the plane so no fecking about waiting for suitcases at the other end) When will I get currency? Shall I do my normal trick of borrowing cash of S&F when we get there and paying them back when I find a cash machine? Well they are better organised than me so take advantage eh?

And just a week after I get back from there, I am going with S&F, Jo and Sarah up to Edinburgh to see the Moff! Just be there for a couple of nights but it will be fun.

Then the very weekend after that - tis off to Birmingham to see Padders and Bradders in the flesh as it were. Hotels sorted and vaccinations done, ready to return to the land of my mothers birth. And get drunk. a bit.
(and I am reeeeely looking forward to seeing them and anyone else who turns up!)

Busy month but it should be entertaining at the very least.
