Record Influx of Students Brings the City to Life

I went to see The Research last night with the Private Investigator. They are so funny, they have a hot chick on bass and a foxy lass on the drums. They have lyrics like "I love you but i'm scared i'll fuck it up" and the support (The Wombats) sing this things like "i guess i just miss my metro". Anyway, this story is not about the band(s).
The students are back in town. So me and the PI played how many accents can you pull in the night. A new game to me but so much fun. Where has this game been all my life? The PI score a respectable three. He claimed Scouse and Wirral accents were different but I was having none of that. They sounded the same. My score was ...
My score is another story for another time.
The academic year is going to be a lot of fun.

Public Urged to Dress Appropriately as Temperatures Soar

I have told myself that i need to cook proper food and to cut back on all the processed stuff I have been eating. The soft spot for ice cream has to stop. Mint and choc Chip. Yum.
Anyway, I have found myself spending more time indoors so I cracked open my OC box set while I cook. I love it, just like Dallas (so I am told) but with kids, a better set and proper dialogue. And with added Ryans fancy peice. The red head with the nice...
Anyway, have you notcie how they dress. The sky is blue, its California but today one of the kids had three layers on. For crying out loud I only wear three layers when I am in the snow.
Why is there no sweat dripping off their foreheads?
Is that why they are all skinny?
What will they wear when it really gets cold. Or when they go to Aspen to ski?
Its too much. I have had enough of this staying in nonsense.

95% of Liverpool Men Lack Etiquette: Shock Survey Results

A mates 21 year old sister was staying over this week. She was doing a weeks work experience in the city and since I live in the city she crashed with me. It made sense. The Editor rang before her arrival to explain the (many) rules and no go areas re friends younger sisters but I knew all about that. Honest.
We did fun things like watch the Blues Brothers and I got an education in blues music. John Coltrane is very good. Or so she said. Still dont quite get it.
We went to gigs.
We went to bars on school nights and stayed up late eating freshly made chocolate brownies.
The week went well but I learnt some things about living with a women.
1) Dont ask her to sleep on the sofa (two seater). It will make her grumpy
2) Dont comment on they way she look (scary by the way) when she has just woken up cos she will be grumpy
3) Dont tell her she can share a bed with you if the sofa is too small beacuse she is grumpy.
She is off home tomorrow and I am off on holiday.
