Only in Japan no.795

Still, it's always nice to have someone adjudicate with regard to your job title if you're not sure.

I didn't know B&Q had started to sell books?

First Gig of the New Year

Actually, it's the second gig 'cos we went to see the Scissor Sisters last Thursday (who were 'fabulous' btw) but they don't count 'cos it was a) at the airport and b) see a.

Missed the opening act due to an over enthusiastic cab driver who was convinced that the Central Harbour tunnel was the quickest way to get to HITEC. (Fact: It wasn't quickest when there was a bloody airport just around the corner and it still bloody well isn't now, knobhead.)

Needless to say, the delay also meant being unable to stock up on beers from the G/F 7-11 as the fridges had been stripped of anything cold by then. This means having to deal with the outrageous bar. $50 for a can of Carlsberg. People's Party, has Clockenflap taught you nothing?

Any road, beer finally in hand on come The Jezabels who calmed things down with a healthy set of rocking tunes followed by the dulcit groovy vibes from The Naked and Famous. Top quality entertainment on a Tuesday night and no mistake.

Sadly, what with it being a school night and me actually living on an island that I had to access by yet another island, Metronomy was bailled upon (but having seen them in 2011 it wasn't a massive hardship.)

Keep up the good work Justin. We, the People in Hong Kong need you to continue to fill our musical void. Just sort the beer out, eh?

HIStory

Now that he's been sentenced, the tape of the 911 call made by Michael Jackson's doctor can finally be released.

Text is as follows :

Dr Murray: "I need help. Michael's collapsed."

Operator: "Have you started CPR?"

Dr Murray: "No!"

Operator: "Have you started a defibrillator?"

Dr. Murray: "No!"

Operator: "Well you wanna be starting something. You got to be starting something."

The Mediterranean Fall

Some years ago a small rural town in Spain twinned with a similar town in Greece.

The Mayor of the Greek town visited the Spanish town. When he saw the palatial mansion belonging to the Spanish mayor he wondered how he could afford such a house.

The Spaniard said; "You see that bridge over there? The EU gave us a grant to build a two-lane bridge, but by building a single lane bridge with traffic lights at either end this house could be built".

The following year the Spaniard visited the Greek town. He was simply amazed at the Greek Mayor's house, gold taps, marble floors, it was marvellous.

When he asked how this could be afforded the Greek said; "You see that bridge over there?"

The Spaniard replied; "No?"
