Another great US series

Flight of the Conchords starts on BBC4 at 9.30pm on Tuesday. Fantastic comedy with brilliant music.

The series has just finished in the States, every episode is great. You can do YouTube searches on them, I’m not posting links as I suspect they’ll be removed soon, only to be reposted.

OK, here’s a YouTube link to one song If that’s what you’re in to

Remember, I am the man who told you about Dexter, the most watched satellite/cable TV show in the UK, even though it’s on FX, so my credentials are pretty much faultless.

Leeds fans

I spent an enjoyable afternoon with Super Dave in the pub. We lost but seem to be in the same situation as before so that’s good.

Leeds won, again, but due to their lenient sentence [it should have been 50 points] are still only one point off the bottom.

Dave… we are top of the league, I say we are top of the league.

I’m a very happy bunny

I really would have taken a point from today’s game but we got all three points, leaving us three points clear at the top and, more importantly, six points clear of third place.

A super happy bunny is in residence at OrientFan towers.

How long this is worth looking at is anyone’s guess but it gives me an EXTREMELY warm fuzzy feeling inside, it’s like sex but in league table format!

By the way, I’ve fallen off the no-smoking wagon. My fault. I am an idiot. 1st October is my new date for giving it a go. I can not do this without visible tangible reasons, and this date provides them. Feel free to give me grief about it if you have given up smoking, if you have not been a smoker then I respectfully ask you to keep your thoughts to yourself [read “Shut the fuck up”].

419 Eating

I’ve offered to be a mentor if you want to bait, and you DO want to do this.

Until 419 Eater is back up email me at orientfan@idontlikespam.gmail.com and I’ll help you in your first few baits. It’s easy, give it a go! [remove the idontlikespam. ]

Giving up smoking

Firstly an apology for the time it has taken to update my blog, needed a new screen for my laptop y’see? Anyway, got it back this arvo so here we go….

This is in no way, shape or form, easy. I really can’t be arsed to post links but you can google away and I DO have a New Scientist article to show that Nicotine is as addictive as, say, heroin.

I have smoked for more years than I care to remember, probably a 20-30 a day person. I decided to quit. Monday morning, and that was it, I had my Inhalator(TM) and 42 cartridges.

I really don’t think people know what to say, should they encourage you, shouldn’t they?

In my case I want people to ask me, I want them to say “well done” or “idiot” or whatever. Please do not think I want to, or can, do this on my own. And I want them to do it EVERY BLOODY HOUR. I am not attention seeking, I want to do this but if I think no-one else gives a shit it makes it a hell of a lot harder.

I lapsed today and had two puffs before putting it out, am back on the Inhalator (TM). I wished people knew how difficult it is to stop smoking.
