I got six new pairs of boxer shorts this week. It isn't quite up there with the seven pairs Tilde got but it's not bad. Not bad at all.

We're on dress down at work all this week because of the snow. I don't quite understand that reasoning. Perhaps it's a way to try to persuade people to come to work.

Even someone like Dawn French would beat him, if the game was starring in a mediocre, yet breathtakingly successful sitcom written by a c*nt.

It actually seems to have worked quite well. Hardly anyone failed to make it in. However it has started snowing really hard now so I suspect a lot of people won't be able to make it home.

Wasn't that voted in the top five of all sitcoms ever by people who watch channel 4 and can be bothered to vote in ridiculous polls about shit?

Hey guess what! I went to see Monster Magnet while I was off work and not only was the crowd completely static all the way through the gig, but Dave Wyndorf has really let himself go. Conversely when I saw Soulfly last feb, Max was on great form and the crowd was mental. You know what I'm talking about.

can you divide the game up like that though? I mean those are small victories compared to the general thrashing he deals to everybody. If I beat him at knowing which ikea cardboard box on top of the wardrobe contains the correct cable for the camera, that's so massively overshadowed by his general uber-victory that it's rendered inconsequential.
The fact that the gig took place in front of about 100 semi-interested rock-nerds in the 1000 capacity Leamington Spa Assembly Rooms only added to the sense of dismal failure.

But Angus Young's hard rock record sales victory is beating Billy at his own game. It's easily quantifiable, and playing to both their stengths, and Billy loses. At the only thing that counts. It's hard to think of any game that doesn't involve beards, where ZZ Top beat out the DC.

i feel like zz top are cooler than ac/dc as well. Don't know why. it's the whole hotrod / blues / beard thing. who would be better tour with do you think? zz top or ac dc? me, or thorn? it's a tough one. ZZ Top i think of summer evenings at backyard bbq-based outdoor festivals in texas, but ac dc, more likely to be the milton keynes bowl, or somewhere in germany, during a recession, and its pissing it down. don't know why.

The beard thing annoys me a little bit. It seems like it's there so that a certain type of man, who maybe works for a PR company specialising in corporate and political accounts and listens to things like Dire Straits, can say "They've all got beards... except the drummer and he's called Frank Beard. You've gotta love it."

AC/DC only sells more records because Rock fans go in to HMV and go to the Rock section and start at "A" and go "Hmm, Aardvaark Scabies? Nope, not heard of them. Ahh, AC/DC, that rings a bell (at the beginning of one of their songs), that'll do. Mum, can you lend me three pounds? Nan only gave me a ten pound token."
Zed Zed Top sell to real connoisseurs who know that La Grange pisses all over anything AC/DC have churned out. Just for a start.
