Speaking of Jimi Hendrix... I got that album, it was the right one. The track I was thinking of from it was Drone Blues, not Jimi Jam. The intro to Drone Blues fucking rocks! It's like psychedelic wah-wah speed-bluegrass, or something.

I went up to see my Dad last weekend and gave him a card and book about wine. However, I found out last night that my stepmum's chucking him out for cheating on her (same reason my mum chucked him out 20 years ago), so I doubt he'll have a very good father's day. Posts: 710

A steal at £30 on Ebay (RRP £150), but my soft-arse brother has cried off from tonight's session due to a "blister on his foot". Surely you can still run around with a poxy blister on your foot? Might encourage it to burst or something...
I was well organised and actually had a game of squash at 7.20 this morning. I felt really energetic when I got into work but come about 12 I was really starting to flag so off to the pub for a couple of guinness and i'm sorted now.
Also they've just started pouring champgane for everyone at work! This is turning into the best Friday ever. Well, since the last one where I wasn't at work.

He's a very naughty man isn't he. My Dad's guilty of the same (only the once, mind), which means that when we meet up for a pint on Sunday, my girlfriend is finally going to have to meet his 'wife' - she's gargoyle-like and extremely boring. Nice one, Dad.Posts: 1696

Yeah, my stepmum is a bit evil and has no sense of humour at all, so we're hoping he'll do better next time, lol.

At least you're rid of her. I wish - no, I can't bring myself to call her my stepmum - she would dump my Dad. She's a disaster waiting to happen. Compulsive, manipulative liars usually are.

The men in your family don't really have good luck with women, do they Zygote?

Oh, I went for pasta and meatballs from the Italian place. Very nice. Forgot my wallet. Guy said it's okay, pay him later. So I have an excuse to go for a fag in a bit and pay him back. And buy some chocolate while I'm there. Or a square of millionaire's shortbread.

Lol. That's true. It's his own fault for tiring of the 'mundane marriage routine' and kicking off an affair with someone close to him at work, before allowing the 'someone' to spread lies ensuring that there was no going back for him with my Mum.
Me - I've always just been a terrible judge of character. Taking people at face value as opposed to using one's inbuilt bitch-detection-unit. I can't say that about my current* woman though. She's the sanest woman I've ever met. But, having said that, we're only 5 months in. There's still time for change...
My brother isn't concerned with good or bad luck with women - he simply chooses to stay alone, drink excessively and generally fuck around whilst not working. I should, perhaps, take a leaf out of his book.
Edit: *I hate using the term 'current' when talking about relationships, but I can't think of a nicer way of wording it.

what the expletive deleted is that?
edit: just had an hour on the phone to my dad. :ninja

he's learning funk with his guitar tutor next week. i'm hoping we can sit around discussing chicken scratches, while digging through my records in the coming months.

You'll be delighted to hear that just three years ago, a certain 'Zygote' was proudly walking his Mother down the aisle - well it was in a Register office, but, you know, she got remarried to a lovely man and they both lived happily ever after.

I like a happy ending. I wish someone would marry my Mum, though.

If I wasn't already spoken for I'd snatch her up in a heartbeat. Based on what I've heard about her in the past. Seems like quite a catch. And you could call me Daddy.

I just bought my dad a book with photographs of tramps - called Phil and Me or something - it looks great, and he loves photo's of tramps, does the old man.
Going for a book called Travel's with Heroditus for the in-law-old-man... looked good too.
I love books - must not spend money on them at moment - but did just buy Zodiac and a William Boyd one.
And a book called Nationality:Wog caught my eye.
Oh and, thanks Zygote!
