Some &#8211; just some! &#8211; of the random things we covered (apart from the excellent music, natch) include:<\/p>\n<p>* An impromptu review of the film <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Twiglet<\/span> Twilight (meh!)<br \/>\n* Being excited about going to see inLight at the Oxford 02 on Wednesday<br \/>\n* Some of the things we got up to in Liverpool last weekend<br \/>\n* This week&#8217;s trip to Spain (Go Karting aces, Rustic apartment in La Alpujarra, Chris Stewart &#8211; author of Driving Over Lemons &#8211; played drums in Genesis before Phil Collins arrived, a smart hotel where we had the pool to ourselves)<br \/>\n* Why my Twitter-buddy <a title=\"Dan Black on MySpace\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/danblacksound\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Black<\/a> can&#8217;t use HYPNTZ as his next single &#8211; because a dead rapper says so! What would Notorious B.I.G say if he was still alive?<br \/>\n* Facebook etiquette, what&#8217;s all the poking about?<br \/>\n* A Swiss person sacked for Facebooking while off work sick<br \/>\n* Stupid people trying to buy a car<br \/>\n* Stupid people trying to con stupid car sellers<br \/>\n* Canada promotes the landlocked province of Alberta with a picture of a beach in Northumberland<br \/>\n* Having a thing for Captain Janeway of Star Trek Voyager (and the improbably proportioned, impressively-breasted Seven)<\/p>\n<p>That was Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>So today, instead of the planned dressage competition, we&#8217;re going to a small local horse show in a village called Tackley, just north of Kidlington.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not going to &#8216;do&#8217; anything particular; Vin, Soph and I will turn up, bumble round, perhaps do some uncompetitive things, eat some food and then go home again.<\/p>\n<p>I think Vin deserves a treat and a morning out could be just the ticket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday &#8211; Saturday &#8211; was fun.
