You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.

And here we are rapidly running out of bank holiday weekend.

Work tomorrow, and to quote boglin quoting Molesworth, 'chiz.'

Still, I've managed to accomplish a bit a digital chicanery today so I am reasonably pleased - my 'Plan A' to actually work on a half-built resin garage kit foundered at the pre-painting stage. Milliputed (sp?) and sanded to death it was time to apply the primer. At this point it all went wrong as I have plently of spray primer but the propellant ran out, so now I'm stuck with a useless aerosol. Again with the chiz.

Still, I managed to find other things to occupy the Lea bean and all was well.

Having read the telly page in the paper for once during lunch I saw that Auntie, bless her, had utilised the entirety of her broadcasting experience to show The Italian Job on BBC2 tonight. The perfect TV way to end a bank holiday weekend (I can think of better ways to end the weekend, but in telly broadcast terms, it don't get no better than that). This is a movie which has loomed large in my legend recently due to my constantly thwarted attempts to purchase it on DVD. Apparently it is now deleted to make way for the bastardised Hollywood 're-imagining' or whatever, also libellously known as The Italian Job. I have not seen that version; like the Patriot, the history warping U-Wotsit, and anything blatantly so anti-Brit (including the entire 'opus' of Mel Gibson) - it has made my boycott list as a matter of principle.

Take that, Hollywood Moguls.

Anyway, before being sidetracked, I was going to let you into my plan (which is clearly working because I am both eminently side-trackable and having to go back and check my typing every second letter - I won't know how successful that has been until tomorrow morning. In the meantime if I slowly start typing in Norwegian, please bear with me..

Er yes. The plan.

I am recreating, under controlled (ie. bed is handy) conditions, the GREAT WINE EXPERIMENT originally attempted on the Friday evening of NWO Transylvania (if you don't know what that is, I'll explain later provided you ask).

I am currently one-and-a-bit-litres into a passable Chilean Merlot. I aim to finish the full two litres and then collapse and see how much I can remember. I had the presence of mind to tape The Italian Job. I still have some way to go, and I have to say it's a fekkin doddle right now. Fekkin wine, ciggies music and still early enough to collapse in time for a decent night's kip before work.

Anyone would have thought I'd planned it.

In the meantime, if anyone has a DVD of the Italian Job they don't want - give us a squeak. I'll take it off your hands for a fair and negotiated fee.

I'm going to stop typing now as it's a bore checking my spelling. I must remember to fix the spell checker.

Good night, friends and casual passers by....

Edit

Still pissed. Even more so. But manually editted. You will be a better judge than me how successfully. But I spent yonks doing it.

Further note
Am at stage where can seescreen clearly only if put hand obver left eye.
