Right, I'm off to bed.

Does anyone know when Bubba-Hotep debuts on UK cinema screens? It looks to be the film that has everything, including Bruce Cambell as Elvis...

Go see here.

It has come to that time again, when I am called upon to examine potential housing subsidy overclaims from hapless local authorities in England.

By and large this is a boring technical exercise which compares anticipated need to spend against anticpated income, nets off what they actually spend and receive, factors in a few random numbers and my birthday and cross-references with the Secretary of State's current bio-rythmns.

In short it's dead scientific (and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you).

Anyway, if we just run the numbers without querying them for unanticipated changes in housing stock levels and such, we can have enormous fun.

For example, a chap might be tempted to take the raw data and apply an abatement of £135 million on a claim for £77 million for one unnamed northern authority just to see if the Chief Exec's coronary would register on seismographs 200 or so miles away.

But I quite like the place in question and know why the figures are so fanciful, so there'll be no abatement.

But Gad, the temptation...

Listening to Curved Air, I am minded to wonder whatever became of the delightful Sonja Kristina, one of my youthful letches from the mid '70s. Legs all the way up, and hair that would have given the Shrimp pause...

I must remember to do a Google search after this.

Hey ho.

Have just returned from an evening of duck hunting in Sunny Clapham with DT, Ian, Hayden, Maisie and a couple of other nice but name-forgotten people also sans LJ, together with [livejournal.com profile] caffeine_fairy, [livejournal.com profile] bibliogirl, [livejournal.com profile] chomper99, [livejournal.com profile] thalinoviel, [livejournal.com profile] anubisgrrl, [livejournal.com profile] romney, [livejournal.com profile] jfs, [livejournal.com profile] westernind and [livejournal.com profile] rotwang.

Much wine, much duck, much tea, much other stuff. And natterage above and beyond the call of duty.

I am informed that [livejournal.com profile] forbinproject is learning the arcane art of car drivage. The thought of Ser English behind the wheel of a moving vehicle scareth me mightily.

Oh well. Back to the reverie.

Sonja Kristina. Mmmm...
