  • Neat joke

    I take no applause for this as it was posted by hebburndelboy:

    Batman came up to me and he hit me over the head with a vase and he went
    "T'PAU!"
    I said "Don't you mean KAPOW??"
    He said "No, I've got China in my hand."

    Dennypoos.................credit where credit's due

  • Sunday rolls around once more,

    and so it must be time for a little music. Following Seasideman's Scandinavian guitar player, may I introduce Leo Kottke, a similarly gifted player albeit in a different genre.

    Heard here playing an interesting medley live:

    He can be seen on Youtube here,

    Dennypoos...........................Yes he really knows best.

  • Sorry state Saints.

    Southampton footie club lurch from one crisis to another. Having been beaten by Blackpool today, I find the attendance was only 15,690. This would just fill the old 'Dell' but is 20,000 down on a couple of seasons ago. Still what can I expect when we sell all our good players, Beatie, Crouch, Kenwyne Jones,Kevin Davies and little old Theo Walcott.
    Not content with getting rid of our top players, we also get shot of our top managers, Hoddle, Redknapp, Strachan, Dave Jones and not forgetting Nigel Pearson who kept Saints in the championship last year.

    As a 'Dads Army' saying has it:

    Doomed....we're all doomed.

    Dennypoos.................................like I'm going to lose sleep over it?

  • American election stuff.

    It seems that McCain (the frozen chip man) has got himself a running mate, a Mrs Palin (round the world woman? ).
    So on the one hand we have a young Black guy with no foreign affairs experience teamed up with an elder white guy with experience aplenty.
    On the other hand, McCain has teamed up with a woman from their equivalent of 'the sticks' ie. Alaska.

    I wonder if more boxes could possibly have been ticked? Perhaps if the lady concerned was a lesbian in a wheelchair and an ex drug addict to boot then All the boxes would have been ticked.

    Dennypoos.......................Americans eh? You couldn't make it up.

  • Uh-Huh

    2008 06 21 0001

  • Ok whats happning here.?

    2008 06 21 0007

  • See, told you.

  • Behold a photograph.

    I am as fixated by 'Southampton Old Cemetery' as some people are with the sea, or Youtube.

    Regret Blog.co.uk not wanting to play at the moment with regard to uploading photographs.
    I shall get back to you on that one, as the saying goes.

    Dennypoos......................thwarted but not defeated.

  • Security and computer security stuff.

    ..
    We are day by day finding that computer security, internet security and the security of this benighted isle are being compromised. This can quite often take the form of some smug fuckwit not realising that when he leaves his laptop on the train not everyone is likely to hand it in to lost property, as the 'Red tops' love to tell us.
       There may be some who think that "smug fuckwit" is perhaps going a little too far and they may be right. What description should I use, I wonder for the Ministry of Defence who have provided us all with what has to be the supreme example of institutionalised smug fuckwitedness:

      In a recent report by Sir Edmund Burton it came to light that six hundred and fifty laptops and twenty memory sticks had been stolen from the MoD in the last few years. Thats SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY.

      When asked to comment, the MoD stated that its policies and proceedures were "fit for purpose".

    So thats alright then.

     ______________________________________

    We can also sleep easier in our beds knowing that the law enforcement agencies made 519,260 requests to monitor the publics' phone calls AND Emails, (thats yours and mine perhaps), last year according to Sir Paul Kennedy, (communications minister).

      I must just pose the age old question:

    WHO WATCHES THE WATCHERS?

    Dennypoos.........................................will no one rid me of that troublesome bee from inside my bonnet?
  • Bargains can give you a heart attack.

    ...and I'm here to show how this can be the case through the medium of photography:

    creamblog

    This means that certain things have to be made:

    cakeblog

    Then after a little while....

    plateblog

    After too much of the above, the following may be observed:

    gutblog

    leading to:

    monitorblog

    and then a curling up of the toes.

    Dennypoos.............................still Southamptons leading masterbaker.

  • Man City v Some Danish team

    So I'm idling today, no change there then, watching Manchester City playing a UEFA cup tie (second leg) against FC Midtjylland.
    City are one nil down, away goal ooh-err,and are playing as though they were four nill up. Stroking the ball around, taking their time and not (as corporal Jones would say) panicking.
    Sixty eight minutes in, no real chances and if I were Mark Hughes I'd be giving serious bollockings from the touchline.

    Still, I aren't Sparky and neither are those buggers on the pitch.

    Dennypoos.......................another wasted afternoon.

  • Words......

    .....I'm currently reading a book thats full of 'em, as indeed are most books. The difference here being that with the majority of my reading matter I have no need of a dictionary to be close at hand, but I now find that I do and whether this is the fault of Umberto Eco or his translator I know not, but such is the case.

    I will give below an idea as to what had me stumped to varying degrees and sugest that if any reader knows the defInitions for all these words then they would be better off saving the world or mankind,at least, rather than be buggering about reading this tosh.

    Should any reader think that I am just some uneducated Oik, I would like to make mention of the fact that I passed both English Literature and English Language 'O' levels at a time when that meant something.

    So,I give you:

    ATRAXIA
    ACROSTIC
    ECOMINIUM
    ONERIC
    PIROGUE
    HYPERBOREAN
    ADAMANTINE
    AQUARIAL
    PANTHEISM
    TERMAGANT
    LUBRICIOUS.

    And I'm only halfway through the damned book.

    Go on then Eco!  Educate me if you must!

    Dennypoos...........................But yet a half filled vessel.

  • Sunday music.

    As its a seriously crappy day and I've put my photo expedition to the cemetery on hold, It behoves me to enrich everyone's day of rest with a little suitable music. Behold.....

    Dennypoos..........................for your everyday needs.

  • Too much caffeine....

    ....means that my poor mind is currently a whirling vortex-like maelstrom, and as such whilst parked on the Loo I began thinking of more suitable music for this Olympic handover party malarky.

    Jeff Beck could play, Hi-Ho SILVER lining.

    The Stranglers could give us, GOLDen brown.

    We could have Dexy's midnight RUNNERS.

    Mungo Jerry could do 'The PushBIKE song'.

    I am now about to leave the creative hub of 'Dennypoos Acres' ie. the bathroom and will no doubt come up with truckloads more, unless you guys beat me to it.

    Dennypos..................An enigma wrapped in a problem...etc.

  • Oh for fuck sake!

    I've just found out that the Olympic handover party for London 2112 will feature Will Young and McFly.

    If this is the standard of Boris' Olympic plans, we, and more specifically Londoners, are in the deep brown stuff.

    China apparently spent tens of billions on Beijing and yet four years on we have budgeted only nine billion. Time I think to hand the whole lot over to 'Blue Peter' who will no doubt be able to cobble up something out of old egg boxes and Squeezy bottles.

    Birds Nest, PAH!! Perhaps a scaled up Tracey Island, as per their most successful home-build.

    Dennypoos...............Positive or what?............................Or what.

  • Dodgy scoring.

    Yours truely was incandescent with rage this morning at the elimination of the GB girl from the Olympic Taekwando competition. A blatant case of the home team coming out on top.
    You will I'm sure get fed up of the slo-mo replays of a two point kick to the head.

    This being the case I left the leafy environs of 'Dennypoos Acres' to purchase comestibles for the weekend. Comestibles purchased I took a couple of photo's for the 'Guess where in Southampton' Flickr site and wended my way home.

    Kettle on, I allowed myself an early ten minutes on the gogglebox to get the local weather forecast and... bugger me backwards with a broom handle but they'd reversed the descision and our girlie was in the semi-finals.

    This one will run and run, as thay say in journalistic circles.

    Dennypoos........righteously indignant.

    GB...............vindicated.

  • Blatant Theft.

    Ok so maybe I'm wrong but does this, by Kid Rock:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA

    not sound just a tad like this written thirty years earlier by Warren Zevon:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSc8qVMjKM

    It's supposed to be a form of flattery but I wonder if Warrens estate ( he popped his clogs a few years back) are getting a cut?

    Dennypoos..............righter of wrongs.

  • Russia, Pah!

    Oh there you are!

    Well, it should be my readers and friends saying that as I've had an enforced lay off due to not being a well Bunny. Suffice it to say I'm improved now and hope to take 'Grumpy old git' to new levels.
    Russia Pah! so what is this all about?

    Suppose, for the sake of argument, there was an old super-power whose fortunes, once on the wane, now found itself in a position to be the school bully. Suppose this country had a stranglehold on resources that the western world needed and suppose this country was avaricious for both its ex states and money
    I am of course talking here of 'Pipeline politics' and the Georgia situation in particular, for it seems that South Ossetia is but an excuse for Russia to rubbish Georgia's stability in the hope that oil and gas producers from Azerbaijan and other Caucusus states will divert their oil flow through Russia and thus provide a useful revenue and increase Russia's stranglehold on resources much needed.

    So thats the 'Russia' bit of the title dealt with and now to 'Pah!'
    Yep, the olympics give me a chance to 'Pah' the Russian federation for there was a time in the middle of the week when our Sailors and Rowers had more gold medals than the whole of Russia's teams,and this from a country with a hundred million less people. So Pah and Pah again, PAH.

    Such a jingoistic attitude is not really the me of old and I can only put this down to prescription drugs.

    This attitude of mine, if extrapolated would close all pipelines to this country such that we would have to burn our grannies for heat in the winter and run a scheme to render down couch potatoes and those in prison to use their fats for lighting etc.

    Nice to be back in Bloggo land and now I must be off to buy a lottery ticket and help fund 2012.

    Bugger me but Tim Brabbants has just won us another gold in the mens 1000m Kayak. Woo-Hoo.

    Dennypoos...........to be re-named Jingo-Den?
