I also have it stuck in my head, but at a certain point it turns into the theme from Clive Dunn's 'Grandad'.
"Ordinary is extraordinary... the words are right but the tune is wrong!"
Bizarre. Haven't heard that song for decades.

I wonder if elevator music played out when the Decepticons used the Space Bridge?

Hi Sportsfans!
Zudo, that work place of yours is total sh1t. Unbeleivable.
I passed my theory exam on Tues, 90 freakin' percent! Yeah Baby! Practicles in 3 weeks, and 3 2,000 word essays and 2 3,000 word essays left will complete the classroom element. Then off in hospital sticking tubes down people's throats etc.
Hope everyone ok!

Eeee, get well soon Phil. Not fun that. Keep hydrated. Don't eat much, just feeds the bug.

Also just back from Dunfermline, had to get up for work seven and a quarter hours after getting home. Not a good start.
Supervisor came back from holiday two days earlier than I anticipated and was already making her presence felt in my earhole within an hour of starting work. The joys.
Still, it wasn't a bad day. Got a bit of news from the store manager that I've popped up in Toys & Merchandise.

Yesterday my workplace made four more redundancies but this time the ones to feel the axe drop were two managers and two supervisors. One of the managers had been working at the place for over 20 years while the other only had about two more years left until retirement. The thing I find funny though is that it was these same people who were convinced by other managers that if the union got into the factory there would be redundancies - so they voted against the union.
In other news a buzzard came into my families back garden today and attacked some of my fathers and my sisters pet birds in the aviary. One of my fathers diamond doves (a minuture version of a dove about the same size as a budgie) was attacked in his aviary and we don't expect it to survive the night while a couple of my sisters lovebirds have also been attacked and although they have shocking wounds they are expected to survive.

Hope you get a better night tonight Phil. I'm a little tired myself but for completely different reasons - just got back from a great holiday in Taiwan and Japan, so I'm a little jet-lagged. I managed to score Encore Trailbreaker and Hoist in Tokyo but no Masterpiece Grimlock - looks like he isn't out for a few weeks.

Another low-budget thrilling afternoon down the library. Annoyingly, the desk where you can read the papers is gone! So I killed everyone and everything.
After some hunting, found some el cheapo headphones so now I can enjoy audio drama again after the old pair died on me last week, much to my anguish. Also bought some pencils so I can try my head at drawing Wheeljack tomorrow. This may take me quite some time, my artistic abilities not being much greater than that of a drunken worm.

I am starting to come back down to earth after our exciting adventures in Funfermalino. Although I did get safely back to Falkirk on Friday evening after having to detour on the way home to do a days work I couldn't really have said that I was awake as such by the time I made it home.
A day spent watching possibly Jackie Chan's best film (directorially) followed by Sneaker, and a bit of pottering in the kitchen (My vegetable casserole is improving, but the dumplings still seem to need a lot of work), seems to have brought me back to properly awake status in good order.

I'm on hour 4 of trying to get the next 4 Star Dub vids in the can and prob another hour away from finishing editing them. You might not think they take much effort (and I could hardly blame you) but they take an age to do. Arrrrggghhhh.
May need to break open another bottle of bitter lemonade soon.

The new central library in Cardiff opened yesterday, so I went to give it the once over before heading to the WMC for another live storytelling. Five floors, very spacious with glass from ceiling to floor allowing one to look down on shoppers below. Lots of books, thankfully, and comfy chairs, plus computers on each floor for free Internet access. And a newspaper reading area. But not particularly quiet - the days of whispering in libraries are long gone. And there's a grand piano that people can play, which can be heard through the whole place. Quite nice to hear while browsing books, though less than ideal for studying.
Sister and sister's boyfriend visited and stayed the night, which was nice. Had a meal in the pub in the Bay.
Today I sowed radishes in the garden and watched the 3-hour film 'Nicholas and Alexandra'. Tom Baker puts in a fine performance as the mad monk Rasputin.

The library in Falkirk remains fairly quiet, but then it hasn't had a make-over since, I would hazard a guess - 1994. It is usually fairly quiet whenever I am in there, admittedly this tends to be early evening so this may have an influence.
It is just a shame that something can't be done to improve their array of books. Despite having a large crime section, for example, it would appear that nowhere in the Falkirk District Library Service can you obtain anything by Raymond Chandler. It seems inconcievable to me that you can have a crime section without one of the fundamental authors in the genre. They have stuff by Robert Crais and Sarah Paretsky, but no room it appears for the foundations. But then, their Science Fiction section is painfully barren of Asimov, Clark (pre Ghost from the Grand Banks) or Niven. So it looks less like oversight and, regretably, more like policy.
