the beach boy s re-worked smile project
The project will be released in three versions: a two-CD set, an iTunes LP digital album and a limited-edition boxed set containing four CDs, two vinyl LPs, two vinyl singles and a 60-page hardbound book written by Beach Boys historian Domenic Priore.
Q&A: Engineer Mark Linett Talks "Smile" Release
"The Smile Sessions" is being released with the support of the band, including Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson. Wilson wasn't immediately available for an interview but he expressed his excitement about the release in a statement released through Capitol.
"I'm thrilled that the Beach Boys' original studio sessions for 'Smile' will be released for the first time, after all these years," Wilson said. "I'm looking forward to this collection of the original recordings and having fans hear the beautiful angelic voices of the boys in a proper studio release."
royal wedding t shirts
Once again, no matter how tired or drunk l am, l feel the need to post, so it will (eventually) get me into a rhythm of writting some other time (only l know when and how). So here's an easy target, the royal wedding t shirts. Class in a glass (as my cancer ridden toothless , slightly drunk and stinking of wee wee grannie used to say) if only that was true. Never mind, l still hate the royals and everything they stand for, but what can you do (Brighton springs to mind)

caught up in a charlie sheen sex scandal (allegedly)

Comments: 16The flesh merchant, who identified herself only as "Felony," told RadarOnline that hookers dispatched to Sheen's 36-hour bash last week called her in a panic when the star collapsed in pain.
"The girls were, 'Oh, my gosh, they're calling 911 . . . The drugs. What are we going to do?' " Felony said, according to the site.
Once it was clear Sheen needed help and paramedics were on their way, the madam said she launched into cover-up mode.

the silent witness shooting
I was on another blog where they were discussing the end of 'Silent Witness' and how shocking it had been, what a surprise it was etc and it got my curiosity up. It is a programme l have never had an interest in before, but l was intrigued to know what had happened that was so shocking. Although l don't know any of the cast and haven't got a clue about the story lines, l booted up the old iplayer and skimmed to the end to see what happened. l then went to the start of the next episode on the iplayer to find out the explanation for the miraculous escape. What a load of unexpurgated crap l discovered there, making me thankful that l do not watch the programme, if that is the sort of unbelievable storyline they are promoting. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! They make a big thing of showing off the would be assassin's tattoo on his right hand (the one in which he his holding the gun) and then show the switcherooonie guy holding the gun in his left hand (but no tattoos when setting fire to the body). l also find it unbelievable he would have swopped so many clothes and also worn so much of the other guys stuff (with hoodie up) as it would have taken too long to do the swop and there was obviously traffic going past (hence part of the reason for the death). He would have been better off kicking in all his teeth or something to destroy the dental records (not that l am a serial killer or anything). Also an assassin who was so good would have kept his distance as he reloaded, even if he wanted to stand on the victims leg and inflict more pain. Also.........OK, l can't be bothered carrying on with this, suffice to say, l don't know what all the fuss is about with the programme, and l won't be watching it again. l am sure that will destroy their viewing figures.

old school football fans 1977
This is the Manchester United fans at the end of the FA Cup Quarter final against Aston Villa in 1977. Those were the days when there was a proper atmosphere at the games. Admittedly it was a hell of a lot more violent and dangerous, but a much better laugh.

the world is coming to an end
Maybe you are a spendaholic or addicted to gambling? Perhaps you are a fangirl or fanboy or obsessed with your dog? You could be living a double life or obsessed with social networking and ‘Second Life’… perhaps you are addicted to badboys or obsessed with fame? Maybe you are dating a puma or a cougar? Perhaps you spend more time gaming than with your girlfriend?
If you have an amazing real-life story you’d like to share with Peaches Geldof which will make us say “OHMYGOD!” email us at OMG@itv.comnow!!!
What a load of shit (and l don't have to watch this to confirm l am correct)

the kings head at roseberry topping for kerry's birthday
Met up with Kerry and Robbo yesterday at The Kings Head, by Roseberry Topping. We thought it would be nice to go there for a meal (for Kerry's birthday) as the views are good and the food has always been pretty nice in the past. The food was still as good as past visits, but it was pretty misty when we arrived, so we couldn't even see Roseberry Topping. A couple of things about the Kings Head though. The menus were just printed A4 bits of paper, and they had no apple sauce for the pork, which l would have thought would be an easy thing to stock, store, and keep tabs on. Very shoddy indeed, which is a shame as that is the sort of memory you come away with, rather than remembering the good bits. Anyway, the view was alright by the time we left, but myself and the FPO had to scadadle away at 3pm as l had to go to work for 4pm. It actually worked out pretty well, as l dropped off the FPO at home, then went straight to work, and arrived dead on 4pm, couldn't have planned it better. Pretty busy at work but l had a break after tea to do another hospital visit, so that broke it up a bit. Called in at Tescos before coming home to stock up on the old vino (it's purely medicinal, for the stress of work). Watched the Manchester United v Birmingham game on football first (5-0 with a Berbatov hat trick), and also saw the documentary on Iron Maiden, which was much better than anticipated, even though neither myself or the FPO are fans. Decided to wait till Sunday for Match of the Day, so l hit the computer for a while instead. Splendid day all round (apart from the work bit of course). Still no bleeding lottery win. Damn!

ricky gervais on distorted headlines
The 49-year-old comedian denied he had been pressurised by Hollywood into losing weight.
He said: "I got fit after Christmas, running around Hampstead. I've got a gym in my house - well, it's more like a spa. But it was nothing to do with Hollywood. I just thought enough is enough - I'm nearly 50'.
"It's not for a role or anything, my next two movies are animations so it doesn't matter what I look like. This is for my health. I lost 20lb in three months and it's stayed off. I've not stopped eating anything - it's just exercise."
The comedian was speaking at the launch of Sky 1 comedy documentary An Idiot Abroad, in which his podcast co-star Karl Pinkington is sent to the seven wonders of the world after he claimed they were "a bit s***".
Glad they managed to mention the show that we were meant to be talking about at the end.
Anyway the facts are sound.
All this is entirely true. The quotes are accurate.
This is the Headline they went with though...

weekend off watching - shameless - the men who stare at goats - sex and drugs and rock and roll - crazy heart
The new series started this week and it has been on every night. Bloody hell, it has certainly overstretched itself and lots of it was just rubbish. I didn't like all the imaginary sequences (Dr Who etc) and l definitely do not like the new characters (and Franks new woman and her mother are just plain annoying) . Obviously it is a comedy (and supposedly a biting satire on the state of merry old England), but l only ended up watching the whole weeks worth out of a curiosity to see it through to the bitter end. Also, the new black family would never be living on that estate (he is a teacher) and would not be drinking in the jockey all the time. Count me out for the rest of the series.
This however, was really good. The film (2009) is based on the book by Jon Ronson (2004) and has just the right amount of comedy touches, some of them when least expected. Although l knew of the army experiments, you were still unsure whether George Clooney's character (Lyn Cassady) was deceiving himself, or just plain crackers. The beginning of the film wasn't taped, so although only a short bit was missed at the start, l think l will watch this again to see it all. Much better than l imagined.
I had high hopes for this film (2009) as l like Jeff Bridges a lot and it had got some great reviews. He won an Oscar for it and his acting was of his usual high standard, but l thought the ending was a bit of a let down and there were some unbelievable scenes in the film which just annoyed me (being handed cheques before a show/losing the kid and not calling the cops from the bar etc).
