Duke attempts the Impossible

[duke3016]

Taking a long weekend 5 days off. Relaxing and digging through dvd's and suchlike because daytime TV is so bad it is embarrassing. I mean hundreds of fecking channels and not a watchable program among them. Resorting to watching Strike it Rich, my life is a social whirl...

Oops, switched that mod back on so you should be able to embed now Ger.

Great video, love the song....you"ll never beat the Irish....unless you"re Croatian I guess....or maybe Italian....not even going to question the global football rights of the Spanish....sigh on the random draw front. 

I know one thing, we"ll be loud, colourful and good humoured however the ball rolls.

Can"t wait.

Pretty good!

So my annual rant is about to begin, yes I am talking about the Turner prize. Contemporary art ? Don't start me...


Spartacus Chetwynd made her name by staging recreations that have a home-made aesthetic and often involves an element of audience participation. (That"s right get others to do the work)

Actually, Spartacus Chetwynd changed her name by deed poll, so really did make her name, literally. She says it annoys people, as does her art, and once her name no longer annoys people she will change it again. No chance of her art ever losing the ability to annoy unfortunately.

Would really love to, but I suspect I"m going to have my hands full in July.  I"ve got Hard Rock Calling tickets for London in mid July also and tbh, not even sure whether I"ll be able to make that atm either.  However, all for a very good reason.

I noticed Duke Special on the Sunday roster in Westport.  You and jnr teaming up?

It was a good night, once I got in there. Nearly drove into that front room not expecting the turn to be that sharp. Had a good game myself and I am starting to like this live poker a bit now. Made one big mistake by not folding AQhh when it was obvious I was beat but really happy to finish fifth. Only wrong time to shove with 66 to get beat by KK kept me out of the individual pennies also.
