Today's lyric:

"Well it's a shame when you got nobody
And it's a drag when you got no friends
But it's worse when you get no mercy
And you're startin' all over again."
The Tubes: "No mercy"
From the album: "Remote control"
I managed to get the first holding screw out of the iron without too much difficulty.
Then I was confronted by two screws, the heads of which I'd never seen the like of before (and that's after attempting some 20 mends of individual electrical pressing-type appliances during the course of our married life - honestly).
So out to the garage, to try and hacksaw a gap in an otherwise perfectly useable screwdriver, for to remove the remaining pins. Result: one screwed screwdriver.
Eventually, a pair of needle-nose pliers were employed to winkle out the recalcitrant little bu99ers and then the whole gubbins fell out.
At which point, Number One Son entered the kitchen, apprised the situation in a flash and remarked "Father, why do you bother trying to fix irons? You're crap at it."
Out of the mouths...

"Don't need a whore, I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest.
But I need someone I can cry to, I need someone to protect.
Making love and breaking hearts, it is a game for youth.
But I'm not waiting on a lady, I'm just waiting on a friend."
The Rolling Stones: "Waiting on a friend"
From the album: "Jump back"
Watching
The Brits last night, initially I thought that a loss of sound was a technical problem, but Mrs.D. reckoned someone had sworn and it had been 'bleeped' by fuzzing the broadcast?
I never have understood this censorship thing. If a live audience (including, by its very nature, young pop-loving people) were able to listen to what was said, why is it possible to fade out what we're quite prepared to hear, knowing (because it was announced as being 'live' and therefore possibly contentious), that there might be the odd swear-word?
It really pi55e5 me off.

Jonathan Ross is to receive an official reprimand from industry watchdogs for using the F-word at 22.30 on Comic Relief "because children may still have been watching". 30 people complained (out of how many millions?)
Yet Graham Norton uses (virtually) the whole gamut of obscenities from 10.00 p.m. onwards and receives not one slap on a limp wrist?
I'm off to get a new
watershed..
