Best. Saturday. Evening. Telly. EVER.
And now, the most difficult thing I’ve had to say in the past few years:
Make sure you watch ITV1 next Saturday from 7pm to see it!
….
….
…has anyone got any vodka? I feel the need to get drunk after that.
Pat
Feeling: Good, ta
Song in Head: Lots of ROCK tunes (listening through old Squage ROCKS stuff)

Hello, Squage here writing for Pat to let you know about something:
The Questionable Content net cartoon.
It’s been going for years, long before Pat and I went on our Oz travelling trip together, but Pat’s only recently been made aware of it (he was probably also told about this years ago, but you know what his memory’s like).
It’s his new favourite toon. Funny, touching, nerdy, well drawn, featuring characters you actually grow to care about. It’s basically the sort of thing he’d love to come up with. Go read!
Why am I writing this and Pat isn’t?
Because Pat’s still stuck to his chair following that AMAZING DERREN BROWN STUNT.
Oh, no, wait, no.
No he isn’t.
(What was the real point of that, I wonder? Ratings grabbing? Cos it was a damned success if so)
See ya,
Squage
Feeling: Ooh what do I write in here? I guess I’m… good, thanks!
Song in Head: Some terrible party music gumph that Pat’s playing
We were discussing married life, the future of relationships and so on at lunch today (it was far less mature than it sounds), which for some reason lead me to think of the world’s most awesomely cheesy and cringeworthy chat up line / proposal:
(To be said in the style you’d imagine Family Guy’s Stewie saying to Brian, probably followed by Brian hitting him)
[Put phone to ear] Hello? Why yes, hang on…
[Lower phone, put hand over mouthpiece, look at other person] Hey, It’s the future. It’s for you and me.
Ahthankyou.
Pat
Feeling: Happy, as it’s Friday and he’s going to be sharing the EuroMillions jackpot tonight.
Song in Head: Bananarama – Robert De Niro
…about 3 years ago, I was living at my folks house (having left my shared lodgings in Brentwood), preparing for my epic travelling adventure and considering just how to word my “I’m technically resigning but please keep me on file cos I’d quite like a job when I get back thanks very much” letter.
In fact, more accurately, I was just getting my travel insurance sorted, booking my jabs and in the process of sorting out hotels. As this blog entry shows.
Scary that it’s three years ago.
For some it may have flown past, but for me, in honesty, it actually feels like a lifetime ago. The past two years have flown, but that 8 months of travelling before it felt like forever.
Time? Linear? Shurely some mishtake!
So, here’s some nostalgia-creation for you on this Thursday evening / Friday morning: Where were you three years ago? What were you doing?
Toodles,
Pat
Feeling: Excited about various holidays over the next 6 months, including a potential 3 weeks in the place I was planning to go to about 3 years ago…
Song in Head: Dire Straights – Sultans of Swing (I’m organising my playout system, and currently working on the Squage Party section :-) )
I was going to write something good today, but I’ve forgotten what I was going to write about.
I have a terrible memory.
But what’s worse is that I have a terrible…. sense of humour. Ha haaa! :)
Pat
Feeling: Ok
Song in Head: Mister Mister – Broken Wings
Oops! Yet again another week passes with no blog.
My excuse this time is that it was Lev’s stag do at the weekend, and I was tasked with organising it. Not much of an excuse, but certainly better than my usual “Oh, man, I was supposed to do daily blogs wasn’t I?” :)
Anyways, let’s fill you in on some things from the past week:
10th Mika Vs David Brent
You may have already seen this, and if you have, you should see it again. If you haven’t yet seen this, you should see this IMMEDIATELY.
What is this, this thing I am talking of?
Why: this.
11th Lev’s Stag Do – Starter Evening
I can’t play poker for toffee, or chips, or anything for that matter. However, I do have the ability to find Guinness-branded playing cards very funny, purely due to such awesome images as this on the royal cards:
For some reason RTJ and myself found the earnest repetition of “My Goodness. My Guinness!” one of the funniest things in the world that evening.
We may have been drinking.
12th Lev’s Stag Do – The Main Event!
What a mental, beery, awesome day. Thanks all for coming! STAAAAAAAAAAAAAG.
13th Oh, Go On Then…
Today, in my slightly hungover state, I decided to reinstate Squage Party. It’s back in October (exact date TBC) and will be only an hour long – but it’s back none the less, and will be every week this time. Wooh! If you want to Stay Informed, send an email to party at squage dot com requesting such a thing – or trundle to (and join) the Facebook Group. A proper web site will be made soon, I promise!
14th Kanye West is a Tool
I liked his first two albums. Then I saw him on some TV shows. Now I’ve seen him do this to Taylor Swift. He’s going to have to release something pretty frigging amazing to make me buy any more of his stuff. Mind you, he is the self-proclaimed Son of God, so I guess it’ll be pretty damned awesome. Hmm, “damned” is probably the wrong word to use in describing the work of the Son of God. Er… can we say “probably fictional”? Can I get away with that? No? Damn. ;-)
15th RIP Patrick
Sad day, today. Patrick Swayze has passed away, finally losing his 20 month battle with pancreatic cancer. You were a legend, sir. I salute you.
Go on, have a listen to this. Then go and watch this to make up for it. The sky diving scenes? Yep, that’s him. What a legend.
Sad day.
See ya,
Pat
Feeling: Kinda sad
Song in Head: Swayze – She’s Like The Wind
Feeling: Hungry
Song in Head: Some generic dance from a dance compilation CD
Yo yo!
Tonight, I went over to my supervisor’s place with some of the team, which was great as it involved a whole lot of a) BBQ food (including lots of tasty home made food!), b) chin wagging, c) laughing and d) the discovery of something I probably should’ve experienced years ago.
No, I don’t mean meat, Gib. I mean the LOLCat Bible.
Possible thoughts from yourself at this point:
My responses to your thoughts:
I love it. It’s just ridiculous to think that someone’s written the bible in LOLSpeak, but it’s happened. I’m a particular fan (through being introduced to the LOLCat Bible via this page this evening) of Genesis 1:
“At start, no has lyte. An Ceiling Cat sayz, i can haz lite? An lite wuz”
Well done The Internet. You get to stay.
Pat

Feeling: Full up and Amused

Awesome stuff.

Feeling: A bit “Monday”
Song in Head: Peep Show Theme (From Series 1)
I just rebooted my PS3. And there, hey presto, was the iPlayer item on the menu! And there are lots of other bits.
Woohoo PS3 Firmware v3! And sorry Sony, you’re not bad * after all!
Toodles,
Pat
* Apart from all that terrible DRM shit you love, oh and the minor thing about putting rootkits on people’s PCs to “protect” your precious songs from “criminals” who wanted to, ooh, say, make a copy of a song they’ve just purchased from you and put it on their iPod. Which, insanely, is still technically illegal when I last checked. But that’s a whole other rant
