Pizza, Black Pudding and Whispering Bob. (Genius)
Cheers for the beers last night gents. As well as the nice Summer Ale in the Butcher's, two brilliant revelations were visited on me last night between the hours of 10.30 and 1. First, there was the Full English Breakfast pizza. As I'm sure I mentioned ad nauseam last night, that is genius. In fact it is one of those works of genius which is so brilliant that you can't believe it's never been done before. Very much like chips must have been, or pizza itself. (Oh yes, and the wheel if you must). I mean, black pudding on a pizza. As I said, genius. Second, on arrival chez Bandy there was the magnificence of the 30 year rerun of the best moments of the Old Grey Whistle Test complete with both versions of Whispering Bob Harris (the current one and the 1970s flared-trousered sideburn-clad one). When you are hammered and full of FEB pizza, there are a number of things you want to do (karaoke, sleep on the night bus, talk out of your backside etc). The number one slot has now been retired in honour of last night's offering of the full live version of "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd free on BBC 2. Genius. Not sure the missus was quite so impressed though.
