I sometimes think of my proper job title as being 'Professional Gambler'...

And the only reason I feel able to claim something so silly, is because I generally loose more than I win...

At least so far...


Yes boss, I'm currently re-reading what must be my favourite book for the umpteenth time...

Sexus by Henry Miller...

It's been 4 years since I've read it, and it's lost nothing - in fact it's taken on a whole new light and I'm finding exceptional new bits...


'I was approaching my thirty-third year, the age of Christ crucified. A wholly new life lay before me, had I the courage to risk all. Actually there was nothing to risk: I was at the bottom rung of the ladder, a failure in every sense of the word.'


Well, I'm half way through my 33rd year and I'm not quite so downbeat on my success as Hank, but occasionally you put a mirror up (apart from when leaving the house in a bad tracksuit) and see how things look and I guess I'm doing that just now...


Yes boss, Mrs Giovanni is away on business in the South of France, so I have time and space to really indulge myself without having to hide the bottles and DO THE WASHING UP!!!


Within 48 hours of her last expedition, I'd lost my bankcard, £15 in cash, my favourite handmade scarf, become embroiled in an argument with a bouncer, spent some time screaming at the canal, made CHG1 and captured The Chairs Of Pop Power...


I saw none of that coming - who knows what these next few days hold???


I know I have endless wine, 3 days observation at Gizzard Studios, a night at the proms, and (if I'm not hiding) the Eugene Machine at the Luminaire.....

I'd imagine I'll also probably pose around the flat in my Keagan shorts, scream at the canal some more, shit on the walls, play the music VERY LOUD, watch a few films, pretend to cook, keep on reading Hank + a bit of PJ O'Rourke, make a lot of mess and try and get to the bottom of just exactly what is going on....?!?


So, the usual...

I WANT TO SHOOOOOOHHHOOOOOT THE WHOLE DAY DOWN!!!! (_Pt3_)

Current mood: BLACK!!! BLACK!!!!

So, I'm back home and as D:REAM once said - THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER!!!

In order to restore calm, I have a pile of ironing, and the TV with Disaster Porn on 2 or 3 of the news channels.

Yes boss, this is about 1pm GMT - Hurricane Gustav is due to hit land somewhere near the Big NO any minute!!!

And if this motha is anything like the hype says, they'll be rooves a-flying, big bangs a rattling, and park benches a-floating down the high street before afternoon tea!!!

As if that's not enough to keep my attention, there's the last day of the football transfer window on Sky Sports News..


The current trend in UK football, is for teams to be bought by foreign billionaires and used as private playthings...

Yes boss, it's 2008 and every super-rich cunt the world over seems to want to buy an English team, buy all the worlds best players and pay them £150,000 each a week to kick a fucking ball around a park...

Of course no-one likes to look too carefully at where all this money comes from and how those who own it behave - which is handy because if anyone did, there'd probably have to be something a kin to a re-run of the Nuremberg Trials - and no-one wants that...

Instead we want to see BIG £$£$$$$$$ MONEY DEALS be made AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE!!!

WE WANT DRAMA AND BIG £$££££$$$$$ SUMS BEING BROKERED!!!

WE WANT BROKEN CONTRACTS, ENDLESS SMILING SENSATIONS (have you noticed the money smile) AND SILLY PROMISES OF ENDLESS SUCCESS!!!!

WE WANT TO SEE SO MUCH MONEY$£$£$£$£ LOVE, WE REALISE THAT THE DAY THE BAILIFFS COME IN IS THE DAY TO KILL ALL OUR FAMILY AND BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!!!!


So, with both TVs primed - all I need is some good background music...

I browse the cassettes and find the perfect fix...

It's called Up Front 9

It features:

Model 500
St Paul
Loretta Holloway
HEAVY D AND THE BOYS (whatever happened to Heavy D??)
&
Phase II

It's a 'DOUBLE PLAY SINGLE CASSETTE'!!!

It has 'FULL LENGTH 12" EXTENDED AND REMIXED VERSIONS'!!!

It 'INCLUDES BONUS CLASSIC GROOVE'!!!!

It's serious

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!


Well, I settle into it, and start ironing the towels...


BBC News 24 starts with what appears to be a climbdown on Gustav.

Yes boss, it's down from a Cat 3 to a Cat 2 and I'm getting the feeling it's been deliberately over played to get people tuning in and admiring the new evacuation procedures...

THE WIND DOESN'T EVEN LOOK THAT CHOPPY!!!

THE WATER IS ONLY GENTLY LAPPING THE TOPS OF THE LEVEE'S!!!!

SHIT!!!


With Hhhy G not performing the levels of wholesale destruction I'd been lead to expect, I start lapping up the apparent tug of war between Manchesters City and United for Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov...

This very morning, Manchester City have been quick bought by an Arab who has 10 times as much money as Roman Abramovich!!!

And now, THEY'RE GONNA BUY EVERYONE!!!

TWICE!!!

AND WIN EVERYTHING!!!

TWICE!!!!

AND THEN WIN EVERYTHING AGAIN!!!!

TWICE!!!


This is good.

And though I'm becoming infuriated with Mrs Giovannis frilly and hard to iron clothes, I feel I'm recovering well - my levels are returning to normal - once again I'm starting to think optimistically....


I then find out I'm gonna have to be paying TAX on my grapey I Bronca wages...

ITALIANS TALKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT PAYING TAX?!?!?

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE WORLD COMING TOO?????
