Guess what! The new single by The Hours, Have You Seen The Light, has a video of Sienna Miller. If you don’t know The Hours, neither do I really. They’re not the villains. They’re pretty inoffensive really. I’m not going to judge. As for the Sienna of our video though, apparently she has trouble getting stuck in glass cages. Naturally she gets an MR scan, I assume to check she’s not mental.
Apparently Damien Hirst provided the “artistic direction” for the video, thus the bovine theme. Has he done that before? Ah well, got to give the douche credit, at least it wasn’t sharks. (Now that really would be mental!)
The dramatic overtones obviously add to the video. I bet they’re even better al disco. Even better than that, if you buy the compact disc you get a Calivin Harris remix as the B-side!
It’s like someone has actively sought out everything I detest (minus Keira Knightley) and made it instantly available in a convenient mp3 format.
Sienna Miller though… Wid. (Same goes for Keira Knightley.)

Two things:
1. Here at Glasgow University we’ve started a Come Dine With Me club wherein we get together in groups of five and take turns hosting dinner parties over 5 weeks a la the show. So expect some blogs and new recipes turning up in the near future. Please join us if you’re interested.
2. Yesterday I had a phone interview regarding potentially appearing in the actual Come Dine With Me. I shit you not.

What is up bitches? It’s slim pickins this week I’m afraid, not only because it was Chicago’s bye-week but both Minnesota and Green Bay were also taking it easy. (Probably tossing each other off! Lolz)
Sorry, sorry. Low blow. (That’s what she said!) Anyway, we still had Dallas, Philadelphia, New York and of course the Detroit Lions who were looking for their first win of the season. (We’re in Week 8 people. Week eight.)
Dallas have been pretty dodgy of late and CD will have had hopes they might continue their slump by losing to Tampa. No luck for the Baby though because God’s team hung on to avoid conceding a last minute touchdown.
What about Detroit? The Redskins were their adversaries on Sunday, a team who still stunk like melena from the previous week when they lost to the Rams. That’s stinky shit. Really stinky shit…
Question: Could the Detroit receivers come up with a surprise victory? Well all you naysayers, who’s laughing now?
Answer: Me. I’m laughing. Detroit lost.
Philadelphia had Westbrook back this week and Kevin Curtis. It showed, particularly Westbrook. Philadelphia back to a winning record.
Lastly, New York, who had a toughy in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh were game, was Ports? Ports is always game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9
Dallas Cowboys 13
Washington Redskins 25
Detroit Lions 17
Atlanta Falcons 14
Philadelphia Eagles 27
New York Giants 21
Pittsburgh Steelers 14
I just read this over to check it. Apologies that it is such an incoherent, disjointed muddle of impromptu dirty jokes and appalling grammar. Even more so than usual. Maybe it’s just because Chicago weren’t playing.
Bear out.

Northern Ireland’s capital regularly appears in the Clubs section of the Saturday Guardian Guide and as a bit of a mover on the dancefloor myself (a fact Phil will corroborate) I am invariably overcome with a strong sense of patriotism when I see Belfast listed along with the likes of London and Manchester. This week Northern Ireland featured yet again though my initial reaction was a little different…
Nobody in Northern Ireland does Halloween quite as well as the city of Derry.
Huh? Derry does stuff well? To be honest I didn’t even know they’d heard of Halloween in Derry. However, the article goes on to reassure us mangoers…
…(However) Belfast is rapidly catching up with the Maiden City when it comes to fancy dress stakes, Derry has long been the place to pimp your pumpkin and don a daft disguise…
Once again the reaction was that of slight surprise. I personally wasn’t totally aware they had clothes in Derry. Wait… That makes me sound stupid. What I mean is that I was pretty sure they did have clothes, just now I know they have clothes. Anyway, I’m actually very happy for the City of Derry. Turns out, they have a lot of stuff I didn’t know they had. Shops, books, water, Tesco… Loads of stuff!
Maybe it’s been a ruse all these years, a secret plot to one day conquer the world. Who knows. Maybe it won’t be GB or DC in a year’s time, it’ll be EQ. And it won’t be Prime Minister of Britain, it’ll be Prime Minister of the World. Imagine that…
Anyway, all seriousness. Well played Derry. I don’t begrudge your victory. Belfast gets cars, healthcare, education and the ability to speak coherently. You guys get Halloween.

Mikey is queuing to buy a bâtard in the Somerfield on Burton Road. A man of Oriental heritage is ahead of him in the queue with a trolley full of milk. Fifty-seven 6 pint bottles of milk to be exact and nothing else…
