Britney's in town!

Yep,

The recovering alcoholic, drug user, 5-minute-marriager and Paris Hiltonite has hit the shores of Australia. Thankfully they share as much regard for her as I do. Within hours of landing "Fans" were complaining because she wouldn't sign any autographs. "Fans" because these were 50 year old me, rather well-built and worn very thick glasses....hmmm....there for Britney or the 14 year old?


So other than being followed around by some pedophiles, she was also accused of lip-syncing! I know, I'm thinking the same - how very dare they accuse an institution of US Pop of such a thing. I mean, high energy routines dancing and signing like someones playing her latest album is ridiculous! That's why she's a world star - because she can!


The news is plastered this morning about disenchanted fans that left before the end. One man (glasses and belt size as above) was devistated (!) by the lip-syncing and left after two songs, vowing never to go back to see her. Judging by her rather sharp exit and complaint about the flight over ("It was the longest flight ever") I doubt he'll have to worry too much about her returning any time soon...


The rest of the week has been hot. And by hot I mean, get into a sauna and throw the whole bucket of water on the coals. Lovely during the day, really not nice during the night. Weather aside, we both still work at the respective jobs. Being such a control freak, i'm struggling at the moment. Having no control over anything is a massive worry for me. I was told at 6.45 that things were needed for a wedding that evening at 7.00! The bride and groom didn't have a clue, they were nowhere to be seen all week and then started moaning at me about things I was never told about - I mean really, how can I predict that you wanted your band to set up in front of our fire exit! How very dare I!


Not a lot left to say really, counting the weeks now to exit, might even put a clock up - nah, too much hassle...


A least the boys did the job this weekend. Beating Sunderland 2-0 and even saving a Darren Bent penalty! Last night listening to BBC World service on the way home made me realise how much I need my English TV. To most guys in the UK, last night after a few beers down the pub, BBC1, 10:45pm, bottle of Jack, kebab, fucking comfy chair and Gary Lineker's big floppy ears. Just to throw the real gem in, FA Cup 1st round. January is gonna suck here. I remember sitting up when I was 7 watching Oldham on MOTD FA Cup special. Now, well i'll be on the beach no doubt and waiting for the inevitable text from someone in the UK (Hammers no doubt) that we've been put out by Tooting and Mitchem or god forbid, West Ham.


Either way, I've got my memories ... Is he going to have a crack? He is you know!"
