dkpw – Wicked Fire

Actor Karl Malden has died at 97 and provided me with my 7th point for this year. He had a nose for great parts.

What’s that sticky patch on my matress?

Kraftwerk, the German electronic synth-maisters auch Dosseldorf, are shite – apart from Das Modell.

If I ever were to dance again, it might, just might be to La Bella Cubana by the Buena Vista Social Club – I would, regardless, look like a complete tit.

Don’t dictate, don’t dictate, don’t dictate, dictate to me.

Football – a game supported and played by morons.

Life is better now I’ve trimmed my chest hair.

If people could see me, at home, they would be shocked.

I’m bidding on this little beauty on eBay. It’s madness but I don’t care.

I’ve previously posted about the Speedy as we in the watch world call it - click here for a brief description. You will of course guess that I have overcome all of my reservations about it, mostly because even, assuming I win it, after paying all of the import duty and VAT I will still have saved about £900 on a new model. Plus I’m just doing my small bit to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landings.

And for those that are interested in such things, this is an Omega Speedmaster Professional “Moon” Watch -  Model 3570.50 containing the manual wind calibre 1861. This model features a Hesalite crystal which is shatter-proof compared to sapphire crystals used on modern watches.

Four days to go on the auction though…

When the cretinous behaviour of some of my fellow human beings gets too much – I reach for my iPod and my latest app – iBonsai.

Ah the peace and tranquility.

This weekend I have been mostly listening to Bach’s Little Fugue in G Minor – BWV 578. It is sublime. I should be buried to this. No priests please.

Follow it if you wish.

To display my artistic side, is both revealing and cathartic. It is of course a blessing for you lot. So here’s a picture taken in London in 2002 with a friend’s camera. She had the most pneumatic and beautiful lips on the planet. They were astonishing and she hated them – crazy mixed up kid. Shame.

Dead workmen.

So Michael Jackson is dead.

The most talented and awe inspiring musician and performer of all time…

A pill-popping, surgery addicted, debt ridden spendaholic, child abuser?
