Birdie has been discussing singing the words of one song to the tune of another and then not being able to get it out of your head. I have a dilemma regarding a similar issue.
Last year Mr Farli got "Santa Baby" hardwired into his internal jukebox. Rarely would an hour go by without a rendition. The trouble was, 1) he hates the song and 2) he only knows the first 2 lines. The look of disgust on his face increased daily until about February when he finally got rid of it from his subconscious. My sister and I found it funnier and funnier every time.
My question is this - (when) should I remind him of this? It might be kinder to leave it until the shops begin their christmas music, but then I might miss his realisation that he is stuck with it again.
When I was shopping on Saturday, I saw a pair of pink slipper socks with Santa Baby written on them. I want to buy them for my sister, but the danger is that Mr Farli will see them and be triggered.
Anyway, that is by the by. I really wanted to join Bimble in discussing Strictly Come Dancing.
On Saturday, a social life crept up on us which meant that we were standing in a field watching our taxes go up in smoke instead of being in front of the tv with Bruce, Tess et al. We were back early enough to catch the results show (and watched the dances on Sunday afternoon on video). I am proud to report that we had the laptop downstairs updating Mr Farli's Strictly site in (almost) real time. Can't recall the site address at the moment, but I'll ask Mr F when I see him.
Don't believe everything the BBC Strictly site tells you about the scores. We were checking them against the video yesterday and there were a few errors. I do realise that most people will not care about this. The trouble with an obsessive mindset is that the little things do matter, particularly when there are two of you with a similar obsession.
I particularly enjoyed Robin Hood this week - I have always wondered what a pre-industrialised mine looks like when playing computer games involving them (eg Settlers 3, 4, or Heritage of Kings). Alas, Torchwood was not as satisfying. I agree with Kercal regarding the too obviously inserted post-watershed scenes - yuck. There are some things that do not need to be explained in graphic detail.
This evening I am going ice skating - how exciting. I must ensure that my essays are in a suitable state that any bumps and bruises will not impact too heavily on deadlines.
