Wash Away Sir Ian Blair, Kthanx
Quote of the moment:
I got troubles oh, but not today
Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away
And I have sins Lord, but not today
Cause they're gonna wash away
They're gonna wash away
And I had friends oh, but not today
Cause they're done washed away
They're done washed away
And oh, I've been cryin'
And oh, I've been cryin'
And oh, no more cryin'
No, no more cryin' here
We get along Lord, but not today
Cause we gonna wash away
We gonna wash away
And I got troubles oh, but not today
Cause they gonna wash away
This old heart gonna take them away
- Wash Away by Joe Purdy, from the end of today's E4 re-run of Lost.
Random mini-rant, sparked by seeing it still going on yesterday: Sir Ian Blair's comments on how media coverage varies with the ethnicity of the victim and the ensuing debate: Cobblers. Media coverage varies with the wealth/fame/attractiveness of the victim, as it does with anyone not considered a victim. Thus, to use his examples, the rich white banker and the poor asian shop owner got different amounts of coverage for their respective murders because of much money they had. Nicholas van Hoogenstraten having an Asian rival property magnate killed: big coverage: the victim was rich AND so was the killer. Ricky Gervais and the identity fraud: he's famous. Similarly Jade Goody "forgetting to pay" for some George cardigan in Asda: wouldn't make national newspapers unless she was famous. Just to round things out, on the attractiveness side of things, there's "cokehead Kate" Moss who fills all three requirements for coverage and therefore made the front page.
When come back, bring non-politically-correct-full-fat-GM-pork-filled-made-in-Leicester-not-Melton-Mowbray PIE.
P.S. On the topic of getting washed away, Cambridge did exactly that in the Boat Race.

:O LOST re-runs?! Phwoar. I'd like a bit of that. The point of this comment was so that you could observe my new profile pic, coz I know you always do.
I know rooms in halls only have room for a bed, a desk and a cupboard, but you still seem to be in a "voulez-vous couchais avec moi?" pose in almost all of them. I think you should post a revue (list) so I can compare and contrast (and make rude comments).
My French fails me.. Yet again. I know it's in that song.. But what does it meeeeean? "But it doesn't MEAN anything." "So we put in words, one word, for every note." Oh good God. I should go to sleep.
(roll-eyes)...
"Will you come to bed with me?"
In other words they mostly involve your bed :p
and u seem to have "come to bed eyes" in many of them!
not that im ganging up with will against u!
Exactly. Exactly what I meant. See?!
