Treated myself to a lunchtime screening of The Naked Gun. Not quite giddy silliness but plenty of laughs. Well worth a watch.

Talking to a friend’s partner and she says:

I teach bottom sex.

Me: yay ! Good for you !

As she talks more, I realise she’d said ‘bottom sets’.

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long but today I finally saw Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. Only ticket left was in front row of Kino Babylon 2 so I was pressed up against the screen, neck craned. But still wow wow wow ! Will be watching it again as soon as I can - but many rows back !

My comprehensive school in the early 1980s was very proud of its ‘language lab’. Did the fashion pass and if so when !

Flashback: sitting in the school dentist’s chair (yes they used to send dentists into state schools !)

Dentist: who’s that on your badge ?

Me: Debbie Harry.

Dentist: oo do you fancy her?

Me: no I want to be her.

Dentist silent for rest of session!!
