Love it Phil! Though I think I’ve missed one and could only find 14. My Elton knowledge is probably lacking,
as he was a second or third to the Beatles in our house, and anything from George Harrison, John or Paul. I think Ringo was sadly skipped over- his song writing ability was frankly pretty poor in comparison (sorry Ringo!) My Da was a drummer and singer in his pre-suit years so music in every form is in our veins. Guy used to drive me mental playing spoons at the table at dinner time. . and embarrass the hell out of me when friends came around, singing making dinner. Now I get to do the same to our boy- such evil joy!!
Python was religious viewing in our place too (what a pun!) followed by Fawlty Towers, Kenny Everett, and The young ones-basically anything British.
I’m trying to wean the five year old off Frozen and onto Life of Brian but he’s having none of it. I’m a Brit kid (parents/grandparents and whole clan are from the Midlands) which strangely has helped with dealing with the big C. Our default position is to laugh, banter and brush off anything in life with caustic wit. My Aussie background friends look at me like I’m mental when I say ‘it’s better than a slap in the face with a wet fish’- damn you Da! Damn you!
The anaphylaxis sounds grim, I can’t imagine it- but do have a lip swelling/gut exploding intolerance to seafood so feel for you. I wouldn’t exactly pass out, but I may liquify my bowels and cease to exist.
the only up side is... um, no hangovers or food poisoning from dodgy oysters. I’m reaching. Some things just suck.
you know what doesn’t suck though? Sundays. Sundays are good! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
