Orange Madness And Kapranos Goes Aristo

Evening,

As long term readers will be aware I am a martyr to my nerves so you can imagine the state I was in yesterday when a Drumcree style siege occurred yards from Clairwil towers on Glasgow's High St. There I was minding my own business, parading about my house in a kimono imagining I was a geisha when I heard an Orange walk pass. I went to the window only to confronted with a very smart flute band being followed by the scum of the earth. The scum of the earth then proceeded to make monkey noises at two black students who had foolishly decided to cross the road at this point. I have to say I was very disappointed by the shiny new anti racist police failing to respond to this at all, especially as I was hanging out the window shouting 'baton the fascists.'

Anyway after that the whole situation descended into farce when the walk tried to continue straight down the High St rather than turn the corner onto Bell St.It was fucking hilarious,police vans screeched across the High st and blocked them in and a fifteen minute stand off ensued.A few of the band tried to break through police lines whilst the rest of the band played top and totally non-bigoted tunes like 'Follow Follow' and that shite about
'being up to the knees in fenian blood'.And people wonder why I despair for humanity.

Moving on to posher matters, I read in todays paper that Mr Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand has purchased a mansion in Dumfrieshire. I have no objection to this in principle, the man is entitled to spend his wages how he likes, I just wonder what made him leave Glasgow. After all there are a fair few mansions scattered about our outskirts and some very swish houses in the suburbs. Could it be that he wants to live somewhere nice, perhaps somewhere you can walk about unmolested by junkies? This is what gets my goat about these people,42 year old,
rich boy Kapronos can swan about writing songs about his junkie pal Robert Anderson whilst the rest of us who live here need to put up with Mr Anderson's thieving ways and Kapranos/Derbyshire is miles from the consequences. Of course if any of the members of Franz Ferdinand really wished to help their 'misunderstood' junkie pal they'd pay for him to go through rehab rather than buy mansions.Instead they write derivative wee tunes to show off about being pals with a real life junkie.

Cheerio
