line of the day – ‘we need a Mott cam’

Basically GV could say to Mott – ‘this smells like Bruce Willis’ arse on a Friday’ and Mott would reply – ‘Yeah I get that’. Here it’s ‘sardines’ that GV bowls out there and the Mottster picks it up immediately! Comedy value very high

MUSIC: Sage Francis, mc chris, my sing-a-long playlist (crooners, Motown, older country, classic rock), and a Brit Pop mix for the driving times. TV/MOVIES: Current shows are back episodes of WLTV, since I only discovered it about a month ago, and “Man to Man with Dean Learner” which is a must if you enjoy the Mighty Boosh/Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Last night's movies were 'The Road' (written by the author of 'No Country For Old Men') and a quirky Japanese horror pic called 'Uzumaki'.
