I Think Winter Has Arrived
Today saw a tired and fatigued Goldeneye wearing scarves once more !
Battling against the wind and rain, summer, clearly was over.
Halcyon days when looked back on, very pleasant indeed.
I am also reminded of the Grand Goldeneye Plan to change the world, if you missed it, check it out at the bottom of this post a classic! and worth reading, I hope.
Life will be different once again, I shall miss the warm weather and everything that goes with it.
I may consider a bout of SAD (seasonal affective disorder) although the idea of being depressed is now depressing me - so perhaps I’ll select another ailment, something more exotic!
Either way, one thing is for sure, the summertime Goldeneye picture will have to go and a suitably scarved wintertime shot will have to take over.
As the curtain closes on the sunny season I should perhaps roll the credits and thank those involved in making it a pleasant summer for me but it would run too long.
So, if you fall into, or are associated with, any of the following groups or products, in no particular order, you have my thanks
-
Family, friends and neighbours
People I met when walking (owners of Alsatian dogs excepted)
Henri Lloyd polo shirts and transglobe boots
All the local kids - nothing like as horrific as they might have been
All those who have fed and watered me
Girls everywhere who dressed as Hot Chicks!
Anyone who bought a book
Anyone who sold me a book
My affiliate and revenue share partners
The wine producers of France
If you don’t fit into any of the above then I would be expected to apologise but in reality you probably didn’t do enough for me - or you were, perhaps, forgettable.
Next summer you may get the opportunity to redress this balance and make the list.
Remember:
Ask not what you can do for your country
but what can you do for Goldeneye !

Winter’s here-thank god! No more sweating half my body weight every night (still think Mr.Chapman of Lincoln should try it) I shall remember summer for two things; (1) fat birds wearing crop tops (2) customers at lunch asking what soup we are serving when it is 28 degrees outside-the same ones who moan when we say we don’t serve melon in January (or any other month!)
Remember to get well wrapped up for sunday, don’t want Mother worrying!!

you’ve displayed this selfish behaviour before in re the weather.
You must think of others, i.e. me !

The temperature is about to soar in your neck of the woods … the witching hour approaches. We are, all three, devoted to the culinary arts after giving up black magic ….. and milk tray for that matter, don’t tell Damon. We may try to prize out of you a few secrets in the kitchen …. it might be unwise to resist! WoE

Witches,
Take my advice, give up the culinary arts and go back to the spells, there’s more money in it! Let me know when you are running low on rabbit’s tails and chicken feet and I’ll have a word with Alan the Butcher, I’ve told Ted the Grocer to stock up on the garlic in case you frighten me again!

We’ll be there just as soon as Iron Balls McGinty, the Mechanic, has souped up our transportation.
As for garlic supplies … don’t count on Ted, since the arrival of Miss Wold he’s been feverish, his one good eye has that far away look and he’s developed a limp …. WoE

Friv Rod.
Winter is here indeed, but on the plus side:
No more:….
1. Horrendous flip flops.
2. Fat women wearing leggings. Shops shouldn’t allow it!!
3. Beer bellied man with tops off.
4. Pigeon chested men with tops off.
5. Free loading scum sat in beer gardens whilst I work.
6. Flies
7. People wearing shorts.
8. Warm drinks in wine bars
I rest my point!

the arbiter of taste and elegance!
Absolutely, there should be a law which stops certain types of clothing being manufactured above size 10 ! (i’ll perhaps push it to 12 to avoid a lynching)
One thing I have never understood is:
why things like skin tight leggings and shorts tend to be worn by girls who should not but the majority of girls who can pull it off don’t wear it !
I think we should be told !
Enjoy the weekend

Hi Jordan ,
Ref :

Nothing wrong with fat women wearing leggings ,
Its great for a bloke who is married to a fat woman .
You take her shopping and she can never find anything to fit !
Great !
You just say ” shame” i would have bought you that ”
Which means us blokes then have more money to spend in the beer garden .

Re Mr Chapman’s comment:

One would think that at his time of life, the first two are indeed out of the picture (and have been since he left school!) and the latter is superfluous to requirements!
Re: Mick’s comment, surely out of my list you must come under number 3 & 5 then? Maybe a gym membership for you both would be in order?!!
Re Rod: Why things like skin tight leggings and shorts tend to be worn by girls who should not, but the majority of girls who can pull it off don’t wear it !
Answer: The majority of girls who can pull it off dont wear it, as they are probably 16 and got a toddler in tow and pushing a pram, meeting their free-loading boyfriend in the beer garden, to get drunk and ‘high’ with their free money, and then return to procreate more in their free house!
Don’t mean to offend, but if i do, get over it! If i have hit a raw nerve, then it must be true.

Rod, is there a Goldeneye Winter Plan?
Jordan said,
October 6, 2006 @ 2:18 pm
Why, thank you. I always aim to be politically incorrect, but of course correct at the same time !
Forgot to mention ‘Our Man in the Kitchen’
Your a Chef! Did you really expect it to be cool in a kitchen?! Stop whinning and get on with it!! It stops you becoming a Number 3 & 5.

WoE
I am weighing up several options for a winter plan, one involves doing some work so I am being cautious.
I may go for a walk now and formulate a few possibilities

If you can’t stand the heat …….
It must be hot in kitchen’s though, because every time the bestest chef in the history of the world ever is on the telly he takes his shirt off on camera, without fail.
Maybe Gordon Ramsay is to girls what hot chicks are to boys
