Friday Frenzy

Jump to Comments

It’s Friday! Hooray! Isn’t that great? Obviously yes it is but the total lack of a plan for the weekend and the confusion which currently reigns is making me feel like this:

Googly eye crazy pastry man

Yes, like a crazy googly-eyed pastry man!

The first possible date is with Stagiaire X, who have just sent me an electronic telecommunication though the ether all the way from the parliament.

Secondly I am torn about tomorrow night. Either I can get organised and go and see up-and-coming Swedish popsters I’m from Barcelon and do a review for the magazine I freelance for sometimes OR I could throw off the mantle of coolness and go and see a bizarre combination of overblown spectacle (Lordi), 80s throwbacks (Kim Wilde) and utter total kitsch (Demis Roussos and Julio Iglesias). How could they possibly improve a bill like this? How could they make this more of an almight rockfest of debauch and musical mayhem than it is already… There’s only one way to put the cherry on this rocktastic cake – SIMPLY RED.

Oh dear God…

There’s also a classical concert in the afternoon with Jose Manuel Barroso and Guy Verhofstadt – be still my beating heart! Actually I’ve got a lot of time for Mr Verhofstadt… However as Matti Vanhanen just got re-elected there is still some considerable competition for ‘Europe’s fittest Prime Minister’.

Thinking about this, whilst measures to celebrate 50 years of the EU vary massively from country to country, nobody has come up with a walk-off  of EU member state Premiers to decide who is the the most swoon-worthy democratically-elected EU head of state/legislature.

And, you know, I would have taken time out to organise it as well – all they had to do was ask…

Anyway, what shall I do? I am panicking, especially as I had a really good time last weekend… Which I shall tell you all about in a moment!

  • Those swedish popsters I’m from Barcelona are just great. Nice hooks and a cute video (on youtube).

    They are the future – the other groups have only a past.
