bits bobs and hand jives

Right as the sticky belly pork is cooking away some points and bits about the last few weeks that I should mention just to remind myself of what was happening when I reread this in years to come when the machines have taken over ( and I for one welcome our new metal overlords).
Anyway
For the last few Fridays me and T.O.H have been having dance classes, thankfully its not to re enact that bit in dirty dancing at the end (as I dont think T.O.H could pick me up after a running jump anyway) but for 1950's jive dancing (and not like this more this ) so we've been practicing the superwomen, hand push, waste bin and what not which is all going surprisingly well especially when I often have the grace of a drunken sloth. The big question is what exactly I should wear to the end disco tech thingy bowling shirt, Hawaiian shirt? strippy T shirt? Suggestions are welcome

Oh and saw A prophet the other week.... A seriously very good, hard hitting film, theres a ton of reviews out there that can explain it better than I, see it but be warned.

You might have heard but the BBC have made the decision to close 6 music and the Asian network station. Which seems so amazingly bad its almost funny; as the drive to get us all to buy into DAB radio, closing two of the stations only available on digital and ones that provide an alternative to commercial stations out there seems...well stupid. The news has brought a wave of protest but feel free to add your voice to the crowd. Places where you can hear quality alternative music is few and far between so lets try and keep them going.
A petition to save both stations can be found here
