I always thought I'd be a grown up when I grew up

I've had Media Player set to Queen all day, and Pootle's been singing along. Even when I've been out of the room, I've been able to hear her chirping away happily :)

I think she prefers News of the World and A Night at the Opera to A Day at the Races and Sheer Heart Attack, though she shows a particular fondness for "Killer Queen".

It seems to be me. However, for some unexplained¹ reason, I ended up in Hyde Park watching REM² this weekend, when there were perfectly good Rammstein and Meatloaf concerts on elsewhere.

If I hadn't been comfortably beered³, I'd have realised that getting Separated From The Herd would have been a good thing. Well, the agreed meeting place *was* the Aston Martin garage (Volante & Vanquish atm) :)

Still, saw a Real Live DB9 walking back later - twice - and a Maybach (the car even Mum & Dad would have to sell their house to buy).

Somehow, I avoided getting very interesting suntan lines rom my tshirt-with-cutout-Superman-logo.

And we found singing drunken Australians⁴ on Sunday. Weekends don't get much better than that :)

1 - Well, unexplained other than being invited by minspi. Which is a damn fine reason.

2 - Although the corowd behind us, who were watching the REALLY BIG SCREEN seemed to be watching an entirely different concert, since they were dancing, standing looking bored, and waving camera phones in the air at completely different times from the rest of us. We reckoned they were being shown the previous night's Queen+PaulRodgers show instead. Oh, and despite what the website said, the Zutons weren't on the lineup, and despite what minspi's tshirt said, neither were Tog24.

3 - I blame ukmonty for being in Bath and making - making, I say, me drink his share too.

4 - On top of beer and jugs of cocktails, they had a round of flaming sambucas. One of them at least didn't realise that you extinguish the flame before drinking...
