It's Friday....So Patricia Neal Sood Still

Well it is Friday so I'm going to let you in on some of what I got up to this week and linked into what happened last weekend.

As Patricia Neal, who died during the week, starred in The Day the Earth Stood Still it is just cause to show you this which mentions her co-star Michael Rennie in the opening line.



As Mat Bowles who gets my hat tip says it isn't perfect in places but good none the less. But hey as it was the tenth anniversary of H2G2's Scottish Researchers Group last Saturday it is also an excuse to link to something I wrote earlier in another place.

Of course as well as H2G2 last weekend I also combined it with Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy, of course not for the first time. His jazzed up performance of the song that merges the two doesn't have the visuals but here is the opening version of the song that goes with the immortal toast.



In my post earlier this week I did mention that the Skye Boat Song was something that Rupert Murdoch didn't own, so I was considering posting a version of it here. After all, Edinburgh's Tattoo is on at the moment, you can hardly move on the High Street and if you are trying to get around at the wrong time of the evening at the top of the Royal Mile or thereabouts forget it. But I thought of something a little more upbeat was appropriate.

It's Friday so...Something for the Weekend

It has been a while since I did one of these, but as it is 5 pm and Friday you know what that means, time for the weekend to begin.

I'm going to take a look first off at some things related to some of this weeks news and blog posts. First I posted about the Ayotollah's decision that music was not to be promoted or taught in Iran. As One Ex-Widow said in the comments no doubt this Blurred Vision track will definitely not been on his list of revolutionary hymns and anthems.



One thing we learnt in Belfast this week with the passing of Alex Higgins is that they are still all snooker loopy.



But it is Friday night which a friend of mine on Facebook always declares as wine o'clock. Please forgive me if I partake in a little gin, I just hope I don't get soaked in it as I'm off to Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh to see this live.



Better take the National Express then really shouldn't I?
