The Stranglers released their 17th studio album yesterday, and after 17 albums they could be forgiven for going through the motions, however they are sounding as amazing as ever.
I’m sure alot of people discount the band purely because of their age or their name, or a combination of the two, but they are missing out on some really beautiful, accomplished work.
You can’t suppress if you adore, they’ll always keep you wanting more. You see my problem? Well it’s yours too…
I’ve had a few dates over the last couple of months with a lovely Italian girl that lives in York.
She doesn’t give anything away so I’m as in the dark about how I’m doing as anyone, but I do have a few clues that she is not quite as impressed with me as I am with her.
Her ex-husband is a web developer and has earned £200-300 per day on occasions during his career, so she is far from impressed by my rates at Jezebel Design.
The previous time I saw her went ok, although she did go a little shy on me when I asked for a kiss goodnight, which came as a bit of a shock as she is the most confident person I’ve ever met. In fact, shortly after I got my peck on the cheek she noticed a man at a second floor window baring his buttocks and proceeded to whistle so loudly I think most builders would be put to shame.
And the last time we met up we went to the cinema in York and then on to a pub to have something to eat. It was one of those places where you get given a wooden spoon to take to your table. Everything seemed to be going ok despite me beating her, in a very ungentlemanly way, in an arm wrestle, but then I suddenly became conscious of the fact she was hitting me with the wooden spoon. I had half a mind to ask if she was affectionately hitting me with a wooden spoon or just hitting me with a wooden spoon, but I thought I might not like the answer.
Anyway, this is my cowardly way of saying “I may have to put my prices up a little“, but don’t worry, only very slightly and I’m still one of the cheapest you’ll find!!
