Trainspotting was on the other night. It is unreal how much I love that film. If there's one film that damn sure makes you want to do heroin, it is that one. The 'choose life' speech at the start with Born Slippy playing is just amazing, it gets me every time. Someone pass me my needle.
I was in York today, which was an extremely welcome change to the desolate pit of pain and distress we call Doncaster. It's really nice in York, but I today realised that it is insanely dear. One place was selling baguettes for a fiver. I felt like just walking in, kicking em in the nuts and leaving. I did not, however, do that. Every time I go to York there always seems to be street performers, and this time was no different. I decided to go watch this man who was all chained up and talking on his mic about how he was gonna escape withing two minutes. Before he started the trick, though, he went on about how people should give him donations for literally ten minutes. That went on for five times as long as the trick. A trick which wasn't even that impressive. I didn't give him a donation. Whilst I'm listing things in York, I was in a sandwich shop and this old man came down and sat next to me, pulled a chair up next to him, and just put his hat on it. A WHOLE CHAIR FOR HIS HAT! God he was cool.
One thing that I did see in Donny (when I was on the bus to town) which did make me pretty happy about this town was what I believe was the opening of the Gurdwara (Sikh church) on the edge of town. There was a right Sikh party going on, I wish I could have joined em. It's a shame that will have been burnt down within a few weeks, when the chavs realise that people who aren't white are practising their faith. Ah well, I suppose we could all just turn to heroin.

Honestly, that Gurdwara looks incredible. It's so beautiful. But yes, as you said, it will probably be destroyed by narrow-minded, racist twats. :(
ReplyDeleteGood blog, Ben. I laughed out loud at "Someone pass me the needle."

intriguing...dislike the comment about the gurdwara however
ReplyDeleteAnonymous person, you're clearly either a racist or you misunderstand me. If you're the latter let me explain.. 90% of Doncaster is made up of ignorant racist chav dicks. These chav dicks do not like Sikhs or Hindus or anything because they think they're all Islamic extremists. Because Doncaster residents are morons. I'm all for the Gurdwara, I'm all for there being several of them. I love cheeky Sikhs.
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by cheeky sikhs...are you a sikh yourself? if the answer is no then how would you no that sikhs are cheeky? have you seen their cheeks?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Sikh, no. But one of my mates is a Sikh and he honestly has the softest cheeks I have ever felt. It is amazing. Silky Sikhy smooth.
ReplyDeletewhat cheeks are we referring to here? does this mean that all non-sikhers have rough cheeks?
ReplyDeleteFacial cheeks, my feathered friend. I dunno, I'm not a Sikh and I have relatively soft cheeks, just not as soft as my Sikh buddy's. Actually, have you ever seen that TV show Blue's Clues? My mate did a spin-off called Sikh's Cheeks.
ReplyDeletecan you possibly ask your sikh 'buddy' if he uses something on his cheeks to get them that soft as im a sikh and my cheeks dont sound as soft as his
ReplyDeleteI will do that for you, my anonymous chum.
