Just a quickie...

Local elections

Mood: Grumpy and sleep deprived
Now playing: Titanium (the...erm...Tulisa verion. Sorry.)
Thought for the day: My kingdom for a burger (week 5 of fat loss gym plan)

Helped out as a vote counter at the local elections last night, I covered Didsbury West. Lib Dem were strong but Labour clawed their ground back. Only a 27.9% turnout for our ward so counting was fairly rapid and I was home by 3:30am, wound down and got to bed just after 4am...only to be woken at 8am by the sound of drilling somewhere in the building. Someone is going to burn for this.

This has little to do with the CP except the fact that I got paid a decent amount for a few hours work and this will be going to the wedding funds. I reckon it should at least cover the table centre pieces. Fingers crossed!

First dances - the top 10 of 2012

Apparently, these are the top 10 most popular first dance songs of 2012 so far. This is according to a company who teach people how to dance to their first song. Surely its just a case of "move your feet and wear a pained grin of awkwardness"?

1) ‘Everything’ by Michael fucking Bublé*
2) ‘Let’s stay together’ by Al Green
3) ‘At Last’ by Etta James
4) ‘Amazed’ by Lonestar
5) ‘Make You Feel My Love’ by Adele
6) ‘Greatest Day’ by Take That
7) ‘(I've had) the time of my life’ (from Dirty Dancing)
8) ‘One Day Like This’ by Elbow
9) ‘Better together’ by Jack Johnson
10) ‘You're the first, the last, my everything’ by Barry White

I did groan with each title I read. Fingers crossed we can come up with something a bit more original. I'll let you know if I convince Neil to go with The Timewarp.

* I added the "Fucking" myself. But I bet even his mother utters this when his moon face comes on the telly.
