High Anxiety

[Elphinstone's Army]

Is anyone else feeling anxious/uncertain/nervous/trepidatious/concerned about the vote today, one way or the other?

I am seriously considering two Kalms or maybe find the brandy I know is in the cupboard under the sink at the back in the corner.

Which is pitiful really when I see the pictures of cars submerged, polling stations closed through flooding and trains cancelled and people wading through fords to vote.

And I had only to walk 2 mins on damp pavement. I have enjoyed the debates, thank you, mostly reasoned arguments, passionately put, all thought provoking, some erudite, some not so much, all courteous, a credit to the Forum.

I have 'You can't always get what you want' in my head, and have to believe the truth of the following line,

but if you try sometime,

you just might find,

you get what you need...

I saw the thread subject and naturally thought you were going to be discussing one Mel Brooks funniest movies. Disappointed you weren't.

'And I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration

If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"'

and

'I saw (her) today at the reception

In (her) glass was a bleeding man

(She) was practiced at the art of deception

Well I could tell by (her) blood-stained hands'

[Elphinstone's Army]

Jah Lush, I swear it was deliberately provocative, in order to draw you out... I watched the clip thank you, the wonderful Madeline Kahn, well all of them, what a romp.

Of course there is nothing preventing You from discussing it ?!

Should I take it that you are not anxious, merely miffed disappointed yet equable? I will be drinking alone at this rate.

[Louisa]

You certainly aren't drinking alone. I'm on the Malbec, which considering the weather is quite unusual for me.

Louisa.

I'm too chilled out to suffer anxiety attacks. I'm not anxious, miffed or disappointed either. The film's great. Very funny. Not seen it in years. I lent the copy I had on tape to someone years ago and never got it back. I won't now coz he's dead. That's totally chilled out. I'm merely moribund.

Yes, I could murder a pint... and several more too.

yes, is this from memory? Let it Bleed, wonderful stuff,

remember the steel fronted Chelsea Drug Store, the Bach Choir and Madeline Bell singing backing,

I suppose you know it

was Delia Smith baked (and decorated) the cake?!

Mr Jimmy was the guy playing the drums?

Jimmy Miller indeed played drums on the track. He produced the album too.

Very underrated grape. Argentinian Malbec is especially good - and cheap!

[Jah Lush]

Absobloodylutely.

[rendelharris]

Arrgh stop talking about it you swines, for some of us it's still five hours to P&P (polling then pint)! Making the old throat feel like sandpaper just thinking of it!

hello Louisa, how are you holding up? yes it's heady, in this humid weather, but what the hell,

Cheers !!

[LondonMix]

God, are people planning to stay up until the results are in? I wasn't planning to but it seems like everyone I know is.

Still at work so don't feel anxious yet. Our projects in part depend on the vote so its a pretty chilled out day as we are all just waiting to see which of two courses we take starting tomorrow towards the rest of the year.

[Seabag]

Think of the hype towards 'The Milenium Bug' malarkey

Oh then world was about to end, then the clocks flipped 00.01 and all was much as it was before

Try a paper bag, it's meant to work wonders

You sure your not confusing being self-medicated with being chilled out as your analysts might say.....if you had one

Unfortunately, I'm almost completely straight these days. Can't afford the Persians anymore since I stopped working.

Many years ago I spoke with a trick cyclist and he chucked a snooker ball at me and asked me to 'peel it.' I chucked it back at him and said 'you peel and I'll eat it.' So that went well.

Always thought mr Jimmy was Jimmy hendrix

hello Alice, I think perhaps we were meant to? but Hendrix lived in Mayfair on Brook Street, in a house formerly occupied by Handel. So I am not sure that if he was ill he would be standing in line in Chelsea, it's a bit of a bus ride, even allowing for artistic licence,

but Steveo would know this.

Where is he when you need him?

How on earth did you find this? it's really interesting. I thought at first it was tenuous, but there is no reason why it cannot be true? thanks.

Alice inspired me - realised I've listened to and played that song a thousand times but never really thought about who Mr.J might be!

[Jah Lush]

Blimey! That's news to me, never heard about that guy and I consider myself an expert on the Stones. Still, it does say at the end of that wiki piece "The veracity of these claims is disputed. "Mr. Jimmy" more likely refers to Rolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller." So I reckon I'm correct.

[Elphinstone's Army]

See ? I was right to be anxious, and at least I was distracted by Jimmy s and drumming and drugs. Not enough, sadly but thank you anyway.

Hendrix lived in Brook Street in a house next door to the Handel House
