Ballad of Britain

Have you seen this book on Amazon?

Yes?
Well you know that guitar/tree thing?
I drew that.
Yes.
Really, I did.
Look:

It's about music and that. Jarvis Cocker is something to do with it, I think. I'm not really sure.
There's a CD too.
There's more information here.

Here are two also rans for my contribution:

Daily Draw: 17.05 - 21.07

My friends own percolators, my friends are sophisticated

The Apprentice was like a religion in our house, even though it's over-rated

Adam Buxton showed us all the youtubes he enjoys

Charlotte has need to hold on to all her childhood toys

People who live in little villages still get iPods and Apple Macs

I might have a small beer on a small Thursday, to relax

In May there was nothing to do, nothing but barbecue

I am reading proper books, or at least I'm starting to

At Charlotte's house we have to watch Desperate Housewives

At our house we watch what we're told to watch by Guardian Guides

The Apprentice was like a religion in our house, even though it's over-rated

We bought and we watched Twilight just to keep ourselves updated

Eternal Sunshine is not so new when you remember Total Recall

Riddles round the bonfire with stranger gastro-hippy people

I ordered risotto but what I meant was: ravioli

A Jarvis Cocker concert is just slightly rock and rolly

We need a British Simpsons because Homer is not ours

Sunday is for BNP Wives and then it's for guitars

You should always cheer the screen if you're perched on Henman Hill

And cheer the screen if your town's on it, like Bristol in Psychoville

On a Friday we make gnocchi because we are sophisticated

Washing up is part of cooking, so my mum has always stated

Greg moved in and there's always room, even though he's very tall

At Anova they've a ping-pong table in the entrance hall

Venus tells Serena that "the ball is in your court"

Petroleum spirit, highly inflammable: poem of the forecourt

Riding on a tube's like being the prize inside a cracker

To celebrate nothing at all we had lunch out, in Wahaca

I saw a pro-pirate lecture from "Mr. Twitter", Stephen Fry

I saw my housemates watch a film they'd bought called Eagle Eye

At Latitude we saw poets and I thought I could do what they did

My friends own percolators, my friends are sophisticated

The Apprentice was like a religion in our house, even though it's over-rated

An army of frogs


Slimy, green. Legs strong, eyes round.
A military collective noun.
