WHAT A MISTAKE-A TO MAKE-A
It seems that, as I scan a weary, Christmas-fatigued eye over the *blogosphere* everyone is posting YouTube clips because it's the season to be jolly/informal/not make much of an effort/walk around with a permanent hangover.
... and I have been posting really long, reflective, soul searching, worthy, but tedious posts AND I bother to do a spellcheck after I've typed them! I'm really out of the loop. Where's my sense of fun?
Look, I attempted to do a short, suitably festive post involving a YouTube clip - and my efforts were thwarted!
I was trying to demonstrate in a pictorial/YouTube clip fashion a "celebrity lookalike". I wanted to show how much Brandon Flowers of The Killers looks like Captain Alberto Bertorelli from 'Allo, 'Allo.
It would have been hilarious. Trust me on this.
... but could I find a picture of either Brandon Flowers wearing his military-style feathered jacket or Captain Alberto Bertorelli from 'Allo 'Allo wearing his actual military feathered jacket? In fact, it's virtually impossible to find a picture of ANYONE wearing a military-style feathered jacket on Google Images!
All I can say is ... I TRIED. My endeavours came to nothing.
However, I promise to come up with some bumper fun seasonal posts which are the equivalent of those pictures you see on the front of festive crossword books - y'know, a photo of a wholesome blonde woman with nice tidy hair and a red lipsticked smile wearing a Santa hat.
In the mean time, here's perky Anthea Turner. She'll certainly cheer you up. Carry on having fun.
Carry on having fun.
CARRY ON HAVING FUN.
