All Things Must Pass

In January 1969, when George Harrison played Macca his demo of All Thing Must Pass (George was pitching songs for the next album), McCartney pretended he could hear the phone ringing in the next room and practically ran out of the room shouting 'I must get that.'
Suffice it to say that Macca and his group didn't get that; instead, George saved it for his own jaw-dropping triple album of the same name he brought out eighteen months later. Much to McCartney's chagrin.
People who have met Paul McCartney will tell you he's shrewd. Well, let me tell you, he ain't that shrewd.

Pink gin. And blue

Typically tropical

Blue for a boy, pink for a girl

Having spent most of yesterday drinking beer - thanks to a new micropub discovery in Nottingham (more details on A Room With A Brew to follow) - I thought I'd take a day off today and...make some Gin Skittle Bombs. Using the same method as the Vodka Skittle Bombs from last week, these two bad boys (OK, one's a girl*) are now in the freezer rubbing shoulders with a bag of frozen peas and a leg of lamb; thinking about it, I think I have all I need there for a near perfect meal next Sunday.

* I should really have made a third, LGBT, bottle and covered all bases. Next time.

If you pick up that telephone

Don't you realise the things we did, we did for real, not a dream

I just can't believe they've all faded out of view

It's like being abroad

Don't leave your sunglasses on the dashboard

The roads are melting, you can fry an egg on the pavement and Asda have sold out of BBQ stuff. And if you’ve left your Aviators on the dash, expect to severely brand the bridge of your nose when you return to the car later and put them back on. Yep, it’s summer.

Cheap & cheerful bottle of vodka + Packet of Skittles = Vodka Skittle Bombs
