"I’m an outdoor man. I come from Clydebank."

Posted April 27th, early morning.

Currently rewatching the first season of Minder. For reasons I can fully explain, I have a slight obsession with the show's creator, Leon Griffiths. Maybe it's because his parents named him after Trotsky? That really intrigues me. I wish I knew more about his life.

Anyway, the post title is a line from the third episode of season one. From the lips of a stereotypically chippy and alcoholic short-arsed Scotsman. I'm here for that.

The old Terry Wogan tv show . . . . the Cold War Kids have just played their latest single, and then immediately launch into the old Dennis Waterman classic 'I Could Be So Good For' . . . from the side of the stage Bono comes on to share lead vocals with the bum face guy from the Cold War Kids, whilst the tv cameras pan to the side of the stage to show the rest of U2 dancing along to the impromptu cover version . . . Larry Mullen dances like a "groovy rhino".

No, I don't know what it fucking means either.
