Trafalgar Square, 50 ft high soviet style statue of all the architects of Brexit bearing the legend “Brexit was thanks to usâ€. Everyone can get behind that surely. If Brexit is the success that we are assured it will be then those people are heroes, if not ….. Let history be the judge.
Bulldoze Nelson’s Column to make some room.
Snooker tonight and a crucial frame for both players. I won’t put any spoilers into what happened, but what I am enjoying about the project at the moment is turning my chalking of the snooker stick into a virtuoso musical instrument. Tonight I played along with the theme to the TV show Big Break. I may be wrong, but I think I am the first virtuoso to play that tune.
It’s a great tune, but the lyrics are fun, because they refer to the game of snooker, but if you take snooker to mean fuck then it also is about sex. Look
It's only a game, so
Put up a real good fight,
I'm gonna be snookering (fucking) you tonight.
I'm famed for my aim, so
Y'better believe I'm right,
I'm gonna be snookering (fucking) you,
Snookering (fucking) you tonight!
It’s problematic. The man who wants to snooker you want you to resist him a bit, but only as a game, but he is, I suppose, asking for your consent for that. The bit that worries me is “I’m famed for my aim†which works as a snooker statement, but isn’t something that is so remarkable in fucking. Obviously it’s important to aim your cue (penis) into the pocket (vaginal canal), but it’s not something that is particularly tricky. Most of us may have miscued at some point, but mainly getting it in is the easy bit. Nobody is famed for their ability to aim penis. You might be famed for failing to consistently aim it correctly, but no one is congratulating for getting it right. That’s sort of the low bar of sex, but is important in snookering (snookering).
To be honest they really only seem to have made the snookering bit sexual. If they made it “I’m going to be playing snooker with you tonight†then the chorus would make a lot more sense. You might add, “during which I will be snookering you, but I mean that in the sense of getting the cue ball into a position where you can’t directly hit the ball you need, not fuckingâ€.
Either that or a lot more innuendo. “I’ll be wiping your balls†or “You cue will be getting some action†or “You’ll need a rest (after I’ve snookered you hard)†etc.
Worth bringing back Big Break so we can do this properly.
