A day for ominous silences and regretful glances, a day for pent up lusts to manifest as manufactured love in the hope of sex to come. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/J8ku9MjWnMo/what_if_saint_valentine_was_on.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/02/what_if_saint_valentine_was_on.html Thu, 14 Feb 2008 11:23:02 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/02/what_if_saint_valentine_was_on.html Anyone watch the Superbowl last weekend? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/YQdhXb6ZF8Y/can_you_not_sit_and_watch_with.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/02/can_you_not_sit_and_watch_with.html Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:31:40 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/02/can_you_not_sit_and_watch_with.html I've been a naughty boy. I've not been keeping up my visits to this blog, in fact I have been giving my self to another! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/F1SdfX_YYWs/the_places_ive_been_the_things.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/02/the_places_ive_been_the_things.html Thu, 07 Feb 2008 12:34:07 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/02/the_places_ive_been_the_things.html I was in Rigby's on Dale Street the other night and Stan Boardman was in there having a stand-up arguement with Ken Dodd (well, it kind of looked like them). Doddy wasn't convinced about the whole Capital of Culture idea and Stan was putting him straight: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/JwnXr5pRvQs/gather_the_gold_while_its_flow.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/01/gather_the_gold_while_its_flow.html Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:45:57 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/01/gather_the_gold_while_its_flow.html Merry New Year. After a brief sojourn away from the keyboard I'm back for the crux of this blog, namely 2008. What's going on, does the city feel any different and what's the point of it all anyway? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/87OSqJynljA/birth_of_a_culture_capital.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/01/birth_of_a_culture_capital.html Wed, 02 Jan 2008 16:59:02 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2008/01/birth_of_a_culture_capital.html I saw a firework, dead, burnt, on the street. I reflected on how sad its resting place, how briefly it had burned and now how ignominous its fall. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/BvKKbL2LHGA/its_better_to_burn_out_than_to.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/11/its_better_to_burn_out_than_to.html Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:56:36 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/11/its_better_to_burn_out_than_to.html The other night, I thought I'd kicked someone's head off. It was the day before Bonfire Night and strange sounds and lights filled the air.

An interesting work, it told me much that explained the strange actions of this inimitable politician. I can't vouch for the validity of the work, but it is interesting nonetheless. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/dBII2vlbAe4/on_the_george_known_as_gallowa.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/10/on_the_george_known_as_gallowa.html Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:31:41 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/10/on_the_george_known_as_gallowa.html Dear reader, I am writing to you while eating steamed toast!

Apparently it set out to reminisce with its viewers on the subject of good old fashioned British comics. Everything from the Beano and Commando, to Roy of the Rovers and the Beezer. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/mysQQOkxYas/comical_conventions_and_the_de.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/09/comical_conventions_and_the_de.html Mon, 17 Sep 2007 12:41:43 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/09/comical_conventions_and_the_de.html Summer finally came to our shores and for a few brief weeks that dazzling orb near blinded my eyes and scorched my skin. I had to crawl, friends, crawl on my belly deep beneath the rocks I call home and wait the summer out. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/rfPnjZ5T77o/now_that_nobodys_listening_i_c.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/09/now_that_nobodys_listening_i_c.html Wed, 12 Sep 2007 17:27:54 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/09/now_that_nobodys_listening_i_c.html Things I've noticed in the papers today: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/zF2Nd2YciFY/media_musings_for_today.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/07/media_musings_for_today.html Fri, 13 Jul 2007 12:31:10 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/07/media_musings_for_today.html (...continued) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PaulBakersGrumblingAppendix/~3/u97tFnGZbjc/give_just_an_hour_of_your_life.html http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/07/give_just_an_hour_of_your_life.html Sat, 07 Jul 2007 09:38:58 +0000 http://paulbaker.merseyblogs.co.uk/2007/07/give_just_an_hour_of_your_life.html
