I'm currently in a Bed and Breakfast in Weymouth with my friend Vicky, whilst she watches some really weird musical on tv called Camelot which mainly features an old guy repeating the words 'how to handle a woman'. I don't think the song demonstrated how to handle a woman or I suspect the film would've been more successful than it actually was. Plus, the woman in question doesn't look like she really wants to be handled and is in fact just chillin' on a medieval style bed looking pretty bored with life. She's also got shit hair. Anyway, on Monday, I went to Portsmouth to see Noel Fielding and Julian Barrat, aka The Mighty Boosh. If you've never seen The Mighty Boosh before, it's basic silly and ridiculous humour with a cerebral mix of fantasy and weirdness. Colourful costumes, crazy characters, insane adventures and general strange behaviour all ocurr with the 2 main characters Vince Noir (self proclaimed Camden Leisure Pirate) and Howard Moon (self proclaimed Geography teacher lookalike). There's also Bollo the gorilla, Naboo the shaman and Bob Fossil who would be pretty hard to sum up in one word.
It was pretty great overall, although I didn't really know what to expect, as the previous live DVD had taken loads of ideas from the first and second series and mixed them up in to a little story that panned out over 2 and a half hours. This time though, it was more about the characters and little sketches between them rather than any sort of plot. Still, it delivered, and there were lots of the usual classic Boosh jokes ("Don't touch me. Don't ever touch me. ...Heyyy!"). If you are going to see the Boosh on the tour and don't want to know what happens, I suggest you stop reading now!
Spoilers coming up...! So the highlights included The Moon singing 'I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one' (during which I think tear of laughter might have sprung from my eyes), The Crack Fox getting all involved in some 90s dance music, Vince's outfits which were pretty amazing including a big Amy Winehouse style bouffant hair do courtesy of Jean Claude Jaquetti's amazing hairdryer, general Howard-ness (courdroy, elbow patches, dodgy dad jokes and constantly trying to find good comebacks at Vince's jibes) and many more. They even had a live band at the end to perform some of their famous crimps and some songs from all 3 series of the show. So, to sum up; it was great.
The title of this blog however refers not to the musical I'm currently being made to watch, nor the reason why I'm in a B&B in Weymouth (longer story than we have time for folks), nor to The Boosh. It mainly refers to people being dickheads.
So after we went to see The Boosh, me and my friend, her boyfriend and her housemate all went out in Portsmouth. These 2 drunk guys approached where we were sat and basically behaved like a bit of a knob towards said friends housemate and general all round winner. When asked by my friends boyfriend if his mate could stop being a knob, we were greeted with plenty of abuse from both blokes. Not only did this massive idiot decide to grab my friends wrist and get a bit physical but he also saw it fit to tell me to 'shut the fuck up bitch' and also try and shove me back down in my seat when attempting to stand between him and my friends boyfriend (who, for the record didn't want a fight at all). So, why are people such dicks? Okay, so when you've had a few drinks you generally do feel like you can take on the world, but I don't think that's ever an excuse for a) shouting in someones face b) swearing at girls c) grabbing girls by the wrist and attempting to throw them in their seats. Are these people who go out looking for fights inept of social skills or aware of any kind of social boundaries? Probably not. Anyway, that's my rant over. Don't be one of these people.
In case you're itching to know the latest goings on in Camelot, this guy thinks he can serenade anther woman now. She's got slightly better hair and looks like she's enjoying it a bit more, but I don't think she's feeling his padded medeival jacket. OH! Hang on, this news just in, she's just swooned (swoon –verb (used without object) 1. to faint; lose consciousness. 2. to enter a state of hysterical rapture or ecstasy) so she's clearly loving it. You're in there mate.
One last thing, if you like great pop music (and let's face it, who doesn't?) then hop on over to Luke Leighfield's Myspace and listen to 60000 Miles and Have You Got Heart? 2 new songs by an awesome guy by the name of Luke Leighfield (shock lol). He's well talented and great.
Bye! x
