He's so dreamy!

Last night I had a dream about Mark Strickson, in which he co-presented a segment of 'This Morning' with Eamonn Holmes. About spacehoppers. And halfway through, shortly after Eamonn had commented that he hadn't changed a bit and had quite nice cheekbones, Stricko mutated into Harry Enfield's 'Kevin the Teenager', complete with dubious 1992-esque dayglo hoodie.

My subconscious is just rubbish. Finally a dream Stricko comes to visit, and is there exciting bondage and naughty ginger fun? No. There's daytime telly and some zits.

(Eamonn was right about the cheekbones, mind.)

In other thrilling news:

* BF audio Omega = work of genius. Consume at earliest opportunity. It will make your head go pop.

* Kinda = really much worse than I remember. The eerie Tegan mindmelt stuff is fantastic, and Hindle is brilliantly nuts (once one bypasses the 'but you are DCI Jack Meadows, wtf?' business), and I quite like the pith helmets. But Adrian Mills in a beach towel is too troubling, what with him being a crazy tribal bloke, and not a git in a suit reading out letters from Mrs Biddulph in Kettering who sent us this photograph of an amusingly shaped vegetable. (Warning: this reference is for Old People only. Youth Of Today, stand well back.)

* All Creatures Great and Small is more wonderful than anything else in the whole wide world. Not least the one where Tristan goes off to shag some nurses do his exams in Edinburgh and gets replaced by Richard Carmody, who turns out to be none other than spooky Marriner from Enlightenment. Michael Sheard's in it as well for full Who crossoverness. And James falls in poo. You can't ask for more than that.

* Peanut butter on crumpets is a meal, right?

hmm. The Chess idea does have its merits though...you can bet on chess. It should be fairly easy to transcribe the standard betting rules of a chess game from money into a more *ahem* wearable commodity...

STRIP CHESS! STRIP CHESS!

*fires up PSP enthusiastically*

Cow-fisting icons for strip chess fic seems an excellent trade, oh yes.

I've already started writing it...it's perfect! A cerebral activity with added smut. Plus there's the bonus that if you're on a losing streak, there's a far greater chance that your opponent will become distracted, thus changing the whole dynamic of the game...

Oh joy! What a wonderful thing. Plus we all know the way Turlough likes to toy with his pieces, stroking them with his long fingers like...hang on, this is your job...:P

I'm having crashing computer fun, which is less pleasing. Let's try that again, shall we, annoying software?

I'm desperately googling at the moment - I've got it set they're playing without the pieces on the board, and I'm far too used to moves like e4, e5 rather than "rook to queen four" and trying like fuck to find an older-school mapping to describe the moves.

In amongst two stripping gentlemen.

OK, I don't know where my icon-making mojo went tonight, but here, for your delectation, the shitest icon what I have ever made!
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Followed by a marginally less shite one:

I think it was all that talk about stripping gentlemen: you were right, most distracting.

If I promise to make less crap ones tomorrow, can I have some strip chess porn, please?
