Thunderstorms alert tonight (06/08)

Thanks Clair.

Doesn't surprise me at all, it's been VERY hot here again today (I'm in 65) despite already having had a BIG thunderstorm last night - lots of small branches etc on the roads this morning and we lost the electricity several times last night.

On the plus side the rain filled up our rainwater collection tank again so the veggies will be well-watered for a bit longer! (one of our - very few - regrets about our house is the lack of a well)

Well I've battened down the hatches and I'm typing this from under the table, if it's worse than last night then I'm taking no chances.  I have room for a couple more if anyone is frightened, you'll have to excuse the dogs, goats (the male of which  is finding the heat is affecting his hormones) , chickens and guinea pigs though, they don't like it and have bagged the best spots!

I should warn you that the goat has a tendency to grunt a lot, lick your sides and jump on your back, well that's what he does to the poor female - does that matter?

[quote user="cassis"]So - what are you going to do? [8-)]
[/quote]

I'm through with standing in line
to clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to be

(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me

(Tell me what you need)

I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free

(I'll have a quesadilla on the house)

I'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

Sounds perfect - what do you charge?

[quote user="Panda"]Ha!  Great idea, how much would you pay?  Another note of warning though, he has extremely large horns and was equally well served when all the other bits were given out, if you get my drift![/quote]

I"ve got my 10 centimes at the ready and I'm braced.

Bring it on, big boy.

Top song, too - but that video?  [+o(]

Its our annual commune fest-noz tonight so thank goodness we are a long way from the storms although its raining heavily at the moment but due to go for the late afternoon. It'll be moved to a neighbouring commune who have a larger sports hall than us so the logisitics have to be worked out well beforehand to get all the sound system and group's stuff shifted. Hope all of you in the alerte regions don't suffer too much.

At the moment there must be millions of people under canvas on holiday....I feel sorry for them.....the camp sites dont like you digging a trench round your tent to run the water off like we used to in the Scouts .........must be many who woke up in soggy sleeping bags !
