BRIAN BLOODY BLESSED!

I'm going to intersperse this blog with more anecdotes, little stories and musings about my day. It seems more like the kind of thing that should be in a blog; my entries tend to read more like a column in The Guardian or something. Not that I'm complaining about that - I'll still do those on occasion - but I feel that I should make this blog a bit more personal, a bit more up-to-date and relevant to recent occurances in my own life.

For example, today I was at school, and there was a two-hour period where I didn't have any lessons. I was sat in the common room, getting slightly bored. So I got the old laptop out, and mow me down and call me a haystack if I didn't find what I believe the youngsters today call an 'internet gem' on the BBC website.

Five words, people, five words. Well, four words and a number. Well, four words and a Roman numeral.

BRIAN BLESSED AS HENRY VIII.

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes fucking yes. Yes.
Yes.
Just... yes.
And then I played the video, and my excitement was magnified further. It is just marvellous. It is essentially an excuse to film BRIAN BLESSED hamming it up, shouting and acting like a bearded child, and because it's BRIAN BLESSED, of course it's the epitome of magnificence.

Oh, just go and watch it. Now. Bye.
