Eamonn's Blog


By Eamonn Burgess - Posted on 24 February 2009

This is me trying to write a blog without a grownup to help.

 
Listening to Toby, conscious that I haven't found any Viknig music for Terry, arranging to meet Barry to become a guest at a later date.
 
I have agreed to go without tv for a week with my mate Vic. This will affect my film intake-possibly I will get more dvds out of the library, and maybe I'll listen to more new music. But most likely I won't be able to go a whole week without the gogglebox so I will feel guilty about watching it.
 
I am 52 this Thurs and will go to the Seaside with Lucy. She plays violin in the Red Herrings and hardly ever gets to the flicks so if she can help with the show it will be tangential to any central theme I may get round to.
 
Saw 2 bands this weekend. The Ing Ongs were in a tent off Grapes Hill and Cruising for a Bluesing were down the Eaton Cottage. Must get both to guest on my show.

Crusing for a bluesing - I like it! Bet Bernie D would like them.

Fine T I'll chase this up with B when I track the bands down.

 

New entry. Some of you will remember the double-decker bus that fell down a hole on Earlham Rd back in the '80s. SOme of you will be aware of the pothole in Earlham precinct and how NR2 is blistering with outrage at the human rights abuse inherent in negligent tarmac application. Some of you will have seen the film Titanic.

 

I want to make a film of Norwich's own Titanic disaster. They had the Atlantic Ocean full of icebergs. We had chalk mines under the Golden Triange subsiding, sound similar? We could easily replicate the CGI effects by shoving a child's sit and ride toy bus into the Earlham precinct puddle.

 

They had Kate and Leo flying on the prow of the largest liner on earth then going down below deck for some dancing at a crude racial stereotyping begorrah celidh with the Oirish plebs. We could get my mate Henry to replicate this by playing his harmonica and drinking a 6-pack of Guiness on the lower deck of a bus after the leading couple have played aeroplanes on the upstairs front seat.

 

One of the passengers on the bus was called Troy Kerrison. Fact. Such a Hollywood Blockbuster name. The omens look good.

Watch this space, offer help/ideas, a camera, act in this blistering drama, provide the sit-and-ride bus. If we make it, they will watch it.
