Well This Must Be F'ck All...

...Because it's the sum total of what I've achieved.


Anyway somewhere in once of those yesterdays; (http://watchitdie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/operation-misery-month-8-week-2-day-1.html) I remember saying something about not being able to write a review of Rihanna's first South African concert until at least the afternoon unless there's a major crisis. After all it is a poor country and we're all really drunk.

Unfortunately some people took this as a challenge to the very notion that they're poor so I was not only provided with information about Rihanna's Johannesburg concert I was presented with a significant dispute between sources. Anyway I feel comfortable enough to tell you that Rihanna appeared on stage somewhat significantly after the expected 15-20 minutes of lateness to perform the standard set-list. However the big talking point of the evening is that Rihanna dispensed with the usual costumes and instead wore the one outfit throughout the concert.

The exact nature of this 'outfit' which I believe involved black pants, a black sweatshirt, a black sun visor and a horrific amount of fake crystal will of course take me a few moments to delve into fashion. At 01:20 on 14/10/13 I hope you will excuse me after all I've got to finish a zoot.


Edited at around 01:40 on 14/10/13 to add:

Really the nicest thing I could say about Rihanna's 'choice' of outfit is that it looked like any one of her backing singers could have wandered out on stage to have given it a go.

The worst thing I could say is that it looked like any bit of the tat she's brought out for River Island.

However I believe it was intended to resemble the Giveachy designed cloak that  Rihanna normally wears during the opening acts. Therefore I think it was sent to Rihanna by the French house of Givanchy to remind her that the slogan "G4Life" is perhaps not trademarkable. Under those circumstances could you refuse a personal gift from Givanchy?!

Edited again at around 01:50 on 14/10/13 to add;

Yeah I think the point I was generally working up to is that on Saturday (12/10/13) I went to Brighton. I am confused as to why I went to Brighton but I believe it was something to do with my 'friend' - I'm only allowed the "one" - telling me on Friday he may have been a twat so needed to borrow some money from me. So being a friend I agreed for him to pick me up in the morning. Under the pretext of much swearing on the Saturday afternoon he eventually picked me up.

On the drive down to Brighton it emerged that because he's a courier my 'mate' has to drive into something known as the "London Congestion Charge Zone" and apparently every time he does that he must pay "Transport for London (TfL)" GBP10. Unfortunately being a twat my best friend in the world decided not to do that and instead paid GBP10 to a third party website to charge him a fee to pay the "London Congestion Charge" on his behalf. Sadly on this one occasion a transaction genuinely failed meaning that the "London Congestion Charge" was not paid on my associates behalf.

Obviously my associate couldn't accept that and after months of arguing with TfL that GBP10 had risen to GBP280 and there were bailiffs knocking on the door.

However after paying over the odds the bailiff postponed himself until Monday (14/10/13) so my associate and I went down to the bit of Hove beach after Adele's house and parked up in a private road to smoke some marijuana. It was all going well until we wandered back to the car and noticed there was a Sussex Police Support Unit (PSU) waiting by the gates of "Shoreham" docks for us. It was just as we finished our long stoned marathon walk back to the car that the PSU started up its engine and led us out of area.

So anyway just as 'we' were arguing over whether "Portslade" was indeed the most depressing place on earth a crippled little white boy emerged on the sidewalk trying to play basket ball with himself.

Therefore if I was being forced to carry on I would say that Rihanna knows what it's like to be forced to inflict pain for pain's sake.
