mad for / not mad for
me and bertie (merlin peacock) came up with this idea a few years ago on our tour of ireland.
it's the ideal way to remember your holiday. you can of course still use conventional photography.
you need two post cards (at least), preferably as tastless as possible. such as 'full irish breakfast' - featuring a pigs head, some oysters and a pint of guinness.
one of these you fill with things you are 'mad for', the other with things you are 'not mad for'. hopefully you will be blessed with more 'mad fors' than 'not mad fors'.
me and diane just went to austria and italy. here's our 'mad for/not mad fors'.
1. chistine og stavanger and uwe
2. meeting fun people at weddings
3. being jarvis cocker, or having him as your lover
4. all the same blood
5. the name merlin peacock
6. drinking early - every day
7. having the craic
8. sound of music nuns
9. classical/non-classical dance
10. consistency of pattern
11. 'damo' the photographer
12. ice cold beer, or soft drink, or wader
13. the austrian countryside
14. a brown paper package, tied up with string
15. swiming pools for concrete dwarves
16. caring about the world
17. being the cutest couple in norway
18. rejuvinating my a.r.s.e. in austria
19. seeing new dots in different places
20. salt and cloth flavour crisps
21. getting the boat into town
22. making the maid iron your clothes
23. italians singing like pavarotti
24. stick insects
25. jesus with no legs
26. reflections
27. cheersing ice cream
28. show me the way to vaporetta
29. escusi
not mad for
1. things being closed
2. receptionists without a monkey's chuff
3. casino internet
4. booking holicay on holiday
5. herds of japanese tourists when silence needed.
6. being the honeymoon couple
7. leather wearing facist nazi german doctors (we're not racist)
8. salty bread
9. working out that "liesl is older than my mother"
10. boring tourists
