Saturday night is coming up.
I don't think I'll be fighting no matter what Elton John suggested.
I think that I'll be following Sam Cooke's advice and staying in for a quiet night.
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money cause I just got paid
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way ...
... sounds a lot more believable than:
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in ...

"You lookin' at me?"
Perhaps, for the casual visitor to this blog I should explain that:
- While I am on my own this evening I do actually have somebody (The Old Girl) who is in Christchurch at present.
- I didn't just get paid because I don't work but The Old Girl told me today that she'd just had a pay rise.
- While I can't talk to her face to face at the moment we do converse daily via FaceTime and we've communicated twice today.
- I'm not in an awful way... yet. I'm preparing a nice dinner for myself - meatloaf, roasted potatoes, pumpkin and kumara with a vegetable bake accompanied by a couple of glasses of Central Otago pinot noir. If I have more than two glasses of the red wine I might be "in an awful way" tomorrow morning.
Elton: "What do you think of it so far Sam?"
Sam: " Ruggish (don't hit me big man)."

Is this one of those essay posts you talked about?
What would Father Bliss think, 3P boy?
No, it's just Saturday night - don't give us none of your aggravation.
I heard my name mentioned.
Richard? Richard Prowse? Is that really you? I never thought you'd be able to write things that make sense - after all - weren't you in 3G class son?
Ah. I just read that comment again. Archie Naylor was in charge of essays son. I was in charge of Christian Doctrine. I seemed to have stuffed up on you son but I did get your younger brother into the fold. It wasn't hard.
I've ... hold on a mo. What's that Benedict? Hey Richard, there's an old pal of yours with me who wants a word ... Richard ... Richard!

Yes, at the end of the day we all need someone.
