Ooh baby, baby, it's a Wildwood...

r_scribblesWe went to Wildwood today, and it was a little bit shit. To give you an idea of it; imagine you're at a zoo, right? A zoo that you've paid a fairly princely sum to get into, but that only has animals which are indigenous to the UK. Sounds interesting, right? Until you realise that most of the more impressive British Animals are either nocturnal, and therefore sleeping, or hibernative, and therefore sleeping. We saw a family of wild boar, a couple of deer, a rather cute Harvest mouse and some wolves that looked as annoyed as a wolf would look if a hundred kids had been pointing and howling at you for five days straight. I was also in the company of somebody who insisted on reading aloud from every sign as though reading the rest of us the 6 o'clock news. Never mind, eh? It killed a couple of hours.
In other Scribbles-news, I heart my Twitter so very much. Have I mentioned that? I think I may have mentioned that. Today on Twitter I have tried to come up with a crack squad of Pop and Rock Stars who we Earthlings can rely on to save the planet from an Alien Invasion - David Bowie was originally suggested as the leader, then turned down at the last minute since it was suggested that The Thin White Duke couldn't be trusted not to switch allegiance when the chips were down. Our new last, best hope for survival is Morrisey, apparently. Bjork is in charge of Communications and Alanis Morissette is on standby to yodel until the Martians' heads explode. Do my lovely LJ chums have any more suggestions?
The other thing I want more suggestions for are my TV Crossovers From Hell concepts. It all started off with 'Big Cook, Peter Cook' last night, then I branched out with 'Can't Cook Peter Cook' - In which each week sleb chefs refuse to cannibalise the remains of the deceased comedian, then there was 'Newsnightmare' (Kirsty Wark and Jezza Paxo present indepth current affairs and political analysis while guiding a blindfolded Germaine Greer around a ropey CGI dungeon), 'Top Gear Cat' (a cheeky cartoon alley cat with the voice of Phil Silvers escapes the ire of Officer Dibble in a different 4x4 each week and then tells us how it handled round those tricky corners) and my personal favourite - 'Jon Snow: Informer', which is basically just C4 news, presented in a sweet Raggamuffin stylee. I also came up with The Amazing Spider-Spider, a show about an ordinary spider that gets bitten by a radioactive spider and finds that he has all the powers of a spider. He fights crime. Any more for any more?
Oh, and I may be giving the TNG vs WotW Bunny a carrot for a while - I'm probably just going to do an excerpt... the one scene that's stuck in my head. Hopefully that'll quieten the rodents down. It's a really cool scene, though!
