I thought we could all stand around and self-consciously sing ‘The Red Flag’ to celebrate May Day. But then I thought it would be more fun to listen to the wonderful Jonathan Coulton. The man dominates my ’25 Most Played’ playlist on my iPhone and looks spookily like my old housemate Danny. If you don’t [...]

The People Speak!
I would like to point out that I was not one of the twelve complainants! Unfortunately, nobody appears to have complained about the Swiftcover adverts on the grounds that they were “rubbish”. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8023358.stm
More Iggy Bashing
The charming John Soanes made a very valid point about Mr. Pop here “The thing which amuses/appals me is that as a musician, Mr Pop would find himself very hard-pressed to get insurance from the firm in question, as they’re one of those ‘high risk’ categories of employment.” So I went to the Swiftcover site and had [...]
First Cases of Fluffy Bunny Flu Reported
First we had Bird Flu. Then Swine Flu came along (Is it not called Pig Flu because there’d be too many flying pig jokes made?). Now we’re hearing about the first cases of Fluffy Bunny Flu. Symptoms include an adorable wet nose. The WHO have raised the alert level to four, two steps short of [...]
Winding Your Way Down on Baker Street
As you may know, I was in that sophisticated London on Wednesday for the fabled Twitstunt experiment. It was one of the weirdest nights of my life and, trust me, I’ve had a lot of weird nights. But in a good way. And I got to meet Lara Greenway, Stevyn Colgan, BrideofChrist, Charles, Sophie and [...]
Twitter Experiment
I'm currently on the train to London. Yes, I'm accessing the interweb while on a train! Its like I'm freakin' Neo or something! If you don't already know, five strangers and I are meeting in a secret location for a drink. But, when there, we can only communicate through Tweets. If you're interested, you can [...]
I’m Worth A Million In Prizes
I’d resigned myself to being unappreciated in my time, like Van Gogh or smallpox. But, after years of disappointment with get-rich-quick schemes, this scheme is going to get me rich. And quick. Worried that you’re paying too much for your car insurance? Confused by all the various credit cards and extortionate loans available? With hundreds [...]
Best Song Ever?
Yes. I’ve been at the bar. I’m listening to my iPod. Found this song. And we have @wossy with hair from 20 years ago!!!!
All Time Top 5 Messiahs Part 5.
1. Superman – “Superman Returns” Did you spot my deliberate mistake? I realised yesterday that all the entries were listed as number five. That wasn’t me being egalitarian. It was me being a div. But, yes, the greatest Messiah figure in popular culture has to be the Man of Steel himself. A celestial father sending [...]
All Time Top 5 Messiahs Part 4.
2. Brian Cohen – “Life of Brian” Well, obviously, he couldn’t be number one as he’s not actually the Messiah, he’s merely a very naughty boy. But it’s what he represents. The “Life of Brian” shoot was a troubled one. It survived funding problems, Graham Chapman’s rampant alcoholism and George Harrison. Nope. I can’t do [...]
