The Sun is getting hotter!


Once more The Sun delivers gold. Proper gold, not fools gold, proper gold.

That's 2 in a week, they have been very very good boys and girls and i hope they all get a nice Christmas bonus.

Also, whilst out i saw this.

I must say this is the first bit of tree graffiti i have ever seen.

It shall be called Graffitree.

The Sun always shines


More brilliant work from The Sun.

I love this story, i think it is going to keep giving and giving.

I can even see a film being made out of it.

'The Darwins'.

It will star Steven Fry as John, and Matt Lucas playing Marjorie Dawes as Anne. It would be brilliant. I might even approach them before they get bunged in jail.

(Imagine, that bloke who does all the voice overs to Amercian Rom Coms) 'From the makers of 'I didn't do it' and 'So long fatso 3' comes 'The Darwins'. He liked watersports, she just wanted to live in Panama'

There is alot of money to be made here.

Fairwell, i'm off for a paddle.

Arise Mark Denton

We had Mark Denton come to chat to us at work the other morning. He is an amazing chap. A real inspiration.

He has had various jobs in advertising and is know a Director, but it was how he has got there that is the ace bit about his story.

He basically has gone through his career thinking of things to do and then doing them, getting people to give him free stuff along the way.

He has just created this book on Mexican Wrestlers, we have one at work, it is beautifully put together, and basically he got it printed for free!

As something to do he then went into a studio and took loads of photos as him dressed as this old football character. To cut a long story short, this character then ended up in the National Football Museum in Preston.

Anyway, throughout his career he has helped people out, one of which was a typographer freind of his.

He ended up giving her the idea for this poster, just to get her noticed...

After he had finsihed his presentation i went up and asked how to get hold of one of those posters as i rather liked it. He said 'oh, glad you liked it, i'll send you one'. I thought it was a lovely thing to say and that nothing would ever happen.

This morning, wrapped up like a christmas present i get one of the poster, one of 500 none the less.

Thanks Mark Denton, i would say you are a gent and scholar.

I have even asked him if i can star in a film he is making with Ray Winston.

Don't ask, don't get. Remember that!

Bogeys!


On dear oh dear.

We got Croatia in our qualifying group for the World Cup 2010.

So?

No no, haven't you heard, they are another of Englands 'bogey' teams. Just like Germany.

Basically the teams that are much better than us, and continually beat us, are going to become our 'bogey' teams.

Come on Croatia join the list, there, between 'Aa' for Argentina and just above 'Gee' for Germany, that's it, well done,

Soon, most of the Worlds international teams will appear on our bogey list.

The press totally don't help either. The Sun, front page 'Oh no it's Cro'. Generally, I praise the writers of that beautiful establishment, but come on, hasn't something better happened over the weekend, '11 year old Mother exposed', 'Lady Di new affair uncovered'. Anything but this!

Balls to that 3 - Football 0

That ain't chili, that's well hot!

I was just in Virgin, well, no, i was in Zavvi, which if you ask me sounds like a kebab house, anyway, i was in Virgin, well, no, i was in Zavvi, which if you ask me sounds like a kebab house, anyway, i was in Virgin, and i saw this...

...Please try and tell me that that isn't the best game title you have ever seen in your life!

I think a genuine miracle has occured.

Anyone got a piece of white sliced and a couple of sea bass, i feel another miracle approaching.

Foot balls to that!


We aren't going to be in Euro 2008 and Steven has lost his job.

Can i say, i am actually rather happy about both points.

I like football, prefer rugby, but i just think we need to get rid of all the names in the England team.

For 8 years they have tried to play Frank and Steve along side each other, and for 8 years it has not worked.

Dave Beckham played twice, whilst the punters admitted he wasn't match fit.

Rio Ferdinand runs around whilst we all know he is lazy.

But look at all the players who were injured..........SHUT UP!!

How ever has all this been allowed to happen?

Where is all the new talent?

We ended up with the same points as Israel, that brilliant football nation!

I don't understand any of it! Have i missed something? Are you keeping something secret from me? Are you?

And, how in the lords name do Geoff Thompson and Brian Barwick keep their jobs. They are the fools that gave 124th choice McClaren his job, so they should be out too, shouldn't they?

Lets just hope they do the right thing and think about it before jumping in and giving the job to someone we all hate!

Listen to your public you idiots!

I don't want to think about football anymore! It bores me!

Goodbye.

The power of names.


Well i must say it got me thinking.

Names, aren't they brilliant.

In my last post I spoke about Jonathan Ross, but refered to him as Johnny Ross. Making him feel a very different man.

David Beckham. Strong, leader, stylish. But make him Dave Beckham, then he's a Loss Adjuster from Stevenage.

There's more.

Brad Pitt. Square jawed spunk. Bradley Pitt. IT consultant from Luton.

Victoria Beckham. Pointless women with no known skill yet is everso rich and considered an icon. But making her Vicky Beckham tells an entire different story. Now she turns into a pointless women with no known skill yet is everso rich and considered an icon.

Think of others, they are with you everyday.
