News from Cirencester.
My lovely lovely Mum came to visit me last night, we went and sat by the river and ate food and i drank 2 pints of Heineken, having not drank for 4 days i was a bit drunk.
To segue, we were opposite Hampton Court and it was 500 years to the day that Henry VIII was made King. It was a lovely little moment.
Anyway, we were chatting and Mum started to tell me that she and my Sister and nieces where in the car heading for the garden centre when what should come around the corner but the Google car.
Mum excited exclaimed what she had seen and span the car around and started to follow it. Mum said that the car moved very quickly, so Mum was possibly being a little boy racerish.
After a while my 3 and a half year old niece told Grandma to 'stop following the car or the garden centre will be closed and they won't be able to go'.
Anyway, we now wait for the Street View of Cirencester to land so that we can see Mummy Button chasing the Google car around Stratton in Cirencester.
Well done Google, without you this story would not have been written.
This is for Matilda!
Smart went and won a Cyber Leon, which is obviously rather good news.
Thanks for the PMA if indeed you did give PMA.
And relax...

Pjorn Borg.
It's Wimbledon!
The hopes of a nation again falling on the shoulders of one man, and i thought us English weren't supposed to like the Scottish?
Anyway, come on Tim!
But, this year brings something far more entertaining, the grunting women.
It is amazing, all the different varieties of grunt. Some low, some high, some long, some short. It is brilliant, although totally unwatchable, i had to turn the sound of last night.
And, a comedy bi-product is that all your neighbours will think you are watching some filthy European DVD's. They will be checking my post everyday just waiting for the foil envelopes to arrive.
110 decibels apparently, loud as a chain saw!
Tree house!
I love trees. (well i don't really as apart from keeping us all alive they are pretty pointless)
I love houses.
I love tree houses!
Realtime 3D Airtraffic.

Kate Jenkins says “anything can be created from yarn as long as it is made with love”.
Imagine getting a fishy wool bone caught in your throat!
Ouch!
Lush one Kate, lush one!

Stories For The Starlit Sky.
I went to see Daniel Kitson in Regents Park on Saturday night.
It was wonderful.
He has written a few short stories, and using musical accompaniment he recites them under the stars.
He is doing 3 different shows over the next 3 months.
The first one was about 2 people who worked in an office sorting out all the different acts of love that go on through out the world.
I made for a lovely little tail.
Anyway, see if you can get tickets for the next 2 events, they are well worth going to.

Catch the cat!
I am more of a dog man, so it gives me great pleasure when it comes to catching cats.
Have a go!
Catch a cat!
Optimus Pikey!
Nice piece created for the new Transformers movie.
Or is this always happening to scalleys and their mopeds.
Mo money, mo ped!
Oil be back!
A pretty nice 3D animation called Oceansize.
Oil is a nasty little blighter judging by this.

Clever Sony, clever Sony.

Duffy!
Have you heard, they are trying to ban the Duffy ad as she doesn't have any safety equipment on when she is riding her bike.
I fully agree, it should be banned as 'the singer was not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing and did not have lights on her bicycle'
BAN IT! She is not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing and did not have lights on her bicycle!
BAN IT! PLLLLLLLEASE BAN IT!!
PLLLLEEEEAAAAAAASSSEEEEEEE, of course, only because she is not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing and did not have lights on her bicycle, that is the only reason i want it banned, not because it is cock awful and she is annoying, no, because she is not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing and did not have lights on her bicycle!
Imagine if a taxi hadn't see her because she was not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing and did not have lights on her bicycle! The poor thing, she might have been........who knows what could have happened.
Hello world!
This is a most wonderful thing, although i have no idea what it is.
It makes you smile alot so that is always a good thing.

Double Decker.
I have started travelling on the bus to get to work and i always go to the top deck, why wouldn't you, better up there ain't it?
Anyway, i spotted an opportunity.
The tops of bus stops should carry advertising that of course, due to their position, would talk to the people on the top deck, and only people on the top deck.
And then i had another thought.
These adverts should be kept a secret, so that only people on the top deck get to benefit from seeing the messages, and they are also told not to talk about it, thus keeping it a secret from everyone else.
You then become part of a special club that only you and people on the top deck know about.
Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone.

Stealth Dodge Challenger.
Is there a new game coming out or something, otherwise i fail to see the point of this however cool it might be, and it is well cool.
Everything is ok.
I saw this chap on Oxford Street.
He was using irony to tell us that we were more beautiful for plastic surgery, that we were better for using pricey moisturiser, that we should go to Selfridges and spend spend spend.
He was aggressively telling us all not to wear brands, to think of the poor people in China who work for 5p a day, he pointed out we are all sheep following and not thinking, he was funny mind, and he had a lovely pair of Ray Ban Aviator's, i think you can pick them up for about £60 now a days, reckon you can get them in Selfridges.

It feels great!
I also set up a group to collect everyones images and look what wonderful things people have done.
Karen Roe, i salute you!
Bean bag 2.0
I'm not really a fan of the bean bag.
I find them pretty unusable, but this on the other hand looks awesome!
Brilliant!
Skate-cup-board.
Bristol Banksy.
Banksy has an exhibition opening in Bristol tomorrow.
I would pop in if i was you, well, if 'you' happen to live in Bristol, Englandhampton.
He speaks!
"This is the first show I've ever done where taxpayers' money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off," said Banksy.

Warp20 Boxset.
If you love Warp Records you better get yourself on of these.
85 quid mind, you get loads tho.
Pretty nice, might have to get me one.
Jim'll Fix It!
I was thinking, isn't it time Jimmy made a come back?
He does now look slightly odd, so i don't think kids could be involved, but i think he should have his own show where he just fixes stuff.
Could be a blocked drain, could be a bad relationship, could be a broken leg, he just fixes it for you.
Dear Jim,
I haven't had a bath panel on my bath for some years now, do you think you could come and fix it?
Yours,
Richard of Surbiton, aged 36 and 3/4.

Benozzo Gozzoli Museum
Massimo Mariani has created this rather snazzy looking museum in Florence.
Tidy.
Tube strike?
I had a lovely journey into London, England this morning.
I have generally started taking the bus from Waterloo into the centre, but this morning i decided to go underground, Northern Line was running like a dream, and their was a happy atmosphere down there. It was like everyone on the train had won, we were winners! We had laughed in the face of the strike!
So thanks strikers (especailly Gary Lineker), keep it up, you have made my day better.
Well done.

Speccy loading!
Was there any better sound than this!?
Listen to the music on the intro screen!
That must have had some kind of negative effect on me and all the kids that heard it. The reason i wake up at night crying i am sure.

ARhrrrr!
This also appears to good to be true!
A augmented mentality!!
Totally awesome and brilliant.
The Skittles bit is something very special indeed.
Tim Exile.
If you are a fan of music might i suggest you get a copy of Listening Tree by Tim Exile.
It is a staggering piece of work.
Each track has been amazingly crafted in every way.
Their is depth, consideration and involvement like i haven't heard for ages, well, since Vanilla released No Way No Way.
It feels like it has been written in the early 80's then bolted together in the future finally being brought back for us to enjoy today.
Tim, exile is not a good place for you, make sure you contine to give us great things.
Classix Nouveaux!
Just having myself a little listen to this to get me into the working week.
Yeah, but, Nouveaux, but, yeah, but, Nouveaux....
Pleasantville.
Not really carrying the same finish as Slinkachu, but Jonah Samson has some nice little ideas.
How pleasant!

I miss Trevor Burks.
This dude had a mate, he missed him, so made a t-shirt with his head on, although, when the t-shirt is over his head all his friends could see Trev, but not he.
Poor Rob, poor poor Rob.
Super all the same mind, even if Rob can't see him.
Nixie Clock.
I might try and make myself a Nixie Clock.
They are delightfully wonderful, and they appear to be very simple in construction.
Watch this space.
Yoooooouuu Tuuube.
