He talks like a complete twat but is pretty well respected in the hip-hop community for being one of the first mainstream UK DJs championing the music over here. I'm glad he exists. |

I think there's a 5th stage, where you appreciate his self-aware mockery of the persona. He used to turn up on the Chris Moyles show, and did a feature called "Where am I!" which was occasionally the funniest thing in the world. |

The scary thing about Westwood: he's been doing the same shtick since 1985... and that's just counting his legal broadcasts. He was a pirate DJ before then. |

Tainted everso slightly by the note left on the windscreen of MrsA's car saying "Learn to read sign on wall private property no parking this is not a dumping ground if it is not gone tomorrow, it will be towed away". So, after she left for work i've gone into town and checked the title plans of the property it was parked outside. Turns out, the boundary does stretch halfway into the road. Which is interesting. Jesus. They literally own the road? He sounds like a cunt. Only from the edges of his house to the centre line. I've decided the best course of action is to knock on his door, apologise for any inconcenience caused, give him a bmxh of flowers. Ask him which bits are his, show him the title plan then park on the bit he doesn't own outside his house. I'm a bit aggrieved over his conduct especially as MrsA started her new job this morning. |

I'm having a cup of tea in the Wetherspoons in Bingley. It is a third full of half cut pensioners. Already. The boarded up building society is opposite. Oh, on Saturday when I drove through the town centre in the Transit, I had to stop at a pedestrian crossing. On the other side, waiting for the lights to change was a Veryon. I told MrsA it was an up and coming area. She's also letne gave thebasement as a playroom, so the spare TV, XBox, PC, guitar And amp are going in there. We're short on bookcases, need a new sofa as one broke, and some other stuff. Living in a house with four floors is ace, though. I'm very happy. |

From: The 6 Weirdest Jobs in China | Cracked.com http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-6-weird ... z1XvT6geoJ Quote: In China, people are dirt cheap. One of my VFX co-workers told me that on movie sets in China, they commonly use people instead of C-stands to hold lights and reflectors because hiring a person is a lot cheaper than renting a C-stand. Sorry for the spammy post, but the quote struck me as shareable. |

No sense crossing any rubicons just yet, and he might have friends on the road, so making a pariah of myself within 24 hours, although an achievement, would be bad. I'm getting interesting service up here, though, probably because of my accent. Tim Taylor's Best is £2.85 a pint, cheaper than the internet cafe. Honest. Yum. |

Henry Winkler's just got an OBE for his goodly works with dyslexic children! Henry Winkler was of course world famous for his role as Barry Zuckerhorn, an immensely popular character who, more than any, was considered a zeitgeist for his time. ["Subs please check," - ed.] Excellently, the Beeb felt it necessary to add this at the end of the article: Quote: The Queen makes honorary awards to non-British citizens on the advice of the UK Foreign Office. It is not clear whether she is a fan of the Fonz.

Being in a strange town, not knowing anyone and only being able to get net access in cafes and pubs is an odd existence. Today I went to a Launderette, which is a bit like a games arcade, except the only game is make clothes slightly less dirty. As I was the only one there, I didn't want to use all the machines in case some more people turned up, so I did three loads sequentially, and as the third was finishing, a lady came in and used the remaining two machines. I have learnt something today. We think the fleas have all gone, although MrsA is still worried as they prefer her to me, but I assume that this is what life in the North is like. Beer is fairlhy cheap, at under £3 a pint, but you don't get a pint, you get about 7/8 a pint and the rest is froth. There was an article in the paper about someone who has found a ferret and wishes to trace its owner, which amused me. So, to compensate for that, here's a picture of the basement of the pied a terre: Attachment: gaming room.jpg It's a work in progress, but the ceiling is too low for someone of my height to use a kinect, and enthusiastic rock band stuff might end up with a sore bonce. However, I think it is suitably soundproofed to allow me to play games loud and late at night. I need a wireless doodah for the XBox, though, once SKY makes the internet work for me again. I want to get a large table in there, too for board games, but suspect it'll get limited use. The basement smells slightly of damp, but I think after a while it'll go away, if the XBox churns out heat. Sleeping on the top floor means that making MrsA tea in the morning is a long trek back upstairs. So, apart from the threat of fleas, people treating me with slight suspicion, and being slightly lonely, it's OK. I'm going to help a friend move a sofa tomorrow in Leeds, so that will be an exciting trip out. Overall, I really like the house, it's awesome, and, once we get sorted properly, it'd be a pleasure for people to drop around if you are in the area. |
