16 or so blogs into this comeback return
and it's time
for to showcase some
FANTASTIC
though
EGO'D
9/11
investigative work...
Yes boss, regular readers of the first 280 posts will be under no illusions that I find that badly spun story of Arab Hijackers flying planes into buildings on September 11th 2001 to be nothing short of an
ABSURD FUCKING NONSENSE!!!
Yes boss,
THERE WERE NO FUCKING PLANES!!! AND NO FUCKING ARABS DRIVING THEM!!!
It was a
LIVE FIRE!!!
War Of The Worlds
A Magic Media Trick run by some dark DESPICABLE fucking turds
HIDDEN IN PLANE SIGHT
who make Jimmy Savile look like a saint...
So...
Here follows the latest work of a confusing figure called Ace Baker:
The Great American Psy-Opera is a rather peculiar mix of stunning investigation, plot deconstruction, straightforward evidence presentation, good research and simple to understand science as well as what some might suggest is questionable music and singing...!??!
Yes boss, Ace laces his presentation with more than a few song and dances which won't help shake off the cynics all that well and SMACK of EGO. But frankly I couldn't care less. No boss, if Mr Baker wishes to sing to keep himself sane amidst the
STUNNING AND GENERALLY WELL PRESENTED RESEARCH!!!
Then so be it...
Who am I to accuse the wierd?!?!
It's 4 hours or more hours in all, and i watched it back to back this morning
If you think you don't have the time to view it all I'd suggest jumping in at
Extract No6
What Planes?
Then continue on into 7 and 8
It's very good food for thought at the very least...

October 9th, 2012
Well...
That last blog appeared rather more popular than many!?!? It seems to have been linked on a number of Russian websites and blogs.
I'm wondering quite how they found it...?
On to the news...
I see Freddie Starr is one of the
UN-NAMED
associates of Savile accused of
'wandering hands...'
Starr has come out FIGHTING!!!
Firstly he tried to injunct, so his name couldn't be mentioned.
Then claimed he'd never been on the show and only met Savile once or twice
Then when footage of him on the EXACT Savile show standing almost nextdoor to the young lady in question appeared, Starr recants that it might have been possible but...
HOW IN THE HELL IS HE SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER THAT IT WAS 40 YEARS AGO?!?!
Well Freddie get your fucking lawyer or PA to check if you were on the fucking show before denying it...
Meantime Freddies wife
(35 years his junior)
claims he's innocent!?!?!?
Which is something of an ABSURD contradiction - though not an illegal one.
Yes Fred, if you're trying to convince the world you're not a lover of the younger women, it might be best to hide your
HALF YOUR AGE
wife
(who looks a bit like the girl in question!?!?)
PUT HER IN A FUCKING CUPBOARD FREDDIE!!!
SHE MAKES YOU LOOK AS GUILTY AS SIN!!!
Nothing will happen on that...
It's one persons word against anothers 40 years ago.
Another entertainment face in the news this week was David Blaine...
I have to admit I'm a bit bored of Blaine and his magic
FEATS OF ENDURANCE!!!
Yes boss, it's getting to the point where the only interesting one will be the one he overcooks
AND DIES HORRIBLY!!!
Or at least suffers a little irreperable brain damage...???
It was like that with Steve Irwin.
Yes boss, when I first saw him getting matey with aligators or snakes or scorpions, I thought
'Interesting....BUT KEEP GOING THAT WAY AND ONE OF 'EMS GONNA GET YA!!!'
After a while those thoughts turned into...
'DEAR NASTY AND MEAN ANIMALS...STOP FUCKING ABOUT AND NAIL THE CHUMMY FUCKER!!!'
I mean honestly...
Venomous snakes and crocodiles and scorpions aren't nice if you get in their face. I don't think the earth and all its animals will be saved by doing TV shows pretending otherwise?!?!?
I digress...
I guess you have to give Blaine his dues
Standing under Tesla Coils pumping out 1m WATTS for 3 days is some kind of an achievement.
The World Trade Center Towers lasted a possibly very similar kind of torture for much less than 2 hours before they were pulverised into a
GINORMOUS DUST CLOUD!!!
Anyway...
Here on Planet Paul, I'm feeling a litte uninclined to write or do anything much creative these days.
I've been off the pop for just over 2 weeks and so when I come in of an evening, rather than pouring a glass and launching myself into a night of
FEARSOME ENTHUSIASM AND RABID CREATION!!!
I read a bit and go to bed at 11 o'clock
It's boring me a little.
I feel a little fresher in the head, but definitely more grumpy, bored and
COMPLETELY UNINSPIRED!!!
Such sobriety can't continue for long
History restarts again on Friday
And I'll be looking after the drinks...

October 4th, 2012
But this underage sexual practice has gone on - and it still goes on and without any eye witness evidence, PROOF and testimony nothing much happens...
Yes boss, it goes on and the perpetrators if not being the
ACTUAL
people in power
are quite often friends of
or defended by them
Savile went for Christmas lunch with the Thatchers afterall..
In the course of my work as a
RELUCTANT MEDIA TWAT
I've seen a little of this close up
Yes boss
A year or so ago, I was in the Hey Joe Club in Jermyn St, St James.
I was there with a lady, herself the victim of a string of absurdly wealthy and famous men, who took their pleasure from her before the age of 16...
The initial reason to go there was to try and sell the proprieter some wine. My friend didn't realise he was the owner of Eastenders Cash & Carry - one of the simgle BIGGEST importers of wine and beer in the UK and so the wine talk was quickly dismissed - in place other conversations arose as well as some quite
EXTRAORDINARY
events
and the tape was running...
Yes boss, the propeiter always had half an eye on Facebook and when my friend asked who was calling him up to chat, this conversation followed...
X: 'Olivia Lucinda is waiting for you. What do you want to say...? I want to lick your pussey?'
Y: 'I want to lick YOUR pussey'
X: 'Say that? Shall we tell her that?'
Y: 'No, she's only 14-'
X: 'Oh fuck no! No don't do that. What are you doing with 14 year old...?'
Y: 'She's the daughter of a friend of mine, so...'
X: 'Hello, how are you darling?'
Y: 'Yeah'
X: 'Grow up a few years'
Y: 'Haha...Yeah'
X: 'What are you doing talking with a 14 year old?'
Y: 'She's actually 15 now, so I'm waiting for another year'
X: 'She's still too young. 16 is too young'
Y: 'Pussey is never too young baby, come on....'
X: 'No Dave, don't Dave don't'
Y: 'Come on, now then...'
X: 'Be a good boy, be a good boy for me'
Y: 'I'm not a good boy I'm a-
X: 'You must-'
Y: 'I'm a fucking very bad boy...'
X: 'Oh no. Just tell me you'll wait'
Y: 'I'm a very bad boy.'
X: 'Please, please. You have to wait for them to grow up'
Y: 'I'm a fucking very bad boy, I'm sorry darling'
A look on the propieters wikipedia suggests this wouldn't perhaps be just a flipant off hand selection of not to be taken seriously remarks
'In 2009 West was charged with the assault of a 14 year old girl in his flat above the HeyJo club. At the conclusion of the case, all charges were dropped and West was awarded £37,000 in costs.' (citation needed)
And one of the proprieters Lawyers is...?
Well, here is he with her...
Cherie, Cherie...
I guess she needed the moneeeeeee...
Yes boss
Rumour has it even
Ponce Andrew is partial to the sub 16s...?
Of course we can't say that
I would certainly never say that
Even the Daily Mail couldn't possibly say that
'Citing the U.S. Fifth Amendment, Miss Marcinkova also declined to say if she had sex with Andrew while, because of legal sensitivities, Miss Kellen even refused to state whether she knew who he was.
There is no suggestion that the prince had any sexual contact during his visits to Epstein’s home in Palm Beach.'
But it's a rumour that persists...
293
October 4th, 2012
'Now then, now then...'
Nevermind WAR!!!
This last 2 weeks, the UK news has become a maelstrom of under-age sexual abuse, death and abduction.
Yes boss
The teacher running off with the 15 year old
The former soldier stabbing his 2 children then himself
Jimmy Saviles apparent SYSTEMATIC campaign of teenage rape and child sex abuse
The 5 year old missing in Wales...!?!?
Yes boss, the news has become a ghastly ghouls paradise that's no doubt lead to more and more parents deciding the very best thing they can do with their children is stick'em in front of the TV for even more hours per day than normal for fear that if they let them out of sight
SOMETHING BAD MIGHT HAPPEN!!!
What can be said about any of it...?
Well, with regards the 15 year old eloping with the weasel faced ferret failed musician of a maths teacher?!?!
I say
MORE POWER TO HER ADOLESCENT MISGUIDED ELBOW!!!
Yes boss, it's wrong (though in some countries it wouldn't be), and it's really very bad to disappear without letting the family know - at least call within a few days (after you've got the sweat on them for whatever wrongs you feel they've done you)
But I'd also ask?
What were her classmates doing for that 7 or 8 days whilst she was on the run with Mr Gray in Bordeaux!??!
A lot of them would have been sat in class
as the rain pissed down
BORRED STUPID BY THE SUPPLY TEACHER
thinking
'I bet she's having more fun than I am...'
Yes boss, my Uncle was a maths teacher and he MARRIED the head girl at the school he was teaching at in the Bahamas. He started seeing her when he was 16 and they were married when she was 18. They stayed happily married until last year when he died of a brain tumour?!?!
COUNTLESS HAPPY YEARS!!
AND 2 KIDS WHO ARE BOTH PROFESSORS!!!
At least there's some romance and some grey about that)!
Savile is quite clearly a very different case though...
Not any kind of a foolish and misguided romantic so much as a cynical filthy little piece of fucking shit.
Yes boss
I first read about Saviles apparent prediliction for the underage kids a year or so on David Ickes website. As I recall, Icke went on to suggest that the only reason Savile did Voluntary Hospital Portering was because he liked to fuck corpses.
David Icke is of course a
WHACK JOB!!!???
But his website contains a good deal more news than the Daily Mails ever does (it was on to this story a year ahead 'n all) and so I don't hold the Reptillians and the love of turquoise against him.
No boss, Icke beats not only The Mail but also the entire mainstream UK Media stories in accuracy, interest and relevance by a factor of about 10/1
So what if he has a few LEFTFIELD views???
The BIG point for me with Savile is this
His habbits were clearly widely known in BBC, DJ and media circles - yet no-one did didly squat?!?!
It's certainly not the victims job to do anything - but the shit eating TV types who knew what was going on truned a blind eye incase their
COMPLETELY IMPORTANT FANTASTICALLY INTERESTING CAREERS IN TV MIGHT BE JEPORDISED?!?!
WHAT A BUNCH OF CUNTS!!!
Yes boss, for me, every dismal little fuck who turned a blind eye now needs to go up against a wall...
PUT THE SELFISH IMPOTENT COWARDLY LITTLE FUCKS IN STOCKS AND THROW SHIT AT THEM!!!
VEGETABLES!!!
HALF MELTED, SHARP AND FREEZING BLOCKS OF ICE!!!
AND HAVE THEIR HIGHLY IMPORTANT TV WORKMATES FILM IT!!!
I might well consider paying a TV licence if there was 4 hours of that on per night...
Yes boss
In some senses it's not surprising that the dull groovey media whores looked the other way - morals and integrity get you NOWHERE in those worlds...
But 'carers' and 'teachers' and in some cases even families?!?
Some appear to have known full well and either helped Savile procure young ladies or done their very best to keep it all under wraps?!?!
Savile might be dead and beyond serious reproach, but some of these horrible little fucks aren't...
NAMES PLEASE!!!
COURT DATES PLEASE!!!
There's also much talk of a ring of TV/Pop and media people pulling the same tricks in collaboration with Savile
Some 'BIG' names apparently...???
BIG NAMES PLEASE!!!???
COURT DATES PLEASE!!!
TIME INSIDE, LIVING UNDER CONSTANT THREAT OF SELF RIGHTEOUS OTHER CONS THROWING BOILING WATER IN THEIR FACES PLEASE!!!
Yes boss, if I was to ever discover any such acts commited against my daughter by a TV PRICK DESPOT, I wouldn't keep my gob shut and simply refuse to ask questions or draw attention for the sake of family 'honour' or in fear of going up against a little shit fucker with a mechanical fucking chair that spits out medals to make childrens dreams come true
No boss, I might start with simply following the EVIL LITTLE PRICK around with a LOUD HAILER to everyone of his charitable fucntions...
If - as would be quite likely - the Justus system and the cronyism was STILL blocking any kind of right and proper legal vengeance, I might well feel I had no choice but to strap the silvery shit eater into his grubby little chair and carefully and delicately pull each of his remaining peculiar white hairs out...
And then his teeth...?
Surely there's a job for me at The Daily Mail...?

September 25th, 2012
Well, this piece in The Independent caught my attention this morning and it's stayed with me...
The buzz emitted by America's fleet of Predators and Reapers are a familiar sound for the inhabitants of the dusty hamlet, which lies next to a riverbed close to Pakistan's border with Afghanistan and is a stronghold for the Taliban commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur.
As the drone circled it let off the first of its Hellfire missiles, slamming into a small house and reducing it to rubble. When residents rushed to the scene of the attack to see if they could help they were struck again.
According to reports at the time, three local rescuers were killed by a second missile whilst a further strike killed another three people five minutes later. In all, somewhere between 17 and 24 people are thought to have been killed in the attack.
The Datta Khel assault was just one of the more than 345 strikes that have hit Pakistan's tribal areas in the past eight years but it reveals an increasingly common tactic now being used in America's covert drone wars – the "double-tap" strike.
The 'double tap strike'
Yes boss that is what these psycopathic derranged murderous cunts playing computer games in Nevada call it?!?!
To me it sounds much more like
DELIBERATELY
targeting civillians/rescue workers/doctors/medical workers with
FUCKING MISSILES!!!
AKA
Regular deliberate and apparently well recorded War Crimes
DAY
ON DAY
ON DAY...
The kind of thing that's supposed to be illegal, contrary to the Geneva Convention and prosecutible at The Hague?!?!
That the murderous fucks call it the cutesy
'double tap' strike
Like it's a snooker technique
or a football pass
is bad enough...
That there isn't the vaguest suggestion these are
OBVIOUS FUCKING WAR CRIMES
that need to be punished
is
simply
ASTOUNDING!!!

September 23rd, 2012
It's like that former squaddie who climbed up the flagpole (without legs) at the Paralympics Closing
I'd imagine the idea is to get China properly involved in things...
290 BUNTING PT 4
September 17th, 2012
Andy told me he was one of the Barnardos boys, brought up in Stepney in a Barnardos home in a row of houses donated by middle class people. He bemoaned that there's only a single plaque there now to commemorate Dr Barnados work in the area. So much of East London as he knew has disappeared or changed beyond recognition. When he was a kid it was littered with bombsites. He talked of the lack of comunities in Silvertown. He told me he had 3 sets of twins aged 7,8 & 9 and that he'd lost 3 days this week - he had no idea where they'd gone!?!? He said his motability scooter was actually made by Harley Davidson. It was the only 1 in the UK and cost £7000. He asked me if I smoked, I said no and he smoked a cheap fag down to his knuckles.
And the night in the pepper sprayed cells...?
On the opening night of the Olympics, the cycling mass ride around people
(idiots according to Andy)
were having a ride around attempting to impose themselves and cause a little chaos.
I remebered hearing about that - one, a lot of arrests because they weren't stopping as instructed to do so by the police.
Basically, Andy got caught up in on his scooter. A car grazed past him - that was OK. He pulled over to check for damage. Looking behind him, he saw a woman cyclist from Critical Mass being assaulted by a police officer. He intervened - the officer lost the plot and started going at him.
'I was telling him to clam down. He'd completely lost it - the red mist! Well, he pepper sprayed me. A woman colleague was trying to calm him down - but he'd gone - totally lost the plot, and so me and the bike spent the night in the cells '
Andy said he was going to take the police to the cleaners. He was going to perform a citizens arrest on the policeman in question when his case comes to court
'You're on that internet thing aren't you?'
'Yeah'
'Hve a look at Youtube. There's about 3 or 4 videos up there'
Here's 2 of them...

September 16th, 2012
OK...
In a brief respite from BUNTORAMA!!!
Here's my daughters first ever piece of homework...
Yes boss...
On her FIRST DAY OF PRE-SCHOOOL aged not even 4 - she gets sent home with homework!?!??
It's a bag with a cuddly fox in and a yellow A4 book containing instructions.
'What happens when Freddy Fox stays at your home...? Draw a picture and write a story about Freddy Fox in your home! Remember to write your name.''
BEAUTIFUL!!!
288 BUNTING PT 3
September 16th, 2012
Emma and I start walking back, me swinging and once again hanging on each Bunt holding lampost - each time recieving no joy. In my mind the mission is close to over.
1X5 Bunt piece of Bunting it is.
But then a strange thing occurs.
YES BOSS!!!
HELP DULY ARRIVES?!?!
Who???
SEB COE AND A PAHLANX OF FRESHLY SPORT SAVED EAST END CHILDREN DRESSED IN UNION JACKS DANCING EYES ALIGHT TO CHARIOTS OF FIRE!??!
THE RED ARROWS BRAVELY ZOOMING ATOP THE LAMPOSTS DEPOSITING CABLE TIE SMART BOMBS THAT SLICE, IRON AND NEATLY FOLD THE BUNT TO LAND AT MY FEET (before veering WILDY OUT OF CONTROL into a small unassuming home on the other side of the world to SLAUGHTER a whole bunch of Afghan civillians who may have been hiding militants)?!?!
DANNY BOYLE IN A GAS MASK WITH PIES AND DRUMS AND KENNETH BRANNAGH ON AN OPEN TOPPED VICTORY BUS WITH THE SPICE GIRLS FELATING RUSSELL BRAND AND GEORGE MICHAEL AND THE REINCARNATION OF THE BUDDHA DRAPED IN A UNION JACK!?!?
No boss, a greying Hells Angel called Andy with MS on a Harley Davidson motability scooter...
Now, I'm aware this bit might sound made up and perhaps far fetched - but it's completely true and thankfully I currently have a half smart phone and was able to take pictures to prove it
Yes boss, here's what happened.
Half way back along the Greenway towards lunch, Andy zooms past. He looks every bit the REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE!!! Greying long hair, shades, leather and denim - and a nippy 3 wheeled Motability scooter that trails a LARGE Hells Angels flag.
I've seen this guy before on Well Street. I've seen him mentioned on Twitter.
He zooms on up towards the closed Victoria Gate...
By the time he comes back, I'm once again taking a rather fruitless swing on some bunting.
Andy stops, introduces himself and asks if we need any help?
I say yes indeed we do
And so we spend the next 15 or 23 minutes pulling and grappling and swinging until we have all the bunt we want!)
Yes boss, we try all techniques. Me and him swinging on the same bit of Bunt, me standing on the saddle of his Harley (shoes removed) LAUNCHING myself at the lamppost with scissors.
And finally:
Me standing on his shoulders sniping the Bunt at its roots like PROFESSIONAL GYMNASTIC ACROBATS!!!
''Oh. I shouldn't be doing this' Andy says 'I've got MS. But I like to help people out...'
AMEN!!!
and
BUNTOFUCKINGRAMA!!!
All applicable Bunt collected, we divvy it up, then pause for a half hour chat in which Andy outlines his potted life history, his perepction on the changes in the East End way before the Olympics
+
the FULL story of the recent day both he and his Harley landed up in the
PEPPER SPRAYED
nick...
287 BUNTING PT2
September 14th, 2012
Well...
I start well.
Yes boss, the first lampost I launch myself up at and
GRAB
suggests Bunt play.
There semms to be little holding the tattered streams up except the black insulation tape and this is indeed the case! I manage to pull down all available bunt in 2 or 3 more leaps. I cut the tape and we have ourselves five sections.
RESULT!!!
Emma looks proud
BUNTORAMA!!!
I hand her custody and we move
ONWARDS!!!
Our success is however shortlived
Yes boss, there is little Buntage remaining hanging, and much of it looks
WELL
fastened with knots, multiple cable ties and substantial quantities of what seems to be heavy duty insulation tape.
Yes boss, every other lampost I attempt is something of a deadloss. Several times, I jump up and swing and hang on the bunt and it gives no indication it's going to move closer to me or my scissors. I move to a new lampost - same story. If I can even reach the bottom of the bunt, I can be hanging with all my bodyweight and swinging
LIKE A BAD FUCKING CHIMP!!!
trying to gain rescue from the sinking of the Olympic (the real name of the Titanic no?) and nothing feels even vaguely moveable!?!?
NO WIGGLE WHATSOEVER!!!
Meantime, my hands are begining to feel nasty. A bit Chinese BURNED from the hanging and swinging. I've re-opened the cut I made with the scissors when removing the orange barrier cover 2 days previous.
I can see Emmas hope and interest is waning and frankly so is mine.
We walk up further towards the Victoria Gate to see if there is any other Bunt not visible form the flat?
Maybe a sign or perhaps some some shirvelled baloons once packed by Mo Farrahs second doctor??!
But there's nothing except the Ticket Collection Office and it's sign is so uninteresting, apparently valueless and well attached I'm not moved to try and work at it.
I can't help but think we're going to need some help - but there's no-one around!??!
Ye sboss, THE FLAG DRAPED WELL MEANING SUCCESS LOVING QUICK DESERTING VAMPIRES HAVE LEFT THE GREATER FISH ISLAND AREA IN THEIR DROVES!!!
The only person I can think of in the flats who is both
IN
and likely to have such a mind to contribute is Johan Hugo.
Johan is the backbone of the African Dance act The Very Best. He lives and mostly records in the flat beneath my old Prison Flat and no doubt has that LIGHT of childlike joy in his eye that could interest him in such a foolish escapade as swinging off lamposts to acquire bunting!)
Yes boss, Johan is a kind and warm gentleman with a very good heart.
Several years ago, we properly met for the first time.
We were out on the PF balcony, smoking and talking about how and what the Olympics might bring?!?! I was saying that though it was no doubt a mixed bag, I was rather excited that the worlds FASTEST recorded man who ran with such an
INCREDIBLE poetry in Beijing
would be aiming to once again
BREAK HIS OWN WORLD RECORD!!!
in the neighbourhood...
Johan said
'Oh really...? Hang on a minute?'
He then ran downstairs to his flat and came back with a gift of a T-shirt signed by Bolt he'd acquired when Bolt had joined him on stage to DJ at some Puma promo event (Puma sponsor them both).
To this day, I don't think I recieved a more generous and sponteanously genuine gift as that...
Anyway...
BUNT!!!
YES!!!
Johan could be game. But he's fresh back from spending a week on the Africa Express train with a whole bunch of his influences, heroes, workmates and even Damon Albarn playing gigs and pop ups and jamming in train carriages.
From the sounds wafting down onto the Greenway he's BUSY AND ON A ROLL!!!
I elect not to call him out to the Greenway, so i can stand on his fucking shoulders to acquire the dismal last dregs of the Olympic bunt.
Oh well...
286 BUNTING PT1
September 13th, 2012
So today, I'm over at the former HQ of the Paul Giovanni Corporation and the still home of my daughter Emma who goes for her first day at pre-school tomorrow.
Yes boss, the former Mrs Giovanni has a busy morning ahead:
2 new rear tyres on the Mercedes in Islington
London City Bond in Creek Rd Barking
Delivery to Putney 25 cases of Prosecco
Delivery to Vauxhall 1 mixed 12 bottle case
And so as is often the case I'm holding the not so baby
WHICH IS A JOY!!!
though at times quite FULL ON!!!
Well...
Emma and I are sat there in the former Yuppie Prison Flat. Emma is drawing her own jigsaw I bought her for quid yesterday in Wilkinsons in Stratford.
She's done blue outlines of sky at the top, green outlines or grass at the bottom, a small yellow sun at the top and a black 'under sun' at the bottom that on my advice she's renamed as a spider.
'What goes in the middle...?'
'I think...some red and yellow...'
'THAT'S MY GIRL!!!'
I leave her to it and wander on to the balcony and take a look at The Greenway.
Now, when I first moved to Fish Island some 7 years ago June, the Greenway was a poorly, semi forrested, paved top of Londons sewerage system imagined and brought to reality by Jospeh Bazalgette, that other than shooooting Londons shit out East, was only really used by kids who'd race stolen mopeds for hours before burning or running them into the algae dead dog strewn canal.
Fortunes can however change very fast.
For the 2 months until last Sunday it was the neatly pruned VICTORIA GATE INTO THE 2012 LONDON OLYMPIC PARK!!!
Well, I'm looking at the dregs of the bunting, dribbling off the lamposts, and it seems to me that there's unfinished businesss
Yes boss,
BUNTING
was where it started with the signage looting of 2 nights ago.
The former Mrs Giovanni was pointing out that one of the neighbours had helped a few other kids pull down most of the bunting that lined the greenway.
TONNES OF IT!!!
HUNDREDS OF BUNTS!!!
She then informed me that small sections of said bunting as little as 3 BUNTS long were going on ebay for upwards of £24 a pop.
My response was to aquire more than £200s worth of signage and barrier drapes...
NEVERMIND BUNTING!!!
THIS IS WIERD SUBURBIA!!!
LET'S BREAK NEW GROUND AND MENTALLY BEAT UP OUR NEIGHBOURS!!!
SIGNAGE IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!
But signage acquired, as I looked out over towards the warm up running tracks, it felt like there remained work to do
I HAVE NO BUNTING!!!
I thought
I NEED BUNTING!!!
'Come on Emma we need Bunting!' I announced.
'Ohhhhh Yeah!!! Let's get some bunting!!' Emma replied
I'm not sure Emma has any real idea what bunting is - but this is the
JOY
of small children
They don't say
'BUNTING!??!? Is getting Bunting really gainful employment and a good use of time Paul...?'
They look
OVERJOYED!!!
at more or less any idea delivered with enthusiasm
and say
'Can I bring my scooter..?'
Well, we walk out through the prison gates (no scooters on this job), up Dace Road, up the murder (recently deep cleaned of years of filth) steps and around onto the Greenway.
I'm armed with scissors and I'm aiming to get a few pieces of bunt no matter how small. Emma will stand guard and I will either pull the dregs down from the lamposts or else shimmy up and cut it...

September 13th, 2012
Last night, my Official Artist was giving me
TALK UP!!!
Yes boss, My Official Artist is one of - if not - THE ACTUAL most consistent supporter and contributor to my creative works.
Indeed, if I had a £ for each time I point someone to my website/writing
and the first thing they upon looking says is:
'The pictures with your face glued on are FANTASTIC!!! How did you do them...?'
To which I'm forced to reply
'Err...Well,...'
I wouldn't have to skulk about at night purloining Olympics signage...
Anyway, in the briEf correspondance of last night, I nailed what I need to do now
Yes boss, though the start might suggest otherwise, I'm endeavouring to complete this blog and the next with
NOT QUITE SO MUCH SHOUTING!!!
And so here follows some softer
c a l m e r
blogs hopefully demonstrating I can more or less write without
THE CAPS LOCK!!!

September 12th, 2012
It's easy to be cynical...
Cynicism (Greek: κυνισμός), in its original form, refers to the beliefs of an ancient school of Greek philosophers known as the Cynics (Greek: Κυνικοί, Latin: Cynici). Their philosophy was that the purpose of life was to live a life of Virtue in agreement with Nature. This meant rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, sex, and fame, and by living a simple life free from all possessions. As reasoning creatures, people could gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which was natural for humans. They believed that the world belonged equally to everyone, and that suffering was caused by false judgments of what was valuable and by the worthless customs and conventions which surrounded society. Many of these thoughts were later absorbed into Stoicism.
By the 19th century, emphasis on the negative aspects of Cynic philosophy led to the modern understanding of cynicism to mean a disposition of disbelief in the sincerity or goodness of human motives and actions.
CYNICAL 19TH CENTURY MODERN FUCKS!!!

September 11th, 2012
So why the comeback!??!?
It was an incident this evening that sealed it...
The JOYOUS JINGO PROPAGANDA 2012 OLYMPICS
are done
My falsely adopted hometown kingdom of Fish Island has come and gone as the
CENTER OF THE SPORTING WORLD!!!
Yes boss, by some strange and unprofitable quirk in my character I've managed to sit out the BIGGEST SPORTING AND WORLDWIDE TV EVENT
in my own backyard!?!?!
Without so much as a puff of opinon or blog!?!?
WHY???
OTHER SHIT TO DO!!!
A missed opportunity no doubt...
However this evening I discovered a mild form of £Ol$£ymp$£$ic£ compensation...
Yes boss, it was drawn to my attention that Olympics TAT is currently ebaying at T£$£$OP£$£$£$ DOL£$£$£LAR!!!
And so I headed out under cover of darkness to purloin some decorative items both for the PG£ archive and for the unwashed hordes who believe 5 weeks of sport mean
SPORT IS GOOD!!!
I MUST HAVE IT!!!
WAR IS BETTER!!!
I MUST SUPPORT THAT!!!
HEROES NEED HELP!!!???
BRITAIN IS GREAT!!!
I AM GREAT!!!
WE ARE ALL GREAT!!!

Yes boss, in the process of skulking about ADRENALIZED cuting SPORTING WONDER souvenirs off the fucking street local furniture I'd lost my fucking keys!?!?
HOUSE KEYS!!! COMPANY CAR KEYS!!! BIKE LOCK KEYS!!! FIRM MAN IN CONTROL KEYS!!!

Yes boss...
I've been ummming and ahhhrrrrringGGGGGG about getting back into writing other than on my book project for a few weeks now. It's seemed like the sensible thing to do - but is daunting, and I wonder if my anger levels have calmed and my talent grown sufficiently to REALLY deliver concise and worthwhile material?!!?
Yes boss, once you stop on something like this, it can be very difficult to come back at all - nevermind to finish off a half done project that's rules have already been manipulated so many times I might as well be a
BANKERS DAMP JOCKSTRAPP!!!
But truth be told, I can't spend too much more time sitting here gambling TENSE, panicing about money, uploading some ABSURD tab at Harmonicande, SELLING WINE BADLY and simply working with images to satisfy my nerves

HOW DOES WRITING BLOGS HELP ANY OF THAT???
Well, it makes me a little happier, less impotent and less frustrated with life...
And you know what???
More or less no-one's watching, so I can get a few weeks on the spin in the way of
HEAVY LIMBER EXERCISE

February 17th, 2012
Every victim of a crime in Michigan is entitled to make a statement in open court regarding the impact of the crime on their life. The statement is limited to the victim’s physical, emotional and financial well being as it relates to the crime. Keep that in mind as you read my statement. Below is a copy of the victim impact statement I gave today at the Underwear Bomber sentencing hearing. When reading my statement, keep in mind that I am a practicing attorney in the State of Michigan. In addition, I regularly practice in the Court the hearings are taking place at and therefore, I am somewhat limited as to what I can say. We were limited to 5 minutes each.
'I wish to thank the Court for allowing me these 5 minutes to make my statement. My references to the government in this statement refer to the Federal Government excluding this Court and the prosecution. On Christmas Day 2009, my wife and I were returning from an African safari and had a connecting flight through Amsterdam. As we waited for our flight, we sat on the floor next to the boarding gate. What I witnessed while sitting there and subsequent events have changed my life forever. While I sat there, I witnessed Umar dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt, being escorted around security by a man in a tan suit who spoke perfect American English and who aided Umar in boarding without a passport. The airline gate worker initially refused Umar boarding until the man in the tan suit intervened. The event meant nothing to me at the time. Little did I know that Umar would try to kill me a few hours later as our flight approached Detroit. The final 10 minutes of our flight after the attack were the worst minutes of my life. During those 10 minutes I sat paralyzed in fear. Unfortunately, what happened next has had an even greater impact on my life and has saddened me further.
When we landed, I was shocked that our plane taxied up to the gate. I was further shocked that we were forced to sit on the plane for 20 minutes with powder from the so called bomb all over the cabin. The officers that boarded the plane did nothing to ensure our safety and did not check for accomplices or other explosive devices. Several passengers trampled through parts of the bomb as they exited the plane. We were then taken into the terminal with our unchecked carry on bags. Again, there was no concern for our safety even though Umar told the officers that there was another bomb on board as he exited the plane. I wondered why nobody was concerned about our safety, accomplices or other bombs and the lack of concern worried me greatly. I immediately told the FBI my story in order to help catch the accomplice I had seen in Amsterdam. It soon became obvious that the FBI wasn’t interested in what I had to say, which upset me further. For one month the government refused to admit the existence of the man in the tan suit before changing course and admitting his existence in an ABC News article on January 22, 2010. That was the last time the government talked about this man. The video that would prove the truth of my account has never been released. I continue to be emotionally upset that the video has not been released. The Dutch police, meanwhile, in this article (show article), also confirmed that Umar did not show his passport in Amsterdam which also meant that he didn’t go through security as both are in the same line in Amsterdam. It upsets me that the government refuses to admit this fact.
I became further saddened from this case, when Patrick Kennedy of the State Department during Congressional hearings, admitted that Umar was a known terrorist, was being followed, and the U.S. allowed him into the U.S. so that it could catch Umar’s accomplices. I was once again shocked and saddened when Michael Leiter of the National Counter terrorism Center admitted during these same hearings that intentionally letting terrorists into the U.S. was a frequent practice of the U.S. Government. I cannot fully explain my sadness, disappointment and fear when I realized that my government allowed an attack on me intentionally.
During this time, I questioned if my country intentionally put a known terrorist onto my flight with a live bomb. I had many sleepless nights over this issue. My answer came shortly thereafter. In late 2010, the FBI admitted to giving out intentionally defective bombs to the Portland Christmas Tree Bomber,the Wrigley Field Bomber and several others. Further, Mr. Chambers was quoted in the Free Press on January 11, 2011 when he indicated that the government’s own explosives experts had indicated that Umar’s bomb was impossibly defective. I wondered how that could be. Certainly, I thought, Al Qaeda wouldn’t go through all of the trouble to plan such an attack only to provide the terrorist with an impossibly defective bomb.
I attended nearly all of the pretrial hearings. At the hearing on January 28, 2011, I was greatly disappointed by the prosecution’s request to block evidence from Mr. Chambers “as it could then be able to be obtained by third parties, who could use it in a civil suit against the government”. It really bothered me that the government apparently was admitting to wrongdoing of some kind as it admitted that it was concerned it would be sued. It further upset me to know that the government was putting its own interests ahead of those of the passengers.
When I attended the jury selection hearings, I questioned why versions of the same two questions kept coming up, those being:
1. Do you think you’ll be able to tell whether something is actually a bomb? and 2. Do you realize that sometimes the media doesn’t always tell the truth?
I continued to be greatly saddened at this point as I felt the truth continued to be hidden.
When Umar listed me as his only witness, I was happy to testify, not on his behalf, but on behalf of the truth. I never expected to testify, as my eyewitness account would have been too damaging to the myth that the government and media are putting forward. A mere 5 days after I was announced as a witness, there was an inexplicable guilty plea which exasperated me as I no longer would be testifying.
In closing I will just say that regardless of how the media and government try to shape the public perception of this case, I am convinced that Umar was given an intentionally defective bomb by a U.S. Government agent and placed on our flight without showing a passport or going through security, to stage a false terrorist attack to be used to implement various government policies.
The effect this matter has had on my life has been astounding and due to this case, I will never trust the government in any matter, ever.
In regards to sentencing, nothing I’ve said excuses the fact that Umar tried to kill me. He has waived his valid claim to the entrapment defense. Umar, you are not a great Muslim martyr, you are merely a “Patsy”. I ask the court to impose the mandatory sentence.'
SO WHO'S THE GUY IN THE TANNED SUIT GETTING THE BOMBER ONTO THE PLANE WITHOUT A FUCKING PASSPORT?!?!?
OSAMA BIN LADEN????

When leaving my non official former X palace here on the Island earlier this evening, I crossed paths with the neighbour Rutland Elms.
Rutland owns and runs the Estate Agency
He's been the neighbour over at the Yuppie Prison Flat for quite a few years now, and though we have kids of the same age, we don't socialise or say anything all that more than an occasional
'Hi there...'
EXCEPT!!!
The night a fire caught ahold of the northern end of the Yuppie Prison Flats caused by some deadbeat weekender unable to correctly extinguish a cigarette!?!?
No boss, it's clear I don't like to blow my own trumpet...
But...
Had I not have heard a
dripping water sound
that turned out to
ACTUALLY
be a
LICKING FLAMES!!!
sound
The Ironworks Development might well have had to rename itself as the
CHARRED WOOD NOT PROPERLY BUILT CHARCOAL WORKS!!!
Yes boss
Not only did i see the fire first
I called in 999
RAN UP AND DOWN YELLING
'FIRE!!!! GET OUT!!! QUICK!!! FIRE!!! GET OUT!!!!'
Then set about taking photos...
Including the one where the guilty parties returned...
Shit, by the time the fire was out, I was running a residents bar and bottle shop on the balcony
I digress...
This evening, Rutland told me he'd heard that the
WHOLE
of Fish Island
is set to be termed an 'exclusion zone?!!?' come the Olympics with security checks to get on and off!?!?
Which essentially means security checks to
move between and leave the houses
and the
REAL
world
?!?!
That don't sound legal to me...

February 6th, 2012

Perhaps if I could put a rumour to bed...?
LANCE FORMAN (of the posh REAL FOOD xenophobic food joint Formans) IS NOT THE KING OF FISH ISLAND!!!
I AM!!!
Sure Lance owns tracts of Fish Island, has celebrities and royals and politicians knocking around his smokehouse, has Seb Coe attending seances (on a regular basis), makes £$£$£$money£$£$£, emits steam, bends rules, processes, smokes, emits a vague aroma, and guts more fish than I have
EVER EATEN!!!
But he is not the KING...
I AM!!!
I HAVE CONSUMATED UNDERGROUND BUNKERS YOU CAN NEVER DREAM OF LANCE!!!
I HAVE SUNGLASSES AND YELLOW CLOTHES!!!
I HAVE HORSE MANURE ON MY ROOF!!!
AND I ACTUALLY FUCKING LIVE HERE!!!

Here's the rub with Redknapp
It's
BEYOND CLEAR
that he's a guilty as sin on this one and quite probably many similar others.
His defence is absurd and on a par with a Mafia Dons
RUN ANY ABSURD CONVULUTED UNFEASIBLE ARGUMENT WHICH CAN'T BE PROVED OTHERWISE!!!
I CAN'T USE A COMPUTER!!!
OR A TEXT MESSAGE!!!
OR A BANK CARD!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MONEY IS?!?!
I CAN'T TALK!!!
Question is....?????
Will the charges stick???
Normally they would because
HE'S OBVIOUSLY FUCKING GUILTY AND HE'S AN EASY HIGH PROFILE WHIPPING BOY!!!
HARD ON TAX DODGERS!!! HARD ON THE CAUSES OF TAX DODGERS!!!
But Redknapp is also the well known BEST BET for a very long time of bringing some kind of
ACTUAL
success to the England football team when he takes over the job after this years Euro Quater or Semi final defeat under Capello (another well known tax dodger)...
(Italian not English)
Question for the powers that be (who are no doubt controlling the jury vibrations) is therefore...????
Is it better to WHIP an OBVIOUS TAX DODGING someone in order to deflect attention from above and gain some good solid scape goat political headlines (whilst nullifying his potential England career)???
Or is there more to be politically gained from England
WINNING A FOOTBALL CUP?!?!?
274
January 26th, 2012
NOW SPORT!!!
Harry Redknapp...?
I'd love to hate him because he took Southampton down...
Yes boss, he left Portsmouth
To become the unseeming manager of Southampton
Unseeming
Because he was the
LAST
man in any ones estimation to be the next Southampton manager
The bookies had him pegged out lonnnnnnng........
But overnight some
HEAVY
bets were placed
fortunes were made
and he took on the job at Southampton
and got us relegated...
Insider trading?!?!
When accused, Harry knew nothing about it
He said he couldn't use a computer. That he had no idea about online gambling
HOW COULD HE HAVE BEEN MAKING MONEY OUT OF IT?!?!?
And now, he's pleading the same with regards to this Moroccan player ACCOUNT BONUS SCHEME!!!
"I have a big problem, I can’t write, so I don’t keep anything. I’m the most disorganised person and I’m ashamed to say in the world, I can’t work a computer, I don’t know what an email is, I can’t, I have never sent a fax and I’ve never sent a text message."
Just last week, I finished reading Redknapps Autobiography
It's a GREAT read
Harry's a very loveable rogue
The one annecdote that stands out for me - the one I remember the most is as follows (and i quote)
'A couple of days later, Bilic came into my office to see me. He moaned about how the club was struggling, how we had no money to buy new players, how he wanted to join a bugger club, and finished by saying he'd heard Tottenham had made an offer for him. I told him they had for £2.5 million
'Well in that case you must sell me,' he said. 'Look at my contract it says so.'
'I've read your contract,' I said, 'and it says that if we get an offer of £2.5 million or more and we want to sell you and you want to go, then the deal goes through.'
'That is settled then,' he said.
'But we don't want to sell you.'
It took a few seconds for this news to sink in with Billic. The he reacted angrily. 'No, no,no. This is wrong. This is very wrong. You have tricked me.'
Billic is a fully qualified lawyer and must have though his contract was watertight. But I went to the University of the Street in Stepney and I had done him up like a kipper.'
WHO NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO READ AND WRITE?!?!

'The defense minister agreed that the Europeans had started out in the right direction. But he saw no reason to hold off until July before the oil embargo went into effect or to delay a boycott on transactions by Iran’s central bank. Oil shortfalls can be made up within weeks, Barak pointed out, from Saudi Arabia’s huge reserves, from the oil produced by Libya and from expanded Iraqi production.'

There are of course other things happening this year other than the Fish Island Olympics...
For one, there's
THE END OF THE WORLD!!!
(According to the Mayans)
Well, I'm not sure about this particular DOOM story.
What is more likely is
THE END OF THE WORLD!!!
According to Israel and the US Empire
Yes boss
SINCE WHEN HAS STARTING A WAR BEEN AN ELECTION PLEDGE?!?!
It's probably not the first time
But most of the frontrunners in the race for the Republican seem to think 2012 is a good time to threaten war to get elected.
And the bonkers thing is it just might get them elected...?!?!
IRAN MUST NOT HAVE NUKES!!!
IRAQ HAS WMDS!!!
COLONEL GADAFFI IS KILLING CIVILLIANS!!!
THAT SYRIAN FELLA LOOKS LIKE HITLER!!!
OSAMA BIN LADEN MUST SLEEP WITH THE FISHES!!!
And so
the rhetoric goes on...
MIT??!?
NEWT?!?!
THEY'RE NOT NAMES THEY'RE SPECIES OF FUCKING PONDLIFE!!!
Gooey, slimey, wet little fucks who crawl about in the mud at the bottom of sewerage ridden cess pools bleeting
'ELECT ME!!! I'M GONNA START A WAR!!! I'M GONNA START A WAR!!! I'M GONNA TURN ANOTHER CORNER OF THE MIDDLE EAST INTO A NUCLEAR INFERNO!!! MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE HORRIBLY!!! IT'LL BE LIVE ON TV!!! VOTE FOR ME!!!''
In tandem with the politicians, the mainstream media is going through the same ridiculous circle of reporting
MADE UP BOLLOCKS
as before Iraq.
Their job as always is to make the case for the war. To HAMMMMM up the threat, to ignore the likely consequences, to keep the publics eyes off the economy and onto the neccesity of war.
IF WE JUST GET THIS LATEST BOGEY MAN EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT!!!
WE'RE GONNA WIN!!!
WE'RE GONNA STAY RICH!!!
now sport...
And this is the problem with America, its politicians, its media and it's accolyte countries.
It's so punch drunk on the idea it has the best military in the world, that it can do what it wants - that it can never be properly challenged, because there isn't another military with any kind of comparable size and effectivenss...?
Which is maybe so...
But what has to be taken into consideration when taking on Iran and Syria is that China & Russia aren't keen. In fact they're happy to still trade and buy Iranian oil and neither much like the idea of another currently ordered country in their midst becoming a nuclear wasteland of KAOS!!!
And what about India...? They're still happy with Iran too
Yes boss, taking on a small, INEFFECTIVE friendless country like Iraq or Afghanistan is one thing - taking on a VERY WELL armed and organised one with some BIG friends is another thing entirely...
So we're all doomed then...?!?!
Unless the sportsman MAN OF PEACE!!! Obama can offer an alternative, a way out of the sabre rattling?!?!
Well, if there's one (of the many) things MAN OF PEACE!!! Obama hasn't managed in his 3 years of power
it's an alternative to war, death and destruction.
No boss, the man who claimed he was going to
CLOSE
Guantanamo
and usher in a new era of American peace has in fact done the opposite.
Yes boss
On New Years Eve he signed the NDAA act.
NDAA means not only can funny bearded blokes be locked indefinitely in cages without trial - clean 'n wholesome Americans can be penned in too!!!
Barry's done nothing to expose what really happened on 9/11.
The Fema camps are being rolled further into reality
and the Brown Shirted TSA continues to rise in its rights.
All told, MAN OF PEACE!!! Obama has been a
FUCKING DISASTER
for America and for the world.
He'll be seen by history as being one of the greatest
POLITICAL HOPE CHANGE FRAUDS
of all time
A listless ineffective puppet
A HOPE SHOOTER!!!
HE HAS A HAND UP HIS ASS!!!
and it's not Martin Luther Kings...
So where does it all end...?
Who knows!?!?
But like every Empire it will - and it might well be in Iran
Whenever it does and WHEN the truth bleeds out...
My bet is that the US Empire will be remembered as the Empire of Insanity - not because war mongering pond life fucks called Newt have vague chances of power, or because of obscene legislation like The NDAA or Patriot Act, or because of the wars (all Empires are run by psycopaths, do wars and grab territory)
Nope...
The reason it'll be remembered thus, is because it's government of 2001 and subsequent governments and ALL standing candidates in this election and EVERY election since 2001, have allowed and drawn strength from an attack made on themselves
BY THEMSELVES
that killed close to 3000
OF THEIR OWN CIVILLIANS!!!
Yes boss, it's one thing bombing another country for gains - it's a whole other bombing
YOUR OWN BUSIEST CITY
then playing on that to
enslave your people
and to help complete your
EMPIRE
...
Even Hitler didn't try that kind of shit...

Boredom...
BOREDOM!!!
I'm sorry I haven't been writing blogs - no actually I'm not at all sorry. I've been a mixture of busy, preoccupied, exhausted and disinterested.
This is how it goes sometimes - but not quite like this...
No boss, this last 5 or 6 days I've had my own agenda.
PREMIUM BLOG TIME!!!
The former Mrs Giovanni and my lovely daughter are in Italy. They've gone there to help in the effort to make well the sister to the former Mrs Giovanni who was struck by a stroke 2 and a bit weeks ago.
Aged 43 - with a soon to be 3 year old.
I heard about the 'inctus' when I was on the way to complete a medical trial for a drug to lower blood sugar for diabectics.
Yes boss, no sooner had I popped out of the Piccadily tunnels in West London, than a message appeared on the phone telling of the malady
The irony wasn't lost - on the way to take drugs for medical science and $£$£$£$
And there 1000 or so miles away (the same number of pounds thereabouts) was someone I know in REAL MEDICAL DISORDER?!?!?
WHAT ON EARTH COULD THAT MEAN?!?!
Probably nothing other than
GET WELL SOON!!!
Anyway here I now am by myself pretending to be bored trying to get a creative
GEE GEE!!!
on
Well not really...
There's the cat Michio Miow Friend in the former Yuppie Flat growing a tummy and a greater attitude problem.
Michios main problem is that he feels he deserves better food than that squalid dried whiskas rivita crap?!?!
All the time on the kitchen surfaces or scraping at the drawers
And over here in the Northern NEW Fish Island Area there are plenty of folk about if I want to find them
but I don't
But 5 days into this batch of personal space
I'm getting interested in doing something creative
Yes boss, this is an unusual thing - normally when I get the slighest bit of breathing room - I engage in
FRANTIC ACTS OF CREATIVITY!!!
QUICK!!!
WHO KNOWS WHEN SLAVISH DOMESTICITY WILL RETURN?!?!
But this time all I could get into immediately was paint the floor in the kitchen of my new base camp
DIRTY RED
here at the northern most reach of the Fish Island Area?!?!
ALL DAY PAINTING RED FLOOR PAINT
AND TIDYING THE LOUNGE!!?!?!
Anyway...

too stoopid

britains armed forces
Well...
I'm sure many of the people hopelessly buying these shoddy songs
honestly believe just that...
And of course the gullible man on the street can do
NOTHING
about the idiotic wars their government engages in
The script is written
The song laid out
and their family members and friends are shipped off to kill and die...
What can they do other than sing and hope they see them again...?
Singing songs isn't however
what this is about...
It's not about a GENUINE grass roots appreciation either
Or a brief moment of flutter flame???
Or even swinging off flags in trench coats...
NOPE!!!
Whether they realise it or not
what these well meaning ladies are
ACTUALLY
singing is yet
ANOTHER
CALL TO WAR!!!
Yes boss
it's all part of the preparation for the THIRD World War we are currently engaging in
To get us all
GEE'D UP WITH LOVE OF COUNTRY!!!
OF WAR!!!
OF SACRIFICE!!!
OF CONQUEST!!!
OF BLOOD AND DEATH!!!
IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM AND...
well...
FREEDOM!!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!!
SING IN SANTA HATS!!!
GLUE SOLDIERS LEGS BACK ON!!!

He's never been the most exciting of bike riders
but...
'Ivan Basso (Liquigas-Cannondale) is making preparations for his life after cycling, la Gazzetta dello Sport reports. The two-time Giro d’Italia winner is starting a blueberry farm in his hometown of Cassano Magnago, to the south of Varese in north west Italy; returning to the trade of his family.
In an interview with his local newspaper, Prealpina, Basso outlined his reasons for starting his farm, and what he hopes it will bring to the community.
"In this society, where everything is quick, not many have the courage to take risks, so that they forget their true history,” he explained. “I decided to make a choice to go against the current, to return to the work of my grandparents and my great-grandparents. I'll be a grower of blueberries in my city.”
Basso’s decision is not such an unusual one, with many of his Tuscan compatriots choosing to invest in olive groves in their retirement. Returning to the business of his family’s previous generations, though, he hopes will help out the people of his local area.
“It’s beautiful to feel useful in the place that you were born,” he said. “Furthermore, especially in the crucial months of the harvest, we will be able to give employment to a quite a lot of people. It will take about eight thousand hours of labour, to respond to the crisis. As soon as I stop riding, I'll be there among them often.”
Fans needn’t worry about Basso’s immediate future however, since the 34-year-old intends to continue racing for a couple more years at least.
“For a little while longer my tool will remain my bike's handlebars,” he reassured. “But after that you’ll find me here in the middle, with my boots on, tasting the nature and the tranquillity.”'

“For a little while longer my tool will remain my bike's handlebars,” he reassured. “But after that you’ll find me here in the middle, with my boots on, tasting the nature and the tranquillity.”'

He's never been the most exciting of bike riders
but...
'Ivan Basso (Liquigas-Cannondale) is making preparations for his life after cycling, la Gazzetta dello Sport reports. The two-time Giro d’Italia winner is starting a blueberry farm in his hometown of Cassano Magnago, to the south of Varese in north west Italy; returning to the trade of his family.
In an interview with his local newspaper, Prealpina, Basso outlined his reasons for starting his farm, and what he hopes it will bring to the community.
"In this society, where everything is quick, not many have the courage to take risks, so that they forget their true history,” he explained. “I decided to make a choice to go against the current, to return to the work of my grandparents and my great-grandparents. I'll be a grower of blueberries in my city.”
Basso’s decision is not such an unusual one, with many of his Tuscan compatriots choosing to invest in olive groves in their retirement. Returning to the business of his family’s previous generations, though, he hopes will help out the people of his local area.
“It’s beautiful to feel useful in the place that you were born,” he said. “Furthermore, especially in the crucial months of the harvest, we will be able to give employment to a quite a lot of people. It will take about eight thousand hours of labour, to respond to the crisis. As soon as I stop riding, I'll be there among them often.”

Our NUMBER 1 FABRICATED BOGEY MAN
Osama 'Sleeping With The Fishes' Bin Laden
The man wrongly accused of 9/11
is now
OFFISHIALLY DEAD
(as opposed to having
ACTUALLY
died in December 2001)
and
GADAFFI IS GONE!!!
And yet we're to be convinced beyond
ANY
doubt that we need to
DOUBLE
the security budget for the Olympics!??!?
"When I started being minister there was no Arab Spring. No one really knows whether that's going to have a beneficial or adverse effect on our security. It is pretty fluid and has created some uncertainty,"
WHAT IN THE FUCK HAVE REVOLUTIONS IN TUNISIA AND EGYPT AND A NATO LED REGIME CHANGE IN LIBYA (alleged to got have VANQUISHED of another of the worlds MAJOR bogeymen THREATS TO HUMANITY) GOT TO DO WITH THE SECUTIY OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES?!?!?
"You can say this looks like a huge increase in the security budget or you can say this is what is needed to provide a safe and secure Games."
Alternatively you could say
'IT'S THE PARANOID NONSENSICAL PSYCHOPATHIC 'SECURITY' BUSINESS ON THE TAKE?!?!? PROTECTING US ALL FROM MANUFACTURED AND MOSTLY NON EXISTENT THREATS!!!'
or perhaps
'ALL THIS MONEY AND LIVES FIGHTING THE WAR ON TERROR HAS MADE US 100% MORE UNDER THREAT?!?! WHAT A WASTE OF FUCKING LIVES, TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY THAT WAS!!!'
or perhaps even
The upcoming Nuclear War with Iran and the currently attempted Regime Change in Syria is what is meant by
'It is pretty fluid and has created some uncertainty,'

I'm VERY interested in what seems to be a new and rather formidable alliance...
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
I wonder how long before they start hinting 9/11 wasn't all it seemed to be...?
Internal strife from within would seem to be the best strategy for any power block planning on toppling the
PEOPLES SUPPORT
Yes boss
The 9/11 card would seem to be an ace up the sleeve for any new power block to play

The next few blogs will feature a selection of photos and postcards from the family photo/postcard album
Many of them are more than 100 years old
I was given 2 albums about 15 years ago when I was skint with the idea I should sell them
I decided to keep them
One album is more old personal and family
The other is mostly of churches that was given to my Grandad on his laundry round

What's like fish?
"The ideas," says Lynch. "You didn't make the fish. You caught the fish. Now you can cook it in a good way or a bad way, but that's as far as it goes. The fish came from someplace else. And sometimes …" His eyes take on a faraway look. "Sometimes it talks back to you. Tells you how it wants to be cooked."

FISH ISLAND PLANNING NEWS!!!
Currently there are several contentious planning applications down the old Yuppie Flat end of Fish Island.
Yes boss
OLYMPICS FEVER IS STARTING TO HIT BIG TIME!!!
And so roll in the 'unacceptable to the locals (well some of them)' ideas for the financial betterment and neo-neo-colonialism of this once begotten corner of London.
The main contentions are:
A WHACKING GREAT 3G RADIATION CITY ARIZONA SMART PHONE MAST AT OLD FORD LOCK!!!
Yes boss, without this, it's said peoples phones will crash next summer - which means no 34,000 amateur iphone live streamed versions of the Opening Ceremony?!?!
THIS CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!!!
The masts construction has spawned a local campaign which can only fail - as did the previous one to stop the construction of a sewerage plant between the Yuppie Flats and the Olympic Stadium.
A 4000 CAPACITY NIGHTCLUB (OPEN TIL 2AM) IN WHAT IS NOW A FURNITURE FACTORY!!!
PASSED!!!
In the next 9 months, this currently still working sofa factory (which made the sofa currently sitting opposite me no less - out the back door for £150!) is to hoiked out on it's ear any day and be replaced with a 'temporary' nightclub that only has a licence for about 2 months next summer.
I'd guess they've got to spend £2-3M bare minimum to get it looking like something half decent, so one would have to guess it's licence will be renewed after the BIG HOOPLA!!! is done with - either that or you're gonna be paying £50 to get in and a tenner a drink...
Probably both
THE OLYMPICS V.I.P HOSPITALITY ZONE!!!
PASSED!!!
Yes boss, all the knobs will be lunching and wining it up over there on the Island, they'll then be chauffeured a quick U around the Yuppie Flat in through the V.I.P entrance which is to be what is now known as The Greenway
The old Yuppie Flat Balcony looks down onto The Greenway...
And so next summer I'll be out on the balcony as and when
with a glass of fizzy pop
giving all the VIPs
THE ROYAL WAVE!!!
much like Prince Will.I.AM was doing last summer from the Balcony at BP
Anyway...
All of these 3 developments are set to sit within 50 square meters of the Yuppie Flats and so the main opposition group to these developments is called
A.I.R
It's the Residents Association.
Here's a funny fact about
A.I.R
It's posters are designed and made by 2 of it's key conspirators
the artists
who share a flat up on Floor 5.
Paul & Georgina seem like nice folk, but I've never really hit it off with them, because I once sold them a case of wine they didn't much like and then arranged a tasting around their schedule to make up for it and find out what they did like
that they couldn't be bothered to attend...
THAT'S ARTISTS FOR YOU!!!
(which I didn't know they both were at the time - I figured they were just a bit strange...)

This evening I wasted more than half an hour fighting with
a staple gun I stole from a film set 4 years ago
a can of WD40
and a packet of 14mm Arrow Staples
The result...?
NO FUCKING RESULT!!!
MESS
STAPLES ALL OVER THE FLOOR?!?!
NOT ONE GOT SO FAR AS EVEN PASSING THROUGH THE CARRIAGE TO BE HIT BY THE HAMMER?!?!
WASTE OF FUCKING TIME!!!

'AND THE WINNERS ARE!!!'
MORE BOMBS FOR PEACE NOW!!!
Alliance warplanes led by France and Britain have flown more than 26,000 sorties and bombed almost 6,000 targets, acting as the air force for the lightly armed revolutionary fighters.
(ACTING AS THE AIR FORCE FOR THE LIGHTLY ARMED REVOLUTIONARY FIGHTERS??!? YOU MEAN POLICING THE NO FLY ZONE DESIGNED TO PROTECT CIVILIANS SURELY???)
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Nato secretary general, said:
"Operation Unified Protector is one of the most successful in NATO history.
(YES INDEED!!!
A regime change done with more or less no known deaths of Empire troops, no coffins through quaint country towns...
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT SAVAGED!!! (REBUILDING CONTRACTS AND REARMAMENT CONTRACTS???? DON'T MIND IF I DO!!!)
BIG resources liberated for Western use and domination without having to deal with the MAD DOG IN A FUCKING TENT!!!
YES BOSS!!! THE LIBYAN MARKET IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!! STRUGGLING EUROPEAN EXPORT ECONOMIES PACK YOUR SUITCASES AND HEAD TO LIBYA!!!
Furthermore, there's been little or NO effective criticism back home, ALL mainstream media both left and right COMPLETELY AND EFFECTIVELY BOUGHT AND MANAGED INTO THE PROPAGANDA WING OF NATO!!!
LINKS!!! RECHT!!! LINKS!!! RECHT!!!
Meantime, the WET FISH citizens of Europe SUCK IT ALL UP!!! BECAUSE ALL YOU WANT IS MORE STUPID FUCKING CRAP TO CLUTTER YOUR SORRY SAD MEANINGLESS LITTLE LIVES WITH!!!
DING DING!!! EVERYONE'S A WINNER!!!)
We are concluding it in a considered and controlled manner - because our military job is now done."
LINKS!!! RECHT!!! LINKS!!! RECHT!!!
NEXT STOP POLAND!!!

waving at one another as they pass a colleague on the road
thing
all day long

The London ones get a bit picky about it sometimes
Not every bus driver waves at the other
Drivers on different routes don't always bother

POINT BLANK REFUSE TO ENGAGE IN IT AT ALL

My mother sends me a copy of
The Link
each and every month...
The Link
is the church magazine from the church I was
seriously
taken too every Sunday for the first 18 years of my life
This issue she was going to bring with her when her and my dad came to stay for 4 days starting Monday
But the Gastric Flu put paid to that visit
and so she posted it as normal...
Well
I opened this months issue and read the first page out loud
and it reminded me of
more or less
every reason why
I stopped going to church...
The AV Version...?
I thought AV was a proposed new waste of time voting system promoted by Nick 'Gap Year' Clegg?!?!
KING CHARLES?!?!
OH WHAT???
THERE'S MORE THAN 1 VERSION OF THE HOLY BOOK..???
YOU MEAN GOD GOT IT WRONG UP UNTIL 400 YEARS AGO?!?!
FUCKING EDITORS HAVE NO IDEA WHEN TO LAY OFF DO THEY?!?!?
Talk about the
TRUTH
(in 101 versions slightly peddled & meddled with along the way)
in
plain sight...

'This is the second of these bonkers picture discs from Sculpture, the first of which jumped off our shelves like a frog with a rocket up its arse. Apparently if you set the thing spinning and then film it at the right shutter speed there’s a zoetrope/flick book type effect but I’ve not figured out how to do it with my camera. Whether or not you can make the video-disc element work, though, it’s a fine looking item! As for the music, this duo make an experimental racket that harks back to the pioneering days of electronic music, like a really wacky ADD take on some of the classic BBC Radiophonic Workshop stuff. Modular synths seem to form the backbone as the tracks twist and turn, clinging on to just enough rhythm and melody to keep the ol’ head nodding. It’s frenetically busy, but the grooves are still quite laid back. Some of the trebly sounds remind me of early Warp stuff, but they’re anchored by washes of mid-end which dictate the pace... On the B side we’ve got something that’s even more Warpy-sounding than the A side, totally got that smooth-flowing glitchy restlessness that the best Squarepusher and Aphex records were pushing a decade or so back. I can see myself having a right old dance to it in a seedy warehouse somewhere at half three in the morning whilst tripping balls and gurning like a madhead. All string samples and squelchy electronics and frantic beats. Super stuff. Then things go a bit dark and minimal towards the end, with smashed together electronics ebbing and flowing to create a dystopian futuristic soundworld where the machines really have taken over. There’s still enough snatches of melody and rhythm to keep my attention but this shit is all over the place. The very final track of the album finishes with this total smasher of a groove that sounds like Boards of Canada or Plaid given a violent glitch makeover. A very impressive showpiece end to a varied and imaginative collection. Visually and sonically this is clearly a labour of love.'

'One of America's most celebrated generals has issued a harsh indictment of his country's campaign in Afghanistan on the 10th anniversary of the invasion to topple the Taliban.
The US began the war with a "frighteningly simplistic" view of Afghanistan, the retired general Stanley McChrystal said, and even now the military lacks sufficient local knowledge to bring the conflict to an end. (?!?!!?)
The US and Nato are only "50% of the way" towards achieving their goals in Afghanistan, he told the Council on Foreign Relations.'
THE US MILITARY...
SPENDS
5 TIMES
THE AMOUNT OF
ANY

(including China, Russia)

It's

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
ART IS A STUPID WET FUCKING FISH!!!
But there is good art
and according to my own personal bias
GOOD ART
includes things like:
fish
birds
APOCALYPTIC VISIONS!!!
VIVD!!! colour
stupidity
playfullness
political knowledge and clever and intense overview (whilst avoiding any kind of headbanging politics dullness)
PASSION
LIFE!!!
naughtyness
subversion???
DANGER!!?!?!!
skill
vision
integrity
&
maybe even
HARD WORK!!!???
And so
7 years ago I made my first trip to The Aquarium Gallery just over the road from Smithfields MEAT Market in what I believe is now known as MID TOWN LONDON!!!
I'd been meaning to go to The Aquarium for a good long while
but I never made it...
I'd bought a book with stamps signed by James Cauty AKA Jimmy Cauty of amongst other projects the wonderful
KLF
I was on the mailing list
pencilled in many shows...
but never ACTUALLY attended?
Looking back, I guess in many senses the Aquarium Gallery appeared to be too good to be true.
Like a Festival where a whole bunch of your favourite acts and artistes both known and unknown
are on display
and there's only 50 or so people there
and it costs nothing to get in
Maybe you can touch them...???
IT'S ALL THERE!!!???
SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!
A potentially intimidating scenario, beset with a pethora of hero worship issues...
'AM I A DIRTY FUCKING ALT.STALKER LOOKING TO BOTH PAY TRIBUTE AND SUCK A LITTLE MOXY FROM MY ALT. (NOT ACTUALLY) BUT ACTUALLY HEROES!!!'
'WHAT DO I SAY???'
'
Well
Celebrity Arse Face
started to break all that down...
How..?
Well, that the email invite included an invitation to take a photo of ones own ass and send it in to be printed up and matched with a famous face
was
'hands on' (your cheeks)
DEMOCRATIC!!!
SEND YOUR ARSE PICTURE NOW!!!
JOIN IN!!!
SPREAD THEM CHEEKS!!!
THE UGLIER MORE WRINKLED AND SPOTTY HAIRY THE BETTER!!!
JOIN IN!!!
NO-ONE WILL KNOW IT'S YOUR FUCKING ARSE!!!
WHY NOT???
Then there was the
'CELEBRITY!!!'
angle
which was then a quite significant aspect of my days...
Yes boss
At the time here on Fish Island
Amy 'drink' The Winehouse
was mainlining a BIG LOAD of crack and heroin at No 46 Omega Works Development about 50 crow flying yards from my then
'Ofishal Residence' at No 46 The Ironworks
I knew this by way of the then Mrs Giovanni who was working as Foreign Editor to the colourful cunt Darryn Lyons at his Paprazzi agency
Big Pictures
I knew that BPs snappers lured her out of her flat in the early hours by
REPEATEDLY
ringing her bell to make her appear
....
which she eventually did
in a red bra to ask them to stop
WINEHOUSE IN CRACKING UP OUTRAGE!!!
WINEHOUSE UNWINDING!!!
FRONT PAGES GALORE!!!
Yes boss
My days were then submerged in PAP gossip.
I knew where Jude Law & Colin Montgomery were and what they were doing and how other people were trying to work to be doing other things than they were doing...!??!
WHY???
it was the job that paid half the rent
Belmonte on the phone stalking yachts on the Med???
IS THIS BONO???
I HAVE SIENNA MILLER TOPLESS ON THE BALCONY WITH GETTY!!!
IS IT A PUBLIC PLACE???
send the pictures and we'll see...
I watched
advised
was appalled
AND FASCINATED!!!
that people even cared
and that it was a job that paid very VERY well if you got it right...
Yes boss
The celebrity game was then
and is even more so now an
ALL TOO PERVASIVE AND OBVIOUS
part of the psyop to keep you
NOT
thinking about sensible things like
'NO FUCKING PLANES EVER HIT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!!! IT WAS ALL A FUCKING TV HOLOGRAPHIC CGI CON!!!!!! YOUR PROXY FUCKING GOVERNMENT IS FULL OF FUCKING PSYCOPATHIC NAZIS!!!'
To instead think
and talk
about
Chicken wing weddings and
Simon Cowells Trunk
and
Wet Corry Balls
looooooosers from Planet X
and
JORDANS BALLOONEYS IN FAKE MARRIAGE OUTRAGE!!!
(and
who might NOT be celebrities...???)
YOU???
And so
Celebrity Arse Face
was in my mind good
AND FRESH!!!
BRAZEN!!!
FUN!!!
DIRECT
and
CRUDE IN THE SWEATY DRITY BASEMENT!!!

in

More or less 2 a day
which is a pretty tall order
and so I'm once again wondering about changing the rules...?!!?
Yes boss
Originally this blog was designed to be a
RELIGIOUS DAILY EVENT FOR 1 YEAR!!!
ORIGINAL PG£ WORDS ONLY!!!
NO VIDEOS
OR PICTURES
NO FUCKING CHEATING!!!
Then I changed the rules to it being 365 posts in a year - but not neccesarily 1 each and every day
and maybe the odd video
here and there...
This last week
I've been thinking about how to change the rules again...?!?!
Yes boss
My plan for the rest of this year is to not spend all that much time online
I have a number of
REAL WORLD
projects to engage in
and news
and the internet only makes me
ANGRY!!!
AND I'M TIRED OF BEING FUCKING ANGRY!!!
So...
I've been thinking about extending maintaining the quality
but extending the time frame on and beyond the year!?!?
Problem with that is the name
365
becomes ridiculous
+
I want to have a specific Olympics blog for next year
focusing on and around the games
the buildup
the area
Fish Island
So I figure I might try and stick to the rule that it gets
FINISHED!!!
within the year
But there's gonna have to be
A LOT
more
filler...

Pictures
etc

THE PG£ UK NEWSPAPER REVIEW!!!
The Guardian : Fake liberalism, King .ALT middle order enforcer, wet faux intellectual collumists, snide and sarcastic. NIMBY. Intellectually lazy. At times an HORRENDOUS ability to spin and respin OBVIOUS propaganda without apparently noticing...????
The Sun : Headlines are the only thing this newspaper does well - and lower league football coverage, and the TIT- NO!!!!
The Express : UNMITTIGATED WORTHLESS SENILE FUCKING DROSS!!!
The Times : Patchy, mostly dull and bland - the thinking mans toilet roll
The Mirror : Very ignorable - a less offensive version of The Sun without the TI -NO!!!!!
The Independent : A bit worthy and at times very irrelevant, but home to the best Foriegn Correspondent of them all Robert Fisk, it does at least try to question it's own assumptions but often LACKS PAZZZZZAZZZZZZ!!!
The Telegraph : Mi6 NEWS!!!
The Mail : ALWAYS the best for photojournalism - particularly online, good human interest stories 'n all. Politics akin to those of a brand new lawnmower
The Sunday Sport : FUCKING WANKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!! TITS EVERYWHERE!!!
The Financial Times : The only paper to read if you want to have some idea as to what might ACTUALLY be afoot in the world...

As rolls on the 10th anniversary of 9/11
as rolls out the
explanations
justifications
and the
BANGDOGING
of anyone who questions the official version of events
This piece by the BBC is one such aim to keep the blinkers on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14665953
Yes boss
This silly little aspirin
is so obviously full of diversions
glossings over
slights of word
and generalisation
it can be very easily taken apart - and is so being pulled apart very effectively by the
HEADACHES!!!
in the comments section beneath it.
Here follows my 2 pence worth neatly intertwined into the BBCs narrative
For the sake of brevity lets look at just 1 point - the mythical jetliner that crashed into the Pentagon...
BBC: 'The question: How could an amateur pilot fly a commercial plane in a complicated manoeuvre and crash it into the headquarters of the world's most powerful military, 78 minutes after the first report of a possible hijack and leave no trace?'
PG£ : VERY GOOD FUCKING QUESTION!!! - Amateur pilots who cannot fly small planes very well 3 weeks before 9/11 CANNOT WAKE UP 3 WEEKS LATER AND MAGICALLY FLY AIRLINERS IN THE MANNER OF MILITARY JETS, HITTING A PERFECT TARGET (THE LOCATION OF A TEAM OF PEOPLE INVESTIGATING A MULTI TRILLION $ FUNDS DISAPPEARANCE INSIDE THE PENTAGON) AT INFEASIBLE SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL!!!
IT CANNOT BE FUCKING DONE!!!
END OF STORY!!!
http://pilotsfor911truth.org/pentagon.html
BBC: Conspiracy theorists say: A commercial Boeing 757 did not hit the building but instead a missile, a small aircraft or an unmanned drone was used.
PG£: YES!!! This makes much more sense - the size of the hole, the nature of the penetration and the wreckage points to a smaller drone or more likely a missile
BBC: But since evidence has increasingly shown that the American Airlines Flight 77 did hit the building,
PG£: What evidence would this be...? This line MEANS NOTHING!!! I've seen no such evidence and I've done a lot of looking for it...? PLEASE ENLARGE ON THIS EVIDENCE!!!
BBC: the emphasis has shifted -
PG£: ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION BEFORE DRAGGING THE READER AWAY!!! WHAT IS THE INCREASING EVIDENCE???
BBC: to questioning the difficult approach manoeuvre.
PG£: Well yes, like I said above, such a manoeuvre is more or less impossible to complete in such an air plane, so much so that many professional Jetline pilots with decades of experience (including 1 guy who in his career flew 2 of the planes reported to be used on the day) have said they could not have pulled it - an amateur who could barely fly a 2 seater COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS!!!
Now, back to this 'increasing evidence...?!?!?'
BBC: It is argued it was not under the control of al-Qaeda but the Pentagon itself.
PG£: 'al-Qaeda' is the original name of the database the US had for it's Soviet COMMIE BASHING fighters in Afghanistan in the 1980s - so the link is obvious. A control room somewhere - yes... THE EVIDENCE MOTHERFUCKERS!!! THE EVIDENCE!!!???
BBC: Official reports say: Air plane wreckage, including the black boxes, were recovered from the scene and they were catalogued by the FBI.
PG£: Yes, this is said to be the case but the tapes of these Black Box Recordings released to Pilots For 9/11 Truth were fully analysed by them and found to be
INNACURATE, INCORRECT & FULL OF HOLES!!!
http://pilotsfor911truth.org/pentagon.html
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2879177663747998295
BBC: Although some early video did not show much wreckage, there is a good deal of video and still photography which shows plane wreckage and evidence of the flight path, such as broken lamp posts.
PG£: Where is this video and still imagery...? Where is the CCTV from all the hundreds of Pentagon CCTV cameras that will clearly show what it was that hit the Pentagon...? And what about that from surrounding buildings that recorded the same - but that was immediately seized by the FBI NEVER to be seen again...????
Put that evidence on show and all us FREE THINKING IDIOTS WILL BE VANQUISHED!!!
WHY NOT WEEEEELEASE THE TAPES????
YEAH!!!
WHY NOT WEEEEELEASE THE TAPES????
BBC: The remains of crew and passengers on the plane were found and positively identified by DNA.
PG£: As far as I know this information on DNA has never been publicly released for examination. Release it to independent experts. As far as has been explained there were MAGICALLY NO BODY PARTS IN THE WRECKAGE?!?! THE FIRST PLANE CRASH EVER WITH NO BODY PARTS!!!
WOULD YOU ADAM AND STEVE IT?!?!?
BBC: Witnesses also saw the plane strike the Pentagon.
PG£: Yes, many of the witness accounts (many of them Pentagon employees) said they saw a plane hit - many of them are as specific as to say it was a silvery grey American Airlines - but many others have said a light air plane - even that there was 2 planes, one that hit and another that flew away...
For me this is the one discrepancy I've yet to fully understand and the single 1 piece of evidence that could say an AA plane did hit and the story is as is - every single other piece of AVAILABLE evidence suggests
NO JETLINE HIT THE PENTAGON!!!
I could go on, but for now, let's leave it there...

Only been once - 3 years ago
Looked like fun
but I was on a short lead
with a pregnant girlfriend
and no money in my pocket
This year
because a load of righteous kids
KICKED OFF
a few weeks back
The
PO-LICE
or whoever
have said
TURN THAT SHIT OFF AT 7PM!!!
They think there will be less likelihood of any kind of disruptive behaviour if they close the parties down early
At kiddies bedtime!?!?
7PM!!!

They

August 23rd, 2011
Like I said in the last blog
I don't know for certain anything about the situation in Libya
The propaganda is so
INTENSE
and difficult to unpack
But here's my best bet...
What is happening is a
Nato run organised & managed
Regime Change
done on behalf of the usual suspects
Oil Companies
Re-construction Companies
Shit Eating Politicians running
BANKRUPT Empires
Naive genuinely Anti Gadaffi Youth
(who most likely started the ball rolling)
are being co-opted with various militias and criminal gangs
some of them Libyan
some not
+ A WHOLE HOST of rich countries special forces
into a BOMBBBBB!!!
to overthrow Gadaffi
at any cost...
It's being done this way because that way
sponsorring governments
loose
few
or
NO
soldiers of their own
NO COFFINS PASSING THROUGH QUAINT ENGLISH TOWNS!!!
and because they can make it all look like some kind of a
friendly mercy mission...
When Gadaffi is finally gone
(if it doesn't happen of it's own accord)
Nato will engender and organise infighting amongst it's
rag tag
RENTAMOB
which will cause a chaos Nato will feel obliged to
CONTROL!!!
and
MANAGE!!!
along with the country - specifically its
oil
water
and strategic importance...
A puppet government will be installed
'UN Peacekeepers' or some such SHIT will be the
NEW
'reasonable and reliable bobbies on the beat'
US basses will be built
Libya as a society will go back to the average African
...
And the Empire
will roll on...
NEXT STOP SYRIA???

A day into the Libyan
ENDGAME
and it looks like it's far from over...
Yes boss
The first day with the rebels up and active in Tripoli seemed to be
ALL
about exaggeration and propaganda...
Sky News did a STERLING job
re-branding Murdoch
I AM JESSICA LYNCH IN A HELMET!!!
PEOPLE ARE SHOOTING!!!
A decent advance was made
and a portion of Tripoli taken...
But just exactly
WHAT
portion?!?!
seems to be in the process of continual revision...?!?!
Yes boss
Last night the impression was it was all over bar the
SHOUTING!!!
95% REBEL CONTROLLED!!!
2 SONS CAPTURED!!!
THE MASSES IN THE STREET!!!
JOB DONE!!!
Tonight
It doesn't look quite so clear cut...
No boss
One of the sons has escaped
The other is yet to be seen as being caught
And the Colonel is still
A.W.O.L
Now, don't get me wrong...
There's NO way back for Gadaffi
But currently I wouldn't be at all convinced we're looking at much other than
Afghanistan 2.0
Iraq : The Sequel
Yes boss
First Gadaffi and his loyalists have to be
COMPLETELY
vanquished
and I think that will take time...
Then the Rebels need to not get carried away with revenge
and infighting...
And THEN they will have to understand that Nato
WANTS
something for it's time
BOMBS!!!
effort
AND
trouble
Yes boss
At the moment
'the Youth'
seem to be lazing under some kind of belief that Nato is a benevolent Knight
ON A WHITE BIG BOMBED SHINING GEE GEE!!!
who the minute
MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED!!!
will joyfully trott off into the sunset
without
ANY
question of payment...?!?!
But that isn't how it's going to be...
170
August 21st, 2011
Well...
The alleged AXIS of GOOD!!!
are claimed to rounding on Tripoli from 64 angles
GADAFFI IS DOOMED!!!
again...
Yes boss
HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!!
HE'LL SOON BE SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES!!!
HARD BOMBING STIFF AIR SUPPORT DEMOCRACY IS COMING TO NORTH AFRICA!!!
HOOR
orrrr....?!?!
Yes boss...
I've taken more or less
EVERY
possible position on this Libyan conflict since it started way back in February and I've documented it on this blog along the way...
And the truth is now
I still have no
REAL
idea as to what the
REALITY
is or isn't...
But whatever is or isn't true about this REAL Libyan Nato Sponsored Coup
I'd like to say this of the Twitter representatives of the 'revolution'
@Truth_Libya @ChangeInLibya @libyaoutreach @ShababLibya @Tripolitanian @Feb17libya
THEY ARE RUDE DISMISSIVE UNPLEASANT FUCKS!!!
Yes boss
If you Twit question them or ask for further information they either
IGNORE YOU COMPLETELY!!!
Patronise you...
Or call you by any number of
RUDE AND OFFENSIVE FUCKING TERMS!!!
Yes boss
Their version and understanding of 'democracy' seems to be
TRUST US COMPLETELY!!!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF WE DON'T HAVE FACES!!!
DON'T ARGUE!!!
WE'RE THE MAJORITY!!!
ARE YOU MENTALLY RETARDED?!?!
WE KNOW THE TRUTH!!!
SHUT UP AND FUCK OFF!!!
And to think my taxes are
PAYING FOR THEIR FUCKING BOMBS?!?!?
UNBELIEVEABLE!!!
Yes boss
Whatever happens next
It strikes me Libya is set for
VERY MUCH MORE OF THE
RUDE
ARROGANT
UGLY
SAME...

Last night was wierd...
I was in the kind of mood where I felt I was wasting my time on Twitter
BATTERING
it all day long had got me
NOTHING
in the way of debate
NO
Retwits
NO
Replies
NO
ARGY
NO
NOTHING!!!
I had a 2 hour spell where I could no longer be bothered...
The pointless
was grinding...
I was disillusioned
So much so
I thought about reading a book...
But then i read about Marco Pinotti not getting his prize money from his win at the Tour Of Ireland in 2008
Mmmmmm...
I'm NO fan of Pinotti
He's an educated puritan
I don't like educated puritans
they lack something...
And so
I suggested that
'As for @marcopinotti ??? If he was served a TURD for breakfast he'd probably say THANKS YUM YUM!!!'
SHAMELESS!!!
RUDE!!!
& VERY UNPLEASANT to assault a professional sportsman with
I know...
But I felt it was the right thing to say at the time...
Well...
Sensing a STUPID VERVE!!!
I continued my earlier narrative that the
REAL LOOTERS
are those at the
TOP
(not those hoodie eyeing
Footlocker)
And thereby found myself suggesting 7 times Tour de France CHAMPION
@lancearmstrong
had
LOOTED
The Tour Of Ireland bike race by way of an 'appearance fee' to ride the 2009 version...
Yes boss
I'm not all that sure how I came to be suggesting that...
I'd not done any research into
The Tour Of Ireland
I was simply running a stereotype
quoting a source (I knew nothing about @raceradio)
and putting 2 & 2 together
to make..?
THERE GOES ANOTHER VENOMOUS AND PUERILE SHOT TO THE WIND!!!
I thought...
And then
@lancearmstrong
replied
'racing for free will do that to some races.'
@lancearmstrong You're saying you got paid nothing for riding that race...??? @TheRaceRadio is talking from it's ASS???
I replied
(finding it hard to believe that in an era where I'm more or less
COMPLETELY IGNORED!!!
a sporting and twitter
flawed LEGEND
appeared to feel the need to respond to my lazy
GUFFF??!)
@PaulJamesDeman zero. And yes, he tends to do that.
replied
Lance
Well...
WHAT TO DO???
The only sane thing seemed to be
SELF PROMOTION!!!
@TheRaceRadio paulgiovanni.com/blogs/blog5.ph… As always @lancearmstrong A FIGHTER like few others...

Meantime back in
LA LA LAND!!!
THE MARKETS ONCE AGAIN CRASH!!!
Oh and...
'Bank shares suffered more sharp falls as the European Central Bank (ECB) lent dollars to an unnamed eurozone bank.
The loan, on Wednesday, was the first of its kind since February, and a further sign of worries within the eurozone economy.
One bidder borrowed $500m (£303m) the ECB said, but did not disclose the identity of the bank.'
WHAT???
MORE CHEAP AND EASY LOANS FOR INEPT FRAUDLENT LOOTING THEIVING FUCKING BANKERS?!?!?
Ok!
Move along...
There's nothing to see here

August 18th, 2011
On and on and on...
'David Swarbrick, 25, was jailed for two years after he stole £25 worth of Oil of Olay from a Quality Save store in Parker Street, which was unsecured after an earlier attack.'
A year for each £12.50s worth of smellies...!?!?
Be honest now...
Who in their life has never stolen £25 quids worth of something
at some point
somewhere...???

August 17th, 2011
WOULD YOU CHOCOLATE SQUEEZE IT??!!?
'THE biggest surge in dole queues since the recession today dealt a huge blow to hopes of an economic recovery.
In London unemployment rose by 22,000 to pass the 400,000 mark for the first time in 15 years.
The national unemployment total also shot up more than forecast, soaring 38,000 to reach 2.49 million - most of the jobs lost were womens.
One in five 16-24 year olds is out of work.'
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RIOTING!!!
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
THE RIOTING WAS 10S OF THOUSANDS OF HAPPY BUT CRAZY PROFESSIONAL HARDENED CHILD CRIMINALS WHO ALL HAPPENED TO GET BUSY ON THE SAME DAYS AND NIGHTS!!!
THEY'LL SOON ALL BE IN PRISON!!!
THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!!!
NOW GET BACK TO YOUR TVS!!!
(unless you NICKED IT!!! In which case DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAND YOURSELF IN!!!)

August 16th, 2011
These JAIL times go from the
ABSURD
to the
CRIMINALLY INSANE!!!
Yes boss
'Jordan Blackshaw, 20, and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22, were jailed for four years each for inciting the disorder on Facebook despite both being of previous good character.
Blackshaw created an event on the site entitled 'Smash Down Northwich Town', while Sutcliffe-Keenan encouraging a riot on the same site.'
Here's what happened...
These poor pricks were watching TV seeing all the
SHIT HIT THE FAN!!!
And so they went on a wierd and silly trip to thinking (or dreaming)...
NORTHWICH WAS NEXT!!!
Eyeing an opportunist moment of online
FAME!!!
They set up this
CUNTBOOK group so they had something to boast about in the playground...
NO-ONE RIOTED!!!
THEY DIDN'T EVEN RIOT THEMSELVES?!?!
IT WAS ALL AN INCONCIEVED FANTASY!!!
'Jordan Blackshaw, 20, and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22 YOU ARE A GRAVE DANGER TO SOCIETY AND I AM A POMPOUS DELUDED ABSURD PRICK!!! I SENTENCE YOU TO 4 YEARS!!!!'
Honestly...
These
INBRED
Magistrates need to be
HUNG DRAWN AND QUATERED
for crimes against
SANITY
and
BASIC
common sense...
DELUDED FANTASTICAL WAVE SURFING FUCKING PRICKS!!!

August 16th, 2011
And so it goes on...
'In Manchester a mother of two, Ursula Nevin, was jailed for five months for receiving a pair of shorts given to her after they had been looted from a city centre store.'
For 'recieving' a

2 kids have no mum for 5 months...?!?!?
OH YEAH!!!

And you know what it means don't you...?
MORE FERAL WILD KIDS COMING RIGHT UP!!!
161
August 15th, 2011
A feature of an event like last weeks
RIOTING
is the display of true colours...
Yes boss
Unpredictable events
SHOCK
and amongst other things this
SHOCK!!!
particularly local
SHOCK!!!
gives a good and proper look at the
REALITY
behind the characters...
Cameron and Borris have been flagged RIGHT UP!!!
I've covered them to some degree
and will again...
After them...
the BIGGEST and most obvious
bluff un fluff
has come by way of the Twitter CLOUD...
Specifically
I'm talking about the
groovey
FAUX LIBERAL GLITTERARTI
who so very easily jumped on the bandwagon of the statusfuckingquo
'LOCK 'EM ALL UP!!! KILL 'EM!!!'
without so much as a serious ability to compute an alterantive or even
the less vindictive
REALITY...
Yes boss
All told Twitter this last week has been overwhelmed by some of the lowest and most ill concieved
PIOSITY
MEANNESS
and plain
PSYCOSIS
I can remember
and a lot of it has come from the groovies...
Groovies...???
Broadly speaking, these characters pretend they're a little edgey, modern and forward thinking. They usually work in publishing or some kind of journalism, the music business, film or advertising, graphic design or media wank. Not many of them are Londoners, though some are, and those who aren't often colonise poorer areas of London just like their Grandparents did countries of the old Empire
Their prescence pushes rents up and born and breds out.
Useful shops
get replaced with over priced shops
coffee shops
tea shops
art galleries
frilly wannabe WI handicraft shops
And there they spin this alt.living dream
That they are
DIFFERENT
from their parents
because they listen to modern music that's a bit LOUD
or
read The Guardian
or
Buy Organic Tomatoes
But this last week, these groovers with a C- in styling have been sent up the pole as the shameful bunch of pricks they are - MORE conservative than Maggie...
Who simply want to be cool and comfrotably off...
With their OWN interests at heart...
Here's some examples...
@Tookland
He says he's a Graphic Designer, who claims interests of popular culture, clever books, fatty restaurants, posh brands.
He has a Twitter mug shot that says
CRIMINAL!!!
Which was duly proven when in response to my suggestion that grown men pointing semi automatic guns at kids heads a few days after the riots was
FUCKING SHAMEFUL!!!
replied
'hope they pull the fricking trigger'
?!?!?
Pull the fricking trigger on a 15 year old kid chatting with his mates (as young as 12)?!?! No arrest? Ask questions perhaps..?? See if a crime has been committed...??? Trial perhaps...???
'pull the frikking trigger'
!!?!?!?
Then you have @gracedent this apparently groovey, though perfectly dull 'cultural commentator' who went to the trouble to put links on her Twitter timeline to galleries of child looters faces to help get them
LOCKED UP!!!
LEFT!!! RIGHT!!! LEFT!!! RIGHT!!!!
'WHAT DID YOU SAY OLIVER???? YOU WANT MORE???'
And then there was that dull blonde posh girl with a penchant for the cameras with a broom at the Hackney 'CLEARUP' parading herself in a horribly limp and faded yellow T-Shirt with the words
'LOOTERS ARE SCUM'
?!?!?
a duller more lifelessly bland 'I'll ask mummy' creature
I don't think I've ever seen...
And these are just 3...
Yes boss
As educated as these PRICKS claim to be
They really have NO FUCKING IDEA about economics
The climate of power in the world
About the wider implications and root causes of instinctive rioting and looting
They understand nothing about youth
(That most of these RIOTERS are children - seems to sail right on past their yoghurt float - if anything it inflames their hatred more)
IMPULSIVENESS!!!
FIRE!!!
DEVIL MAY CARE!!!
And most of all
LOVE!!!
What's wierder still, is these same folks are often harping on about equality, the poor, inequality, community and the redistibution of wealth...
But then, as soon as their poorer neighbours ACTUALLY take it upon themselves to redistribute wealth as opposed to talking about it (and lets be clear no-one is redistributing their wealth unless they're forced to)
The Groovies get all
'BURN THE TRAINER LOVING SCUM!!!
LOCK 'EM UP!!!
BATTER THE CUNTS!!!'
Well do you believe in redistribution of wealth or not...?
If you do
forget Unicef and
HOLD OPEN THE SHUTTERS AT PC WORLD WHY DON'T YOU...?
'Oh but what we really care about is the small shopkeepers and the people who's homes were burnt and Phil The Barber who's been here for decades, and those poor guys who got killed...'
But it's front..
They've never used 'Phil The Barber' to cut their hair, they pay some Gay Brazillian £70 for a short front and sides they then HATE!!!
What they really care about is their own selves
their wealth
their clothes
their position
their low rent egos
and the threat they feel to all of that from
HOODIE DIRTY RAT FERAL SCUM KIDS
who look at them menacing when they're cycling back from office drinks late at night
I WANT YOUR BIKE!!!
Yes boss
It's very sad there's been deaths in these riots (3 isolated incidents at least 1 of which would have quite likely happenned regardless of any riots)
It's also very sad people have lost their homes and all their possesions - innocents always get caught up in the crossfire of crazy moments of CRIMINAL LOOTING KAOS!!! just ask anyone from Iraq (100 + DEAD today - nevermind property (remind me who started all that LOOTING AND VIOLENCE???)...
But if your knee jerk response any time the kids get lively like this is to call for
PRISON
then you're no fucking liberal
in fact you're barely even human...
Yes boss
LOVE!!!
You don't have to have a degree to know that if children are acting up
BREAKING SHIT!!!
they generally need
LOVE!!!
not
hate or prison
or a gun to the head...
LOVE!!!
That's basic
very fucking basic...
And so it's times like this last week
when you realise just how
MATERIALISTIC SOUL SICKLY FUCKING SICK!!!
this country is...
A country where so called 'educated' liberal alternative people can see other people who live in the same streets as them as being
'FERAL!!!'
'RATS!!!'
'SCUM!!!'
who should be locked up or shot because they've stolen stuff In a frenzy of frightening FREEDOM...
Hitler would be proud...

Book Review
bit of a blur - Alex James
Many times I buy books I have no apparent interest in...
Books about
people
places
bands
situations
that don't sound very interesting
who's work I don't like
or know
from
Eves...
I guess I do this so as to not get complacent, comfy
and
CERTAIN
in what
I KNOW I
do and don't like...
Yes boss, if you don't challenge yourself and your perecptions of taste and regard.
If you don't try an proove yourself
WRONG!!!
you're far more likely to be
WRONG!!!
Well...
This biography of Alex James was one such buy.
£1.50 in the charity shop???
I was pretty sure I disliked James with a PASSION!!!
WHY WASTE MY TIME???
WHY NOT???
I bought it - and read it within a week...
Yes boss
The first 3/4s of this book I found really quite compulsive
VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN
Alex James is witty, clever, intelligent, aware and curious. He writes well, uses language well, and kept me interested because his mind wanders and rambles and because he likes fun, drinks and doesn't mind the ridiculous and the sidetrack. He also does common sense and
DROPS
a lot of names - and many of those names had some interest, and he had an angle on them I enjoyed reading...
That I've never had much regard for Blur didn't much affect my enjoyment of the book.
No boss
That I've always felt there was a lack of soul, depth and edge to their flop rock mop bop to flop about college, then to go wave flags at the Royal Wedding too - didn't much bother me when reading this. There's a place for the knowing, clever, contrived, well marketed and canny - the nauseating and shabbily unrepresentative of anything except a PR job reality that was been sold as satisfaction at the time probably, has it's place...
If those were the times, those were the times...?
Furthermore, by this account, the Brit Pop perpetuators seemed to have a RASPING time snorting coke, drinking the Groucho dry and shagging supermodels - but what did it offer anyone else...? The airbrushing of the 90's???
YOU'VE 'GOT' MONEY!!!
EVERYTHING IS GREAT!!!
Liam Gallagher sticking his fingers up...?
Jarvis Cocker pointing to his ass on stage with Jacko...?
It was cliched R'N'R
Rest and Recuperation...
It wasn't my bag musically or culturally
but it was good fun reading about it.
Once the hedonism tailed off though
this book tailed off...
Why...?
Well sadly James doesn't write half as well about his somewhat
HAND BRAKE TURN LOVE AND FAMILY LIFE!!!
as he does
THE WILD DECADENT SLAG TIMES!!!
Or even his youth...?
No boss, I got the impression the last 30 pages were something of a rush job that lacked the eloquence, thoughtfulness and wit of the first 2/3rds of the book.
Publisher breathing down his neck perhaps???
Or maybe his attempt to convince himself of his new found bliss doesn't quite ring true..?
I don't know
But overall it was a pretty good
read...
159
August 15th, 2011
So Nice Guy Dave has given his speech on
SORTING OUT THE MORAL MESS!!!???
Where did he give it...?
Broadwater Farm perhaps...?
Canary Wharf...???
The Pembury Estate...??
Peckham Townhall..???
Salford...????
Well no
He gave it in front of a lovely piece of permitted
URBAN
graffiti in a Youth Center in his leafy constituency small town of
Witney in nice rural Oxfordshire...
OH WHAT???
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THE WITNEY RIOTS???
THE BLOODIEST OF THE LOT!!!
EVERY WINDOW SMASHED IN THE HIGH STREET!!!
PENSIONERS GOING BONKERS LOOTING THE TEA SHOPS!!!
EARL GREY EVERYWHERE!!!
CHINAWARE LOOTING LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE!!!
Which makes me wonder what message is he trying to give...?
'OI SCUM!!! YOU SHOULD ALL BE LIKE MY LEAFY HOME TOWN WITNEY!!!'
I bet that's struck a chord...
I can see it now - all the looters watching the speech on their new 42" Plasma TVs
jaws on the floor...
TRANSFIXED!!!
'YO BRO!!! HE'S TALKING TO US!!! HE'S REALLY TALKING TO US!!!'
'MAN!!! I IS TAKING THIS X-BOX TO THE FILTH 'N' HANDING MYSELF IN!!!'
'WORD!!!'
Yes boss
If this kind of ballsy
PUBLIC SPEAKING
is going to arrest
MORAL DECAY
I'm a
cheese scone...

August 13th, 2011
Here's the
BOLLOX
to all this
EVICTING
RIOTERS
FROM THEIR COUNCIL HOUSES
SCHMOTSEY...
Those evicted won't end up homeless...
They'll move into Private Rented Accomodation
And put in a claim for Housing Benefit...
Yes boss
Private Rented Accomodation will cost a
FUCK OF A LOT MORE!!!
than some shoddy Council Flat or house
It'll probably be a
DAMN SITE NICER PLACE 'N ALL!!!
And the
OUTRAGED
Tax Payer will pick up the
BIGGER
bill...
What a
LOAD
of showboating
COUNTER PRODUCTIVE
MORE TAX ££££££££
nonsense the idea of evicting
truly
is...
Still if it keeps the Daily Mail happy...

'A student has today been jailed for six months for looting a £3.50 case of water from Lidl in Brixton, which seems to support the analysis provided by the Guardian datablog that magistrates appear to be taking a hard line with those convicted of riot-related offences.
Nicholas Robinson, 23, was walking back from his girlfriend's house in Brixton in the early hours of Monday morning when he saw the store on Acre Lane being looted.
Camberwell magistrates court heard the electrical engineering student took the opportunity to go in and help himself to a case of water because he was "thirsty".
But when the police came in, at around 2.40am, he discarded the bottles and attempted to flee the scene. He was caught and arrested by officers at the scene.'
FUCK MY SPATS!!!
Who was representing this guy...???
If he discarded the case of water inside the store
HOW IN THE HELL HAD HE LOOTED IT???
HE DIDN'T REMOVE IT FROM THE STORE!!!
This was Aggravated Trespass at worst...
Or Criminal Damage if the case of water was in any way tampered with by the Student of Engines
And with no previous a
GOOD
lawyer and a
Magistrate who DID THEIR FUCKING JOB PROPERLY
he'd be on for a Conditional Discharge...
DO ANY OF YOU PRICKS THINK JAILING A GUY FOR NOT LOOTING £3.50s WORTH OF WATER IS JUSTICE???
YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!!
156
August 11th, 2011
One of the MAIN reasons why I'm a fan of this recent batch of
RIOTING & GENERAL LAWLESSNESS!!!
(deaths and individual meanness aside)
is because I'd be a hypocrite not to be...
Yes boss
When I was the same age as these SATANIC RAT SCUM DEATH TRACKSUIT kids
I was out causing
MAYHEM & TROUBLE!!!
It was FUN and an IMPORTANT part of my education!!
And I'd recommend it to all...
Here follows a tarted up piece that details some of the HOWS and WHYS!!!
I originally posted on my old myspazz blog in June of 2008
'3 arrests in 5 months might sound like a decent rate of return for a nipper of 17/18 years of age, but compared with some of my co-conspirators, it was a very poor tally - indeed at times I felt like I wasn't pulling my weight....
Yes boss, by the time I was off the con mark, some of my workmates were already well into double figures for the year!!
But though multiple arrests ensured plenty of good press and a hearty feeling of self righteousness, it also meant a life dominated by court appearances, and after initially revelling in the
BADNESS
it soon became clear such a scenario wasn't the best strategy for a sustained campaign...
The Police without Sting...
The strange thing with my first 3 arrests (and for that matter those that have come since) is that the police have always made a nonsense of them...
Yes boss, down the years, I've done and still do plenty to warrant serious & minor convictions on completely legitimate terms
but each time I've been pulled
I'VE BEEN DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG!!!
As a result, I've never even been fined for a criminal action
let alone sentenced to prison...
Arrest Number 1
The first time I got the official wrong side of the law was at a demonstration against a quarry in Somerset.
The charge was Breach Of The Peace.
Now, what I actually did, was to wander about a quarry for a few hours, leave when asked to (under escort of the police) then immediately return, wherein I was arrested.
I was held for a little over 24 hours in Shepton Mallett nick and then cautioned in court the next day.
I later sued the Police for wrongful imprisonment, unlawful imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
They paid me £2000 in an out of court settlement.
Arrest Number 2
My second trip to the cells was a few weeks later at Twyford Down sight of the original Road Protest which (because it was 5 miles down the road from home and a birdwatching haunt) was where I spent most of my time...
The charge this time was a rather curious and illegal combination of
Breach of The Peace
AND
Obstruction of The Police
I was held for over 53 hours during which time the Razz attempted to bind us by bail conditions that would mean we couldn't go anywhere near the area of protest...
Being TOTALLY FUCKING HARDCORE!!!
we steadfastly refused them
and went on hunger strike to make it clear we weren't joking...
The Magistrate duly wussed out on the bail conditions and the minute we got out of the cells we went back on site to show The BBC around...
I was eventually convicted at Andover Magistrates of the illegally made up combination of charges and recieved a conditional discharge.
Later, by subpoenaing the polices own video evidence, as well as that taken by the Private Detectives (who were paid over £1M by the UK government to follow and spy on us) I successfully sued the police for wrongful imprisonment, unlawful imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
They paid out £4000 out of court, but I only got £3500.
The £500 I lost, was automatically deducted as 'costs' for the £1.4 million High Court Injunction, The Department of Transport had slapped on 68 of the most persistent Twyford Down offenders, of which I was one.
Basically, having tried the 'arrest and scare the hippies route' to no effect, The DoT and constructors Tarmac went to the High Court.
Once passed, the High Court Injunction banned us from an area of land the road was being built on. It also sought to claim the costs of the delays and the night time criminal damage to their works on the road up till that point...
This meant the 68 of us were collectively liable for this £1.4m, as well facing up to a month inside, for each time we were caught breaking the new rules.
Happy Birthday Paul!!!
I was issued with that injunction on the nail of my 18th birthday.
I remember the initial paperwork arriving on the mat with the birthday cards.
WELCOME TO THE ADULT WORLD PAUL!!!
HERE'S A HIGH COURT INJUNCTION!!!
YOU OWE US 1/68th of £1.4m!!!!!
So...
With the Injunction in place, and BIG prison waiting if we got caught breaking it
we had to shift our focus...
Arrest Number 3
was therefore for burglary in Wolverhampton.
This one was curious in that I was kind of guilty, but only in a ridiculous way.
What had happened was that we'd all gone up to Wolverhampton near Birmingham in order to raid the offices of Tarmac, the main contractor on the M3
In our minds it was a question of:
'If we can't bother you on the construction site, WE'LL COME TO YOUR FUCKING OFFICES INSTEAD!!!'
Yes boss
We'd turn up in broad daylight, ransack the office, ruin the hard drives, refile the cabinets, make a lot of noise, scare the secretaries, make phone calls to Zambia, steal anything useful, and then
GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!
before the police were organised enough get their feet off the fucking desk and pop round....
The day I got caught red handed, we'd had a lot of trouble getting inside the buildings - basically they were expecting us and had employed extra security and heavily locked all the doors.
However because Tarmac owned half of Wolverhampton, we eventually got inside a subsidiary office, wherein we caused havoc, threw selected contents of the office out of the window, and (for a reason to this day I still can't quite fathom), hung around long enough to get ourselves caught...
But that wasn't the only mistake I made.
No boss, it was clear we were FUCKED!!!!
when the police boot came through the door. I therefore immediately set about liquidating my pockets of the various bits and pieces I'd purloined, and prepared myself for another night in the cells.
Pockets cleared, I got dragged out (appearing on the local news which my parents happened to be watching whilst visiting friends in the Midlands - which REALLY MADE THEIR WEEKEND!!!) and was taken to the cop shop and searched..
Mistake number 2 was that I hadn't properly cleared my pockets.
No boss, remaining within those voluminous confines were some confidential MOD contracts and a nice colourful leaflet detailing the locations of all of Tarmacs offices countrywide.
And because they had nothing on anyone else (these were pre-CCTV days) I was put through the mill on 'Burglary' charges.
I was bailed and banned from Wolverhampton until after the trial
(a small mercy some might say)
Whilst my lawyers tried plea bargaining the charge to a simple Breach of The Peace (and given that I was already banned by way of the Injunction from the construction site) I figured it was time to go to Scotland, to get some fresh air and to find the wilderness...
Arrests 4, 5 and 6
I may go into later...'
155
August 10th, 2011
Today Cameron is talking about
"Pockets of our society are not just broke but frankly sick."
He's trying to claim that he's the man to sort that out
That the HOODIE SCUM FERAL DIRTY BLACK POOR RAT CROOKS
are going to listen to him
HE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE BAD APPLE SOCIETY!!!
But he doesn't have it
and he will fail...
Yes boss
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of rioting
YOUR opinion or mine?!?!
To criticise RIOTS!!! and those enacting them
you have to have the
moral authority to do so...
And the UK Government led by David Cameron doesn't have it
and neither do the M.O.R hordes
who suckle him and piously clean up the mess wearing T-shirts saying
LOOTERS ARE SCUM
No boss
On the very same day the riots were at their worst and DC was rolling up his towel and heading for the airplane
The UK Govt and it's gang
The Nato Boyz
were
BOMBING THE FUCK OUT OF LIBYA!!!
KILLING PEOPLE!!!
DESTROYING PROPERTY THAT DIDN'T BELONG TO THEM!!!
'Oh but that's different...'
NO IT'S FUCKING IDENTICAL!!!
It's one gang wilfully damaging someone elses property
AND KILLING PEOPLE
in order to engender financial and material gain that they feel entitled to own and control....
And then there's the looting banks
Scratched record I know
But in the years up to the 2008 financial DOOOOOMMMM
and since
Banks have acted
COMPLETELY A-MORALLY
FRANKLY SICK!!!
Deliberately fraudulent practices were widespread and commonplace
THEY STILL ARE!!!
Short Term Profits is all
Those boys KNEW that loses would come - that the debts were bad
But thinking and doing that kind of maths wasn't their concern
Their concern was to make as much money as possible in the short term
BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE!!!
The profits are then looted out of the business by way of wages, bonuses and dividends
The crash comes
There's insufficient cash to plug the holes
IT'S GONE!!!
it's been looted in bonuses, wages and dividends
The bank is bankrupt and should go out of business as would any other firm
But the banks are too BIG to fail and so the government were left with no choice but to pick up the debts or face the
COMPLETE
meltdown of the entire econommic system
BANKER BAILOUTS ARE A-MORAL
FULL STOP!!!
But what choice was there...?
There was a banky gun to the head...
But since then
The UK Government led this last year by David Cameron should have had 100s of bankers in court
They should have had vast units of Forensic Financial Police thoroughly investigating
deal by deal
how that crash came to pass (like they've done in Iceland)
Who was doing the duff deals (arrested and charged - their assets siezed)
What happened and who was responsible...?!?!
The bankers should now be clogging up the jails in their fucking pinstripes
But
NOT A SINGLE ONE
has done any time
or even been arrested
or investiagted...
Instead they've been bailed out
protected
and they carry on
LOOTING...
Yes boss
If you SERIOUSLY want to clear out the Bad Apples
you start at the top of the tree and work your way down
Cameron and the M.O.R think the
BIG FISH
are the pumped up
FUCKED OFF
CRIMINAL
kids...
That's INSANE
and wrong
The Hoddies won't listen to him
He'll change nothing
And soon they'll be many more on the streets...

August 9th, 2011
Everything was going so well for The Torys...
Boris was riding
HIGH
on his
bizarrzi presentatzio
his WOOF!!!
wordy buffonary
and his
BARCLAYS FUCKING BIKES!!!
Nice Guy Dave was close to convincing people he might have some kind of a
heart
That he was a Mark Ronson remix of conservatism
that
REALLY
FUCKING
cared...
There was the Royal Wedding...
We were reminded how much we
LOVE!!!
Our ruling dynasty of murderers, braindead psycotics and looters - whose haul in the British Museum and it's subsequent warehouses dwarfs even the best Tottenham hoodies
by about 400,000%..
OH HOW COMMON SHE IS!!!
IT COULD BE YOU.......!!!
All was well in slumberland...
Until the
CRASH BANG WALLOP OF
NIGGA'S IN HATS AND HOODS
AND
IN ATTAKKKK MODE!!!
Yes boss
The holiday is over...
YES DAVID GET OFF YOUR FUCKING SUN LOUNGER!!!
'What darling...is it Rebecca...More Rupert?'
'It's more serious than that David - it's KIDS!!! (and my name is Sam...)'
Yes boss
THE HOLIDAY IS OVER!!!
And so
Though I know it's tantamount to a
10 year crime
in itself to admit
to all you strung up TV addicts...
I LOVE THESE RIOTERS!!!
Yes boss
I LOVE THEIR SPUNK!!!
THEIR FEARLESSNESS!!!
THEIR WOEBEGOTTEN MISGUIDED STUPID BLUSTER!!!
and their
YOUTHFUL DON'T GIVE A FUCK FIRE!!!
I think this
'I WANT IT!!'
RAGE
is genuine
And i don't think it's gonna go away no matter how many kids get locked up into
Universities Of Higher Crime...
So there

I had a wierd nights sleep...
Make that 2 wierd nigths sleep
A ward is not the easiest environment, especially when the temperature is well over 30 degrees and you're on an horrendous middle dip plastic mattress with a plastic duvet...
Interesting dreams though
I always find I have good dreams when I'm not drinking - or maybe I just remember them better...???
I had one about Winehouse the other day
She was all front of house
smiley
clean
normal.
I'd turned up. The building was something between a Doctors Surgery and a pub. She figured I was there to investigate her sobriety and so she was exhibiting it - but that wasn't what I was there for.
I WAS JUST THERE
She twigged this after a while and went out back to a room
'He's fine, he's not here to investigate...'
And then she showed me into this room and shut the door behind me...
There slumped was maybe 8 quite regular looking people
ALL COMPLETELY SMACKED OUT OF THEIR HEADS!!!
Needles hanging out of their flesh
eyes gone
dribbling
slumped
babbling...
There was a couple with a baby - they were both DELERIOUS and the baby was crawling over them like babies do...
Last night it was initially a VERY erotic dream...
Something to do with a camp on a beach with all these available women.
A HOT DAY!!!
On the way back from the beach it became all baboon carousel like...
People swinging around this network of wooden posts in some kind of wierd mating selection ritual
The availability was going though...
Faces were changing
A small peculiar very very small dark haired person
But it didn't fit
No reason why
it didn't fit...
I was awoken this morning by a Japanese nurse
'Last time for the toilet now for 2 hours...'
she said
Relieved and washed
I got a riot update from the online papers before work began...
CANULA (very adeptly inserted with an anaesthethic)

August 7th, 2011
WELL THAT WAS ALL RATHER FURIOUS!!!
And it looks like it's not over yet...
I'm of course talking RIOT!!!
MENTAL!!!
BIG!!!
OVERDUE!!!
I saw a twit last night about 2 burning police cars rolling down Tottenham High Road
I didn't quite believe it...
Had a look a the twitterer and it looked like some kind of football joke...
Set on having an earlyish night
didn't look any further...
Then I'm here on the ward this morning and I see the papers...
The Mail had it up front
A BIG BURNING PICTURE!!!
THE MAIL LOVES THIS SHIT!!!
FUCK!!!
I browsed all the papers over breakfast
then online
and the scale and brazeness of the looting in particular was striking...
BOLD!!!
FEARLESS!!!
Folk realised in that FIRE moment they had greater numbers, local knowledge, RAGE!!! JEALOUSY and POWER!!!
Like the politicians, the Police were on Holiday - the rioters spread out
and helped themselves...
Like everyone else other than those who ACTUALLY DID it
I'm not sure just why this one guys death has become the flashpoint?!!?
But every time I travel through Wood Green, Bounds Green, Tottenham or Edmonton - Edmonton in particular, there's an atmosphere to the youth.
You get the impression there's a lot of kids who don't feel much a part of any kind of Big Society - a lot of
SIMMERING RAGE!!!
DISSAFECTION!!!
And last night the pop
TOPPED OFF!!!
Is RIOTING!!! good...?
Not good - but often necesary or else the criminal power elite get out of hand...
Especially now, when Police Authority has come close to being unquestionable, intrusive and very oppresive.
When floppy haired pop star kids get ABSURD sentences for being a bit messed up on drugs and disaffected
Bankers get bailed out for their DELIBERATE criminal fraud mistakes
Everyone else gets CUT
The politicians in £1000 a night suites
They should be in stocks
The Pie Thrower's in jail
The temperature's RISING...
Murdoch's on his jet
The kids are in JD Sports
NO I DON'T WANT TO PAY BY FUCKING CARD!!!
Yes boss
The imbalance is currently
FAR TOO GREAT
between the haves and have nots...
And there's no accountability for those at the top...
And so I'm pleased that people are loosing their fear...
Whether it be over one mans unexplained death
Or simply
TOO MUCH UNBALANCED 'I WANT IT TOO' SHIT!!!
Like it or not...
NOTHING
gets the attention quite so well as does
RIOTING!!!

Medical Trial
End of Day 1
3 or 4 people have been sent home now...
There's always a few reserves who get paid for a day to come and wait and see if someone either doesn't turn up or doesn't pass the entrance tests.
Last time I was one of these. In between arriving and the end of the first morning I manifested conjunctivitis - I picked it up from my daughter who'd had it the previous week. Knowing it would mean expulsion from the trial and the £1800, I tried hiding it for most of the day, but conjunctivitis is a difficult thing to hide beyond a point.
It felt like quite a failure to have to leave early.
Today the guy opposite but 1 was sent home for having too quick a heart rate.
Those of us who remain did inhaler practise just before dinner.
They said that inhaler had 'nothing' in it - but I could certainly taste something. It might not have been a drug, but there was a taste to that fresh air - a bit like mild sweetener.
Tomorrow it's 4 inhalers, 1 after the other - 4 questionnaires...
A cannula with periodic blood tests taken
And all urine collected in big plastic bottles.
The crowd here are pretty calm...
The 2 ladies have survived the cut and at dinner they were doing the most talking. The men are mostly quite passive and controlled. You get some PROPER CHIMPANZEES in these trials. BIG HORNY SMELLY UNCOUTH APES!!! I don't see any such this time.
This looks like it'll become something of a matriarchy...

August 7th, 2011
More early Trial observations...
4) It took me
2 AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS TO GET HERE!!!
A journey of not much more than 30 miles?!!
(off the top of my head)
Why is it when in London
one doen't think twice about short journeys
as
ACTUALLY BEING
long journeys....?
5) The guy next bed right
SNORES!!!
6) I forgot to load any music onto my laptop
All I have is a coupla Fellini & Rossolini Films
COUNTLESS HEAVY DARK 9/11 FILMS
And about 40 episodes of the Alex Jones Show
7) LUNCH IS SERVED!!!

August 7th, 2011
Here's a few preliminary observations of this here Trial:
1)
It's a Trial that's researching asthma drugs
I feel SURE these drugs could also have a performance enhancing effect for cyclists and other athletes.
One of the drugs is
BRAND SPANKING NEW!!!
I wonder if it's in the Peloton yet...?
2)
There are 2 girls doing this trial:
Ladies....
Put yourself in this position
YOU
are on a very hot and sweaty ward in the middle of nowhere
SURROUNDED BY
SWEATY
SLEEPY
LAZY
IDIOTIC MEN!!!
(me being the exception of course)
Yes boss
It's a mixed sex ward
And so it will be a fascinating dynamic...
I predict these ladies will soon become
CELEBRITIES!!!
Yes boss
Some of the boys have already started on basic moves of
RUSHING
TO THE (non caffeine) TEA MACHINE!!!
to help the prettiest of the 2
with her tea making
should she need any help...
(that was within the first 2 hours)
3)
No-one is yet talking much...
I find on these trials you often get 1 or sometimes 2 or 3 people
who either need to have their fears allayed and so enquire to all as to
WHAT IN THE FUCK HAPPENS IF?!?!
or
Folk who are veterans of MANY medical trials who feel they have to share their
VAST
knowledge of Trials
in
GREAT AND BORING DETAIL!!!
Over lunch...
It's like when you do Extras work on films
THE SAME FUCKING CONVERSATIONS!!!
OVER AND OVER AGAIN....
'Yes, actually I'm an ACTOR!!! Do you act...? I once said 'TAKE A HIKE COPPER!!!' in The Bill...'
etc
Thankfully this one is so far quiet
Everyone is either asleep
or in their little virtual world...
It's often quiet until the evening meal time
Then people start coming out of their shells
Let's see what happens...

August 7th, 2011
Anyway...
Here I am back on ward at a drug testing facility I won't name for now because they might not like the idea of me
LIVE BLOGING
them
and I need to complete this to get PAID!!!
For 8 of the next 31 days I'll be here on the ward without my dual props of
caffeine and booze...
In this time
(ALONGSIDE INHALING PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS)
I will be endeavouring to steal a
BIG OLD MARCH!!!
on the blog backlog...
Yes boss
Last night as I was vainly trying to sleep
I wasn't kept awake by the idea that I might die horribly on the ward
so much as
THIS BLOG BACKLOG IS GETTIN WAY OUT OF HAND!!!
IT NEEDS TO BE REIGNED IN!!!
So here we go with a veritable feast
of
words...
147
August 7th, 2011You know I don't like to be controversial...
But I have no sympathy for this unfortunate young man killed in Norway by
No boss
Look at it this way...
If a Polar Bear went wandering across the cricket pitch at Eton
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE RESPONSE WOULD BE?!!?!?
'BALLY HO!!! FLUFFIE'S AT SQUARE LEG!!! BOWL HIM A SIZZLER TIMSBURY!!!'
????
NO!!!
It'd be Police marksmen at dawn (or Royal Protection Officers)
whoever was closest
AT THE DOUBLE
MACHINE GUNNING IT'S MISGUIDED FURRY ASS OVER THE
FUCKING BOUNDARY ROPES FOR 6 MORE!!!
Meantime
all the boys would be cock-
NO!!!
LOCKED
in the showers chattering into their towels...
WHAT IN THE FUCK WERE THESE RICH KIDS DOING IN THAT BEAUTIFUL GREAT BASTARDS TERRITORY ANYWAY???
Looking for a good spot for their 4th house...???
‘I believe that’s what they want to do. They feel it is right they should be there.’
says the boys Aunt...
The main problem with Eton boys is
They THINK they have the right to be
EVERYWHERE...
Every death is of course sad
But I'm afraid the one that saddens me the most here
is the bear...

So Obama is in, and he's lived up to his promise of eating out and smarming the world with his Valentines Day routine (gym, hoops, dinner with the wife)...
But thus far, his policies are proving to very unimpressive indeed...
Yes boss, bank bail outs are a crime and aren't gonna do the job.
GM and Chrysler should be helped to die..
And what in the hell kind of a FULL AND COMPLETE withdrawal is leaving 50,000 troops in Iraq???
Yes boss, rather than the promised FULL AND COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL IN 18 MONTHS, the Big O is now saying that's not possible and the best he can do is maybe have only 50,000 on-board by then...
It's certainly a step in the right direction, but it's nothing close to what was said on the tin, and even this limited 'withdrawal' depends on conditions on the ground, and therefore relies very heavily on Iraq staying (relatively) calm...
Would McCain have come up with anything very much different and less radical???
I doubt it - but then I'd have no more of trusted McCain with my oven chips than with the biggest power job in the world....
My problem with Obama remains that he's got no solidity of footing...
As with Tony Blair, it's all about appearances, manipulations, faux liberality and trying to be cool...
A withdrawal of troops was the promise - a semi-withdrawal and the re-naming of 50,000 trained US Soldiers as being 'Bobbies on the Beat' and 'Team I-raq Trainers' is the reality...
It's window dressing gesture politics - nothing more...

A few days ago, I stumbled upon some ceremony on TV, that rightly revered the remarkably composed pilot who landed the plane into the River Hudson..
After the praise
HE
was put in front of a committee and he said something to the effect that
'If you keep cutting back on air crew training costs, NEXT TIME EVERYONE DIES!!!'
Well...
This news piece was interspersed with 3 or 4 different angles of various CCTV footage showing that plane coming down and
landing in the Hudson..
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING RIVER!!!
Which made me wonder...
If there are 3 or 4
(albeit rough)
CCTV versions of that particular plane landing COMPLETELY UNEXPECTEDLY in the middle of a FUCKING RIVER...?!?!
WHY IN THE HELL ARE THERE STILL NO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IMAGES OF A PLANE HITTING THE WORLDS MOST SURVEILED BUILDING
THE PENTAGON?!?!!?
ON SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001???

Jesus....?!?!?
Do you ever get these moments in life where a wierd, confusing and unusual energy seems to follow your every move and deal???
I had one such about 6 months after I first moved into London in 2002....
Then, my personal life was a mess and I was getting through about £2000 of the banks money per month - but those weren't the main problems...
No boss, the bigger fish were that if I touched a machine it broke. If I sat under some shelves they fell down. If I walked down the street chaos would follow, and if I sat trying not to be seen, it'd be a matter of minutes before some premier oddball would be in my face gyrating my nerves...
Well, I'm both sorry and pleased to say I'm having one such 'chaos' this last week...
Yes boss, this time, my personal life is absolutely fine (other than when I insisted on walking the baby across the park in the dark, against Mrs G's advice)
I am however having real machine troubles...
It goes like this:
In the space of the last 6 days I've sold 7 laptops on ebay...
By last night, 2 of the buyers had pulled out because they're twats, leaving me with the listing costs and the no money I was expecting and relying upon - meantime 2 others had reported problems and requested full refunds...
In that same time, I've also bought 5 laptops to upgrade, adapt and sell on...:
Of these, one of the sellers appears to have done a runner with my £70, 1 is yet to appear and the other 3 are still in the box - where they'll stay until I can face opening it, in case there's 3 fucking house bricks in there...
Add onto this that last night, a hard drive and laptop of my own broke inside an hour, and then at the end of the night my BASTARD PINK BARBIE TAPE PLAYER WOULDN'T RELEASE THE FUCKING EDDIE IZZARD CASSETTE?!?!? and you'll perhaps understand that I'm feeling a little ragged...
Well, I figured today was a new day - but this morning, the wierdness has continued....
Yes boss, another 2 of the sold laptops have developed problems and everyone wants refunds that I don't have, because I've spent the bleeding money on crap like this gold plated Swarovski fish (that I've spent all afternoon photographing)....
Meanwhile, the rent is late, the electric bill isn't paid, the undersoil heating is coming on and off when it pleases, the cooker is HOT mental and a valve from the pump has disappeared...
All of this leads me to ask:
WHERE IN THE FUCK IS MAGIC MESSIAH OBAMA WHEN YOU NEED HIM???? NEVERMIND AMERICA AND THE FREE FUCKING WORLD - COME AND SAVE THE PAUL GIOVANNI CORPORATION WHY DON'T YOU????!!!!
Of course, some would say that all of this chaos isn't quite the ideal backdrop for the first month of fatherhood...
But I think the idea that you need to be super clever settled and loaded with cash in order to have children is bollocks...
I mean, what better way to recover your tempo after a bad run of luck, than to cuddle a little warm bundle of thing, who couldn't care less if the world stops turning, SO LONG AS SHE GETS HER MILK AND CAN FART, SHIT AND BURP CORRECTLY....!!
Anyway....
Because I have £5 or 600s less than I should have I'm conducting another BIG fire sale of the Giovanni archive....!!
Yes boss, due to nappy changing and photo editing, very little of this stock is now online - but some is, and every all bit of it is available to view and buy from the Fishy Fort...
So if any of you have any CASH£$£$£$£$£ money and want to come and get some super deals on anything I own (EXCEPT THE GOLDEN FISH!!!), drop me a line and come on over....!

I'm about 400% sure a US Debt Ceiling deal will be
AGREED!!!
at the last minute...
For me the whole thing is a
BLUFF FLUFFY BLUFF
from the real issues of
banks
the federal reserve
and the truth of how they operate...
That said
I'd like to be wrong on this...
Yes boss
In the long run both economically and politically
DEFAULT WOULD BE GOOD!!!
The ceiling has become
WAY TO HIGH
It needs to see
EARTH...
And so
if there is
NO
last minute back slapping agreement
it would seem to slightly disprove the idea that he
2 hand socked puppets of US politics have the very
SAME
hand up their
ass...
That there is some
GENUINE
difference and variation between the Democrats & Republicans
That democracy in some form does still exist in the
USA
That's something I'd like to be able to
SEE
and believe in...

Here's the main thing that strikes me about the musical legacy of the latest member of the 27 Club
Amy Winehouse
:
How little work she managed to do in her 27 years...?!?!
2 released albums (1 that's VERY average and another that's better)
and another said to be in the can...
Jimi Hendrix died at 27 - in his lifetime he released a mere 3 LPs
Each of these are however INCREDIBLE!!!
Hendrix also played ABSURD numbers of gigs under his own banner
Played backing for Little Richard & Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Curtis Knight, The Isley Brothers and many more before even releasing his own stuff...
He left tonnes of material in the archive that's dripped out since
He also done a few years in the army...
Jim Morrison
6 LPs - variable - but all of them good enough
+ loads more that's dripped out since...
Lost of gigs...
Robert Johnson recorded very little - but he played gigs more or less every day and laid the founding stones for Blues & Rock N Roll...
Even Kurt Cobain managed 3 LPs before he
BOSHED HIS COSH OFF!!!
Sure
Amy was busy taking drugs
playing pool
and drinking for large portions of time - but then so where all of the above...
For me her whole musical legacy depends on this third LP
and whatever other material is knocking about in the vault...
If it's decent it'll go someway to cementing her legend...
If not?
I imagine she'll soon fade to
HARD colour
celebrity lite...

So...
it's only a day to go until Bush crawls under one, and the Messiah takes office and I'm dreading the transition far more than I thought possible...
Yes boss, soon, we're gonna have a 'cool hoop shooting' guy in the White House - the worlds biggest military empire is undergoing a PR job and anyone who doesn't subscribe is gonna be labeled a hope killing cunt....
'But Obama's so smart - HE'S REALLY GONNA CHANGE THINGS!!!!'
Yes, he's very very smart, he's a conservative dressed as a liberal, who's cleverly used colour and guile to engender himself with the top power job in the world..... !!
But as with so many supposed great leaders, the only thing that'll change under his rule will be perceptions and appearances - the fundamentals of life,death, money and power will remain largely the same:
People will still cheat, inspire, rob, hope and lie, they'll love, mate and hate - wars will start and others will finish...
Yes boss, like all who've come to power before him, Obama'll sort some HIGH PROFILE things good, and ruin others less obvious on the quiet..
And over time people'll realise he's just another raging ego maniac playing with the world...
Another Gandhi, Jesus, and Stalin, who promises it all, then leaves in a wooden box to eternal glory, or overstays his welcome and leaves in disgrace...
So as I've said before, if I had the choice, I'd rather have a dumb half witted hate worthy cunt in charge of an empire, than a smooth talking nice guy with a Blackberry (TM) and an organic bag of credibility..
Yes boss, by all means, give me hope - but please don't attach a politician....

OK...
So there's no confusion...
the blogs I had
HACKED
some little while ago are going to be reposted on here
perhaps with a little doctoring and improvement...
Each time I post one of them it will have the words
'NEW NON MONEY FOR OLD ROPE'
in the title...
These blogs were all originally written in 2008/09
Let's see how they
STAND UP?!?!

July 25th, 2011
CINDERS AND ASHES!!!
I might not be Thomas The Tank Engine
but I am going to let off a
little
STEAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!
Yes boss
This blog was on a roll until little over 2 weeks ago...
NEW MATERIAL WAS WELL DEVELOPED!!!
finished material was
HITTING IT'S MARKS!!!
Shit...
I'd even found the lost quadfector of blogs tarted
MINUTES
after the myspace ones ended (which were then hacked by some kindly friend of the Paul Giovanni Coproration) on an old hard drive & had them rubbed down, plump and ready to be redeployed as filler...
THE WRITTEN WORLD WAS MY OYSTER!!!
And then I get news from the kindly landlord of this here office/nervous center...
That further to mine and others requests
he didn't wish to engage in a regular and human level of toilet cleaning
(uncleaned for 3 months and counting)
PURE FUCKING SHAMEFULLY EMBARASSING FILTH!!!
Neither did he wish to connect the hot water to the sink in the office unit we've been renting for a year for the very first time..?!?!
He instead kindly suggested he'd not like to renew the lease and supplied with notice that the unit must be vacated by August 31st
Well...
I can't say i was greatly suprised by this...
Scum landlords like those running and owning units let by spacedup don't like educated people with basic standards as tennents...
They see such folk as being troublemakers
Yes boss
These shitheads like nice dopey middle class kids who's mums pays the bills
They like dozey half cut
obediant
pretend artists on a respsonsibility vacation who can be easily manipulated into thinking
PAYING
to live and work in squats is a groovy part of growing up...
Folk who think suffering is good for them
cause they haven't really suffered...
I talk generally of course...
There are I'm sure many other decent folk about these parts who somehow manage to tolerate these landlords
I don't know how they manage it...?!?
Perhaps they wipe their arse with each banknote before placing them in an envelope and handing them over with a grin?!?!
Yes boss
Scum landlords like those who own and manage setups like spacedup here on Fish Island clearly aren't the brightest of the bunch - they probably don't notice the funny whiff when they open the envelopes...
No boss
If you're so inept you can't fix lightbulbs, plug holes in the roof, fix broken windows (12 in one of their buildings alone) you're probably not going to notice the smell of money on shit...
Which makes you wonder how they live...?!?
At home do they piss in a corner and have their wife clear it up?!?!
Shit, I wonder if they're even out of nappies...?!?!
Anyway...
The new NERVE CENTER panic isn't over - I don't have a clear idea of where next
But I am very glad the company won't be passing them any more rent
They'll no doubt find some slovenly prick to take my place - maybe a pig of some kind?
A hairy little warthog??
Meantime I'll be getting back to the writing...

making 'development' plans behind my back...

SOUNDS LIKE TREASON!!!
I therefore have my fishy fish boys browsing this
'plan'
at their
BUBBLE BUBBLE
leisure
and they are preparring my opinions and feedback...
The FISH BOYS are mostly thorough
but i took a quick browse myself and
MY!!!
initial thoughts are:
- 5 NEW BRIDGES IS TOO MANY!!! THE LAST THING WE NEED HERE IS MORE RIFF RAFF and through traffic!!!
- BULLDOZE THE 600 ARTISTS STUDIOS IN FISH ISLAND MID INTO ONE BIG ONE WITH MY FACE ON IT!!!
- ALL THIS PLANNED EXPANSION COULD BE VERY GOOD FOR THE FIZZY WINE BUSINESS!!!
- Errrr....PAGE 23 PARAGRAPH 3
- If the Olympic Village is counted as now being INCLUDED within the borders of Fish Island, surely I get first dibs on Usain Bolts RAPIDLY VACATED bunk bed...?
- The canal is an OPEN FUCKING SEWER not a 'RESOURCE'
More to follow...

FISH ISLAND NEWS!!!
There's currently
A LOT
of
Fish Island
news...
And so it's coming by way of 3 or 4 blogs...
This is the first...
Last Thursday
Andy
The concierge at my former
OFFICIAL UPWARDLY MOBILE RESIDENCE
Got
SMASHED AROUND THE FACE!!!
with a
metal object
and
KNOCKED CLEAN OUT!!!
by some young men hawking about in attempt to appropriate unused scrap metal
?!?!
I stumbled upon the aftermath of said incident whilst attending to the delivery of a small consignment of Spanish Biodynamic Wine.
Andy was standing there holding a bag of peas to the side of his face
with Mayo the concierge from the block of flats up the way on the phone
the guy who seems to manage the Chapman Brothers Studio was smoking a roll up
and a guy from floor 4 was weeding the gravel
+ me PG3 (lurking - pretending to be a wine dealer)
We all stood about like
REAL MEN!!!
Chatting about
WHAT AN OUTRAGE!!! it was
what had EXACTLY happened
waiting for the PO-LICE to come
pretending that if
THE DIRTY BASTARDS CAME BACK FOR MORE WE'D NAIL THEM GOOD AND PROPER!!!
YES BOSS!!!
ARE WE NOT MEN???
But what HAD happened...?
Well
What had happened was that 2 guys in a flatbed had followed another PERMITTED van in through the
DAS BOOT Security Gates
They requested the availability of the Chapmans forklift
the hippie graffitied van
and then the left over
SECURITY
fencing...
Andy
TOLD them where to go
and the last he remembers is one of them picking up something in his peripheral
metal
BANG!!!!
then waking up a minute or 2 later on the floor...
Sadly the UNNECESSARILY VIOLENT OPPORTUNIST SCUM!!!
managed to drive out and away
but the (stolen?) number plate is apparently on CCTV
Meantime the PO-LICE were too busy on strike
or policing the demos of those
on strike
to be able to send a car down...
Which was HUGELY DISRESPECTFUL!!!
Because
Andy is a MUCH LOVED LEGEND of Fish Island and never one to shirk his responsibilities of
PROTECTING THE REALM!!!
Yes boss
Once i saw him arguing
VEHEMENTLY
with a guy dressed in BT Unifrom in a BT van
'But how do I know you're from BT...? You can't just come in here an say you're from BT...'
BRILLIANT!!!
NEVER BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE!!!
ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS!!!
It got heated
and in another way it was
CLASSIC FUTILITY!!!
2 people neither of whom much wanted their job but know they need to have it
arguing about why they
NEED
to have to do their job...?!?!
Anyway...
Andy took a long weekend off and is back today
His head doesn't look quite right
But thankfully he doesn't seem overly bothered by the whole experience...

In celebration of Les Tour 2011
and in a perhaps futile attempt to run down both my cycling archive
AND
my bar bill at Harmonicande Vintners Ltd
I've dedicated myself to selling 21 Tour de France related pieces of memorabilia in the next 21 days - one for each stage of The Tour...
Yes boss
I might be the incumbent
Head Of Propaganda
at Harmonicande Vintners Ltd
but unfortunately that doesn't allow me to drink quite as much of the Office Wine Supply as I do without making a financial contribution to its up keep...
No boss
Harmonicande is still small and so all bottles
MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR!!!
Sure 3 or 4 can disappear
but not £500 quids worth (at cost price) in the last 4 months...
And so after a good few months of not paying my monthly bill because of
PERSONAL ECONOMIC GLOOM
I now need to chisel some of it off
PRONTI QUA!!!
or else
it'll run out of control
and
I'LL BE RUN OUT OF OFFICE!!!!
So what better way to start on this
WINE AUSTERITY
than by selling off some the edges of my cycling archive in such a way that I will maybe not notice they've gone...!??!
WINE FOR HEALTH!!!
LE TOUR!!! LE TOUR!!!
Oh shit, whatever happened to that signed cap..?!?
Yes boss
I collect TAT of all kinds like bankers collect luxury yachts
and some of it is worth money
and so it's time to do some cashing in...
This undertaking (as per with the race itself) will start off relatively easily
but become HARDER on my hoarding instinct as the days roll on...
STAGE BY STAGE
The fat will be burned off
21 items in 21 days
One per day - or thereabouts...
To liven up the listings, I'll be giving a little race commentary on each
and I'll sumarise that on this nere blog every now and then so my
FANTASTIC INSIGHT
and befuddled amateur guessing
doesn't go to waste..!)
Most of the sales will be done by
BUY IT NOW!
The prices will start high and slowly reduce as we near Paris...
So without further ado
go have a CLICK ANY OF THE PICTURES!!!
to see what's
so far
there...

Libya Re-Evaluated Pt 2
So....
Specifically the following things roused me about the
who
what
and whyfore
with this alleged Libyan Revolution:
With regards to the Twitter campaign:
Obvious propaganda techniques being used - pictures of corpses, claims of HUGE body counts, claims of anti aircraft guns being used on civilians - to name a few...
The anonymity of almost all of those Twitter representing the revolution (the reason given Gadaffi would hunt them down - WHEREVER THEY WERE!!! even though they were sure he was a dead duck swimming and would be dead or out of power within days)
The story about the Libyan Benghazi Pilot who was alleged to have KAMIKAZIED his plane into Gadaffis compound KILLING one of the Gadaffi sons...
The Mi6/CIA guy who defected - Koussa
The endless exageration of the number and ACTUAL military power of the revolutionaries
The endless exageration of the number and role of African Mercenaries - and the brutal treatment meted out to them when they or in fact anyone who looked a bit foreign were caught by the revolutionaries...
And more...
Well
All these things could be and might yet be proved to be tactical fog of war shit and or REAL...
I noticed them from early on - but figured the rebels were busy RUNNING A TYRANT OUT OF POWER!!!
Someone like Gadaffi isn't going down without bloodshed
Who was I to criticise them...?
EXAGERATION is a part of war...
But then I began to read pieces about The US Government strategically using Twitter and Facebook in order to manipulate world political events and engender regime change...
Yes boss
Since the uprising in Egypt I'd become very wary of the way HUGE American social media (CIA) corporations were being credited with effectively running the revolutions as US backed Regime Changes?!?!
LIKE BIZ FIZZJOBBLER WAS ON THE STREETS OF CAIRO TAKING HITS FROM THE STASI HIMSELF?!?!?
Then and now it seemed a VERY long bow that social networks were behind the revolutions - or had even done that much to facilitate them.
Not that many Egyptians have computers...
That all seemed more like advertising and false boasting...?!?!
Yes boss
Though I remain 'out' on what in the fuck actually did happen in Egypt for now
(Without question a populist revolution (apparently MUCH MORE POPULIST than the Libyan) but promoted and managed by who...?)
One thing is for sure...
I NEVER trusted that Google Exec
@ghonim
one single bit....
He looked, smelt and acted like a set up stool - if he was REAL in any kind of meaningful way
I'm a peach...
Back to Libya
Shortly before the bombing started there came reports of The Transitional Council in Libya and the rebels fighting being laden with
KNOWN
Al Qaeda operatives started to emerge
That the Eastern area of Libya had supplied an
INORDINATE per head of population
number of 'foreign fighters' to Iraq - 2nd only to Saudi Arabia
and that they all came from the East...
I questioned one of the Twitterers on that - quoted the US Government Report that quoted the stats...
And the guy was very dismissive - 'There's no way Al Quaeda are involved, if we find them, we'd kill them ourselves - this is a popular revolt...'
'But several of the guys in the TNC have history and many others aren't even named...?!?!'
He wasn't having it...
The next thing that ASTONISHED me
and in fact the
SMOKING GUN
in terms of my suspicions about the REALITY was that a
'No Fly Zone' for the alleged benefit and protection of civilians
has in fact turned out to be a war to depose Gadaffi
AT ALL COSTS!!!
Yes boss
Not only are NATO BOMBING THE CRAP OUT OF ALL MANNER OF TARGETS - many of which have no elevance to maintaining air superiority, they have Special Forces troops on the ground - and most likely many more troops going in before too very long...
I understood a 'No Fly Zone' to be a ban on flying planes and perhaps limited take out of air defences
I also understood the Libyan Twitterers to be against anything more than that...
At the time they were saying it's
'ONLY A MATTER OF DAYS!!! Just get rid of the planes and we'll sweep through to Tripoli and have the Colonel dangling from his tiddlies within hours...'
Now that seemes to have changed...
It was all becoming very VERY confusing...
and so I wrote this blog
http://paulgiovanni.com/blogs/blog5.php/2011/03/01/61
and then this one
http://paulgiovanni.com/blogs/blog5.php/2011/04/05/77
and shortly after deleted my Twitter account...
Since deleting that particular Twitter Account
I've found much more to concern me...
http://www.english.rfi.fr/print/95867?print=now
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28425.htm
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28431.htm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcs6S1k3W5k
to name but a few...
This could of course be me reading the WRONG propaganda - IT'S MORE OR LESS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE SURE?!?!?
But I know that I don't trust Obama an inch
nor Sarkozy
nor Cameron
and when the 3 of them are clubbing together having a quiet
AND VERY EXPENSIVE
war on the side with
INCREDIBLE STRATEGIC AND RESOURCE IMPORTANCE
claiming to be only there for the civilians
!?!?
PULL THE OTHER ONE...
As for the Twtterers...?
4 months later
very few territorial gains have been made
Despite the Colonel being under intense aerial bombardment, sanctioned to shit and apparently COMPLETELY SURROUNDED by 6 million mostly armed people
who they led me to believe
to a man woman and child
HATED HIS FUCKING GUTS!!!
makes me doubt them even more...
At a push
I can still believe the revolution was started by Libyans who HATE Gadaffi (even though even that is open to doubt)
But it has without any question become a land and resource grab
Brtain, US & France in paticular want a government that COMPLETELY suits their commercial interests
and they want China out and away.
It's a part of a BIGGER and rolling campaign to control the worlds resources...
It's
NOTHING
to do with protecting civilians
But then
If history is a VERY difficult thing to know then the
TWITTER TRACT SOCIAL MOBILARI
present
is moving into the realms of the
'impossible to know...'

Libya Re-Evaluated Pt 1
If history is a VERY difficult thing to know then the
TWITTER TRACT SOCIAL MOBILARI
present
is moving into the realms of the
'impossible to know...'
Yes boss
In this day and age when methods and angles of official misinformation
and MASS media agenda
are compounded by the countless valid and invalid thoughts and opinions of millions of online DIY experts
getting a clear and proper idea of the times and on which side you stand is close to impossible...
Case in point
Libya
6 months ago, when things started stirring there
I became easily and totally convinced by what I assumed and believed to be a genuine group of disaffected
LIBYAN TWITTER REVOLUTIONARIES!!!
@ShababLibya
@Tripolitanian
@Feb17libya
and many others
Yes boss
The uprising in Libya started and
the impression these people gave was as follows:
GADAFFI IS MAD!!!
HE IS HATED ROUNDLY BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF LIBYANS!!!
HE'S A HORRENDOUS, VICIOUS AND BRUTAL DICTATOR!!!
THE LIBYANS HAVE GOT HIM THIS TIME!!!
IN MINUTES AND HOURS HE WILL FALL!!!
any minute...
It was a brilliantly contrived agenda
that was delivered perfectly by way of Twitter
So convincing was it
that I believed these people and their cutting edge new media and message approach
almost totally.
They seemed like genuine downtrodden solid revolutionary individuals who'd simply
TAKEN TOO MUCH SHIT!!!
from a bonkers ruler who'd overstayed his welcome like few others...
These heroic folk then saw the potential of Twitter and Facebook
THEY WERE PIRATE SCOIAL NETWORK GENUISES!!!
FREEDOM LOVING SUBVERSIVE HEROES!!!
MY BULLSHIT DETECTORS ONLY EVER SMELT FLOWERS IN THEIR HAIR!!!
So
I DIVED IN AND TOOK THE RIDE!!!
THE LIBYAN TWITTER REVOLUTION BECAME MY TWITTER REVOLUTION!!!
I did my very best to retwit and poularize more or less everything they said
I wrote blogs like this one and this one
My Twitter timeline
WORKED FOR THEM!!!
But at about the time the NATO bombs started dropping i started to get a little wary...
Yes boss
I still now believe that these people could ALL indeed be
EXACTLY GENUINE AND LIBYAN
in their hatred of Gadaffi
Gadaffi clearly isn't everyones cup of tea
I doubt he's a nice guy LOVED by ALL his people
No boss
there is NO leader in the world, good bad or indifferent who doesn't have a pahlanx of
PISSED OFF
people
who
HATE THEM AND WHAT TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN FED TO HUNGRY RATS!!!
And increasingly
these people use Twitter
But THE question I found myself asking more and more as time went on was
are those grievances really the
FORCE and POWER
behind this situation...?
Even if the people on Twitter are REAL people
have they got anything at all to do with the
WHY
Nato is BOMBING THE FUCK OUT OF LIBYA???
How legitimate is the cause..?
Just
HOW
many Libyans want Gadaffi out...?
Yes boss
Once the
'no fly zone'
quickly became
ALL OUT WAR
(on the quiet)
Sarkozys Falklands
MAN OF PEACE Obamas 4th (at least) war (his first in his role as Monarch of the USA)
I began to see more and more inadequacies
and confusions
in what the Libyan Twitterers were reporting, how they were reporting it
WHO exactly they were
and what the
ACTUAL
agenda was...

June 25th, 2011
I went to Glastonbury 5 times
5 times I jumped the fence
1 time I released a crow in a cage
1 time I sold a load of drugs cut right down at inflated prices
1 time i neither drunk nor took a single drug
All 5 times I FUCKING LOVED IT!!!
But the minute the fence became
STASI
I lost interest...
Yes boss
On principle I don't pre book and pay in advance for BIG events I have no idea as to whether i can attend or not...
I like to go on a whim and try my luck
I'm not looking for
warm planned
satisfaction...
Glastonbury was a blast
but I don't think i could stand it now...
It's become London in the mud

June 9th, 2011
Yes boss
A mo ago on my @GENERALPG3 twitter account
I was thinking aloud about how Italy deals with ideas of government, tax etc...
Yes boss
Italians very much
DISLIKE
to pay tax
to the point that it's evasion
is a
National Pastime
Why...?
Well...
Rome has had
'civilization' and 'central government'
for a good long while now
2000 years +
And they know that if there's one
CERTAINTY
of centralised government
it's that by it's nature
it's on the
TAKE!!!
Like a cat can't stop chasing mice
Governments can't help themselves but
PHILANDER
and
LIE
and
CHEAT...
And so the reason Italians turn Tax Avoidance into a
National Pastime
/
art
is because their collective National Psyche has
well and truly
learnt that...
122
June 9th, 2011
The MAIN problem with Twitter
(one of the MAIN problems)
is that it encourages you to
PUBLISH
your thoughts as they come...
Instead of
to
SAVE
DWELL
PROSPER
and make them into something
better
and
more long lasting...

Journalism Pt 2
Hunter Thompson, Tom Wolfe, Robert Sabbag, George Orwell & P J O'Rourke didn't waste their time getting degrees in journalism...
They all had varying degrees of education - some studied English through college to a very high level...
But studying English is a
VERY
different thing to studying journalism
Most combined their original academic education with working out HOW to write good well informed journalism by going out into the field, working for small papers, trying other careers, adventuring, being involved with the Underground Press...
LIVING
and then WRITING!!!
LIVING
and then WRITING!!!
They learnt their perspective and angle and understanding of the world by taking part in it...
By taking risks - by going out into the field
alone
with an idea of what they wanted to follow
They picked their stories
Got fired
Had their own ideas as to what was important
Got fired again
Took their own danger...
George Orwell fought in The Spanish Civil War FOR FUCKS SAKE!!
He was there because he thought he believed in the cause - HE WANTED TO KILL FASCISTS!!!
He got shot in the neck - which helped kill him
And that's why he understood the ways of tyranny and war
That's where Animal Farm and 1984 came from
NOT from some shoddy school course
You learn NOTHING by sitting quietly in your seat and getting your homework in on time...
And so I look at todays crop of journalists/writers/reporters?
and it makes me weep...
Yes boss
There's a league of these folk - who've spent the majority or
ALL
of their working lives
'in'
the media - rather than out in the field understanding the reality of the world without that warm media shield to cosset them...
Maybe a gap year..?
Maybe a few years working in another 'professional' job - but nothing off the beaten track
No trouble...
Instead
they live sheltered inconsequential lives writing
ENDLESS
dull copy about
iphones, spotify, Jonathon Ross, computer games, TV Programmes
completely MEANINGLESS things...
Of course there's a place for nonsense
the loose
and the
TRITE
But these folk have
ZERO
ability to engage with proper issues alongside the TRITE
:
Banks looting all and everyone, 9/11, Geopolitics, African Politics, the 'stans to the South of Russia and the last gasp of oil they have...
This stuff is above them and their limited education and experience of the world, of politics, of life.
They're Timmy Bliar in his ROCKER HAIR!!!
Pretend collage light importants...
And that's me being polite...
Yes boss
The reality is these folk are very weak people with no kind of spine or consitution to be able to deal with the
HUGE HUNKS OF SHIT!!!
that would be THROWN at them if they talked about anything of ACTUAL importance and genuine
CONTROVERSY
They have no personal grasp of the complexities - they're comfortably dumb.
Alt.dumb
Not as stupid as Rhianna videos
but more stupid for thinking such things worthy of discussion...
Who in particular...?
Well Caitlin Moran is nearly ALWAYS a BIG dissssssapointment..
The last I saw of Caitlin Moran was her retwittering cuddly texts she sent by accident to WAR CRIMINAL Alice the Cunt Campbell. I guess Moran thinks Shitface Alistair is an alright egg - this is the limitation of her understanding of the current state of the world...
DUMB
Making the savage propoganda apologist for Timmy Bliar - a man who history will see on a par with someone like Mussolini (or worse) seem all quaint and human...?!!?
'edgey...? HIP????'
NO!!!
VERY FUCKING DUMB!!!
Writing drippy wet cleverly nothing about issues of no relevance to the state or direction of the world..
If there was a GREATER less challenging enforcer of the Status Quo
it's Francis Rossi
Jon Ronson and Louis Theroux are another pair with limited weight...
I like some of the ideas and peoples and themes with these 2
They do go out and try and experience their stories a little
But they don't seem to go out on their own...
FUCK THAT!!!
I've never seen them do anything without an entourage of cameras and helpers - they're not adventuring investigatives so much as tourists in a bus at a safari park...
'OOOO!!! LOOK AT THESE CHIMPS!!! They're chimps and they're scratching their balls. Chimps have ears. I like chimps - do you like chimps..???'
Jellyfish...
Jon Ronson in particular is a funny one...
Ronson regularly runs with POTENTIAL subject matter...
But his angle almost always lacks depth and strength.
As with Theroux - it's all a bit geeky
Men as emasculated fuzzy weak things on a schooltrip with their lunchboxes
Mr Muscle
Is that REALLY sensitivity..?
Mosquito sensitivity
Yes boss
If you're going to write things a bit gonzo - WHY NOT HAVE SOME FUCKING ENERGY AND STRENGTH AND CHARISMA?!!?!?
That's what made Hunter Thompson compelling beyond just his outrageous skills as a writer
CHARISMA!!!
A man with a CONSTITUTION!!!
an habbitual incurable dope fiend and minor league criminal
WITH A VERY SORE HEAD!!!
Hunter
LIVES
because he wasn't quite of this world...
And that's why he was a part of his stories
BECAUSE HE WAS LARGER THAN LIFE!!!
BECAUSE HE WAS WORTH HIS ROLE IN HIS BOOKS!!!
Does Jon Ronson being a part of his stories really work..?
Is Jon Ronson really interesting and inspirational enough to have a roll in his books...?
Yes boss
When Ronson goes looking at Military issues or 'Conspiracies' it's immediately
CLEAR
he doesn't really want to find anything out that isn't light, easy to deal with and entertaining - he wants to have a poke about and look as if he's
DIGGING REAL DEEP
But he doesn't want to know much beyond a point...
It's NOT serious
Yes Boss
NO BOSS!!!
Let's be vague and hang our washing a little funny...?
Yes boss
Ronson's the kind that if he stumbled upon a
SIGNIFICANT
piece of information about some world event
(he'd probably miss it, ignore it, or be talked out of writing about it by his publisher and/or agent...)
Yes boss
'The Men Who Stared At Goats' ended up looking a bit like an apology for US Special Ops as much as anything
'Hey! aren't these guys cookie?!?!?'
NO JON!!! THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL FUCKING KILLERS LOOKING FOR NEW WAYS TO KILL!!!
PUT YOUR alt.LUNCH DOWN!!!
THIS ISN'T PLAYTIME!!!
Another woeful phenonmena of todays 'FREE' press is all the 'comment' and 'blog' half celebrity half TV Presenters and Comedians who hang about enough artsy parties to bump into a Guradian Sub who thinks it be kinda groovey to have them drivvel their half cut opinions about things they don't understand in the
WEEKEND
supplements...
Yes boss
Charlton Brooker can co-write a FUCKING HILARIOUS comedy about Shoreditch twats - but he doesn't have the first fucking idea on world affairs. He's not qualified - his whole working life has been working within the media - he's never seen a war, or been held hostage, or been shot at, or been politically active, or been arrested, beaten spat upon and held without charge...
He's a lightweight with lazy half cut opinions...
I'd say David Mitchell is the canniest of this crowd - his pieces are nearly always worth reading and he has a good sense of mischief - but again it's just his opinion as learnt through the mess of media wires...
As it stands - it's opinion writing and you can take it as just that and enjoy it..
But people read this stuff and they form opinions on the world - when all it is the opinions of alt.celebrities with a very limited grasp of what in the fuck is going on in the world...
It's not that these writers have no skills or abilities - and this is perhaps what annoys me most with them...
They can all write, some of them can be fucking hilarious in aspects of their approach and the final presentation
But there's no
WEIGHT or AUTHORITY
They don't properly grapple with the BIG issues in a passionate and meaningful way...
THEY HAVE NO FUCKING PUNCH!!!
DUMB DUMB easy meal DUMB DUMB!!!
And this is the BIG problem we have now in journalism
We have a 'FREE' (AHAHAHAHAHHAHA) media that won't employ good, proper, confrontational, hardworking writers who are preparred to go in blind with and to further devlop their own ideas ...?!!?
Such people are HEAVY or HARD WORK or UNRELIABLE ON DEADLINES...?!?!
They aren't easily embeded
They don't take well to editing
or
ORDERS!!!
Instead the mainstream media is FULL of charlatans
cheap puupy filler...
Yummy banalities
Dumb lazy warm fliify fluff chitter chatter...
But don't worry
The proper good writers are out there...

June 6th, 2011
Paranoid
is a word people don't like...
I get the impression it's a word people attach to me
especially since I've been rattling on about issues like
9/11
For me there are 2 types of paranoia
There's IRRATIONAL RAVING MAD PSYCHOPATHIC paranoia
and there's being aware of who and what's around you
and most people can't tell the difference between the 2...
One of my hobbies is Birdwatching
These days I don't have the time or inclination to dress up in camouflage and skulk around with a telescope
My birdwatching is limited to what i see when I'm out and about
Well
Do you know the one thing that's a HUGE part of any small birds make up..?
PARANOIA...
Yes boss
If you have a bird feeder in your garden
watch the Blue Tits...
THEY NEVER STOP LOOKING OVER THEIR SHOULDER!!!
WHY???
Is it because they're all mentally ill...?
ARE ALL THE BLUE TITS STARK RAVING PSYCHOPATHIC BONKERS!!??
No
It's because they INSTINCTIVELY know there's ALWAYS a legitimate threat to their well being that they need to be keeping an eye on - a Sparrowhawk, a cat, other BIGGER more bullysome birds - as well of threats they can't begin to know...
Furthermore
They recognise that in coming close to what appears to be a 'protector' and supplier of 'free food' they are exposing themselves to a perhaps GREATER level of danger...?
'YOU NEVER GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING!!!' logic
And so they UP their observation a notch...
And so it goes for humans now
and
AT ALL TIMES...
But the problem today
is that most people do the opposite...
They have the idea that their CURRENT wealth and comfort mean they can turn
OFF
their awareness
rather than
TURN IT UP!!!
That threats are non existant or are being looked after by various trustworthy powers...
That their personal and financial safety and security is being attended to...
That their liberties and rights are in safe hands...
That they can go to sleep and take it all for granted...
But that's not any more the case now
than at any other time in human history...
In fact I'd suggest that right now
Is one of THE most treacherous insecure and dangerous times
on
EVERY
level
for a good long time...
So
I choose to be aware
at the risk of perhaps (though I don't see any major examples as of yet) sometimes getting things wrong and AGGRESSIVELY over egging the Sparrowhawk threat...
Yes boss
I am a Blue Tit
and
PROUD!!!

June 3rd, 2011
Journalism Pt 1...
Well I think my vitriol of yesterday was in very good part due to endless ASTONISHMENT at what passes for journalism today...
Yes boss
Let's be clear about this
The standard of journalism in the UK and in the US in particular is currently
ASTONISHINGLY FUCKING POOR...
Yes boss
In an era that claims and boasts of ULTIMATE press freedoms
the media is in a
pitttttttttt...
A pit full of sycophants
jellyfish
and
wet blankets...
For me the main problems are as follows:
Those who claim to be journalists are for the most part
obedient
subserviant
conformist
and lazy...
Yes boss
Your 'news' is mostly written by people who have been to university and got some meaningless piece of paper saying they
have
a degree in journalism
either that or
ANY
degree from Oxford or Cambridge.
These days this passes as a ticket to write...
IT'S BOLLOCKS...
But it's the rules...
Jumping through these hoops and getting such a degree doesn't however guarantee a job...
No boss
There aren't enough jobs for journalists compared with the number of graduates
and so those who have jobs as staff writers on papers are mostly too fanny scarred of loosing their flash incomes and expense accounts
Yes boss
NO BOSS!!!
3 BAGS FULL BOSS!!!
IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY!!!
This kind of a set up is very
VERY
wrong...
It's my opinion that writers should never be trained in colleges...
If they go to colleges at all
they shouldn't do well at them
and even if they do - they shouldn't rely on that
single
experience as being
THE KEY!!!
PG£ RULE NUMBER 1 OF JOURNALISM:
NEVER EVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE TRAINED!!!
no matter what the shusty...
Good writers are
NOT
dogs on leads...
Never have been
Never will be...

I know I'm labouring the point a little at the moment - but it's almost 10 years to the day
and most people
many of them normally
very
VERY
clever
people
still believe Osama bin Laden was solely behind
9/11
They believe that 3
HUGE
CONCRETE AND STEEL
skyscrapers were knocked down
(at freefall demolition speed)
by low temperature fires caused by the crashing of 2 jet planes
They believe the passports of 2 of the planes Hijackers
MAGICALLY
escaped the inferno and landed un-singed on the street below to be found amidst all that debris
later
THAT DAY
They believe a guy who couldn't fly a single engine Cesana airplane 3 weeks before 9/11
MAGICALLY
became able to perform
INCREDIBLE
manoeuvres in a Jetliner
( without
ANY HELP
from Air Traffic Control)
after over powering a 6"4" former US Marine with a Stanley knife
They believe another plane
MAGICALLY
disappeared into a 15 foot wide crater in a field in Pennsylvania
And they don't believe there to be
ANY
doubt this
ALL
happened
SOLELY
under the auspices of
SOME MUSLIM FUNDIE CUNT
in a cave called Osama bin Laden
Here's one example of a BELIEVER...
Last night by way of his Twitter account Charlie Brooker @charltonbrooker drew attention to his very own 'Conspiracy Theory'
that
9/11 Conspiracy Theorists are the kind of people who believe themselves to be
'The Emperor Of Pluto'
Now let's engage properly with what he says...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/jul/14/september11.usa
Firstly
What does this Charlie mean by the term
'Conspiracy Theory'
Well from this piece
he 'appears' to mean a
'Conspiracy Theory'
is ANY version of events that isn't the one universally agreed and spun by the mainstream media.
It's not clear if he means this for every political/historic event/assassination or just 9/11
For his sake
let's assume 9/11
Brooker then 'Conspires' the idea that 'Conspiracy Theorists' are ALWAYS the kind of people who have
DULL
lives and who so spend their 'dream time' making shit up about world events in order to be considered to be important...
This is
HIS
'Conspiracy Theory'
Well...
Before we look at the lives of some of those
WITH
questions about 9/11
Let's have a quick look at
BAD ASS Brooker
himself...
Charlie Brooker is a prick who's co-written 1 half decent sit com about the inbred puerile world of the media - Nathan Barley
The rest of his life appears to have been engaged in
playing and writing about video games
TV
Watching and making
GRUMPY DISMAL CYNICAL FUCKING TV
about TV
and TV
Comedy writing
TV
Twitering about TV...
TV
Writing a throwaway lightweight column
TV???
TV!!!
Yes boss
Brooker is so fucking addled with TV
HE'S GONE AND GOT MARRIED TO A BLUE PETER & X FACTOR PRESENTER?!?!?
OH HOW VICIOUSLY DARING, ADVENTUROUS AND EXCITING A LIFE THIS MAN LEADS!!!
34 HOURS A DAY INSIDE THE FUCKING GOGGLE BOX WATCHING AND COMMENTATING ON CRAP SHIT FUCKING TV!!!
Then his wife comes home and tells him about how hard her day has been working in
TV!!!!?!?
And so
Fom this banal limited experience of the world
Charlie apparently feels that he can pass judgement on people who don't live in the
REAL
WORLD...?!?!
Well...
From what I can see, there are many and varied people from backgrounds who doubt the myths of 9/11...
There are 100's of academics, pilots, military folk and engineers - many of whom are willing to stake their personal reputation for no personal gain to get closer to the truth of the events of the day...
http://patriotsquestion911.com/engineers.html
http://patriotsquestion911.com/
There are survivors who saw, heard and felt the events as they happened...
http://patriotsquestion911.com/survivors.html
http://firefightersfor911truth.org/
And then there are more than a few LARGER THAN LIFE characters whose
LIVES
and
CAREERS
dwarf Charlies...
Yes boss...
I'd like to see Charlie tell former Navy Seal, WWF Wrestler & Governor Of Minesota Jesse Ventura he's a 'fantasist' to his face. Take a look at his Wikipedia - Ventura has CLEARLY led a very uninteresting, limited and dull life - which is why he has questions about 9/11
Hunter S Thompson was a BORING WALTY MITTY MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OLD CUNT 'NALL!!! I'm sure his simple mundane life of staying in and doing the crossword fueled his doubts on 9/11
Same goes for David Lynch - MR CARDBOARD BOX FACTORY DELUDED EMPEROR OF PLUTO HIMSELF!!!
And as for Charlie Sheen?!?! MR WORKADAY BORING McBORING BORING NEVER HAD A GOOD TIME IN HIS LIFE BORING!!!
For that matter, I'd like to see Brooker tell me that to my face...?!?
My life has been many things - but it's NEVER been
FUCKING DULL!!!
but I have MANY questions about 9/11...!?!?!
Yes boss
The unfortunate fact of the matter for me on this 9/11 issue
is that if you take the time and effort to engage with the events of 9/11 from
ANY
angle on
ANY
kind of a regular basis the
ENDLESS OBVIOUS BULLSHIT!!!
contained within the
'Official Narrative'
becomes so obviously smelly you can't ignore the PONG!!!
So then you look at
WHO
had
the ability
the aim
the motive
WHO'S
benefited politically and financially from it
and there can be
NO
question as to who was really pulling the strings...?!?!?
And here for me is the rub with Brooker and his lazy 'Conspiracy Theory' about 'Conspiracy Theorists'.......
At no point in his 'clever' take down piece
does he engage with any of the KNOWN facts of 9/11...
He makes
ZERO
effort to add weight to the arguments that he believes makes the 'Official Version' correct.
Furthermore, he shows
NO
evidence of having ever done any of his own research and investigation into what happened that day at all???
Instead he sits on his couch watching 4 FUCKING TVs of puffing guff, lazily and sarcastically
DISMISSING
brave people who take
GREAT
risks to try and uncover the truth about a criminal bunch of psychopathic fucking Nazis...
But wait...
There is a single and only reason Brooker puts forward for 9/11 being as originally told...
'Paperwork...'
Yes boss
Brooker simply believes it to be impossible that such an event involving so many people could be organised by The US Government or some other bunch of
CUNTS
and could be thus far successfully kept quiet...?!?!
Well on the surface that seems to have substance as an idea - keeping secrets is always hard to do and the more people who know the harder it is to keep the secret...
But then you think of The Manhattan Project - the research into
AND BUILDING
of the first nuclear bombs undertaken by the US UK & Canada...
And the public didn't know a thing about it...!??1!
200,000 people
Including the worlds most PRE-EMINENT scientists and
TONNES
AND
TONNES
of Paperwork...
NO LEAKS!!!
THE PUBLIC KNEW NOTHING!!!
And what about the US Governments B2 Stealth Bomber?!?!?
How many people worked on that project over how many years..?
How much
PAPERWORK
was generated in it's creation???
And how many people outside of the circle of people working on it knew it was going on...?
NONE!!!
There were rumours with
MUCH LESS
substantiation than those surrounding 9/11
But no-one leaked it
Then one day
WOULD YOU KNIT AND WEAVE IT!?!?
THERE IT WAS FLYING MISSIONS OVER IRAQ!?!?!
Yes boss
When you have an
ENORMOUS
and well funded secret state apparatus as does the US
it's sadly very VERY possible to keep ENORMOUS criminal operations secret in the short term - it's been done many times before and will be done many times again...
For now the secrets are mostly safe - only a few people who were there on the day are speaking out...
The rest know that they're family and/or they will be killed if they talk...
But as with The Manhattan Project and the Stealth Bomber
as
MORE
and
MORE
documents become declassified and
MORE
and
MORE
of the people involved in 9/11 die and leave perhaps behind their memoirs
or
lose their fear
the REAL story will become clearer and clearer...
The video evidence that's already there for
ALL
to see will become more and better analysed and interpreted
More people will ask questions
The noose will
TIGHTEN...
And 9/11 will become as silly and easy to see
SHIT
as
the death of John F Kennedy
Then
we'll see which
Charlie
looks like the
THE EMPEROR OF PLUTO...

June 2nd, 2011
One thing I've been unsure about with regards to the ACTUAL events of 9/11 is
what caused the damage at The Penatgon
For a long time I've been sure it wasn't a Commercial Jet that caused the damage
The damage isn't in any way consistent with the damage caused by a jetliner that crash lands in the way alleged
Furthermore a crap amateur pilot who couldn't be trusted with a Cesana would be
INCAPABLE
of flying a jet liner in the manner and at the speed required to land the plane as it was reported to have landed...
No boss
If you do some basic research
It becomes BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that you can't fly a jetliner in that way and at that speed so close to the ground
AFTER
having pulled an
'incredible, sweeping 270-degree descending turn at 400+mph'...
No boss
Many EXPERIENCED COMMERCIAL JET PILOTS have said they would be personally unable to do the manouver - including a guy who had in his career, flown 2 of the ACTUAL planes allegedly involved in 9/11
So how in the hell could a guy who the '9/11 Conn-ission' state had NEVER flown a jetliner before...?!!?
My bet has been it was initially a missile that struck
and then there was a second blast probably a planted bomb - which caused the building to collapse...
The thing that I can't however get past with the missile theory - is how come there aren't ANY eye witness accounts that say it was a missile..?!?
Why didn't people see it...?
And from where was it fired..?
Well...
I still have no clear idea on that
There are MANY eye witness account - the majroity that still say they 'think' it was a Commercial Jet
Many of them are made by Pentagon associated people...
My best guess on the missile's origins is that it either came up from under the lawn
was fired from a nearby building
or came off of the bottom of a plane that looked a lot like a jetliner
With the third perhaps being the most likely...
In time we'll probably find out...
One thing that struck me today
was that the Pentagon incident happened an hour after the WTC was hit by 2 planes
Within an hour an ABSURD level of people WORLDWIDE never mind in The US were watching their TVs
jaws on the floor from SHOCK AND AWE...
Who in the hell was looking out of their windows for missiles or planes or Donald Duck to hit the Pentagon...?
Of course the US Government could VERY EASILY put such idle speculation to sleep by releasing much MUCH more of the CCTV footage they have of the impact of
whatever in the fuck it
WAS
that hit the Pentagon...
But they ain't NEVER going to do that
because that would be
GAME OVER...

Playful good quality anarchy can rarely be beaten...
And the L-13 Light industrial Workshop does it with such GREAT aplomb and regularity
it's the only properly interesting
Art Gallery?
I know...
Yes boss
Showcasing the work of amongst others
Billy Childish (Produce of MULTITUDIONOUS varried work. Commercial aide to Kurt Cobain, Beck & Tracey Emin to name 3)
James Cauty (KLF, K Foundation BURNING MONEY ambient house)
Jamie Reid (Sex Pistols Iconic Artwork and Druidrian)
Each and every show is a guarantee of good BLAST!!!
But the L-13 doesn't rely on reputations or BIG names...
No boss
For me the brightest stars
are the artists known as Harry Adams formerly known as STOT21stCPlanB
(More on Harry later - I did a 2 hour interview with it's protagonists a month or 2 ago whilst dreadfully hungover and babbling that I'm in the process of cutely cutting into blog sized segments...)
But before I get onto them and their work...
Last night was the launch of James Marshall Cauty's first show for a few years
Here's a sample...
FUCK FEES
APUTATION by the roadside
DEAD COP Carried High
HEADS UP - Fire Extinguisher Hits Its Target
PIGGY back
RED EXTINGUISHER on Policeman's Head
It's a GREAT SHOW!!!
Even the Daily Mall & Daily Torygraph quite politely covered it?!?!
And you can buy your bit of it HERE
Yes boss
when you go for a piss
and find 2 Police riot shields displaying public information and BEEP FLASHING STROBES
you can't feel short changed...
But what is so GREAT about the gallery isn't only the fine art and artists it supports and promotes
It's also the people who turn up to the shows...
Yes boss
Last night
There was James Cauty and his children
Other children
Regular faces
There was some peculiar German lady
who was very lurking
and quiet
and just plain strange
wearing headphones on an odd angle
who with no forewarning
HURLED!!!!!
her empty bottle of Kronenbourg into the road before quietly returning to her internal dialogue
pacing up and down
whilst I was trying to concentrate on a phone call about wine...
There was a few other almost UNBELIEVABLY strange folk
Liggers
And then there was some bloke i've seen pretty regularly on Fish Island for about 3 years but who have never talked too who told me that the SCUM landlords who run the art cabal of Fish Island pay to squat units HAVE FUCKED UP!!!
The Fire Department have been around and declared vast swathes of arty fish to be
EVICTED!!!
FUCK OFF ARTY SCUM!!!
THE OLYMPIAD IS COMING!!!
ABANDON YOUR SLUMMY CHEAP AS CHIPS SUBSTANDARD LIVING!!!
BREATHE THE CLEAN ART AIR OF KAPOOOOOOOOOOR!!!
Yes boss
Never ever a dull moment...

I'M GETTING WAY BEHIND ON THIS BLOG!!!
Yes boss
I had planned to knock off a whole bunch I've half done
+
a few more when I was on the ward on that Medical Trial that never properly happened...
But then my daughters gammy eye caught up with me
and so I got bounced off the trial on the first day because I had to have eye drops that would complicate the results!?!
£2000 up in gooey eye residue and eye drops!?!?!?
Before I'd even got over my caffeine withdrawal...
SHIT!!!
SO
NO BLOGS DONE!!!
AND NO FUCKING LIQUID CASH TO KEEP MY NEAFRIOUS OPERATIONS ON THE FRONT FOOT!!!
Oh well....
I need to call Hammersmith Medicines Research again and get booked on to a new trial or else I'm gonna go
PUFFFFF!!!
Before the summer sun comes back for good...
You know they might sound scarry but Medical Trials
or 'rehab'
as i more often think of them
are most often a very interesting and profitable way to spend time.
Yes boss
To take part in these
One has to detox from caffeine
alcohol
and whatever else naughty things one might be doing
You have to do this to pass screening
and then again for 24 hours before you go onto the ward and sometimes in the gaps between your spells on and off the ward...
But that's not a bad thing...
GIVE THE LIVER A CHANCE!!!
etc
Then you go on the ward and you're basically paid a pretty decent ammount of cash to
LIE THERE
for days on end ignoring the various lazy nut jobs that share the ward
watch the nurses
and your health stats
and get on with whatever other shit you need to be doing
on the interweb
between the covers
(BOOK COVERS!!!)
Once or twice I've struggled with swalloing a GARGUNTUAN number of big dry pills before 8am
or been forced onto a propoganda war footing because of uncanny and unpleasant REAL LIFE Nazi in the bed opposite who honestly believed the Fuhrer to be a decent chap
But mostly it's very easy money...
Yes boss
How many paid jobs don't potentially meddle with your long term health...?
Med Trials do at least let you run the risk without having to get out of bed...

ART PT 2
How did I get into Art School
knowing nothing about art
and having no ACTUAL interest in art..?
Well
The course I went on was best known for it's emphasis on Creative Writing
Yes boss
Up to 60% of your final work could be Creative Writing
And that was my
IN
At the time that course was one of the very few degree courses that had any element of Creative Writing
It was basically a forerunner and feeder course for the MA in Creative Writing at Norwich UAE
The game was....
If you got on well
kissed the correct teachers asses
wrote in a way and style in which they could deal
worked dilligently and professionally
you would get a good mark
and
if you so chose stand a
VERY GOOD chance of getting a place on the MA course run by Poet Laureat
If you got on that course and did all again as above
you'd then graduate with an almost CERTAIN promise of a
book deal with a major publisher...
(that you'd keep for a year or 2 before being dropped
to pursue a career as a teacher of Creative Writing)
Well
I never made it within a sailors moustache of that MA course
and neither did I have any interest in it...
I was unable to even do the lower league arselicking
and after finishing the first 3 year course
I had
ZERO
intention of either remaining in the UK or completing any further education...
I digress...
I say I got into Art School on the basis of my Creative Writing
But you know what..?
To get accepted onto the course - I didn't show them a
SINGLE
piece of my writing...
No boss
On the day of the interview
I had to get to Norwich from Oxford where I was studying Alternative Economics at Trade Union funded Ruskin College.
I got to the interview an hour or so late
And because I couldn't really be arsed to print anything out to show them
I went only armed with a print out of a list of titles of work that I was or had been engaged in...
It was a more or less COMPLETELY unintelligible document from my IBM 286 computer
That in no way constituted proof I was either the writer of the documents
or even if they were actual documents
let alone talented pieces of creative writing...
Yes boss
It was one of those situations I had
NO
real interest in
I didn't want to do a degree and I didn't want to move to Norwich
But I didn't have a whole BIG bunch of other options
And so
I made a half hearted attempt at making it happen
expecting to (and mostly hoping to)
fail...
But I was accepted onto the course
Yes boss
I remember
GUSHING
a load of enthusiastic shit in the interview
About how I WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL TALENT!!!
The interviewer
the Hungarian Poet and Translator George Szirtes seemed convinced (that was about the only time he was EVER convinced by me)
and BOB was apparently my uncle...
And this is often the story of my life
Yes boss
Getting anywhere and doing anything really isn't simply a case of getting there and doing it
It's most often a case of being
LUCKY
and being able to
SPIN
a good and well informed yarn...
In a sense
Norman Tebbit was right
Progressing in material ife is all about
GETTING ON YOUR BIKE!!!
But you don't necessarily have
to pedal
right
to succeed

Lance Armstrong is a PROPER BIG CUNT!!!
But he's also a man who's
RELENTLESS!!!
He will never quit...
Or admit guilt
Last year
by way of a business meeting
I interviewed Flavio Vanzella
Flavio was a professional cyclist for 10 years
He rode as a domestique for and against many of the very best cyclists of the 80's and 90s
Museuuw
Cipollini
Pantani
Indurain
He wore Yellow at the 1994 Tour de France
PROPER!!!
In between talking about his wines
I interviewed Vanzella about his cycling career
Flavio rode for and with Lance at Team Motorola
before Lance had cancer
before Lance became a
HOUSEHOLD NAME...
'So what is he like..?'
'He was even then completely determined...
If there was a
WALL
in between where he was and where he wanted to be - he would go through it...'

ART
PART 1
In my opinion
Art is mostly one DAMP FUCKING SQUIBBB!!!
Conceptual art in particular...
Yes boss
The first time I went to a Conceptual Art show would have been The Haywood Gallery for a show by Yves Klein sometime in the early 1990s.
I was dragged there by my girlfriend of the time - she thought it and he was good and so I went because I had to play the game...
But at that point I had
ZERO
interest in art.
My family weren't artists, in fact my family didn't even approve of the idea of art unless it was a good well crafted portrait or scene or if it glorrified God.
My mum had and still has a few such pictures that she bought off a homeless guy who came into the day center she worked in in the St Marys area of Southampton.
The guy, who's name illudes me, but that might be Vic, was a professional forger.
He was EXCELLENT at his craft - to the degree that the painting he did of a moth convinced me day in day out it was in fact a photograph for a number of years....
Vic wasn't however good enough to evade capture and was locked up on more than one ooccasion for his forgeries
(exactly WHAT he got caught for forging I don't know)
In between jail time he led a life of vagrancy...
Yes boss in the spring and summer Vic was a vagrant in Southampton and in winter he and a few others would move down to the South Of France and be vagrants down there
Southampton gets parky in the winter...
Anyway
I went to this Yves Klein show.
It was made up of lots of VIBRANT GLOWING deep blue monochrome paintings using Kleins patented International Klein Blue.
There were some fire paintings, there were some made by way of dragging naked women through paint and then onto the canvas and then there was the picture of him
LEAPING INTO THE VOID!!!
I liked the guys balls - but seeing his ouvre didn't much inspire me to think about art.
And so after then
I never went back to any kind of an Art Gallery until I was accepted into Norwich School of Art & Design in the late 90s.
No boss
I did once buy a book on Yves Klein in order to try and impress an arty girl with my
DEEP AND WIDE
knowledge of art
but in reality art held ABSOLUTELY no interest for me.
I didn't look at it
think about it
or engage with it at all...
But then I ended up at Art College
Yes boss
I applied to NSAD to do a Cultural Studies Degree in 1998 mostly because I couldn't face any more shitty washing up jobs.
What I needed at that point in my life was another 3 years of sitting on my ass smoking dope without having to get up at 6am and do someone elses washing up...
And so going to Art School to 'study' Creative Writing was an obvious choice
But shit...
I was going to ART SCHOOL knowing
NOTHING AT ALL (apart from Yves Kleins colour blue)
about art...

I've been in the occasional vicinity of Billy Childish this last 6 months...
He talks a lot
and most of what he talks is interesting
or just plain
sense
The thing I most remember is in this here video...
'Very ambitious - but not in a small way...'

May 22nd, 2011
This last 24 hours I have been labouring the point on my twitter...
But FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!!!!
How is it possible for The President of The USA to present an obviously and easy to prove
FAKE
Birth Certificate
as being his own
REAL
Birth Certificate
on the White Houses very own website
WITHOUT MAINSTREAM MEDIA CRITIQUE...?!?!
WHY IS THIS NOT A SHIT STORM??!?!?
WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN REMOVED AND THE PRESIDENT PLACED UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FRAUD?!?!?
WHY HAVE THE REPUBLICANS NOT USED IT TO INSTIGATE IMPEACHMENT?!?!
WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?
HAS THE MEDIA WORLD BECOME ONE OF COMPLETE AND TOTAL FANTASY?!?!?
I REPEAT...
WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!?
109
May 21st, 2011
Well boss
It looks like Lance Armstrongs bolt has been shot
at about the same time as the US's bolt
is
being shot
They'll both roll about and argue
and play cheap shitty games
for quite a long time yet...
But they're both finished in any meaningful sense.
And for me
the 2 are 1 and the same
ball game.
Yes boss
The tactics
style
and substance
are the same.
'WE'RE FREEDOM!!! WE'RE GOOD!!! WE'RE GOD!!!'
(don't even THINK about fucking with us...)
Why no questions...?
Because Lance and The US are bullies
simple
MEAN
easy to read
BULLIES
full stop
.
They give the appearance of being
'HEYYYYY!!! I'M NICE!!! I'm working for the GREATER good...LOOK AT MY CHARITY!!! JUST LOOK AT THE FREEDOM!!! AND DON'T FORGET THE SMILES ON THE CHILDRENS FACES!!!'
And yet they are in fact
VICIOUS NASTY SELF SERVING CUNTS...
They take a few hostages
'FREEDOM!!! ANTI-CANCER!!! CLEAN SPORT!!! DEMOCRACY!!! NAIVETY!!! TERROR!!!'
And trade on them...
'OHHHHH!!! OK THEN!!!!'
'I LOOOOOOVE YOU!!! USA!!! USA!!! MICKEY MOUSE!!! I BEAT DEATH!!! GOD SAVE THE USOFA!!! HOPE RIDES AGAIN!!!'
It's a bullshit...
And it's coming down
at a pace...
To be replaced by another
quite possibly worse version...
108
May 19th, 2011
HERE'S MY TAKE!!!
The US has
SHOT IT'S BOLT!!!
IT'S A DEAD EMPIRE WALKING!!!
It's so far in the hock to China it's cashing next weeks wages at
China is biding it's time...
It's not into wars with GAY abandon on irrelevant countries
As my business associate Lorenzo told me earlier today...
China isn't really into whine
IT'S INTO HARD LIQUOR!!!

May 16th, 2011
I'm reading the Official 9/11 Report
'The 9/11 Commission Report'
34 pages in
I find I'm mostly convinced by the data of how and when the planes came to be hijacked and flown into their targets...
Yes boss
I find it COMPLETELY plausible that 3 of the 4 planes could evade being shot down in the short ammount of time between Take Off and hitting their targets.
The 'Transponders' were turned off leaving Air Traffic Control guessing as to where they were headed?!?!
It's unreasonable to suggest that Air Traffic Control woke up that morning thinking
'I BET SOME BUNCH OF TOWEL HEADED RELIGIOUS NUTTER CUNTS ARE GONNA FLY PLANES INTO THE WTC & THE PENTAGON!!!'
NO!!!
They woke up thinking
'Here we go...another day at the office...'
Yes boss
Having worked in Britains NEWEST nuclear power station
WITHOUT an address
and WITH a Criminal Record for environmental protest
in a time of what was supposed to be
TOP SECURITY!!!
I know that what might seem to be a
FULL PROOF BEACON OF SAFETY!!!
NORAD NEADS etc
is more often likely to be an organisation run by lazy
regular
jobsworths who aren't naturally looking
OUTSIDE
of the box...
This said...
In these first 34 pages
there are 2 things that trouble me...
1: The VERY first line of the Preface
'WE PRESENT THE NARRATIVE of this report and recommendations that flow from it to the President of the United States, the United States Congress, and the American people for their consideration.'
The 'NARRATIVE'
?!?!?
in CAPITALS?!?
2: 'To our knowledge none of them had ever flown an actual airliner before'
PRETTY GOOD AMATEURS!!!

Today I had a very pleasant
(though little windy)
day in and around Fish Island
This morning it was at the Gainsboroug Childrens Center in Hackney Wick
pretending to be a
PERFECTLY NORMAL PARENT!!!
on the fun day...
I just about got by
even though a helicopter was continually circling and fake attacking the Olympic Village...
Towards the end of the morning
Dan from the
REMARKABLE ELECTRONICALVISUAL ACT
appeared with his daughter..
I was very pleased to see him...
And so we took our respective kids acrosss the park
to the (pretend) POSH Victoria Park Villaggge
Dan had fish and chips
and the kids
i SCREEAAMMMMMMED!!!!
beer in the park
and home
and tea
And so
I latterly wandered back to my own personal DUNGEON!!!
on the way picking up the post...
The post weren't much good...
Taliban Hamlets Council letter dated 5th May...
NOTICE OF LIABILITY ORDER
(Do not ignore this letter)
You must pay £703.33 in full within seven days or I will pass your account to our bailiffs.
BUT WE APPLIED FOR THE 5 YEAR AMNESTY ON BUSINESS RATES YOU FUCKING BUFFOONS?!?!?
NO WONGER FOR 5 YEARS BECAUSE OF THE OLYMPIC DREAM AND BUSINESS AND MONEY!!!???
I got into the dungeon and looked at my email...
URGENT : Overdue Web Hosting Payments
Turns out I owe $195 because I haven't paid my hosting since December 26th??!?
I'm not thorough on accounting
I thought paypal was looking after it..!??
Then there's the psyops wars with the laddylords
and
the outstanding bar bill
and the LATE Harmonicande V Ltd Years End Accounts
and the other £50,000
to a bunch of cunts in the banks...
But you know what...?
I HAVE NO PROPER FEAR!!!
The archive is sound
the work goes on....
I WILL PREVAIL!!!

Seeing as though this last week I've spent VAST portions of time analysing the
FATCHA BULLSHIT THEORIES
surrounding the alleged death of
PINKO MONSTER BIN LADEN...
I've decided that this evening
(rather than attending to my forever worsening financial plight - more on this in the next blog)
to run down a bunch of the most IFFY deaths/world events and give a de facto
%
BULLSHIT RATING on the accepted narrative!!!
along with a comment or 2 on each...
HERE WE GO!!!
JFK SHOT TO DEATH
Accepted Narrative - Oswald Mosely DUN IT!!!
BULLSHIT RATING : 98% : PULL THE OTHER ONE!!!
PRINCESS DIANA
Accepted Narrative - Car Accident, Ambulance owned and run by snails, CCTV on a PERFECTLY NORMAL!!! Bank Holiday
BULLSHIT RATING : 72% : No Royals at the Inquest?!?! Too many flukes and accidents of the state on one night and in the weeks after for no questions to be asked...
MICHAEL JACKSON
Accepted Narrative - The Drugs Worked All Too Well
BULLSHIT RATING : 58% : They might well have done so - but who was behind the needle..? (I have good inside info on this one - a good source very close to Jacko in the months before his death, a long term friend of a close associate of mine)
9/11
Accepted Narrative - DIRTY FUCKING A-RABS who weren't capable of flying small Cesanas MAGICALLY became able to fly JETLINERS like fighter pilots - but not so well they couldn't miss The Pentagon, 2 ENORMOUS Towers (which collapsed into their own footprint at demolition speed) or some hicks field in somewhere elseville...
BULLSHIT RATING : 82% : There's way too much to this one for it to be as told - far too many questions that don't fit the cod report. I don't yet know who or why - but I don't think bin Laden acted alone...
DOCTOR DAVID KELLY
Accepted Narrative - WALTER MITTY TOPPED HIMSELF BECAUSE HE FELT BAD ABOUT STICKING HIS HIGH HEEL UP THE ASS OF ALICE THE CUNT CAMEL AND TIMMY BLIAR!!!
BULLSHIT RATING : 94% : TOPPED in an attempt to save New Labours sins...
MADELINE MCCANN
Accepted Narrative - Disappeared without trace whilst warm and loving parents were eating Tapas
BULLSHIT RATING : 62% : Haven't read that much on it, but feel very wary everytime a 'killing' 'disappearance' feels like an ad campaign...
OSAMA BIN LADEN
Accepted Narrative - Killed on May 1st 2011 by a bunch of seals who don't understand the importance of torturing and parading the worlds most wanted man and instead decide he'd do better
BOBBING ABOUT
in the ocean?!?!?
BULLSHIT RATING : 100% : COMPLETE FLAWED POORLY CONSTRUCTED PR KAKA!!!

I'm LOVING prisonplanet.com at the moment....
In the past
I've been a little wary of the
NEEEEEEED
to find a
'THEY'RE OUT TO GET YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!'
angle...
But just now
when the mainstream media is a
BIG
'YES BOSS!!!!'
advert
for whatever comes out of BAMMY BALLS OBAMA's mouth
as he explains away a forever changing
cheap shitty publicity stunt...
I find their cynicism
searching
curiosity
to find some proper and more
REAL
answers
to be refreshing...

'The riders of LEOPARD TREK wish to communicate that they will leave the Giro d’Italia as of tonight, following the tragic accident of their teammate and friend Wouter Weylandt.'
At the risk of being TOTALLY out of line...
I'm going to have to say I'm disappointed in this decision.
I've certainly never met or known Wouter
I've never even really noticed him in races
but I was watching the Giro LIVE
and was shocked and stunned in a way I'm not often by the death of someone with whom I have no personal conection
Wouters death was tragic
upsetting
unbelievable
and brutal.
How it must now be for those closer
family
team mates
friends
soigneurs
I can't begin to imagine...
So
I'm not for one minute suggesting it's an easy time for his team
or it's riders
or that it would have been easy to have continued in the race
and taken it seriously...
But for me
going home to mull and be with family isn't the way to deal with something so mean
rough
and
tragic
No boss
In 1995 Fabio Casartelli died in very similar circumstances at the Tour de France
The next day the other riders in the team and the peloton staged a very similar tribute as did the team and peloton yesterday
But the Motorolla team rode on
and 3 days later a young pre-cancer Lance Armstrong won the stage into Limoges
Arms aloft
pointing to the sky in memory of Casartelli
Lance turned his
pain and RAGE!!! at death
into
VICTORY!!!
Now you can say what you like (i often do) about Lance's
character
his doping
his mis-use of cancer
and his charitable work to cover it.
But dope or no dope
Lance is a champion and a WINNER!!!
A man with relentless drive and determination
a
FIGHTER!!!
Some
Many
will say it's only appropriate and respectful
that Leopard Trek now go home
That in such times riding a stupid bike to win things no longer matters
That it's a sign of progress that men now go home
spend time with and grieve with their families
rather than toughing it out in their gang...
But for me it's soft
almost cowardly...
Yes boss
One of the things that's always attracted me to cycling was it's toughness
Riders as WARRIORS!!!
TOUGH MEN!!!
Who's job it is to BEAT THE CRAP out of one another
without weapons
When death strikes
as it always will from time to time
tributes should be made as they were yesterday
But the day after
those affected should get up
and turn their grief and anger into
VICTORY!!!
A BIG
'FUCK YOU!!!'
to death
Not give in
and go home...

What's in the news today..?
Noddy found in BDSM dungeon with Big Ears...?
Nelly The Elephant never ACTUALLY packed her trunk..?
Night Gardens 'Upsy Daisy' in affair with Cabinet Minister..?
The BIG news of my day thus far is this email from Ebay...
'You've chosen the safe way to shop - 4 Puffa Fish,'
Yes boss
I have decided it's finally time to shake up my
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN STALE!!!
IT'S TIME TO HIRE AND FIRE!!!
So
the first new face in is...
THE OFFICIAL SYCOPHANT TO PAUL GIOVANNI £RD
Yes boss
in these days of silent complicity I've realised I needed to add an
'Official Sycophant'
to the staff
'The Official Sycophant'
needs to be
a team player who's going to look
fat
smiley
and agree
WITH EVERYTHING I SAY!!!
NO QUESTIONS!!!
JUST COMPLICIT OBEDIENT NICEY SMILEY SILENCE!!!
So please extend a warm welcome to...
BOBBY!!!

Struggling to get my head around todays cycling death in the Giro...
I was watching the race LIVE online in Italian
It seemed to be something of an inconsequential stage
an opportunity for a breakaway perhaps?
or a last minute escape?
or a whittled down bunch sprint...?
The sun was shining
another middling stage in a race set to become unreasonable later on...
These kind of stages always have crashes and often quite a few
and so did this...
The usual crashes of not much consequence
and then
a
BUMP
kind of a feeling...
My attention was slightly distracted
The commentators voices changed
and there was a red flag
I had the idea a rider had crashed and then been run over by a following vehicle...?
something was very abrupt
The camera stops
the team vehicles come around and move on
there's a desperate
EMERGENCY
feel to things
the cameraman approachs close a lifeless body on the road...
Bike nowhere to be seen
heart monitor chest strap snapped
flat face
blood coming out of the nose
no sign of life
limp
He looks dead
The camera quickly pulled away
it looked to be very bad
lifeless
hopeless
I've since watched the footage back time and time again
part fascinated
part sunk horrified
morbid
IS THIS IT?
Weylandt, 26, leaves his girlfriend An Sophie, who is pregnant with the couple's first child

Today
I am sat on the balcony of my old flat
It's a touch breezy
and the cat has just done it's morning crap in a giant flowerpot instead of in it's litter tray
Micio Meowwwwww positioned himself so it looked from the angle I was at
as if he was merely sitting waiting for the sun...
He kept eye contact with me throughout and only when I saw his
eye wincing concentration
'I am having a crap...'
face
did I realise his game...
He of course knew FULL WELL he was doing wrong...
He'd just watched me clean out his 'fresh 2 days ago litter
having done a dummy 'false flag' run
that suggested he'd already done his mornings business...
And so
the minute he finished in the flowerpot
he RAN inside...
And I chased him around the flat
eventually cornering him...
Cat disciplined
I sat again on the balcony and watched a small orange digger
knock down a nice brick wall.
The wall is toppled
And now a bigger yellow digger with a Captain Hook hand is filling the open frontage with large pre-formed concrete blocks
Enough already
The cat has flies to kill
and I'm going to fix the cupboard...

Since I've been aware of the concept of Mental Illness
I've often looked at which ones I might suffer from...
And so
in my time
I reckon I can lay a claim on almost all of them...
Well, today I feel sure I can add a new one to the list...!!!
YES BOSS!!!
I AM CLEARLY A SOCIOPATH!!!
Profile of the Sociopath
(Some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths)
* Glibness and Superficial Charm
* Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
* Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
* Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
* Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
* Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
* Incapacity for Love
* Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
* Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
* Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
* Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
* Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
* Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
* Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
* Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
Other Related Qualities:
1. Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
2. Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
3. Authoritarian
4. Secretive
5. Paranoid
6. Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
7. Conventional appearance
8. Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
9. Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life
10. Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
11. Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
12. Incapable of real human attachment to another
13. Unable to feel remorse or guilt
14. Extreme narcissism and grandiose
15. May state readily that their goal is to rule the world
(The above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare.)
WOOF!!! WOOF!!! WOOF!!!

Click the picture for the Prison Planet archive thus far from Steve Pieczenik...
Very certainly worth a listen...

May 6th, 2011
The below 2 radio interviews are the kind of thing I like to see and hear and engage with when a world event occurs....
In this case
when there are so MANY absurdities to the real and actual account
of the alleged no corpse death of
Osama bin Laden
YOU HAVE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!
This isn't to say I necessarily vouch for the individuals or what they're saying.
Like you
I don't know them from Eve
They could just as easily be CIA people as anyone else
They could be helping to spread confusion and doubt.
Their agenda could be to return the Republicans to power by discrediting and derailing Obama...
But it is to say that the natural and most sensible thing for an intelligent person to do when a bunch of
YAHOOOOOOOOS!!!
can't get a story straight is to
question and examine it
To look at all possible angles
before you start waving flags and chanting
USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
With Steve Pieczenik
The subtext of what he's saying with this idea of a
2nd American Revolution
seems almost to be that he advocates US Military Rule...
That Civilian Governments can't be trusted
aren't very bright
and are ultimately untrustworthy...
Furthermore
He suggests that the military are just following orders
And that they'd almost be better at defining policy by their nature..!!??
Paul Craig Roberts
Asks a lot of good questions and he seems to do so in a true spirit of curiosity that's all too irregular with the mainstream media...
I like his inquisitive mind...
But perhaps one of the things I find most perplexing about these tapes is the host Alex Jones...!?!
Is it not a wierd thing that from being
INCREDIBLY SUPER SHOUTY AGGRESSIVE SUPREMELY FUCKING HOSTILE!!!
to anyone who disagrees with him...
He so easily and quickly becomes an
all agreeing
aggrandising
all agreeing
sycophantic
aggrandising
puppy
the minute a BIG name from the government/media starts agreeing with him..?
Don't get me wrong
I like the
SHOUTY MOTHERFUCKER!!!
But you can't start tying bells on media outlets
or administration figures
every time they agree with you
you can't
SUDDENLY
loose your teeth like that
roll over and be scratched...
We are told Steve Pieczenik is a GRAND MASTER OF PSYOPS?!?!
And so in these interviews I am wondering who is being psyoped...
In these and other interviews he talks of how he dislikes characters who are narcissistic and who self aggrandize...
He gives this scoop to
Alex Jones on
The Alex Jones Show
Pieczenik then boasts about his involvement in 8 wars
Noriega
8 wars
Grenada
But now that he's saying what Jones wants to hear
Alex Jones offers
NO CRITIQUE
just rolls on his back
belly up...
For me Pieczenik does a pretty good number on Jones in exposing his critical limitations and his narcissism...
All this said
I find the views in these interviews
and the views of Jones
to be far more likely to be close to the mark on this Bin Laden thing than any of the
HORSECRAP
that's dripping out of anywhere else...

Here's some thoughts on the Royal Wedding...
EXPERTS AND DESIGNERS!!!
AND EVEN YOU FUCKING PLEBS
RING THE BELLS!!!
The Royal Family have fallen some distance in recent years and this big SWANNY has done something to ebb that trend...
But to gain that ground
they've had to allow a few celebs and a few known gays into the Abbey...
THEY EVEN HAD TO ADMIT A COMMONER
TO THEIR COOL
BOSOM...?
A commoner..?
Nahh...
I don't see Katy has anything much to do with the common man.
She has her Middleton name
and so she is very middle of the town
Yes boss
Katy is a symbol of the COMPLETE DOMINANCE of the Middle Class
The Middle Order who mostly run things these days...
have now get a boring old elbow into
The Palace
Now the Aristos are something of a comedic side show
kept on for the simple reason they're dug in
and can't be easily blown out...
My guess is 1 of 2 things will happen to Katy now
She'll disappear up her own ass and become another distant puppet momento of our theatrical past...?
Or
She'll begin sweeping out the cobwebs
and bring 'The Germans' in from their blissful ignorance of the world
They'll become
modern
and perhaps even relevant...
Some of the POMP will go...
HERRR HUNDDSSSS
will become more acceptable
more normal
and subtle
dulllllllll
and
middle of the
road...

I understand less and less about this Libyan situation as time goes on...
Gadaffi has survived most losses and his tanks are hiding..?
The alt.libyan army have only ever had a few thousand makeshift soldiers!?!?
2/3rds of Gadaffis army is defeated..!??!
A NO FLY ZONE
=
BASIC FUCKING WAR?!?!
We want the end of civilian casualties...
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA KILL THE BIG GUY!??!!?
And get this...?
The Alt.Libyan Government are complaining that Nato/UN isn't doing their job properly..?!??
That takes some BALLS!!!!
If Nato/The UN had done nothing the Alt.Libyan govt wouldn't even be
talking
now...
And if they leave...???
It'll be business as usual for the cunty colonel and his half bastard sons...
This is a
BONKERS

and a
CRAZY

then
KICKED HIM IN THE HEAD!!!

By way of the wine I saw a talk last night...
It was Grayson Perry chatting with a Psychoanalyst
(and then later i saw Carlos from Columbia
on how he came from Columbia
to Spain
as an illegal to England
to now working for Islington Council...)
In brief my thoughts on Grayson Perry are...
WONDERFUL LAUGH!!!
Very dirty
THICK AND SPONTANEOUS!!!
And..?
Mr Perry is clearly very into myth making
and the creation of idols and shrines.
He's aiming to turn his childhood teddy
Alan Measels
into a GOD!!!
I like this kind of behaviour
Grayson Perry is ALL about creating his own world
with it's own mythology
and
heroes
He doesn't subscribe to regulation myths and current gods
or
considered and sensible ways to behave in public
It's all good stufff...
Quotes of the night:
Question from the audience: 'Do you believe in God..?'
Grayson Perry: 'No'
'I was cycling the other day - in a dress, it was on a Boris Bike I think, and a woman drew up alongside in a car and said 'I like your tapestry''
'Kinky sex is just sugar coated trauma'
(or something similar I wasn't recording it...)

Oddbins has gone into administration...
The most interesting thing about this is
WHO
it was that forced administration...
HMRC
The Taxman
I find this to be ASTONISHING!!!
Yes boss
For each bottle of wine Oddbins has sold throughout it's 40
odd
years in business
the Taxman will have taken somewhere in the region of £2 (in todays money)...
That's just excise
wine tax...
NOT including the NI & Tax paid by them and their employees
NOT including Corporation Tax
NOT even including VAT
Yes boss
Dealers in alcohol pay
MINBOGGLING ammounts of tax
In fact my guess would be that for every £1 Oddbins has turned over
60-70p will have gone to the taxman
one way or another...
There's no pleasing some people...

I was doing just such a wine art event this last Monday...
It was for a small private dealership called Orion Contemporary who found us at last years Fine Wine Fair in Chelski Town Hall...
The show in question was located in a small Private Gallery called Fiumano Fine Art on Connaught Street just off Edgware Road W2
The show is a combination of the artists being promoted by the dealership + some Damian Hirst, Chris Ofili & Andy Warhol prints...
Well...
The Friday before this show started I delivered some of the wine in a large suitcase by way of bus Numbers 8, 73 & 6
Walking the last 50 meters dragging the 'FASHION' suitcase on it's one remaining wheel
(it had 3 when I left Fish Island)
I passed a couple of coppers with
MACHINE GUNS!!!
Yes boss
they were hanging about on a street corner looking for trouble
as would disaffected youths...
I stopped beside them with the suitcase and had a look at why they might be there...?
There was nothing obvious other than some very LARGE houses...
I imagined one of them probably belonged to Colonel Gaddafis
DEFECTED
half brother...
I replied
'Good Afternoon'
to their
'Good Afternoon'
and continued on my way...
On Monday
I was heading back to the gallery with the rest of the wine
and the ice for the opening...
With my suitcase no longer functioning
and with my Ikea sack truck at another gallery
I resorted to a black cab for the last couple of miles...
Unable to remember the name of the road I was going to
I was directing the taxi driver...
After some misunderstandings I was finally able to say
'AHHHH yes this is it, around this square and then left at the top...'
'Tony Blair lives here'
The Taxi driver said as we passed Number 29 Connaught Square
and then the
MACHINE GUN COPPERS
still loitering on the corner...
We turned left...
'He has 2 guarding the front and there's another 2 in this mews guarding the back...' the driver said pointing down a small mews street called Archery Close...
Wine delivered
I had a coupla hours to kill before the show was to start
and so I set about having a look around Bliars hood...
Here follows 2 strange things I noticed...
1
Edgware Road and the immediate environs of Bliars house is about as Arabic and Middle Eastern an area as exists in London...
WHAT?!?!
TONY BLIAR MOVING INTO A MIDDLE EASTERN HEARTLAND AND SETTING UP HIS OWN PERSONAL FEIFDOM GUARDED BY MACHINE GUNS?!?!?
TELL ME IT ISN'T TRUE!!!
HOW VERY OUT OF CHARACTER!!!
2
There's an Iraqi restaurant not 50 yards away from Bliars front door...
NO SHIT!!!
Do you reckon he throws a few bombs at it from his back balcony every now and then, to add authenticity...?
'AIRSTRIKE ON LE CHEF MASGOUF PLEASE!!!'
Perhaps he visits the ruins to eat..?
'Ah yes, in REAL terms, I'll have the fried Kurds liver and a WHIZZZZZZZZZZZBANG!!! sandwich please...?'
Truth is always stranger than fiction...

After a year of learning the business and navigating an almost absurd number of
natural
man
and
woman
made disasters
our wine business Harmonicande Vintners Ltd is finally finding it's groove...
Yes boss
Gone is the ecommerce website - hacked to bits by computer naughties...
Gone is the regular large volume though loss making still wine trade to The Soho Theatre Bar...
Gone is most of the start up money...
And
Gone is the mouse in the toaster in the offic - NO HE'S STILL HERE!!!
And the groove...?
Winotic Mice...?
Simply drinking it...?
No boss...
Art shows.
Yes boss
Art and Wine are about as synonomus as
Cheese and Wine
and so without even making much effort
we've found ourselves particularly well suited to supplying wine to artists and art galleries
It's an easy gig...
Prior to the start of a new art show there's a Private View
The aim of a PV is to give potential buyers a chance to look at and buy the art before the
OI POLLOI
are allowed in to say
'LOOKS LIKE A LOAD OF OLD CRAP TO ME!!!'
Drinks are most normally bought by the gallery and/or sponsorred and then served for FREE to the punters...
And so
We sell the wine to the gallery
I then turn up with it
in a taxi
and hang around the Private Views
looking at the fine art
the fine women
serving
drinking
and working it all out...
It's working very well...

I don't buy this NO CUTS/NO LESS MONEY/ NO MORE NOTHING MUCH WE DON'T LIKE!!! March
that happened today in London...
Here's why...
The one thing to be learnt from the last 2 months in the Middle East is that you get
ZERO FUCKING CHANGE!!!
unless you're preparred to sacrifice both everything you have
and
everything you don't have...
Yes boss
Egypt won it's war with
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
because THOUSANDS of people were preparred to sacrifice their
LIVES
what little wealth they
HAD
thier
FREEDOM
their
SANITY
and thier
HOPE and STRENTGH
for the future
if they failed...
Similarly the Libyan people
will WIN their war with
TENT MAD MOOOOO KAAA KAAA MAN
because they have lost their
FEAR!!!
They are preparred to DIE
to the last man
woman
and
child
to engender
CHANGE!!!
(and they have AIR BIG BOMBING support)
And this current movement in the UK...?
To be positive...
It's VERY good to see people KICKING UP
a little...
But it is
a little...
Yes boss
The problem with the UK is it's way
WAY
WAY
tooooo comfrotable to really understand the idea of
SACRIFICE
and SUFFERING
as is understood by countries who think a bag of rice for a month is
a
JOY!!!
And so for me this current movement makes no sense....
The goals are random
lightweight
and very
conflicting and confused...
NO CUTS!!!

I don't understand why the MAIN aim of this Libyan intervention isn't to kill Gadaffi and his sons..?!?!?
No boss
I'm a pacifist by nature...
Very rarely can I see any reason to punch someone
let alone kill them...
But Gadaffi is CLEARLY a HEAVILY ARMED RAVING FUCKING LUNATIC!!!
(there are lots of them)
Who will continue KILLING and TORTURING until he stops breathing...
If he can't fly planes
He'll fly helicopters
If he can't fly helicopters
Tanks
NO TANKS?!!?
Jeeps..?
NO JEEPS??!?
Snipers...
No guns..?
Kitchen knives...
HE'LL NEVER QUIT!!!
I guess the plan is to wear his forces down so they mutiny...
But sometimes I think...
SIMPLE'S BEST...

I am sitting here on Fish Island pondering my lame excuses....
IT'S THE SUPER MOON and it's the 15th running of Gimpos M25
25 Hour Spin....
For reasons i do and don't understand
I have WUSSED OUT!!!
on taking part this year
Gimpos 25 hour M25 Spin
IS
EXACTLY what it says it is
It's driving around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
and around
Londons Orbital
for 25 hours
A pointless waste of time..?
and
money..?
and petrol..?
and everything..?
that is good and right about
pruposeful activity...?
It's not
AND IS
No boss
I believe Gimpos M25 Spin is one of
THE
most important CREATIVE works I know of
have had any association with
have any regard for...
Yes boss
Conceptual art is nearly always
DULL
CALCULATED
SAFE
and
lacking in any kind of serious risk...
It's mostly some tired lazy DISILLUSIONED
fucker
who'd rather not work
putting something together that will stump all
but those
with
GOOD COMMON SENSE!!!
It's a charade of low risk
BULLSHIT
that has no soul or
SPIRE
or warmth...
It's an excuse to live off mummy
and
pretend
importance...
Well....
Gimpos M25 Spin
is something altogether different...
Yes boss
This 'work?'
creates a temporary autonomous zone where no NORMAL rules of good safety and common sense prevail
it's drink and drugged up
AT
60MPH
straight
for
25
hours
on THE busiest
most hated
and
MOST
pointless
of roads in the
UKKKKKK
FOR THE PURE FUCKING HELL OF IT!!!
Perhaps
it's about challenging the whole notion of
a journey
the point
the destination
the time
and the place
Or maybe it's
JUST FUN!!!
Whichever
or
WHATEVER
It put's it's mind
IT'S WALLET
AND
IT'S SANITY
on the line for you
YEAR ON
YEAR IN...
IT'S PROPER!!!
PAY ATTENTION!!!

Why is it that Americans ALL TOO OFTEN feel they have to make mostly trite and meaningless observations on everything..?
Yes boss
My daughter has a quite awful DC of some American kids singing nursery rhymes that my sister gave her...
And at the end of EVERY Nursery Rhyme
one of the kids has to chime in with some meaningless soundbite opinion about what has happenned in the Nursery Rhyme....
So for Incey Wincey Spider...
The song is finished - and then one of the kids intones...
'The spiders up the pipe again...'
YES WE KNOW THAT!!!
WE'VE JUST SUNG THE SONG!!!
THE SPIDER GOES UP AND DOWN THE PIPE DEPENDING ON THE RAIN AND/OR SUN!!!
WHY IS THERE ANY NEED FOR A SUMMARY?!?!?
Jesus...

Biography is a genre that fascinates and dominates my reading...
I guess the appeal is in learning about humanity.
Yes boss
If the story is written well or covers a good life it's a good read.
The book can be about an unknown banker or a woman who has willingly lived in a shed for 30 years...
Fame and notoriety is irrelevant.
Indeed many famous people are very VERY boring.
It all comes down to the strength of the character and the way the story is told.
Well
This book 'Saving Amy' is a biography of sorts of Amy Winehouse.
I say of sorts...
Because it is in effect more of an observation of The House Of Winehouse narrated and told by a woman who appears to see herself as some kind of a HEAVY widescreen Oprah
who of course finds herself to be really quite central to the story.
I have several observations on this biography...
They are as follows...
1: The House Of Winehouse is one messy, wierd, complicated, ill communicated house...
2: The relationship between dad Mitch Winehouse & Amy is one that I don't think is yet fully known
3: The writer appears to only have spent a few days in the prescence of Amy
4: The writer apparently doesn't feel Blake Fielder Civil or any of his family are important enough to the story to be worthy of an interview
4: Amy is truly and wonderfully BATSHIT CRAZY!!!
5: The writer is some kind of a machine who never tires of her ability to be important
6: All told it's a proper good read that isn't scared...
Here's a taster from a very entertaining and FULL ON episode in the early hours in St Lucia....
Amy is going bonkers because she wants to take 2 Herve Leger dresses from the author when the author is only offering her 1...
'I have had enough. It is not acceptable. I tell her,
'Amy does it ever occur to you that maybe the people who claim are friends of your parents or who are talking to your parents are actually interested in [them] and not only you. You are not the most interesting person in the world. In fact you are becoming very boring. I don't want to hear all this.'
Amy is shocked. No one talks to her like this. She cries: 'What do you mean?! [Do] you know how famous I am?'
I say 'Amy,...I am more known in some countries than you...'
Even drunk and naked, Amy is funny. She looks at me and says, 'Let's wrestle [to see] who is more famous!'
I've got a bunch of copies of this...

66 L-13 Light Industrial Workshop and Private Ladies and Gentlemen's Club for Art, Leisure and the Disruptive Betterment of Culture
March 16th, 2011
Had a wonderful though slightly wierd evening on Tuesday 8th at the L-13 Gallery at the Private View of Harry Adams new show
A Short History of Our Progress Part II
In brief:
By way of our company Harmonicande (PHEONIX) Vintners Ltd
I attended not only as fan of the work of Harry Adams
but as a DRINKS PROFESSIONAL
supplier of the booze
water
and ice...
Yes boss
I hoik the drinks there
loiter around the drinks
sometimes serve them
DRINK them
and when I'm busy chatting
invite people to serve themselves...
Yes boss, The L-13 Gallery Light Industrial Workshop and Private Ladies and Gentlemen's Club for Art, Leisure and the Disruptive Betterment of Culture is consistently the very best gallery I've ever seen....
ALWAYS proper good art
ALWAYS proper interesting real people
ALWAYS WARM!!!
ALWAYS worth it...
Well....
Last Tuesday the Harry Adams show was not only memorable for the fine art and our fine wines
it was also good for it's strange interpersonal interactions...
Yes boss
I spent most of the evening chatting with long time friend and associate of the PGC Sara Ruth
who runs the organisation
Having relocated the Pussy Power Base Camp away from Fish Island
It wasn't be far off a year since I last saw Sara and so there was much to be caught up on...
So
We set about catching up...
But shortly after Sara arrived
arrived Tony Castle
Tony Castle is the arch nemisis of Sara
Yes boss
Tony once had custody of a LARGE unit here on Fish Island
It was called the Decimal Place Gallery and it was a place for parties and art shows...
To pay it's way Tony sublet some of the units to artists
they paid him RENT
and he was in turn supposed to pay the scummy landlords who are incapable of attending to basic human requirements like LIGHTS in the toilets the RENT on the whole shebbang...
Well...
To cut a longer short story
Castle Conkers didn't pass on the rent he took off the struggling artists and only by a FREAK occurrence did Sara find this out in enough time to not get too badly ripped off...
and so she moved out and got her own studio
just across the road
Well...
Seeing Sara loitering chatting at the bar put off Castle Conkers from getting a beer for almost half an hour
He seemed averse to coming close??!?
'UNPRECEDENTED!!!'
said Sara
Well to cut a longer repeatedly short
As time went on Castle
his HYPE man
and a rather random fellow who's name i forget
became more and more
BOLD!!!
They moved closer and closer
in a subtle easy war like way...
But there were no fireworks...
No boss
Sara left around the time the show was supposed to close
and so would most normally the whole remaining art network gang...
But the 3 amigos and Harry Adams and me in my role as barman
remained in the gallery because there was 'FREE' beer...
Well once Sara was gone
Tony Castle and his boys repeatedly tried latching onto me and finding who I was...
I felt they were best ignored and or tackled
and so I did a mixture of both
Yes boss
I asked Chateaux 3 times if he knew Sara and
He denied it COMPLETELY!!!
'But she used to rent a unit off of you...? She was RIGHT here until 20 minutes ago'
'Never heard of her...'
It was all very Christian
At around this judas point
Mark Manning the former lead singer of Zodiac Mindwarp, writer, painter of Rupert to name a few
arrived
dressed in a warm suit
a NRA baseball cap
and a wonderful yellow scarf...
The atmosphere remained odd but interesting.
I was playing dumb and being the barman
The 3 amigos were trying their very best to be VERY clever and intelligent
Harry Adams was being very professional and warm welcoming
And Mark Manning was fielding questions about who was his favourite Dictator and what REALLY happened at the end of The Wild Highway...?!?!
After a while
it became clear that no-one was much enjoying the 3 amigos
they were overstaying their welcome
talking shit
and
loading their pockets with beer
whilst pretence
DANCED!!!
Boredom rising...
One of them asked me if I was the bouncer?
Yes boss
I was dressed in a rather wonderful RED AND BLACK PLASTIC ZIPPPP WHEELS SHINY JACKET that made me look far BIGGER than I am...
and you know what..?
I thought
YES I AM THE FUCKING BOUNCER!!!
And so
I THREW THE FUCKERS OUT!!!
As I did so
Tony Castle
once again asked me who I was...?
I got up close and shouty whispered
'FISH ISLAND!!!'

March 16th, 2011
This'll be about my 4th go at number 65...
but I keep getting stuckkkkkk
So to get it out the way I'll complete the Fatchabook story...
I reactivated my account after a few days of feeling
perhaps
I should sometime better control my impulsive instincts
For a few more days
I tried VERY FUCKING HARD
to play the game
and
separate
the fact that Fatchabook gave me a line of comunication to people I was otherwise out of touch with
from the fact
THAT I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT'S ETHICS
AIMS
LAYOUT
and
RULES...
But in the end I found I couldn't work with it...
No boss
after finding I have to 'request' to change my name
I deleted it for good...
My final thoughts are this...
I OWE FATCHABOOK NOTHING!!!
If I want to change my name 5 FUCKING TIMES A NIGHT I'LL DO IT!!!
I am not waiting DAYS for your approval...
You have NO naming or any other rights over me...
FUCK OFF!!!
64
March 7th, 2011
DEACTIAVTED
So and so and so and so
will miss you
NO THEY FUCKING WON'T!!!!
THEY'LL BE PLEASED FOR THE PEACE AND QUIET!!!
They make you go through a few rituals to leave
but it's just paperwork...
HAPPY TO BE GONE!!!
63
March 7th, 2011
So...
I've finally engaged with Facebook for RESEARCH and a few days I've discovered
I HATE IT EVEN MORE
than i thought possible...
Yes boss
It's petty, small minded, straight, authoritarian and bland...
It's like a dull office...
A horrible smallish 10 story office block in Slough with a logo a child would have had the good sense NOT to create...
It has no vivacity
NO FIRE!!!
NO PASSION!!!
NO COLOUR?!?!
It's terms are ordinary and uninspiring...
And it SHITS on creativity
Yes boss, it treats the user like a school kid who must only ever be the good christian child society wants them to be
'Use your real name boy
You can't be
PAUL PIOUS JAMES DEMAN GIOVANNI £RD
That's not your real name.
I don't
Like
it
You can't be from Fish Island
Fish Island sounds silly
It's not in my book of places and if it's not in my book of places you can't possibly be from it.
You are Paul Piousjamesdeman Giovanni
I name you
I run things'
IT'S LINGUISTICALY FASCIST!!!
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!
There are of course some GREAT people on Facebook - as there are GREAT people in every office block in Slough...
But the site itself is run and governed by dull normal blandness...
A horrendous monoculture of sameitude...
Why any GREAT person has any time for it is beyond me...
Yes boss
You can say what you like about myspace
But for whatever it sins were
it was TEN times more open and free and welcoming and encouraging of creativity than is cuntbook...
YOU could design your own page
YOU could call yourself whoever in the fuck you liked...
YOU could daydream
YOU could invent
YOU could be PAUL PIOUS JAMES DEMAN GIOVANNI £RD from FISH FUCKING ISLAND
and people would LOVE IT!!!
And you know the best thing with myspace?!?!
You could actually use it to MEET new people...?!?!
Yes boss, I met many good people both virtually and in the flesh by way of Myspace...
People from all over the world and people from my own neigbourhood of Fish Island
I've worked and created with them
People who HAVE expanded my mind and made me aware for new things and new angles on life...
People who have OPENED doors...
But not on Facebook...
No boss
If you try to ask people to be your friend on Facebook who perhaps look interesting to you - you get some shitty dull middle management dressing down...
'Number 2,000,902,090 You have transgressed rule number 402 sub section d paragraph 4 that states you can only be friends with people you know from school. You are banned for 2 days.
Do you understand this?'
FUCK OFF YOU PATRONISING PIECE OF SHIT!!!
Yes boss
In just 4 days I've been banned from sending requests to people NOT because I was blanket asking strangers, or used some nasty fucking bot to skim them off it's bland samey surface - but because I was responding to suggestions made by friends
'Number 2,000,902,090 you have trasngressed the rules
2 Days ban'
FUCK OFF!!! YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER!!!
And here's the REAL rub...
This kind of shitty
'Stay in talk to your schoolfriends'
mentality instills in people the idea they'd
better
play safe...
'You can't have more than 5 words in your name.
That's not normal
You can't dream to be something unusual
We don't allow that.'
You're encouraged to 'Like' things
You know what..?
I DON'T
Like
THINGS
I FUCKING LOVE OR HATE THEM!!!
WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT A SILLY SHIT EATING WORD
Like
Like
Like
KISS MY ASS!!!
FATCHABOOK IS A STRAIGHT DULL FUCKING SLUM...
I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!!!
And just as soon as my research is done
I'LL BE GONE!!!

I've decided to change the rules of this blog in order to improve the content further and make it a touch more dynamic...
Yes boss
The new rules are as follows:
There will still be 365 posts done within a year
But the demand that there be one post per day EVERYDAY is to be scrapped.
The reasons for this are as follows...
Doing a blog a day was insituted in order to engage my ass in a regular day on day discipline of writing, so I could work myself into some shape and fitness so as to tackle this book I'm now working on.
This has been a success up to now.
I have got right back in the habbit of writing and I'm starting to feel some match fitness...
However I now need to be ACTUALLY writing this book
and I am now so doing.
But if I'm doing this, I can't also be writing a good blog every day.
No boss...
There is little time in the day to write after I've taken care of all other work and personal responsabilities.
So the few hours I get of an evening to do it, need to be (for the most part) focused on the book so the momentum that currently exists can continue and be realised...
If this book was some minor league project that only had self publishing potential, I would no doubt be able to put my days work or some portion thereof on the blog.
But this book is a MAJOR league affair with GREAT publishing potential, and so I can't be posting my days writing on that on here without jepordising the story and damaging it's potential to be paid for published...
The other reason I'm stopping the day on day stipulation
is
that at times when there is something particularly intersting going on or I've managed to engender or contribute to a paticular debate
or I have more time for writing...
it makes MUCH MORE SENSE to be able to knock off 3 or 4 blogs in a day than to be limited to just one...
So the blog will now become occasional
slow
FAST!!!
irregular
and probably better for it...

Here's something I don't understand...
One minute all the Libyan
MAD DOG
HATERZ
are bitching and complaining about the world standing
by
whilst they get
SLAUGHTERED!!!
And then
as soon as The US & UK start mumbling about
TAKING MILITARY ACTION!!!
The self same
MAD DOG
HATERZ
are saying
DON'T BOMB
AND DON'T NO FLY ZONE!!!
AND DON'T SAY IT'S CIVIL WAR!!!
WHAT DO YOU WANT THEN???

Another BATSHIT mental day of running about Central London
being
IMPORTANT
but (as ever) not yet getting paid...
This is the wierd WHIZZZZZZ of my life just now...
I'm at Lords Cricket Ground
or
The Dorchester
or
The Westbury
or
in a meeting with one of the UKs TOP literary agents who represents Jackie Collins & Boris Yeltsin
or
at the Coutts Bank Private Cellar showing off our fine wines
And then
I'm on the number 8 bus
to my home
which is a small office
with a sink
with no working hot water
and
no lights in the communal toilets
I have more than £50,000 of unsecured and overdue unpaid debts
bills unpaid
who send me nasty letters every day
a non existent stake in a business that isn't in my name
and more
DREAMS
than the queen
And over the way
in the yuppie flat
is the former Mrs Giovanni
and the BEAUTIFUL toddler
who TALKS
all day everyday
A PICTURE OF PROPER JOY!!!
And they have no REAL and PROPER money neither
just promises and hopes...
Yes boss...
Right now
I'm floating on
air
I haven't paid for
But you know what..?
I'm doing all right...
And I KNOW
that one day
I
or my descendents
will be fantastically rich
successful
SMUG
spoilt
and
comfrotable
and
I (they) will laugh
HEARTILY
about these times...
But just now
I'm
hopefully
THRASHING ABOUT
like a luxury dolphin who can see a little too much
sand...
SEA
SEA!!!

Today was mostly spent in the warm departures lounge of the international healing and spiritual love airport...
AKA
the flat of Amravati Mitchell
Yes boss
Amravati is the long time friend and Reiki Master of the subject of this biography I'm working on
And so I went there to interview her
and have lunch
and meet the new LOVE interest
and learn about spirituality
in particular Reike & Sekhem
Before any of this
I went to The Colonnade Hotel in Little Venice to meet her who I will be writing about (just as soon as legal technicalities are vanquished)
For now I will call her Erbande
'From the sweetest smelling flowers in the lobby to the temptingly plumped sofas in the lounge, it's the attention to detail that makes The Colonnade in Little Venice distinctively different.'
I sat on the plumped sofas, then went for a coffee with Erbande
She talked with the customer service bloke from nearby Warwick Street Tube about evolution vs creationism
spirtuality
love
etc.
We returned to the hotel
I once again sat on the plumped sofas whilst Erbande negotiated a 50% room discount because of an overly HOT towel rail that burnt her arm
Mahatma Michael was meditating
Bill paid
We saw our London Transport friend again at Warwick Road Tube who helped us
through the gates
(and with the ticket machine)
And onto a basement flat not far from Shepherds Bush Tube
In the room alongside Erbande, Amravati & me
were various people from all over the world
who globe trot giving spiritual healing & love promotion...
There was the modern day pioneer of
Sekhem Seichim Seichem
A tall, calm American fellow
Patrick
Patrick went to Egypt an architect and having spent a night on one of the pyramids came back with a mission to reintroduce and promote the ancient Egyptian art of Sekhem...
He now lives in New Zealand and was in the UK briefly on tour
There was Brendan
an Irish fellow living around the corner who makes documentaries and who once considered cannibalising a cheating Cambridge Graduate when stranded in a Bedford lorry in the badlands of Ethiopia
There was Paul
who used to work at the very fine Compendium book shop in Camden
and who is now on a plane to Australia
(after a month of when he'll be going to his Ashram in India)
& Mahatma Michael
resident of Dublin
owner of 2 jewellery shops
in LOVE
All told it was a curious day
and a very enjoyable one...
Yes boss
I always like to be surrounded by the upbeat
eloquent
and the unusual
those with thoughts
and opinions
and feelings
and crzay magic instincts
that don't conform to any kind of regular and reasonable norm
I wouldn't really believe it's all true
but I have it all on tape...

February 27th, 2011
Today I had a rather FURIOUS DAY OF ACTION!!!
Yes boss...
Since retiring from active Tescos service I've become somewhat averse to EARLY mornings...
Thing is
when you've been up at 5am or thereabouts for almost 2 years you feel you've had enough
OF THAT SHIT...
even though dawn is the very best time of every day...
And so these days I tend to sleep in a little and stay up late
and I don't like to set alarms...
This often means I'm awoken by the phone...
And so was the case today
I ignored it
and got back to lying there feeling rough and FEARING everything that the day might bring...
When eventually I got myself out of bed at around 10am the first thing I did was check the phone for the time and then the call...
It was a call from the UK mobile of the ALL behind the biography I'm writing....
I called back and discovered that the BIG STORY is in London for 4 days
and so I NEED TO GET TO WORK!!!
Which set me about a furious day that encompassed everything from cost breakdowns of wine, to computer repairs and maintenance to hoiking wardrobes in 8 pieces up 4 flights of stairs, to reworkings of profiles to jibber jabber to revision...
This next week is FULL ON MENTAL!!!

The SAS do my head in...
Yes boss
If it weren't bad enough that these half bred meaty murdering cunts rampage around the world in the name of BEING HARD AND UNBEATABLE!!!
Every other one who leaves THE FORCE!!!
now
SUDDENLY
thinks they can write books...?!?!
Yes boss
That none of them have read a book since Lofty Wisemans SAS Handbook doesn't seem to stop them...
Neither does the fact that they have no concept of how to write...?!?
That Andy McNab is the worst.
Yes boss
I read that 'Juliet Bravo Two Zeroes' book of his...
In it McNab managed to make what sounded like a rather EXCITING!!!
(though highly rapacious invasion of anothers land)
read like a rather boring boy scout outing...
It lacked colour and ENERGY and wit and proper STRENGTH...
It was all
b o r i n g d e t a i l ...
''and then I crouched down low, and then i killed probably 20 of them with a single shot, then i lay down low behind a tree and I hadn't eaten for 2 days and then I ran about a bit and then I sat behind another tree and this one had roots that snagged a ladder in my stocki-NO!!! IN MY MANLY DESSERT COMBAT TROUSERS!!!"
SHOCKING!!!
and not in a good way
I wouldn't mind so much
if McNab had stopped at the one book
But no...
He's now on book number 23
or whatever
and each look HAS to be more
ridiculous
and
IMMINENT HARD MAN ACTION
than the previous...
BRAVO MAN ZERO!!!
WAVO IRAN ZERO!!!
MAN ACTION WILD BIG GUN FANTASY III ZERO
RED DAWN IN A WHITE WINE SAUCE HERO!!!
DEAD DRAWN AGAINST THE HEAD BRAINS SPURTING OUT MY ZERO!!!
FAR BIGGER BATTLE THAN THE LAST ONE JUST ME AND MY GUN HUGS ZERO!!!
Yes boss
If I have one to say to say to Andy McNab it would be
FUCK OFF!!!

February 24th, 2011
CAN'T BE ARSED WITH THIS AT ALL TONIGHT!!!
So here's a repeat of the first time I was interviewed by my Official Short Clone - some 2 or 3 years ago...
(If you'd rather see it in glorious technicolor with pictures and links 'n that CLICK HERE)
OSCOPG£: So, who are you?? What do you do?? And what's with all the SHOUTY attitude AND THE BRIGHT FUCKING COLOURS??
PG£: I'm an exciting and free writer of the moment, I sometimes play with music, I love taking photos, meanwhile, I like to LIVE life to the absolute full every which way - hence the colours...
OSCOPG£: Those are some grand claims..
PG£: I've only ever been about delivery..
OSCOPG£: What do you write about??
PG£: I've recently been distracted into music writing, and to a more limited degree, sports writing - but fundamentally, I'm interested in writing about the substance of life: pain, love, power, death, birth, re-birth, passion, obsession, joy, frustration, having and not having...
OSCOPG£: What do you think makes you over and above the million and one other wanna be writers who clog up the internet with blogs..?
PG£: I'm a good writer and most who write blogs aren't... I write with complete freedom. I take huge risks to do things as they should be done. I have talent. I work hard. I have conviction and believe in myself...
OSCOPG£: Why wr-
PG£: And I'm not a quitter...
OSCOPG£: You say, you've been writing about music - why and how did that come about??
PG£: Well, I say I've been writing about music, but I'm a lover of a good diversion - so much of my music writing says very little about music at all. Instead it covers a whole load more about more divergent things of no real relevance...
OSCOPG£: Will you still be writing about music in 6 years time and appearing on those nostalgia '100 BEST POP MOMENTS' shows being all bitter and grumpy??
PG£: That's very unlikely. Music writing works for now - it provides a framework - a spine. Music is too big a part of things to ever be ignored - but my music writing career will end any day now, in fact it's probably already over...
OSCOPG£: So, what music do you actually like to write about?
PG£: Good music if I'm feeling positive and bad music if I WANT TO SHOUT!!!
OSCOPG£: Like what..?? Give me some names..?
PG£: I like anything that has beauty, soul, cleverness, style and integrity - also anything that sounds good that doesn't have any of the above....
OSCOPG£: What do you think gives you the authority to write about music - are you qualified??
PG£: I have no authority at all - you can only take, and trust your own authority when writing about anything.
I have opinions, I say them with style and that's about the size of it...
OSCOPG£: What do you say to those who'd say you're nothing as a writer unless you're published in The NME or another more conventional and well known magazine??
PG£: 'Name' magazines give you a bigger profile and pay packet quicker - but writing should always be done on your terms, or else you risk becoming an aimless and boring staff writer and loosing your individual way.
At this point in time, I therefore don't feel the need to work with bigger mags unless I can dictate the terms to the letter...
Some would say this is just a cover for my not being good enough.
But I'm completely certain that on my day, my work's better than most of what you get from well paid writers in 'proper' writing jobs..
OSGOPG£: So, you write blogs and exclusive online content for paulgiovanni.com - why not just send your stuff out to other bigger magazines and papers as well and cover all bases - how can a few hundred thousand extra readers do you any harm??
PG£: When writing, the first thing you need to do is to get your voice and style honed - this takes a long while, and when you're doing it you make lots of basic mistakes.
I'm doing this now, and I'd rather makes these mistakes in my own time and space and keep my voice close to hand rather than be forever chopped and cut about...
With regards to small and indpendent magazines:
I find you get a lot of jealous wannabees and never gonnabees as well as some definitely gonnabes, who like to take pot shots at your work to make themselves feel better and more talented, to make you read more like they write, and/or to damage your VROOOMMM!!!!!
I can't be bothered with this - even though it could make me stronger...
I mean, why should I tolerate competing writers and amateur editors tearing up and cajouling my work, when the readers, can do that minus the agenda??
Sure, when the only outlet for developing writers was printed collections, there was no choice but to compromise, but now with a broadband connection, a few promo hours a day and good strategic alliances, you can make your own wide and clever audience...
OSCTPG£: So, basically, it's all their fault??
PG£: Well, I can be a complete ego ass to work with, and that's caused problems with magazines. Things is, I find it close to impossible to get on with other writers and editors who aren't concentrating on the job. I never fit into the cliches. I don't like the fact I'm not the center of attention, and I don;t like shoddy work. So, nowadays, I no longer bother trying to ingratiate myself and instead I get on with the work..
OSCOPG£: You really love yourself don't you??
PG£: Of course...
OSCOPG£: And you seem to think you're very important..
PG£: If I had a mainstream or even minor deal, people would be paid to tell the world how good and impotent I am, and no-one would think that strange...
OSCOPG£: But surely that's important - that it's someone else doing the boasting - someone who knows what they're talking about. You doing it makes you sound corrupt, stupid or an egomaniac..?!?
PG£: I have plenty of people affirming my work - all are strangers... But yes, I'm completely corrupt. I think I'm the only one who's important. Every writer feels the same way. Why else put yourself forward as a writer??
OSCOPG£: Ideally speaking, would you like a mainstream publishing deal?!?
PG£: I was RED HOT MAD for one a while back, but now I'm not so bothered. The problem is, todays publishers are only interested in money and sensationalism, whereas I'm only interested in good writing, love, longevity and adoration.Doing things as I do them now, gives me complete access to a wide readership without contracts, excessive compromise and unsatisfying royalty payments..
OSCOPG£: Are blogs and online publishing the future of journalism and writing??
PG£: Good, well worked and honest writing is the future of journalism and writing..
OSCOPG£: What else do you want to write about??
PG£: I only ever write about turns me on when I wake up in the morning..
OSCOPG£: What's with all the fish??
PG£: Fish are the Official Creature to Paul Giovanni £rd: I live on Fish Island, I often stand around with my mouth open, and I like to eat them..
OSCOPG£: What can the reader of Paul Pious Giovanni £rd expect now and in the future??
PG£: Suprises..

February 23rd, 2011
Have a BIG OLD BLOG in my today
but not enough time and energy to get it down in one go
as good as it could be
so I'll save most of it and skip over the outline...
In the morning it was a
lonnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
tube ride over to Park Royal to undergo screening for a medical trial...
Yes boss
I'm down to do this experiment into drugs that facilitate the body increasing it's natural painkilling response to nerve pain...
It will involve 3 lots of 4 days in the research hospital in a bleak industrial wasteland near Wenbley Stadium in March & April and will pay close to £2000
For this £2000 I have to take this drug (first time tried on humans)
and lie in bed
reading
sleeping
twittering CRAP on Twitter
and on this here blog...
It's my equivalent of rehab...
Well...
Screening seemed to go fine.
I was supposed to be there at 11.00am
but didn't make it until 11.23am
I had a FULL and THOROUGH EXAMINATION!!!
ECG
a few syringes of blood
urine
breathalyser
photo
BPM
Blood pressue
reflexes
etc
Then I had to pop upstairs to the wanking room to knock out a semen sample...
which was a lot easier to do than I thought it might be...
Yes boss
the only noticed side effect of this new drug
when tested on snimals
was that
(in much higher doses than I will recieve)
it lead to a drop in the sperm count.
and so amongst the rest I'm gonna be getting paid for having 5 wanks...
I get the full results
of the screening on Friday and I reckon it'll all be OK...
Yes boss
Today I had a Standing BPM of 58 and a lazy BPM of 51!!!
Not quite up to my Miguel Indurainesque best of 38 one day on another trial for a blood pressure drug in Croydon
but still pretty fucking good and healthy...
My Blood Pressure was also fine n'all
NOT BAD FOR A CUNT WHO SITS ABOUT ON THE INTERNET DRINKING AND SHOUTING!!!
I left the unit at 14.22
(though for the sake of myth we'll call it 14.23pm)
and headed straight over to Vinopolis in London Bridge
to taste some wine...
53
February 22nd, 2011
YES!!!
Like I twitted...
My daughter has chicken pox.
And so today I have spent less time Lybian
and more time playing games.
Fortunately
Emma appears to be getting off lightly with the POX!!!
She's barely scratching
is still quite cheery
and only 2 days in
appears to be
FIGHTING IT LIKE A LYBIAN!!!
Even so
I never find it easy doing the childcare when we have to stay in all day because of weather or beacuse of an illnesss.
For me, the best fun with kids is going out and about.
Emma is the adventurous type and so she likes to get out with her buggy and to climb steps and go on swings and climb on whatever is within height range.
And I like to take a camera or daydream easy if we're in the park or walking up the canal, or doing the Greenway walk up to the Olympic View Tube and back (by way of all staircases at least several times).
But today it was all indoors.
It was OK.
I managed to keep her happy with youtube Pingu, Peppa Pig & Nursery Rhymes on her mothers laptop whilst I digested the latest GUFFAWWAFFLINGS OF THE MAD DOG!!!
Yes boss
I think it's fair to say that today Gadaffi put in another EPIC performance of TOTAL AND COMPLETE FUCKING SHIT DANGEROUS MADNESS!!!
Next to Pingu he looked to be UTTERLY BOKERS!!!
and Pingu is hardly sane...
Perhaps it's a trite and crass comparrison
but I find I have a similar attitude to Gadaffi as I do to The Gallagher Brothers...
Yes boss, I LOVE to hear the Gallagher brothers talk
but I HATE their fucking music
WITH A PASSION!!!
And so with Gadaffi
His talk, style, dress is fascinatingly mad and eccentric
everything
I like
But his MURDERING SHIT STIR FRY CAPTAIN KURZESQUE CRAZINESS CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF!!!
I guess one thing that is now clear...
MAD DOG will soon be dead
And once he is and the immediates have been dealt with it's IMPERATIVE THAT PRICK CUNT BLIAR does some time over selling this OBVIOUSLY BARKING MADMAN weapons...
Yes boss, I expect the jovial smiley faced CUNT will find some absurd and ridiculous explanation as to how 'god told him it would be OK', and 'that he was just doing what his conscience told him' and 'that MAD DOG had turned over a new leaf', BLAH BLAH WOOF WOOF!!!
But to any SANE person it's been obvious for years that Gadaffi is TOALLY FUCKING BONKERS!!!
And for me, any CUNT IDIOT who has knowingly sold him weapons
HAS
to do time...
Back to the mundane...
The reason I was doing childcare today was because Mummy Pig was out with our business partner Kimba meeting our accountant Melvyn at some nightclub on Shaftesbury Avenue.
They were supposed to be raking through out month and half late VAT return as well as working out
HOW IN THE HELL???
our business is going to make MONEY!!! enough
so I can retire before the end of next week...
Well
I'm not sure how it went
No boss, at some point they got sidetracked by the arrival of another of Melvyns clients Celina Rollon and her new artist Ruth Lorenzo, who I am told came 5th in X Factor in 2008.
They proceeded to drink a vast quantity of wine and so Mummy Pig just arrived back
COMPLETELY ARSEHOLED AND UNABLE TO TALK!!!
And you know what..?
I'M STONE COLD SOBER!!!
Yes boss, tomorrow I have to go to Park Royal in the AM for my screening appointment for this medical trial into the improvement of naturally occuring pain relief chemicals that have a similar effect to pot...
And so I am having to abstain from booze and food and caffeine
Yes boss
I am now sat here in a room FULL of wine and I am unable to touch a drop...
IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE!!!
52
February 21st, 2011
The only thing I have to say today is that I'm totally ashamed to be in anyway connected with The UK...
The Genocide in Libya
armed
funded
and legitimised by the CUNTBLIAR government is TERRORISM of the worst kind...
Yes boss, CUNTBLIAR needs to be booked into The Hague for a war crimes tribunal ASAP
Everything he touched when in power (excepting Northern Ireland) was a COMPLETE FUCKING HORRIFIC BLOOD FILLED DISASTER!!!
He took us into INANE STUPID FUCKING WARS made up by a delusional US President...
Then
he made friends with, armed and added legitimacy to the worlds most deranged MAD DOG who is in the process of trying to slaughter his own people until there are none left...?!?!
And to think some unelected IDIOT somewhere has since had the IDIOT gall to appoint him to be a Middle Eastern Peace Envoy?!?!
CUNTBLIAR GO TO HELL!!!
That said...
Nice Guy Cameron isn't proving to any better at judgement...
No boss, on the day Libya is
BLASTING THE SHIT!!!
out of his own people with UK made weapons...
he's nextdoor in Egypt pretending to be important...?!?!
NEXT!!!
he goes on a Tour of The Middle East with a batch of British Arms Companies
TOUTING FOR NEW BUSINESS???
Meantime Willy Vague can manage nothing other than absurd and normal calls for 'restraint' by Libya...
MAD DOG IS FUCKING BONKERS WILLIAM!!!
HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IDEAS OF RESTRAINT AND NORMAL BEHAVIOUR?!?!
HE'S LIKE PHIL SPECTOR
BUT IN POWER!!!
Do these posh schoolboys not understand that as and when (and it won't be long)
MAD DOG is gone...
The FREE Libyans (if they have sense) won't want to have NOTHING to do with the UK
on account of us
supplying
ARMING
and legitimising Gadaffi???
And on account of us saying or
DOING!!!
JACK SHIT
of any worth in removing him..???
GRADE A CUNTS ALL OF THEM!!!

February 20th, 2011

February 19th, 2011
I like Twitter
It's a good challenge is 140 characters
IT'S WRITERS CRACK!!
But this current Middle Eastern situation has made me reconsider it completely...
Yes boss, I don't mind a bit of banality when not much is happening in the world
But when you're seeing videos of people being shot in the head
and
MACHINE GUNNED
for daring to have an opinion
and then you check your timeline to find a whole bunch of self absorbed
DISMAL CUNTS!!!
talking
#eastenders catch up it is then #rockandrolllifestyle
I have now been paying computer games (for work) for 10 hours. My hands are claws and I have 30% visibility due to eyeball dryness.
BIEBER ALERT: 2008 Bieber takes over Youtube. 2009 Bieber takes over Twitter. 2010 Bieber takes over music. 2011 Bieber takes over the world
I gave up eating chocolate in january. my next target is crisps. will be hard i think....
I find I want to perform a massacre of my own...
Yes boss
I don't believe this rotten shitty world will ever be saved
or that there will even be very much progress...
But I do believe there are windows
here
and
there
whereby some GOOD change
CAN
be affected to make peoples lives a little bit easier...
And I think one of those times is these here Arab Revolutions happening
NOW!!!
So maybe...
FORGET YOURSELF
and your own shitty unfulfilled RICH spoilt fucking life for a minute
and see something of the world in
transition
SEE what real and proper sacrifice, suffering and PAIN is...
and try and add something
to what is happening...?

February 18th, 2011
FUCK MY SPATS!!!
I FORGOT TO WRITE A BLOG!!!
48
February 17th, 2011
I spent today over in rural West London taking photos of the paintings by Elpida George
Up till now, I've mostly concentrated my photography on my own creative work
This shoot required me to put
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
of my own creativity
in
It was a challenge
But on first glance the results look to be OK...
Having finished the pics
I had a poorly satisfying
sausage, egg, chips and beans
in some half cafe in Acton Central
occupied by
MANIC
arguments over poor town planning
'YOU OPEN THE DOOR ONTO WHAT??? THERE'S NO FOOTPATH?!?!......HOW CAN A FIRE ENGINE GET DOWN THERE???.....THE ROADS NOT WIDE ENOUGH?!?!.....AND THERE'S NO FOOTPATH?!?!......CAN YOU SEE A FOOTPATH????....THERE IS NO FOOTPATH!!!!'
Then, I was on the train
back to
Fish Island
At (i think) West Hampstead
a familiar face boarded the train right nextdoor to me
@BonnySentrosi
Bonny works for the illustrious Rollon Entertainment
He Tour Manages House singer Tara McDonald
makes music
speaks Japanesse
amongst many other things...
It was good to catch up...
Bonny was on his way to popping home at Gospel Oak to go up to Finchley to pick up a car to go to St Pancreas to pick up 2 music people to take them to the Usher afterparty at the Indigo2
The best news Bonny told me
was that
BIG things are afoot in the world of Rollon Entertainment
Yes boss, as per predicted and encouraged
the HIGHLY talented pop singer Laura Steel is being courted by BIG labels
OFFERS ABOUND!!!!
Sadly
I no longer work with Laura
We fell out over stolen photos, not enough V.I.P and not enough wine
But I remain a fan
Yes boss
Laura will go FAR!!!! because she's a HUGE AND CONFIDENT talent
and because she has exceptional management
I LOVE exceptional managers!!!
But the problem I have with them
is that they tell people how things are going to be...
And (right or wrong) I don't like to be
TOLD
anything....
47
February 16th, 2011
I'm sat here
IRONICALLY
wearing my Tescos bodywarmer
This isn't a statement so much as
I don't have anything to hand that's more comfortable and warm...
No boss...
After the first Tescos letter I got
2 weeks after not turning up
URGING ME TO ATTEND A MEETING!!!
I got another...
It said I hadn't turned up for THE LAST meeting
and as a consequence
I HAD ANOTHER MEETING WITH THE STORE MANAGER!!!
I didn't turn up to that meeting either
I guess I'm now
SACKED!!!
But my 10% off staff card still works
and I'm yet to recieve any paperwork confirmation...
Today...
I was at The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden to taste French wine...
It was alright....
I got there a bit late
had a FREE lunch
then set about the wines...
There were a few good ones
but I was really struggling on cleansing the pallette
Everything was blurrrrrrrrry
and I found it hard to get the flavours off my tongue to be able taste anything
new...
I came away with 18 FREE bottles though...
Yes boss
at the end of each of these do's there's a crime...
Hundreds of half opened bottles go into a skip unless you
GRAB THEM QUICK!!!
And then
there are producers who have
10 bottles and no way of taking them back on the Eurostar...?!?!?!
So now I'm enjoying a bottle of red
Domaine Marsoif
La Croix des Templiers
Bourgogne
Appellation Bourgogne Controlee
EPINEUIL
2009
Pinot Noir
IT'S HOT FUCKING SHIT!!!
'An estate at Tonnerre in the northern Yonne owned and run since 1990 by Raphael Masson.
7ha of wines are on gently sloping, clay-limestone soils once owned by the
Knights Templar
( a chapel remains on the property).
The main production is in AOC Bourgogne Tonnerre (Chardonnay), supplemented by
AOC Epineuil: red and rose.
Petit Chablis
and
Cremant de Bourgogne.
Blanc de Blancs
(BLANKETY BLANK????)
Non-interventionist winemaking.

February 15th, 2011
Well today was terribly furious...
Vomit
diarroea
& sleeping on a sofa like a guest in my OWN old house
Bertie Contador being cleared of dope
and Tottenham beating AC Milan without their star man Bale..?
I'd start at the top, except I need more time to work it properly...
So let's get straight onto the the cheap hearsay sporting TOSH!!!
Spurs are good.
One of my predictions for this football season
(I think the only correct one)
was that Spurs would go good in the Champions League
And so they have...
I don't like to have to admit it, but I do like Redknapp
Shame the only time he done
SHIT!!!
was when he was managing The Saints
And Bertie...?
CLEARLY AN INNOCENT MAN!!!
And the first splinter in the phoney
WAR ON PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS IN SPORT!!!???
Here's my take...
I would imagine Bertie doped.
I'd imagine he has a very
VERY
clever doping doctor who was only caught out by an absurdly accurate test.
But the thing that's GREAT about Bertie
is that he has an undying and
COMPLETE
BELIEF
that he can do
NO!!!
wrong and will
NEVER
be beat...
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO WIN!!!
Yes boss, I read recently that Andy Schleck realised his defeat in last years Tour
when he was about to step onto the podium in Paris...
Well SHIT!!!
Bertie realised he was gonna loose the Tour when he saw Schleck
ATTACK!!!
then slip his chain...
So
Bertie acted accordingly and grabbed the Tour winning margin...
Then knowing 'mateyness' was
Schlecks
achilies
got all 'matey'
to take away the fire from Schlecks
STEAM of response!!!
Yes boss, the reason Bertie has won 3 and counting
is
that like Lance
he doesn't fully understand or comprehend the idea of
defeat...
Physically, Schleck was a mile or 2 better than Bertie in the 2010 Tour
but he got beat because
HE DOESN'T
NEED
TO WIN!!!
BERTIE DOES!!!
Schleck was outplayed by Berties psycho games
his REFUSAL to be beat by a beter man
and his friends in
HIGH
places...
LONG LIVE BERTIE!!!
TOUGHEN THE FUCK UP SCHLECK!!!
45
February 14th, 2011
Valentines Day...?
More than anyone
I remember a little bald bloke
who died on
February 14th 2004
Marco Pantani
Aged 34
In a Room
In a Hotel
Called 'The Rose'
Cause of death..?
Overdose of Cocaine
(allegedly - very hard to actually do)
Mafia..?
Yes boss
Pantani's life and times were everything
I LOVE
about cycling
about drama
about life
Charismatic
talented
preparred to risk
ALL...
His
EPIC
(disappear to the mist)
Galibier
His crashed
4x4
4
x
in the space of an hour
Armstrong
through the
XXMXXMMMMIX
in the 2000 tour
And the day before that...?
The last day
HE
won!!!
into Morzine
So tonight..?
I tip my drink to Pantani...
Or at least I was doing that...
whilst reading
@Cunthorse
But then I got a message from the former Mrs Giovanni
to tell me she was so ill she couldn't
move...
And so I repaired to my former
OFFICIAL
residence
to cover the baby sitting
And now my daughter is waking up and puking...
HAPPY VALENTINES!!!

February 13th, 2011
LABELS & BADGES???
I'm not keen...
AND FLAGS CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF!!!
Yes boss, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a cricketer...
After
'Wildlife Photographer'
my first SERIOUS job goal was
PROFESSIONAL CRICKETER!!
I did everything I could to achieve this goal...
I spent hours
THROWING A TENNIS BALL AGAINST THE WALL OF THE HOUSE
AND CATCHING IT!!!
It drove my family MADD!!!!
THUUNK!!!
THUNNK!!!
THUNK!!!
When they complained
I informed them me throwing the ball against the wall was in the long term
GOOD!!!
I went to the park with my friend Martin Rolfe as often as possible to practice
Martin was into cricket
but not as much as I was.
At 11 he went to a cricket friendly school and me to
another...
Within weeks Martin was sent trialing for Hampshire Youth
but he wasn't that serious about it
and so it went nowhere..
First time I played at my Secondary School
I took 3 wickets in the first over
all bowled..
THE SPORTS TEACHER WHOOPED!!!
And the girls asked me to
'stop playing properly'
But I also went nowhere...
My school was only interested in athletics
and so I got nothing more than brief school fame...
Well...
I don't feel bad about it now
even though playing PRO SPORT might have been
fun
No boss
I would have been TOO young
and confrontational
and HOT HEADED
to have had a good and long lasting career at sport
And I would have never got on with
the national anthem
43
February 12th, 2011
WHY IN THE HELL
I opted this to be a blog day in day out blog I will never know...?!!?
No boss, if there's one thing I'm not it's
consistent
And so on some days
I have 10 blogs in me
And on others none...
Yes boss
3 days ago
when i incurred the wrath of a number of Professional Cyclists and their fans
I coulda done
10
battling their little pious fantasies
And because I could only do one
I lost the momentum
and the hundreds of extra reads I'd have got if i'd have done
10
Today
I don't have much
I feel like doing pictures tonight...
And so if that interests you

February 11th, 2011
THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAS GONE!!!!
At times, I've had inklings as to what and who and why...
But having never been to Egypt
and not really knowing what's happening on the ground
it's been a tough revolution to predict...
I guessed right that it would take 10 days or more and that there would be plenty of blood shed...
that's about it...
What remains unclear is
what the military will do now...?
And the protesters..?
Will Liberation Square be deserted this time next week..?
Will they march on Shalm and burn the MOOOO in his BILLION DOLLAR scooba..?
Whatever....
The Egyptian people have been shown to be
PROPERLY REVOLUTIONARY HARDCORE!!!
And I wish them all the best...
But I would also say this...
Democracy is something of a wet fish.
It sure beats a 30 year State Of Emergency Police State
But it doesn't mean you're not ruled by a VICIOUS ELITE
HELL BENT ON DEATH!!!
Now, where's that CUNT BLIAR???
41
February 10th, 2011
BLIMEY!!!
THAT LAST ONE'S A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW!!!
4 TIMES AS MANY VIEWS AS ANYTHING ELSE TO DATE!!!!
and it's been up less than a day...
I'm not sure I'm going to follow it with much either...
Yes boss
I had all kinds of ideas for a follow up piece that would have been a bit more considered and less emotional...
A 'Further & Better Particulars' kind of thing
But I don't have it in me today, so it'll have to be for another day...
I'm not gonna babble much on Egypt either
until it calms down...
It looks like The MOOOOOOOOOOOO is on his way out...
But what follows..?
Oh, and I'm suspicious of MR GOOGLE!!!
I'm not sure he's at all real...
Errrrr....
MY RIGHT INDEX FINGER HURTS!!!
TOO MUCH TYPING AND MOUSE WIGGLING!!!
It won't be long before I have CHRONIC arthritis in that finger...
I'll have to employ a typist...
On that note
I'll stop...

February 9th, 2011
I LOVE CYCLING!!!
I LOVE THE MINDLESS AND RECKLESS STUPIDITY OF IT!!!
The idiotic SELF MACHISMO....
Cippolinis early career Pre-Raphaelite hair...
Pantanis INSANE MINCING of Der Kaiser in the 1998 Tour
Lance Armstrongs NASTY cancer charity trading dominance.
Miguel Indurains CALM robotic CERTAINTY!!!
Yes boss, I and a friend so LOVED the worl-
NO!!!
cycling
so much
we cycled to the 1999 Tour (won by a doped up Lance Armstrong)
on bikes that barely worked.
PREP??
I'd done little that year except smoked vast quantities of dope, regular acid, some speed and ecstasy and drunk HEAVILY, whilst getting one of the few commendations on my Economics Diploma at Ruskin College, Oxford.
My training for The Tour consisted of giving up smoking for 2 weeks.
I hadn't cycled further than the corner shop for a very VERY long time...
No boss, we weren't on a health kick...
FUCK THAT SHIT!!!
WE LOVED PANTANI WAS ALL!!!
WE COULDN'T CARE A BLIND FUCK IF HE DOPED OR NOT!!!
HE'D DONE THE DOUBLE IN 1998 IN IMMENSE STYLE!!!
HE WAS OUR KINDA GUY!!!
RECKLESS!!!
PASSIONATE!!!
bald
EMOTIONAL!!!
STICKY OUT EARED!!!
INSTINCTIVE!!!
BRILLIANT!!!
Well...
Our aim in 1999 was to make Alp D'Huez!!!
500 MILES with FULL PANNIERS in 10 days!!!
I had about £120 of Francs and no fucking maps, so I had to have Mike in eyesight at all times...
Each night we slept rough
and drank a few bottles of wine...
Nevermind home comforts
WE JUST WANTED TO SEE THE TOUR!!!
We got frustrated,
fell out
and
almost DIED on our bikes more than once...
BUT WE MADE IT!!!
OH FUCKING HELL YES!!!
First up the Telegraphe (Cippo didn't make it)
then Col Du Galibier
then D'HUEZ!!!
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!
There are 2 things I don't like about cycling...
1
is GEAR FREAKS!!!
People who's only apparent interest in cycling seems to be idiocy like gear ratios, carbon fibre and clothing...
Yes boss, one of the funnier moments of our Tour in 1999 was at the top of Telegraphe...
I made it up the MONSTER without stopping.
It was then, AND REMAINS one of my finest achievements on a bike!!!
Mike did better.
He went off ahead...
HAD A FUCKING PUNCTURE!!!
(I passed him SMUGLY grinding my granny gear (69X23) and SUFFERING!!!)
Only for Mike to FIX his puncture, catch up and
BEAT me to the stage win...?!?!?
FUCKING E P I C!!!
Anyway, we're at the top of Telegraphe
and we bump into some Brits.
They're all geared up..
A few grands worth of bike and clothing and a car to the bottom of the hill to get it all and THEM there...
Mike has just MINCED THE TELEGRAPHE WITH A PUNCTURE AND HEAVY PANNIERS having cycled all the way from Bolton!!!
And all they can talk about is what gear ratios Mike has on his bike...!?!?
Mike then had a Peugeot bike that when NEW wouldn't have cost more than £100.
It was a simple 10 speed fake HEAVY racing bike.
Shit, it had those secondary brake levers on the bars and HEAVY panniers on the rack.
Mike had no more of a clue what fucking gear ratios were than they did as to the definition of the word STYLE!!!
But he fucking well cycled ALL the way from Bolton, via Norwich to London, then to Southampton, then to Col De Telegraphe on them...
Yes boss, it's these kind of soulless MATERIAL WARM GEAR LOVING PEOPLE who I DO HATE to see involved in cycling
For me...
CYCLING IS ABOUT
GUTS
RISK
BLOOD
DANGER!!!
(not gear ratios and technical fucking clothing)
PASSION!!!
FIRE!!!
SPORT!!!
INCREDIBLE ODDS!!!
'And what gear ratios have you got on that..??'
'FUCK OFF YOU BORING BASTARD!!! I'VE JUST CYCLED HERE IN 10 DAYS ON A BIKE YOU WOULDN'T SPIT AT!!!'
The 2nd thing that annoys me with cycling is the current
IDIOTIC PURITANICAL WAR ON DRUGS!!!
Yes boss, if it weren't bad enough that we already suffer an inept, unwinnable war on a whole range of perfectly reasonable recreational drugs, this last 10 or so years has seen a new IDIOTIC war
on Performance Enhancing drugs
The most recent salvo in this
is set to be the sad case of Riccardo Ricco..
Yes boss...
last weekend Dicky Ricky Riccardo seems to have for once and for all KIBOSHED his career by way of blood doping himself with bad blood...
Word is he nearly killed himself.
41 Degree Fever
Kidney Damage???
LIFETIME BAN IMMINENT!!!
Well shit...
I'm gutted because I like Ricky - have done since he got frisky in the Giro in 2008.
He would have won that race, but for a few bits of bad luck.
And he would have won the Tour that year 'n all if he hadn't got caught using the then latest version of EPO
I was GUTTED the day he got kicked out...
I could see it coming.
It was clear he was on something the others didn't have - but I couldn't give the slightest shit.
He was GREAT!!! to watch...
Yes boss..
I like doping in sport and I'd like to see the phoney war against it ANULLED!!!
I like doping in cycling in particular because all of my favourite riders BARRING NONE have doped...
They've either been caught, or have produced such recklessly FANTASTIC performances there is no way in hell any right thinking person could believe they can be clean...
And so to be against doping is to be a FUCKING TWO FACED IDIOT!!!
and I'm a mostly honest man...
So...
Last night I had a dig at a few Pro Cyclists by way of my darling @sportyjdeman twitter, suggesting they had
NO FUCKING BALLS!!!
for queueing up to lynch the Ricco
whilst keeping their words in their mouths on this last decades most
SUCCESSFUL DOPER!!!
@lancearmstrong
Seems like I hit a NERVE with the needle...
(most of them have felt it before)
My point???
I don't care if anyone dopes so long as they're good to watch...
I'll finish with this...
Today I was reading the coverage of Riccos mishap and one particular comment from some cunt in the Italian Rules stood out...
“We are faced with a young guy who is sick inside, intoxicated. This is very damaging and the Federation will take all the necessary steps to protect itself."
WHO'S HE TALKING ABOUT???
LANCE???
You know what..?
He's a cunt, and I used to hate him, but I've grown to like Lance...
Yes boss, I want my cycling legends to be
'sick inside, intoxicated by false messages, those of fame and success at any cost and by any means – who has lost all sense of the reality of life...'
I don't want to see virginial choirboys celestially floating up dope FREE mountains on waves of warm HOT BIG MONEY BACKED TEAM smugness...
I want to see
MENTALISTS BLOWING THEIR FUCKING BRAINS OUT TO WIN AT ANY COST!!!
Sorry about that...
GET WELL SOON RICKY!!!

I AM STAYING IN THE CAR!!!!
I AM NOT HERE!!!!
We were in the bar, somewhere we don't know in North Italy...
Driven to deliver Scandolera Prosecco...
and the 2 years before that.
IT'S THE HARVEST!!!
And one evening at the last harvest
mySPAZZ friendadder had introduced me to a singer called Laura Steel
I've long had in interest in working with a good quality ambitious female singer...
Myspace is littered with them...
EVERYONE IS A SINGER?!?!?!
ALMOST EVERYONE CAN SING!!!!
But the ability, guts and the drive and the inclination to go somewhere???
Very few...
Some are loaded with talent and songs but stiffled by ideas of integrity and £$£$£money£$£$£$
Others have no fucking clue and some are just faces who...????
Celina Rollon is a genius...
Working???
I don't even know where I fit...
One day I WILL make a record where I hammer the shit out of the singer...
the start point is Bjorks Homogenic....
The project involves being locked in a barn for 23 days with instruments and recording equipment and little if anything else...
It WILL never happen...
Whilst i wait for it to never happen, I do odd writing jobs for Celina & Laura and others,
I represent Scandolera,
I take pictures
I SHOUT BLOGS!!!
I sit outside on sunny days in Italy being brought wine and I pretend to translate...
I DIGRESS!!!
WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE!!!
There is a disco that needs a delivery.
LAURA MUST SING AND I MUST DRESS IN ADIDAS WITH NO TIGHT TROUSERS BELONGING TO CELINA!!!
Then we're lost and there's phones..
Inside, there is Zebra pattern furniture
'I'm a man without conviction...
I'M A DRUNK INOPPORTUNE IAN CURTIS IN A ZEBRA SKINNED BAR...
and SING
We pay for nothing and exit into the blacked out Chrysler Voyager like the ROCKSTARS we think we are...
blue lights...
I AM IN THE CAR!!!
I AM STAYING IN THE CAR!!!!
I AM NOT HERE!!!!

Yesterday, I got a letter from Tescos Bromley By Bow...
It said that I hadn't turned up for a while
and that I hadn't arranged any leave
and that I'm booked in
to attend a disciplinary hearing tomorrow
at
10am....
HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST!!!
I DONE AN ENIGMATIC ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT DISAPPEARING ACT!!!
I FOUGHT THE LAW AND I WON!!!
LET ME BE!!!

I don't expect anyone to believe me....
No boss...
Emma was tired
so tired she was falling asleep on the floor
and whereas this getting her to sleep at all in the afternoon thing is usually
A TOUGH ASK!!!
it was clear that today it wouldn't take much...
So...
I put her in the buggy and walked towards the canal
but KNOWING it wouldn't take that long
U-turned back and up Bream Rd
then right onto Stour Rd
then left down Smeed Rd
NO SLEEPING BUNNY...
Back round to the right of Dace Road
Right into Monier Rd
Back right down Smeed Rd
ASLEEP!!!
I wheeled the buggy back to Dace Rd and into the @harmonicande PG£ Base via the 5 doors
TIME FOR MORE PROMO ON MY EGYPT PREDICTO BLOG!!!
I AM NOSTRODAMUS!!!
etc
I parked her up
and she started squirming
then
SHOT UP!!!
WIDE AWAKE!!!!
after less than 10 minutes sleep
'OOOOOHHH!!! OMCPUTER!!!....OOOOOOOOOOO BIKEALETTA I LIKE IT!!!!......OOOOOOOOOOO UCCELINO!!! CHE BELLO UCCLINO, QUESTO BIKEALETTA EMMA!!!.....DOVE MUMMY?????......OOOOOOOOOOO..........???'
WIDE AWAKE AND FRESH LOOKING IN 10 MINUTES???
A POWER NAP!!!
Well we can't stay in the @harmonicande PG£ Base because it isn't anything approaching child friendly, and THEIR AIN'T NO SPACE FOR ALL MY CRAP!!!
So it's back out to pad the streets...
We go out the door
up the concrete steps
towards the Greenway
and as we're reaching the top I see what looks like a dead fox behind a piece of Olympic furniture...
Now, I've always been interested in dead animals, I used to collect bits of them when I was young and before I became a serial ki-NO NO!!!!!
and having found the OFFICIAL WHITE DOVE OF PEACE!!! in the gutter on the previous day, I deicded to take a look see the fox...
Well...
Guess what it was..?
Behind the Olympic furntiure, was a BIG pile of clothes...
Now, this isn't unusual either in London in general and certainly not in East London...
But when I took a look at what was there it was a little more surprising...
The dead fox was some kind of a fur scraf with LOTS OF SPIKES!!
There was a couple of very nice black ladies coats that appear to be handmade
There was loads of metal and plastic chain mail including a shirt
Some odd masks
And a pair of LIME GREEN fake snakeskin leather trousers...
RESULT!!!

February 5th, 2011
Yesterday was supposed to be
THE DAY OF DEPARTURE!!!
I'm not sure if the protesters called it so
or the media
who are now hungering for a conclusion...
Whichever
MOOOOOOOOBARACK
didn't depart...
No boss, the day more or less passed without incident.
MOOOOOOOOOO told his supporters to lie low...
He's gone back to a strategy of kettling...
And he won the day...
Yes boss, for the revolution to have won it
MOOOOOOOOO HAD TO GO!!!!
Yesterday was the day to march on the palace and literally KICK HIIM OUT!!!
THOUSANDS would have died
But large casualties are unavoidable when overthrowing a cretinous stubborn military prick like MOOOOO!!!! on your own terms...
It would have been a bloodbath
But MOOOO would be gone...
Now the apparent plan is for ROCKY IV
'The Sunday Of Martyrs'
If there are no serious skirmishes and/or the crowd is any way percieved to be smaller
THE REVOLUTION IS OVER!!!
The support will drift away
The media with melt away (they already are)
The police will start picking stragglers off
The momentum will go...
And the soldiers will show their true colours - which have always been
MOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Yes boss, the problem with REVOLUTIONARY YOUTHS!!!
Is they don't always understand that the masses have things to do other than SHOUT SLOGANS!!!
People have to eat and their kids have to eat and they have to be able to sleep at night in safety...
Not everyone can sit in a square for weeks on end DREAMING RADICAL IMMEDIATE CHANGE!!!
Egyptians are clearly HUNGRY for change
But they are also hungry...
Once again I hope I'm wrong...

February 4th, 2011
I'm in one of those rather FRIGHTFUL spells of life when
NOTHING
IS
CERTAIN?!?!?
Yes boss...
Currently more or less eveything secure is
in the
a i r .
NOTHING IS BALANCED!!!
At times like these the easiest thing to do is to
SHIT YOURSELF!!!
(and at times I do...)
But
overall
Uncertainty leads to edge
and edge leads to excitement
and challenges
and ideas
and ADVENTURE!!!
And having been in such precarious positions
MANY
MANY
TIMES
BEFORE
I feel certain the place I find myself this time next year
will work out be a whole lot better
than the place
I'm
in
now...
In other news...
These Egyptian Protestors are HARD BASTARDS!!!
I like the way they're finally setting out their (one of many no doubt) agendas...
1. Resignation of the president
2. End of the Emergency State
3. Dissolution of The People's Assembly and Shora Council
4. Formation of a national transitional government
5. An elected Parliament that will ammend the Constitution to allow for presidential elections
6. Immediate prosecution for those responsible of the deaths of the revolution's martyrs
7. Immediate prosecution of the corrupters and those who robbed the country of its wealth.
As I've said before, I can only take the word of the media in all it's forms on this whole issue...
But in essence this seems to be some kind of an anarcho democratic revolution...
For the most part, it's not about political parties, or charismatic leaders or HEAVY POLITICS!!! or egos or heavy duty agendas..
It's about, people who have simply sucked up
TOO
MUCH
SHIT!!!
And so,
They've turned around to the avaricious, selfish, dyed hair, old FAT PIGS how rule them like slavemasters and are saying
STICK IT UP YOU FUCKING ARSE WITH SPIKES ON!!!
WE ARE WHAT'S NEW AND FRESH AND EXCITING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY!!!!
YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF SCUMMY OLD DUSTY PARASITIC CUNTS!!!
How can you not LOVE that...?
Finally...
Get your laughing gear around what i found in the gutter of the road that sits bewteen the old yuppie flat and the office...?
Is peace a fake white dove in the gutter..?
Or
Will the old bird ever fly..?
Whichever...
I'll be exploring how well it does against
MY OFFICIAL YELLOW TANK!!!!
Very very soon...

February 3rd, 2011
The problem Big O has had since getting the Pressies job is you can't be a liberal whilst running a global SUPERPOWER!!!
No boss, the reason I ROUNDLY ridicule Barrack at every available opportunity is for this
ONE
straightforward
reason...
When you have hundreds of thosands of troops scattered around the world involved in imperialistic conflicts designed to open markets, source supplies and gain influence favourable to your own country...
YOU CAN'T PRETEND TO BE A LIBERAL FREEDOM LOVING NICE GUY!!!
IT'S BULLSHIT!!!
It's like being a STRICT MORAL VEGETARIAN
who owns and runs a slaghterhouse...
When you run a country that is widely understood to be THE one and only Global Superpower & Policeman
YOU CAN'T PRETEND TO BE ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS!!!
END OF FUCKING STORY!!!
The single good thing about Bush, was it was easy to see who he was...
A THICK, EASILY MANIPULATED CRETINOUS PRICK!!!
A man who nakedly showed what he was about.
Who's backers were CLEAR...
Who's agenda was CLEAR..
With Bush you knew what you were dealing with.
Then Bush went and in came Barrack on a MESSIANIC WAVE!!!
Barrack
THE SELLER OF SLOGANS!!!
THE SELLER OF NEW HOPE!!!
THE SELLER OF CHANGE!!!
The seller of a NEW American Dream...
So what's actually changed...?
So far as I can see...
FUCK ALL....
Yes boss, the armies abroad have got BIGGER and new conflicts
mostly
hidden
have started...
Guantanamo remains open for business
Meantime, each window in the world to support the kind of HOPE he's vaunted and promoted, Barrack is found to be COMPLETELY POWERLESS AND IMPOTENT!!!
Yes boss, each time there's a proper and current domestic or global issue requiring a STRONG and important liberal stance
Obama is out in the basketball court
SHOOTING HOPES!!!
An example...
Alleged wikileaker Bradley Manning remains in solitary being checked on every 5 minutes?!?!
Denied all basic dignity.
Punitively imprisoned...
For what...?
Manning is a young idealist open minded kid who's been brave enough to try and unearth some truth about how the world is really run..
The kind of kid who probably subscribed to Barracks endless inferences of a NEW DAWN in Americas hopes and role in the world...
The kind of kid who would have been at the center of the civil rights movement had he have been about in the 60s...
The kind of kid, Barrack pretends to have been and to support and stand for...
Punitive torture treatment...?
BARACK'S ON COURT?!?!
SILENCE
HIDING...
He sends out his staff and colleagues to infer Manning is a terrorist, an underminer of FREEDOM, a pox who needs to be locked up forever...
Take it back further...
When the wikileaks cables were initially breaking in December, we saw nothing of Barrack at all...
Instead of coming out and explaining how and why it's necesary for things to be kept secret - he sent out Clinton or Gates to take the flack and he himself
HID...
And the reason he hid...?
Perhaps because if he went up against Assange
1 on 1
or even indirectly from a distance
it would be all too very clear to all as to who the
REAL
Barrack Obama
is...
Sure Big O can and does rouse and ramble about issues long past their sell by date..
He can talk about American Civil Rights or Native American Rights with great accuracy and incredible effect.
He can ride on the back of the success and hard work of movements from days gone by..
But the HERE AND NOW???
Take Egypt...
Egypt is an ally of The US.
Barrack has inherited this state of affairs from previous governments
And so he can't be dropping it too easily...
But in his years in power to date, he could perhaps have done something to try and reign the MOOOOOO into change
before
this
FUCKING MESS!!!
But no...
'Obama himself has been highly supportive of Mubarak. It’s worth remembering that on his way to that famous speech in Cairo, which was supposed to be a conciliatory speech towards the Arab world, he was asked by the press—I think it was the BBC—whether he was going to say anything about what they called Mubarak’s authoritarian government. And Obama said, no, he wouldn’t. He said,
"I don’t like to use labels for folks. Mubarak is a good man. He has done good things. He has maintained stability. We will continue to support him. He is a friend."
And
NOW THE MESS IS RAMPANT???
Barrack - BEING A lover of FREEDOM AND NON VIOLENT PROTEST TO EFFECT CHANGE!!! could perhaps be on TV 3 times a day, making it clear that the has nothing but contempt for MOOOOOOOOOOBARRACK!!!
That though he couldn't say it in person (until now), he's ALWAYS thought The Moooooo is a CUNT!!!
That he backs the kids trying to build a better world...
He could be cutting military aid...?
He could be calling for sanctions...?
RABBLE ROUSING FOR CHANGE?!!?
But where's Barrack...?
At the end of Wednsday 2nd of Feb - a day of horrific state sponsored thugery
He was out on court...
Nothing to say...
His own journalists getting beaten
SILENCE
Horrific, brutal streetfighting scenes
SILENCE...
SHOCKING....
As for his son
MOOOOOOO
Barack...?
I can't help but think that if Moooo could have kept calm for maybe 1 or 2 more days or weeks, and he might have survived with a tiny ammount of dignity...
Until Feb 2nd, it's looked like he was kettling...
That he was going to hold things as they were and wait for the demonstrators to get borred, and start to drift away...
Loose their energy and focus...
Then MAYBE
just
MAYBE...
He could have prevarocated for a while, tortured and beaten for a while longer, and perhaps held power until an earlier than September election at which point he could have slithered away...
But he couldn't wait...
And his supporters haven't been able to help but demonstrate just exactly
WHO
and
WHAT
savage fucks they are...
Yes boss, yesterday and today The MOOOOOO has proved almost everything people have negatively said of him to date...
PRIMITIVE CYNICAL THUG RULE...
Horrible...
But then with
MOOOOOOO
Barrack...
You do at least know who and what you're dealing with...

Keeping on about wine...
Yesterday I asserted that the 'fact' that one wine
is
considered
to be better than another
isn't in any way 'factual'
It's only ever opinion...
Yes boss,
people who drink lots of wine
DAY IN DAY OUT
SAY
one wine is better than another
THAT'S ALL
Well, to me it's very possible to say that
Those who continually drink wine, shouldn't be the ones doing the judging of what is good and isn't...
I maintain that such peoples pallets are so drenched and deluded and hungry for change that they sometimes don't see the
wood
for the
trees..
Here's an annecdote as to HOW and why that might be the case...
Towards the end of the tasting yesterday
one of the tasters noticed that one of the bottles of wine was 'corked' and told the person behind the table that it should be removed...
Yes boss, until recently the only thing I knew about 'corked' bottles was the time the guy in Fawlty Towers had to explain to Basil Fawlty that a bottle was 'corked' in the episode about the Hotel Inspectors...
'The wine has reacted with the cork'
I didn't know what that tasted like and even doubted it to be real until someone pointed out that one of our bottles of Rose was corked at last years Taste Of London
I looked at the woman, figured she knew NOTHING, pictured the scene in Fawlty Towers and tasted the bottle...
It tasted of cork...
'I seee....'
So yesterday, this person noticed the corked bottle at the Tasting...
Well...
There was about 2 fingers of it left...
Which meant that between 20 and 30 WINE EXPERTS, DEALERS, JOURNALISTS and HANGERS ON had taken a sample of it and either declined to mention to anyone that the bottle was corked...
OR
HAD SIMPLY NOT NOTICED IT WAS CORKED!?!?
Errrrr....
DING DONG!!!

February 1st, 2011
I've been in the wine business for about a year
and seen it
before then...
And I still don't quite get it...
No boss,
I adore wine
and I wonder at the incredible variety and dedication of those who produce it...
But the whole culture that surrounds it is
very
VERY
odd...
Yes boss,
today I was at the Annual Bancroft Portfolio Wine Tasting at the Westbury Hotel just off Bond Street in Mayfair.
These kind of gigs are something to beh-odddd...
In this case there were 220 different bottles of wine on offer for tasting...
The cheapest (at trade price exc VAT) was £4.75 and the most expensive was £70.20 (at trade price exc VAT)
So, AT LEAST double that if you're buying it off the Off Licence shelf
And TREBBLE it if you're drinking in a restaurant
The idea at these tastings is that you taste and
SPITTTTT!!!
and talk
and network
You are a dealer, or journalist, a distributor, a retailer or a hanger on and you taste the wine
SQUEEZE IT ABOUT IN YOUR MOUTH
sniff it
look cleverly at its colour
PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT IN THE FUCK YOU ARE THEIR FOR!!!
and make notes...
You have a FREE lunch of top end cheese and ham and bread
and you take a glasss
poured for you
most of the time
nearly always 4 times as much as you need to taste it...
You take it into your mouth
and suck and squizzle it...
Then most people
SPITTTTTTT IT!!!
and pour the rest away...
Some people
PROJECTILE SPITTTTTT!!!!
Yes boss, THEY PISS THE TOP QUALITY PLONK
out of their mouths like it's a fucking water feature...?!?!?
It's a very easy thing to get into...
You get on a certain network
and you're
WELCOMED!!!
every time with open glasses
By God, today I was called 'SIR!!!'
5 times inbetween the first door of The Westbury Hotel
and the
Tasting Room...?!!?
'GODDAMIT I'M IMPORTANT!!!!' I thought...
'I'M AT A WINE TASTING JUST OFF BOND STREET AND PEOPLE KEEP CALLING ME SIR!!!'
But this is the thing I find hard with wine
this idea of VALUE...
Yes boss, we import a wine for 2.20 euros that once we've paid tax on we can sell for about £5 a bottle + VAT at trade price...
It's a very easy, nice quality clean and easy young pleasant red wine...
And I would bet that if you put it in most peoples shopping, they'd prefer it to the
£70.20 (EXC VAT Trade price)
wine I tried today
that smelt of rotten eggs...
But because this £70.20 (EXC VAT trade price) wine has been hand picked by virgins
then storred in Mongolian Oak for 15 years
rubbed by craftsmen
MASTERED BY THE OLD
and
sold by a good dealer
It's said to be the better, more expensive wine...
even though it smells
BAD!!!!
and doesn't taste any better on my naive pallet????
Yes boss, maybe there's some extra costs in production of the £70.20 bottle
The grapes are hand selected and from older vines...
It's stored for longer
Maybe it works well with certain foods.
Maybe it's got good lineage and the estate it's grown on is owned by some BIGWIG
But it actually being better is only ever a question of 'taste'
And 'taste' has nothing at all to do with facts
'Taste' is only ever about opinion
It's just that some people in places of power in the wine business 'SAY' it's better..?
I don't get it...!?!?

January 31st, 2011
I can't remember my 31st brithday...
Since my 30th
and in fact before it
I've paid very little attention to birthdays
mine
or others (except my daughters)...
So...
NEVER EXPECT A CARD!!!
Anyway...
Todays is another itsy bitsy blog...
I'd like to start by expressing my
FUITLE RAGE!!!
at the inability of the 3 Network to provide me with an adequate internet in the daytime...
It's particularly SHIT between 11 and 2pm
It used to be close to perfect
WAY BETTER than I though possible from a mobile broadband
I then realised the transmiter was a mere 50 crow flying yards from me...
Then it got
CRAP!!!
But you know what happened today..?
I'D HAD ENOUGH!!!
And so I put 'O2' into google, so that when the 333333333winternet worked I could look at an alternative provider...
and since then it's been the best for more than a week?!?!
Tomorrow
I'm going wine tasting at The Westbury Hotel in Mayfair
Yes boss, it's set to be another HARD DAY in the office for Giovanni!!!
There's more than 100 wines to be tasted
I will of course do my best to get
THROUGH THEM ALL!!!
In other news...
Today
I realised I'm very fond of
Jack Nicholson
I've never seen him do a bad performance
'Five Easy Pieces'
is one of my favourite films
He's WONDERFUL
in that..
I also like the fact he's a hedonist
who knows when to stop...
EGYPT NEWS!!!
This new Vice President really is a HORRIBLE CUNT!!!
The way he's being portrayed as being some kind of a warm and gentle moderate STAND UP guy who COULD take over and be an improvement on MOOOOOOOOOOBARKBARKWOOFWOOF!!!!
IS FUCKING CRAZY!!!
Yes boss, next time you think I'm a nasty fuck for lambasting PEACENIK LIBERAL Obama as I often do
remember that the folk who
PULL HIS STRINGS
are happy arming and supplying people like this...
'Shortly after 9/11, Australian citizen, Mamdouh Habib, was captured by Pakistani security forces and, under US pressure, tortured by Pakistanis. He was then rendered (with an Australian diplomats watching) by CIA operatives to Egypt, a not uncommon practice. In Egypt, Habib merited Suleiman’s personal attention. As related by Richard Neville, based on Habib’s memoir:
Habib was interrogated by the country’s Intelligence Director, General Omar Suleiman…. Suleiman took a personal interest in anyone suspected of links with Al Qaeda. As Habib had visited Afghanistan shortly before 9/11, he was under suspicion. Habib was repeatedly zapped with high-voltage electricity, immersed in water up to his nostrils, beaten, his fingers were broken and he was hung from metal hooks.
That treatment wasn’t enough for Suleiman, so:
To loosen Habib’s tongue, Suleiman ordered a guard to murder a gruesomely shackled Turkistan prisoner in front of Habib – and he did, with a vicious karate kick.
After Suleiman’s men extracted Habib’s confession, he was transferred back to US custody, where he eventually was imprisoned at Guantanamo. His “confession” was then used as evidence in his Guantanamo trial.'
That said...
I'm very fond of Tony Soprano...

January 30th, 2011
30???
My 30th birthday was amongst the worst I've had...
Yes boss, my 30s have been more or less
COMPLETE AND PURE JOY!!
But the brithday itself was pure
BOLLOX!!!
Strangely, I've found more or less every 'significant birthday' to be a
COMPLETE FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!
18,21 & 30
ALL CRAP!!!
Today was OK even though it was complicated...
I was on a childcare tip for most of it.
I went to the swings, bought electricity, watched Pepa Pig, cooked pasta, went chasing after money from the strange people in Hackne- NO!!! VICTORIA PARK VILLAGE!!!
And then went to Hackney to pick up a kids Dyson...
THAT
was something of an ordeal - but not one I hated...
Yes boss, I now have a strained relationship with the number 276 bus...
The 276 is the 'Tour De PoorAreas' bus
It starts at Newham General Hospital, comes through East Ham (West Hams poor neighbour AND WEST HAM AIN'T CHELSEA!!!), then Stratford, Bow, Hackneys
Wick,
Central
&
Downs
and
HOMERTON
which includes the rather elite and much desired district know as
'MURDER MILE'
before ending up in the somewhat more nouveau posh Stoke Newington...
Yes boss, the 276 is a proper journey...
filled with faces
and characters
and strangeuns
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE!!
Generally speaking I LOVE this bus route for all those reasons...
But yesterday my daughter and I had to wait 40 minutes for a bus...
And today
A WHOLE FUCKING HOUR!!!
So in a HUFF!!! I'm gonna have a few days off...
In other news...
The Egyptian thing continues to evolve...
My gut feeling is it's gonna fail in achieving the immediate overthrow of MOOOOOOOOOOBARAK...
Yes boss, there's too much at stake for America and it's America who are calling the shots on this one....
Man Of Peace Obama AKA The Grand Puppet is in no position to have yet ANOTHER random Middle Eastern state not whistling his tune...
PORPER AND FREE DEMOCRACY IS THE LAST THING HE NEEDS!!!
It'll mean instability and infighting and KAOS!!!
and
Obama
likes none of this...
Meantime IMPORTED Al Barry is too ridiculous and lightweight to run a country so strategically important and turbulent...
He couldn't even organise a fucking sound system for his speech?!?!
I'VE BEEN TO MANY DEMOS WITH SOUND SYSTEMS!!!
IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD?!?!
Especially when you're have 6 FUCKING DAYS TO LOOT ONE!!!???
I worry...
MOOOOOO0000000ooooooooOOOOOOOBOLLOCK
still has the police,
the military
and the scummy cheap US on his side...
My guess is they're gonna wear down the protests by tolerating them...
Same principle as
'kettling'
Let them do their thing
but control it...
It'll wane...
MOOOOO
will go,
but over a long period
6-9 months
to a successor of The US's choice
I hope I'm wrong...

January 29th, 2011
IT'S A BITS AND PIECES BLOGDAY!!!
Firstly, my MAIN subject of the moment...
THE POLITICS OF REVOLUTIONARY EGYPT!!!
Yes boss, I have lived in the UK for the vast majority of my puff, and have never been to Egypt.
Neither to I have any interest in going there
Or even learning too very much about it's reality..
But this last 24 hours or so, I've found that like so many others, I HAVE BECOME A COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXPERT ON EGYPTS LIFE TIMES, REVOLUTION AND POLITICS!!!
I know WHO'S pulling the strings and
where they got them...
I KNOW about THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I KNOW about global geo-politics...
I KNOW ABOUT DRACULA!!!
When in fact I know
more or less nothing...
other than that Egypt have Pyramids and a rather important canal...
I also know that I like to see good rioting and regime change that has no leader and is PROPER FULL ON AND HARDCORE!!!
IT'S GREAT TO WATCH!!!
Especially good when it involves states and nations who have BIG strategic power....
PROPER GOOD DISASTER PORN WITH AN UPLIFTING
real
'YES WE CAN!!!'
EDGE!!!
In other news...
Yesterday, I saw the cats penis for the first time...
Yes boss, I have for a while doubted that the 3 month old cat named either Micio Miow or Friend (to be confirmed) was even a boy...
He seemed to have 2 long rows of nipples that looked to me to be very VERY girly...
Then yesterday, I saw him cleaning himself and noticed this
little
red
thing
poking out of his fur...
He was gently
and
lovingly
licking it...
'IS THAT HIS COCK!!?!!?!'
I thought...
He kept on gently licking it, wearing an incredibly delicate and thoughtful face...
'COME LOOK AT THIS!!!'
I EXCLAIMED
'THE CAT HAS A COCK AND HE'S GENTLY LICKING IT WITH A LOOK OF ABSOLUTE AND COMPLETE BLISS!!!'
Lastly...
I am now at war with the landlords of the @harmonicande office/studio/temporary PG£ base..
Yes boss, I like peace as much as Obama, but what I don't like is the lights in the friggin toilet not working AT ALL for months on FUCKING end...
I also don't like people who steal my or my publicists money
then pretend they lost it
but have MIRACULOUSLY FOUDN IT AGAIN!!!
And so I'm involved in a propaganda war that has in it's infancy already provoked door to door enquiries???
It could be a long battle
BUT SO HELP ME GOD I WILL PREVAIL!!!

January 28th, 2011
RIGHT THEN!!!
SOME WORDS!!!
I was just discussing the idea of the internet being turned off on Twitter...
Apparently Mubarak has had Egypt turn it's off, so as to prevent RABBLE ROUSING!!!
Maybe that's not such a bad thing..?!?
People will have to start talking to one another directly and in a revolution that could help?!?
It'll also mean people can't have any excuse not to get out and riot..
There can be no
'I'LL COME OUT AND RIOT JUST AS SOON AS I'VE CAUGHT UP WITH THE GILBERT & GEORGE EXPISODE OF THE ONE SHOW ON THE IPLAYER!!!'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/bbc_one/20110126
In all honesty, I have no idea what's really behind this recent spate of Arab dissent?!!?
Seems in general to be that people have had too much of the SAME OLD SHIT!!!
That the fat belidgerant pricks who run these countries have pushed the boat out a little too far...
The people ARE TIRED OF THEIR RELENTLESS SELFISH EGO GUFF!!!
But things still mystify me...!?!?
On the one hand everyone is saying it's all about poverty and social justice - that large percentages of people are below the poverty line in Egypt and Tunissia, that unemployment is high etc etc...
But at the same time these riots are said to be being organised and manipulated by the internet?!!?
To such a degree that Mubarak has had it turned off..
Are we to assume that poor people are buying computers ahead of food...!?!?
Is that good...?
In the long term is a computer really going to produce GREATER salvation than a sack of rice?!?!?
And another thing...
IS DEMOCRACY REALLY ANY BETTER THAN DICTATORSHIP?!?!
Aren't Democratic Politicians really just the same beasts at Dictators?!?!
Has Tony Bliar ever been accountable?!?!
A million people marched against invading Iraq
they were ignored...
Tens of thousands demonstrated against the recent changes to Student Fees
They were portrayed, by those in power & their sycophantic media as being
VIOLENT MALEVOLENT THUGS!!!
and then ignored...
Sound faniliar..?
Don't get me wrong...
I fully support anyone who wants to bring any kind of government down..
IN FACT I'M IN FAVOUR OF IT HAPPENING AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!!!
That Italy has had more changes in the job of Prime Minister in the last 50 years than Berlusconi has had underage prostitutes in the last calendar year is a GOOD thing...
It's just that I have pretty serious qualms about the much feted roll of the internet in changing the world for the better...
As far as I can see the inernet is like TV
BUT WORSE!!!
Yes boss, Is it really an advance for people to sit in glued to their fucking laptops, PEDs & ipads?!?!
TV is pretty ignorable - the internet isn't...
It's a constant drip drip drip feed of meaningless and mostly banal information
That it's interactive makes it all the more addictive and compulsive...
Shouldn't people be out HAVING REAL FUN?!?!?
Meeting REAL people..?!?
Having more REAL HUMAN lives?!?!?
Is that not FREEDOM???
Does it really matter that you can (on paper) look at more or less anything you want on the internet - that you're not forced into watching any one version of events..?!?
Is it not the case that the vast majority of people look at the internet with the same blinkers as they look at anything else..?!!?
Lefties look at lefty sights and criticise right sites.
Righties look at righty sights and criticise lefty sites.
Sure the internet is still largely speaking a HUGE AND UNCHARTERED VASTNESS!!!
But then so was America
and look at the twisted, imperious, vicious mess of it now...
For me, the rise of the internet seems to be the rise of a Cowed New World that makes people easier manipulated and easier controlled...
At the moment it has the appearance of being groovy and liberating - but all told that's BOLLOCKS!!!
It's a fucking curse FOR ALL so far as I can see...
I like it though...

LIGHTS IN THE TOILETS
PLEASE
????
25
January 25th, 2011
Todaysa gonna be a long one...
Yes boss, I've only been OFFICIALLY out of the employ of Tesco for a coupla days and already the benefits and opportunities are opening up...
I say opening up - I mean, I'm SCRABBLING AWAY LIKE A CROCKED UP WILDEBEAST TRYING TO FIND SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITIES TO OPEN THE FUCK UP QUICK SHARP BEFORE MY WHOLE WORLD CORRODES TO NOTHING!!!
Yes boss, if I have one guilty pleasure in political discourse it was when Lord Tebbit advised those without jobs and opportunities to
'GET ON THEIR BIKE!!!'
In all honesty
I never saw what the BIG deal on that one was...
Yes boss, more or less anyone who's done anything interesting in life who's come from a 'UNDERPRIVILEDGED' background has only done it by way of 'GETTING ON THEIR FUCKING BIKES!!!' and finding some opportunities and things to do...
Unless you're rich at birth, my experience is that you don't get nothing if you don't GET THE FUCK ON YOUR FUCKING BIKE and ride a little...
Only lottery winners have fortunes fall into their laps
and you know the odds on that...
For me, Titbits OUTRAGE was a pretty good piece of advice.
Perhaps a bit patronising coming from a cunt who might not have struggled so much himself (I don't know much about tittybeebees background - but I'd imagine he's not been poor) but good advice none the less...
Anyway...
The first thing I've set about is clearing out some of the vast VAST quantites of the PG£ archive that aren't core to it...
Yes boss, I'm an horrendous hoarder of all things book, record, cd and memorabilia like...
That I say I'm a dealer in such things hasn't recently so much meant a buyer and seller as just a buyer, finder and hoarder...
Well
this is changing and so I'm once again, like Early Spencer, becoming a seller of things peripheral to the collection...
I'll be putting up a few hundred items on ebay and respicing paulgiovanni.coms shopping area...
What I have on ebay can be found by clicking HERE
If you buy something and tell me you LOVE EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WRITTEN!!!
or
ADMIRE AND LOVE MY PHOTOS!!!
I will most likely give you extra FREE stuff
SO...
BUY SHIT AND BE NICE!!!
CARROT AND STICK!!!
INNIT!!!
The second thing to have dropped in my lap is a little more stimulating than FIGHTING with a wierd internet sales device...
Yes boss, those who have been in knowledge of my business for a while will know that in the past I have engaged with the murky and dishonest world of medical trials...
Medical trials are wierd - but then so am I, and so i fit them pretty well...
I like to think of them as being rehab - a time for calm reflection, when I'm forced to curb my excesses and lie in a bed for 16 or 20 days and be waited upon by nurses...
Well...
Today i got a call from Hammersmith Medicines Research.
I did a few trials with HMR 3 or 4 years ago, and seeing a bleak horizon ahead, I emailed them before xmas to see what they had...?
Today they called me back...
I chatted with a very polite lady called Rowena and one particular opportunity STOOD UP!!!
Here follows the email that details it...
Dear Paul
I am e-mailing following our telephone conversation today regarding taking part in medical trial 10-019 regarding a potential new treatment for pain.
The study medication is for treating neuropathic pain, which is pain caused by damage to the nerves. Popular painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, have little or no affect on neuropathic pain. The recreational drug cannabis can relieve pain, but has many unwanted side effects. There are natural substances in the body that are similar to cannabis, which can also relieve pain. We hope that the study medication will work by increasing the level of one of those natural pain-relieving substances, without the side effects linked to cannabis use.
We will be looking at what the side effects are when taken by mouth, how much gets into the bloodstream and how quickly the body gets rid of it, and what the effects are on the levels of naturally occurring cannabis-like substance, and related substances.
This trial is the first to be tested in man, although having undergone many tests, in animals it has made changes to the testes and low sperm count. The dose of the study medication in this trial is 40 times lower than the dose that saw any change, where no changes occurred. Therefore on this trial they will be asking for semen samples to be produced to keep careful monitoring, your sperm count will be measured at screening and at the end of the trial. It is very unlikely that any damage or change will occur after 2 doses of study medication. The study medication might cause similar effects to those of cannabis: feeling high, sleepiness, dizziness, clumsiness, changes in blood pressure, flushing, vomiting or abdominal pain. We’ll monitor you very closely.
Your screening is on Wednesday 23rd February 2011 at 11.00am.
I have enclosed details of where we are now!
Please bring with you your passport and proof of your national insurance number.
You will need to fast for 10 hours before, and having not had any alcohol, caffeine, grapefruit or other citrus fruit, or anything containing poppy seeds for 24 hours before screening. You may want to have a late dinner the night before – as that is a long time not to eat.
No strenuous physical activity from 24 hours before screening.
And abstaining from ejaculation 4 days before the screening.
You are welcome to bring in any magazine material you may wish to aid you in producing the semen sample (we will not provide any). You will be asked to provide the sample in a discrete environment, to place the sample in a pot and we’ll provide a dark sample plastic bag where no one will be able to see the contents of the pot until it arrives to the lab.
Please call us if there are any problems 0800 EASYLIFE, you can leave a message anytime, but we are here to answer Monday – Friday 08.00 -15.30.
Many thanks for your interest
Rowena
So...
Provided I pass the screening, and complete the trial...
I'll be getting paid almost £2000 to lounge around in a bed for 12 days, NOT do exercise, whilst being waited upon by nurses, whilst having a wank once in a while in the name of medical research, whilst experiencing symptoms possibly similar to cannabis...?!?!
Errrr...
SIGN ME UP!!!

January 24th, 2011
SMUG CUNT ALERT!!!
24 days in says it's time for the 1st VERBATIM repost of an older work...
Yes boss, I've had a long day fighting with a shitty internet connection, and personal strife, and so I'm going to be lazy and post something of old...
VERY OLD!!!
Yes boss, this goes back to when I only travelled with a typewriter - the only computer I had was a basic word processor that I left at my mum and dads because I couldn't be arsed to hoik it about when I moved every 6 months or so AND I HATED COMPUTERS!!!
This piece was written in 1995 and it was published in my 2 issue fanzine called Toolbox...
Toolbox was short lived...
though I put in a hell of a lot of work into it...
It was supposed to be a RADICAL anarachist magazine with a sense of fun - something I felt was lacking in most RADICAL ANARCHIST magazines of that time - and most times...
Being retarded and shy, I made no serious effort to distribute Toolbox
and so each issue was about
12 copies BIG!!!
copied and pasted by hand,
moonlighted on the photocopier of whichever job I had at the time...
This the 2nd edition, was done on the photocopier at Brathay Hall in Clappersgate, Cumbria.
I worked at Brathay for 6 months, and because I was stonned and/or drunk, I was incapabale of getting out of bed early to start at 7am as per most of the domestic staff, I was therefore very often given the shifts that started at 1pm or 3pm...
I soon worked out that I could easily waste an hour of my 1 or 3pm start by talking quickly to my supervisor Denise about whatever came into my head...
She seemed to enjoy the chat and so I winged it as far as I could...
And in the end I found it hard to even get up on time for the 1 or 3pm shifts...
Anyway...
2 years before he got into power, here's my badly written, but OK accurate thoughts on why Tony Bliar WAS BAD NEWS!!!
It's not all correct - I completely missed that GREEN ECO WANK was to become the NEW BLACK!!!
But overall, I think I got Bliar pretty good for a 20 year old kid...
(click the pictures to read in BIG!!!)
23
January 23rd, 2011
Yesterday was a funny one...
Having decided on a late night impulse to contradict myself COMPLETELY and leave Tescos employ with immediate effect, the first thing I needed to do was explain myself to the immediate family...
This was easier than I thought it might be...
Yes boss, as per usual, I made some GRAND speech about how it was WITHOUT QUESTION!!! the only option. That it was the BEST option, that no OTHER option could POSSIBLY be possible!!! That no-one would starve!!! That I would sort out some money, that money doesn't REALLY mean that much anyway?!?! That I have some money coming from paypal 3 weeks before the end of the world. That i might be rich SOONER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK!!!
I WAS SPEECHIUS MAXIMUS!!!
TONY BLIAR WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD!!!
PG£: One thing is for sure (i continued)...
TFMG: I'll have a place in paradise - that's one thing for sure! How many virgin boys do I get for putting up with this..? No, no, no virgin boys for me. I don't want them. I don't like them....
PG£: You already have one
TFMG: Errmmmmmm
Next up, I realised I needed to HOT FOOT it to another branch of Tescos so as to not only MAX out my staff discount card before it's cancelled on food, but to buy in the beer for the next event at the L-13 Gallery...
Yes boss, our wine company Harmonicande curently supply the beer and beer for the L-13s do's...
The L-13 is the home of some of the finest gentlemen and lady artists currently working including
Harry Adams, Billy Childish, James Marshall Cauty, Sexton Ming, Geraldine Swayne, Mark Manning & Jamie Reid...
Between them, they've been responsible for some of the finest moments in recent pop culture history...
The cover of the Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks, The KLF (BIGGEST SELLING WORLDWIDE POP ACT OF 1992), who then burnt a MILLION QUID of the procedes, 100s of music, The Fish island Prophecies, Dirty Pictures, Dead Kennedys artwork, 1000s of paintings, drawings and sketches...
Well...
We only sell wine, and so to offer MAXIMUM CONVENIENCE on this job, I source out good beer deals mostly by way of Tescos and my discount card...
Yes boss, somewhat remarkably, in the run up to Xmas, Tescos beer deals were aroundabout 30% better than Majestics wholesale deals - which made it easy...
But if I'm no longer and employee..?!?!
NO DISCOUNT CARD?!?
And it's no longer xmas?!!?
NO CHEAP DEALS?!?!
AND WE NEED SIMILAR PRICED BEER FOR THIS THURSDAYS BOOK LAUNCH?!?!
I suggested, TFMG got us a streetcar and drove to Beckton TESCO 24 HOUR HUGE MEGASTORE!!!
Yes boss, I can't go back to the store that formerly employed me for fear of being ridiculed as being A FUCKING LIGHTWEIGHT!!! by the checkout ladies
and besides a change is sometimes good...
Now...
Upon first entry, a Tescos HUGE MEGASTORE appears to be HEAVEN!!!
Yes boss, within minutes I saw the BIGGEST range of everything possible for homebrewing I've seen anywhere outside of a self dedicated Home Brew shop...!?!?
IT WAS ENCHANTING!!!
But then...
when you're in the 14th aisle of a shop world of infinite possibilities
you realise that everything is
in
front
of
you...
butyoudon'tknowwhatyouwant..?!?!
You find yourself drifting aimlessly...
dazed...
Well...
The beer deals were pretty fucking awful, but I pieced together the order, which is essentially 190 bottles of Stella & Becks, wandered around more aimlessly than before and finally came to check out...
I left the beer in the trolley, and handed up the first case to be scanned...
The lady at the till, looked me over...
'Are you 18 or over..?'
'Sorry..?'
'Are you 18 or over..?'
I smiled BROADLY!!! back at TFMG
'She's asking if I'm over 18..???'
'Are you...are you together..?' Mrs Till was looking at 2 year old Emma and TFMG
'Errr...'
'OK...'
And that was that...
22
January 22nd, 2011
You know what...?
In the very early hours of this morning, whilst listening to music I made almost 10 years ago, I managed to
'work up sufficient early morning resistance'
that meant i didn't go to bed in anything like enough time to get up and walk
The Sacred Aisles Of Tescos...
No boss, I awoke fully clothed at 6.25am and realised there was no way I was going back walking them holy, down to earth Sacred Aisles...
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Yes boss, not the first time in my life, I've deicded to throw all commonsense TO THE WALL!!!
And
quit
with immediate effect my lovely soothing job...
The fact of the matter
is
that 2 weeks away has been too longggggggggggggggggggggggg...
I've remembered the joy of having much more control over the day without thinking about picking up other peoples shopping in the early hours of 5 days out of 7...
It's been a good job that dug me from a hole...
But in the same way that Tescos wouldn't think twice about disposing of me just as soon as they could to suit them, I have no guilt about disposing of them in the very same circumstances...
And do you know what..?
Reading last nights blog back, I see a CLEAR AND COMPLETE attempt to brainwash myself into believeing I want to go back, when what I really want to do is focus my FULL and COMPLETE attention on writing, taking pictures and selling wine...
So....
It's a BRAVE new dawn here on Fish Island...
No Scared Aisles, a bit more sleep, much writing to do and a book to sell, some pictures to work out the fuck what to do with, and much very good quality wine to sell and drink...
A good clear out of the excess PG£ archive and a launch of the PG£ merchant site will see me right for a month or so, then it's either a good spin on the luck wheel...
a medical trial
AKA
rehab
@harmonicande PAYING me
or another part time job...
I feel slightly TERRRIFIED!!!
But life is too short for TERROR!!!
21
January 21st, 2011
Well...
It's been a good 2 weeks of gallabanting, but tomorrow - unless I can work up sufficient early morning resistance, it'll be back to The Sacred Aisles Of Tescos for a few weeks at least...
Yes boss, I had hoped to have engineered myself a full and comprehensive financial leaving package in time for NOW!!!
But I ain't quite managed it yet...
No boss, one of the perils of having kids is THEY manage your silly stupid time...
And so, whereas pre-toddler I coulda waltzed out of The Aisles more or less anytime I fancied...
Now I have to be considered, and rational, and ensure there is enough money to keep my baby in nappies and nish nosh and the cat in cat food...
Well, I don't HAVE to, I could not bother...
But then Mrs Giovanni will FUCK OFF PROPERLY!!! with Emma and chop off my visiting rights..
And nobody wants that...
So...
Instead of leaving jobs impulsively, these days, my silly time revolves around watching this video....
Yes boss, this has been watched more than 20 million times - 18 million of those is Emma and me/her mum/her mums sister etc
When I watch it, I like to make enthusiastic and idiotic
BAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
BAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! noises instead of QUICK MARCHING!!! out of jobs as and when I please...
Yes boss, I REALLY like the
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! on it.
It's my version of PRIMAL SCREAMING!!!
It's almost as good as the
EEEEEEEHHHHHH EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!!!!
noise on the Fisher Price bus...
I also like whatever the fuck comes out of the hands of the 'little boy who lives down the lane...'
Kids change the agenda...
Well...
One thing that helped my head prepare for this imminent short term re-entry to The Sacred Aisles before making a dignified and proper retreat (in a month or 2s time) was going to this Off Licence in Victoria Park Village this evening...
Yes boss, I don't mean to be a hypocritical cunt, but Victoria Park Village or Hackney Village as it called itself until recently is one the most amusing places in London...
Amusing..?
Yes boss, AMUSING!!!
For one, Hackn-NO!!! Victoria Park Village is NOT A FUCKING VILLAGE!!! IT'S A SMALL AREA OF HACKNEY POPULATED BY YUMMY NEW MEDIA MUMMIES!
Yes boss, we're talking a small area of LARGE townhouses that young clever groovies bought up for peanuts in the 1980s that sit on the mid northern side of Victoria Park.
These houses, like much of Stoke Newington, provide homes for Shoreditch Twats and Brick Lanies when they have kids AND/OR burn themseleves out with too much partying...
They get a buggy and rent flats off THE LORDS OF THE FUCKING MANOR!!! for 3 times their original purchase price and they pretend to be cultured and know about food and wine...
Snotty, snobby NEW MEDIA types who think the way to enlightenment is to EARN SHITLOADS OF YUMMY MONEY!!!
then throw a few crumbs to ENROMOUS AND GREAT FANFARE on some sponsored cycle ride whilst dressed as a PIG!!!
I generalise - but not by much...
I DON'T FUCKING LIKE THE PLACE!!!
The only shop I like (apart from the shooty pooty Off Licence which now stocks some of our wines) in Hackne-NO!!! Victoria Park Village is one of the newsagents...
In London you get all manner of newsagents fulfilling all kinds of functions in and around what a newsagents is...
A good one is one that ALWAYS provides the services/goods you need...
If you need Top Up - IT'S GOT IT!!!
If you need Oyster - IT'S GOT IT!!!
If you need a pair of nail scissors - IT'S GOT IT!!!
Yes boss, I often find our Muslim brothers a little tardy and disrespectful in their recognition of my existance in this GREAT city, but the folk who run this place are very happy hooded angels indeed...
THEY ALWAYS SMILE!!!
But that shop is an exception...
Most of the shops,cafes and gastro pubs there DO MY FUCKING HEAD IN!!!
Yes boss, there's a pub there called The Lauriston.
It has a brick built wood oven for pizzas and has clever beers and fancy dancy wine (not ours - YET!!!)
And you know what...?
The first time I went in, there was a notice on the door saying in GREAT detail, how baseball caps weren't allowed and how anyone wearing Burberry in a chavvy kinda way...
IS BARRED!!!
SERIOUSLY!!!
It was like a sign saying
NO BLACKS, NO IRISH AND NO DOGS!!!
All the more OUTFUCKINGRAGEOUS because the Burberry factory is based just up the road and is and has been a BIG local employer for a good long time...
And my point...?
Well...
Spending an hour or so in Hack-NO!!! VICTORIA PARK VILLAGE!!! made me hanker after the eternally oppressed but always pleasant and all together more REAL housewives of Bromley By Bow Tescos...
Yes boss, since spending £25 in the fancy butchers, and another £14 in the fishmongers I've found myself looking forward to seeing the squalid, shitty, filthy fucking boxes used for all of East Londons online orders...
I WANT TO SEE THE CHEAP AND SCABBY TESCOS MEAT!!!
I NEEEEEEEEED TO SEE THE STUPIDLY DYED FISH!!!
I want to once again hear the INCREDIBLE deep, deranged and heartfelt cackles of the ladies who run the DIY checkouts...
I want to get up 4 hours before I've gone to bed and drunkenly stagger around the shop floor listening to the tapes of my adventures in Madrid and persuade myself
I AM VERY FUCKING REAL AND DOWN TO EARTH!!!
So there...

January 19th, 2011
YES!!!
TODAY!!!
The Australian Annual Wine Tasting @ The Saacccerinnnniii Gallery, Chelsea...
NOTES:
- IT WAS INSIDE THE GALLERIES!!!
- Yes boss, I was figuring they had a conference room out back...
- BUT NO!!!
- The whole Saatchi art collection was the backdrop for the wine tasting....
wierd...
- All galleries full of wine...
- Limitless tasting...
- Tame crappy commercial art
- COMPLETELY FUCKING IGNORABLE!!!
Said it all about what the Saatchi collection is...
A meaningless for yet another commercial event...
PAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPP!!!
Yes boss, only one bunch of paintings ever caught my attention away from the person who was serving the samples...
(I don't know what they were because I didn't look - but they were messy paintings and full of horrible little faces)
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRPPPPPPPPPP!!!!
So...
I started with the 30 variations of Shiraz Free pour...
I tried the expensive ones to line the stomach then moved
onto
sparkling...
Because the crux of our business is Prosecco, I always work through the sparkling so as to be checking the opposition...
I'm wary of a New World TAKEOVER on sparkling...
Yes boss, I like to be ahead of the curve...
RED FACES
On this showing
there was nothing to be worried about..
A load of bad champagne copies, some awfulllll and nasty trying too hard sparkling reds and mostly duff roses...
I moved through a few more reds and whites - plenty of good stuff, but mostly quite BRASH!!!!
I found I was often looking for an EASY red and there were no obvious candidates...
WHITE!!!
Voigner is very fashionable and it's good - greeny in colour...
Chardonnay is unfashionable, but I find it's rarely bad...
Had one that was very VERY fruity - good, but trying to be something it wasn't...
Did a round of fortified and moscato and similar sweet desert wines...
These were the most interesting and unusual of the day...
Good desert wines are HUGELY underated...
Then back through
reds
and
whites
a good opportunity
THEN
BAGGING THE BOTTLES!!!

January 19th, 2011
HULLABALOOOO!!!
We're not even past the 23rd of January and my life is veeeeerring all over with ambition sanctified and rolling all over!!!
Yes boss,this year ahead looks lively on more or less every front I'm working in..?!!
Writing:
- BACK ON TRACK AFTER A QUIET YEAR LAST YEAR!!!
- This blog and the book I keep bumbling on about look set to play a pretty large part in things
- More than 1000 reads of the first 18 blogs
- BIG DEVELOPMENTS afoot with the book
Photography:
- I have a queue of models
- Already a tonne of photos to edit
- No idea what to do with the finished images other than post them on http://paulgiovanni3rd.tumblr.com/ and my soon to be revamped http://www.paulgiovanni.com/photos.html
Wine:
- Tricky year for the wine...
- AKA THE DIFFICULT 2ND SEASON!!!
- NEED TO SELL SELL SELL!!!
- BUT THE WEBSITE'S DOWN!!!
- AND WE'RE ALL TOO LAID BACK....
- WE CAN DRINK IT!!!
- OH BOY YES!!!
- BUT CAN WE SELL ENOUGH???
- OR GET A GOOD SALESMAN IN WHO CAN???
Tescos:
- SAINSBURYS ARE CREEPING UP ON THE REAR!!!
- MUST FILL MORE TROLLEYS QUICKER!!!
- SELL SELL SELL!!!
- BUY!!! BUY!!! BUY!!!
- TOP 5 IN THE DOT.COM RANKINGS!!!
- MUST BE!!!!
Of course, there's every likelihood either or all of these will weep and fade.
Yes boss, I've had enough years look SUPER!!!
only to
pe t e r o u t . . .
We'll see...
So, today...
(next blog - 2 birds with 1 stone GET AHEAD OF THE GAME!!!!)

January 18th, 2011
To be in the book or not..?
Having ranted yesterday that it weren't gonna be happening, it could work out that way.
Difficult thing with me being out, is gonna be having to write so much without EVER mentioning myself!??!
IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?
CAN I LOCK MY INNER GIOVANNI AWAY FOR THAT LONG???
But then, is there any need for me to be in it..?
Such questions will sort themselves out in good due course.
Right now, I have more than 23 hourse of tapes to condense into a snappy synopsis and gatecrashing proposal.
Yes boss, for my sins I've left Madrid and am now back in the UK...
Research enough done, now, I have to do the writing.
I need sample chapters - some way in...
The first chapter is decided - it'll be short, intense and either put you off completely or draw you further in with it's innocent luridity!!!
Tomorrow is however not a day for writing.
It's a day for catchup baby time in the early to mid afternoon
then
IT'S BACK TO THE SLOG!!!
Yes boss, tomorrow is the Annual Australian Wine Annual Trade Tasting at The Saatchi Gallery!!!
'Just being ‘good’ and saying ‘Australia’ on the label is no longer enough to tell the true story of Australian wine.
Ours is a hugely diverse wine community and our best wines are regionally distinct and made by people with great stories to tell. We need to share the characters and places that give our wines distinctive personalities and make them uniquely Australian.
This year's Annual Trade Tasting will see the start of a brand new conversation through the launch of:
A+ Australian Wine - Every one has story.
HO!!! HO!!! HO!!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

January 17th, 2011
Yesterday could be considered a classic Giovanni performance...
Another 12 hours sleep then...
in the afternoon to The Ritero to meet the last person who started writing this book
An hour of interviews
and a promise to help out from Brazil.
In the evening..?
OUT!!!
The Spanish bar culture is ULTRA SOCIAL!!!
Spaniards have SUPER HIGH drama small talk conversations.
Even more OUT, open and animated than Italians..?
Probably about the same, but Spaniards seem to be in the bars more.
Thereś more of a drinking culture...
And unlike in England they pour proper sized drinks...
DANCING???
Not for me
In this scenario I'm not a part in the drama, but the recorder of someone elses drama...
I won't be appearing in this book.
So.
When researching, I play the role of the stuffy Englishman who can't loosen his collar no matter what the provocation.
Hard disc recorders whirring in my head
Making people work and talk
Me..?
taking it all in,
looking
listening
wondering.
Piecing it together
working out the narrative.
A mirror reflecting back
a blank fly on the wall
It's hard for others to take
to get used to...
'ARE YOU ALRIGHT..?'
'ARE YOU BORED..?'
I'm very rarely bored and never so, when working on a project as LIVELY as this
But people mostly want interraction...
For you to give something back
THERE AND THEN
That's not how I work...
It's a style that may or may not work on this job
We'll see...

Slept thirteen hours last night.
Woke up at gone 3pm.
Dreams of accidentally killing a tame Kingfisher
and strange ritual thug behaviour at Tescos
Did more walking.
Madrid is very hilly.
Without reading the reasons, I'm trying to work out why Spains capital was and is here..?
Most major and capital cities are in the flatlands, next to the sea or both.
Madrid is in the hilly middle.
It's a very photogenic city.
I carry my camera everywhere
But I've not yet taken 1 photo
I need to be concentrated on the one thing.
And that is words.
Today I did more interviews with the kids.
The kids are important to this book in every way.
They are dealing with the idea and potential impact of it positively and properly.
Level headed kids.
Well earthed and very good hosts.
The boy has sacrificed his bedroom so I can sleep comfortably.
Tomorrow the MAIN subject of the book will be flying in from Ireland arriving at about 8.30pm.
'So, what's the plan for the evening...' I ask on the phone
'We're going dancing. Do you like dancing..?'
'Errrrm...'
'I need to go dancing at least once a month...If I don't, I get a spotty ass.'
By staying with the kids, the dog and the cat for 2 days...
I'm understanding that this book is so much more than a simple biography.
It's a blood letting, a theraphy, a settling,
a clearing of the decks...
An important mark for all concerned with and by it.
To have been trusted with doing it RIGHT
is
without a shadow
the GREATEST
creative challenge I've faced.

January 14th, 2011
So...
I AM IN MADRID!!!
I'm here to complete more research and development on a biographical book I have in the works.
For once, initial feedback from the world of proper publishing is very favourable!!!
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG???
Errrmmm...
The person I'm supposed to interviewing HERE AND NOW in Madrid is stuck in rural Ireland until Sunday night...!?!?!
OH NO!!!
So...
Instead of interviewing her, I'm hanging out round at her place with her 15 year old daughter, her 18 year old son, his girlfriend, the dog, and the cat!!!
We've been sightseeing, walking the dog and eating, then this evening we watched the first 4 episodes of
How I Met Your Mother

Harmonicande Vintners Ltd business meeting...
The aim is for a general catch up and for me to outline my last 3 days afternoons work.
This work is the calculation of how much wine we have in the warehouse, and the office, and to establish how much the warehouse says we have, so we can accurately know our trading position..?
We can therefore claim back any wine destroyed in the warehouse roof collapse of early December and fully know what our performance has been over the last 9 months..?
As I suggested the other day - what wine we think we have and what wine the warehouse says we have appear to be 2 COMPLETELY different propositions and strangely they work in our favour...
We agree to arrange a meeting with the warehouse for next week to haggle out the details and move on...
We're discussing the idea of buying the domain name prosecco.com
Currently we do the UK distribution for Riccardo the current owners of prosecco.com
Recently, they have been making noises that they might want to sell prosecco.com - perhaps to the Italian Prosecco Info people who currently own prosecco.it
Well, I was outlining how and why we should find some investors who'd be preparred to hijack that deal so that we buy prosecco.com for maybe £50,000..
To back up the idea prosecco.com is worth at least £50,000, I quote that sex.com had recently been sold for $14 million and that in 2011 it's widely predicted that Italian sparkling wines including prosecco will - for the first time - exceed the sales of champagne...
Well...
Somehow from there, we decided it to be a prudent business decision to buy the following domain names:
prosexco.com
prosexco.net
prosexco.info
&
prosexco.me
for a combined total of £34.17
Question is what do we do with them..?
Affiliate sites for sex workers..?
Make a brand of Prosecco with added rhino horn..?
A HUGE bottle shaped cock..?
Watch this space...

January 12th, 2011
I always like to read a minimum of 4 books at any one time...
Sometimes 1 will SMASH the others into the dirt until RED!!!
And sometimes I'll be reading another for years and not getting anywhere
But generally it's bits and pieces of a selection of different between 4 and 20 at a time...
At the moment, above any other, I'm really enjoying James Hewitts autobiography 'Love And War' but it's not smashing anything into the dirt..
I like this book for many reasons, not least because it's very neatly written and appears to be heartfelt and sincere.
I'm also interested in it, because this last year, I've ended up moving around some of the circles close to those talked of in this book...
Yes boss, by way of our presence at last years La Dolce Vita Italian Life show at the Islington Design Center, our wine company Harmonicande were invited to supply the wine for the Private View at an art gallery called The Estorick of a photographer called Johnny Shand Kydd...
Upon first hearing, the name Johnny Shand Kydd meant nothing to me.
I googled it and found that Johnny Shand Kydd is the half brother of Princess Di - his father married Di's mother...
Johnny Shand Kydd drinking Vanzella Chardonnay (PG£)
Shand Kydd made his name as a photographer by documenting the life and times of the YBA art crowd - Emin, Chapman Brothers, Hirst, Lucas, Whiteread etc.
Since then he's done a long term photographic study of Naples of which the show we provided the wine for was a part.
Most recently he's done a pretty good short film about a famous Japanesse tatooist.
I first met Shand Kydd when we dropped the wine off at the gallery, the day before the show. He was finishing up supervising the hanging of the photos. I had my camera draped on the shoulder as per often and so we chatted a bit about cameras and his pictures, and how he went about photographing Italians.
Shand Kydd came across as being quiet, shy, slightly arsito bumbling - but all round a genuine and pretty pleasant character...
Next day, we did the PV wine attended by most of the above names in the art world + Janice Joplin the dealer who made them all rich. The food was done by Giorgio Locatelli...
And there amidst all this new made and age old wealth was us - a bunch of chancers with some good wine from the North Of Italy.
It was a curious place to be...
A few weeks later I talked the gallery into us running the pay for bar at a talk Johnny did with art critic Tim Marlow...
Tim Marlow holding the devil (PG£)
That evening, there weren't any of the YBA artists, but there were 2 Johnny come latelys - art dealer Janice Joplin & Earl Spencer - Princess Di's most well known brother and talker of said MOMENTOUS SPEECH at his sisters funeral...
I didn't recognise Earl Spencer at first. He came in late, loitered by the door, looking for a seat.
'WHO IN THE FUCK IS THIS COMING IN LATE???' I thought...
Mr late was this BIG Bloke, tall and broad, with light blonde hair and a good and red drinkers face...
'Maybe a good customer..' I thought
He spied the seat one in front of Joplin, sat in it with his back to me and it was only then that I saw the tell tale Diana-esque hair and twigged who he was...
Janice & The Earl from behind (PG£)
Janice & The Earl from behind + bleach (PG£)
Once again, it was a curious thing to be mixing in such circles.
I'd read in the paper a few weeks before that Earl Spencer had something of a Jumble Sale at Christies - clearing out a few bits and pieces around the edges of the families collection of art, antiques and heirlooms.
It put £35 million in his skyrocket...
At the end of the talk, both Spencer and Joplin bought rounds. They both said they liked our wine. Johnny took my business card and we all headed around the corner to the pub.
Earl Spencer on the left with a glass of our Vanzella Chardonnay. Johnny Shand Kydd is 3rd from the right in the white blazer - our bar is at the back...
Joplin, Spencer, Shand Kydd, Marlow and others in the their gang had themselves a table outside in the garden of The Canonbury.
I pulled up on the table with this guy who's writing a PhD at Oxford on wine and using our business as a case study - like more or less everyone else in the pub, Jeremy hadn't yet twigged all of who were on the next table, until I pointed it out...
At 9pm, The Canonbury closses its garden because the neighbours complain about the noise.
At 9, we'd all only just settled.
This'll be fun, I thought, I wonder if the bar staff will recognise their illustrious clientèle.
If they do, will they still insist they go inside or will an exception be made?
Maybe Spencer'll SLAM HIS FIST!! on the table and refuse to go in
'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??!!'
Whatever happened, I decided I would stay outside and watch
Well, the bar staff didn't recognise their clients, Spencer didn't SLAM HIS FIST!! on the table, and on the third or 4th time of asking everyone went indoors to finish drinking.
It was all very uneventful.
Since then we've continued our relationship with the Estorick Gallery doing 2 more Private Views and talks, we also sold them wine for their Xmas gifts
We did the most recent Private View last night.
There were no obvious artisto celebs in attendance, but it was about about 85% posh - folk with gardens worth more money than my life to date...
And once again, I found my self wondering what in the hell I was doing there..?
Just selling wine I guess...

Joe biddin his time...
Hate to get political again, but Joe Biden AKA Dan Quayle is chewing on my nuts...
First he comes out with this crap about wikileaking being akin to HIGH TECH Terrorism...?!?!?
Then I read this in Oakenfolds Biography...
'Although Paul's popularity was soaring in America, the outlook for the dance scene in general wasn't so buoyant.
Senator Joe Biden forced a piece of legislation known as the RAVE Act through Congress in 2003, as an add-on to the Amber Alert Bill, which concerned child protection.
The RAVE bill - which stood for 'Resisting America's Vulnerability to Ecstacy' (YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP : PG£ ED) enabled the authorities to prosecute promoters for the drug offences of their audience.
There was an overwhelming opposition to the act, which was passed without a vote or debate in Congress, and a heavily amended version took ten months and an administrative change to become law.
The effect on large-scale US partying was devastating.
'It killed it dead,' says Gerry Gerrard. 'They stuck it on the Amber Alert bill, which meant that no one would vote against it, because they'd be voting against this bill about child protection.'
LIBERAL PG GERRY GIOVANNI OR WHAT???

OH CHRIST!!!
Today I done a proper afternoons work....
Yes boss, i have 2 weeks at least away from early morning The Sacred Aisles Of Tescos and so I'm trying to catch up with a little of the outstanding paperwork in the wine business of an afternoon whilst listening to Hammond Organ records and drinking Tai...
And you know what..?
IT'S A MESS!!!
Not us...
US???
A MESS???
NEVER!!!!
NO!!!, this whole question of what wine was and wasn't destroyed when the roof fell in on the warehouse...
Yes boss, when thoroughly analyzing what wine the warehouse claims to have and not have, I find they're saying they have more than they can possibly have...?!?
I'm also finding that we seemed to have already taken out more than was there to take out...?
IS THE WINE BREEDING???
I DO HOPE SO!!!
And another thing...
A few months back we became aware that there was a number of bottles of ours that had disappeared whilst in the warehouse...
WHAT???
Well, I persistently tried getting the warehouse to admit they were NASTY PARASITIC THIEVES!!
But they didn't answer their email very often and when they did, never came up with satisfactory answers as to where the bottles might be..?
Which inevitably lead to further thieving conspiracy...
Well, the inventory of stock we have that survived the warehouse CRASH suggests this missing wine + some more was found...?
I like these kind of stats...

January 9th, 2011
BLIMEY!!!
I'm beginning to feel the stretch on Day 9...
356 STILL TO GO!!!
ON THE TREADMILL!!!
MUST HAVE WORDS WORDS WORDS!!!
Haven't got so much to say though...
If i was 2 months in, I might allow a repost from days gone by - but I think at this point I have to try and keep things fresh -
BY WRITING BIG LONG INTRODUCTIONS ABOUT NOT HAVING ANYTHING TO SAY!!!
Actually, I do have a few observations on this latest US YAHOO WITH A GUN!!!
Yes boss, early reports suggest the bloke who went bazooka in Tucson was a general loner, a desperate young man druggy failed soldier who saw the wood for the trees of this world all too clearly...
I find I have sympathy with him and his cynical world view up until the point he started shooting at 9 year old girls...
Yes boss, at times I'm one jaded motherfucker, who feels the world is run by gangsters and crooks far worse than small time hillbilly loners like this guy - but how can you applaud a man who shoots randomly at kids...?
I don't like violence PERIOD!!!
I can back any inveterat discontent if they make sense and shoot at the right people with their pen or mouth - but I don't like to see the blood of kids on the pavement for any reason...
And so misunderstood and angry as I was and am with the world - I can only think of this boy as being
JUST ANOTHER CUNT!!!
This said, the duplicity of others who have the deaths of thousands on their paws in condemning the loner with a gun who kills less than 10 is something I can take a pop at...
Yes boss, did you notice MAN OF PEACE OBAMA!!! has suddenly popped out his closet...?
All throughout this wikileaking time, when PEACE MAN O has a 23 year old idealist kid locked in solitary for 9 months for trying to change the world a little without firing a single shot - HE, AND HIS GREAT MORAL CRUSADE HAVE NOT BEEN SEEN FOR JUICE?!?!
But as soon as another young man in his early 20s has something to say with a gun CHIEF HYPOCRASISE OBAMA is out on his moral bandwagon, spouting lame silly drivvel about how it's a crime against all Americans BLAH BLAH WOOF WOOF!!!
Lest we forget that Cool O has the blood of very many more women, children and kids on his hands than this prick in Tucson.
He runs a super power intent on dominating the world economically and militarily..
HE'S A VICIOUS FUCKING THUG IN CHARGE OF THE WORLDS MOST NASTY AND EXPANSIONST POWER!!!
But he wants to chip in a stone or 2 at a stupid fucked up kid with too much anger and not enough security clearance to be working with wikileaks...?
Sara Palin into insignificance (if only) also has a cross to bear on this one...
A cross hair...
Using gun imagery in political campaigning..?
Hopefully this will STING her out of the next Presidential race...
I'm sure there are many more who will be filling the US networks with their mealy mouthed OUTRGAE AND DISGUST!!!
Most of them won't think twice about kissing the ass of murderers when they return from wars - wars that this guy would have been working on, had they have let him join up..?
Yes boss, this boy tried joining up for war but was denied - presumably on mental health grounds...
Maybe they missed a trick there...?
The military has always been the dumping ground for the rabid out of control types - this guy could perhaps have done the US a GOOD massacre in Afghanistan and come home and wore a medal..?
If you're gonna be against violence at least try and be consistent...
That's all...

I've seen the now duo Sculpture play quite a few gigs this last 3 or 4 years and very often they're memorable for reasons other than the wierd and wonderful sonic squall...
One time I saw them play over in some peculiar church old art gallery in Camden...
There was free Japanesse beer all night and a good few bottles down I was really engaging with the true MAGNIFICENCE!!! of the tape loop SQUALLLLLL!!!
When I got a call from the now former Mrs G...
She was pregnant and locked out of the casa, and she wanted me to travel an hour across town to let her in...
Well, not only was I into it, but I had 2 American guests and we was all JUST GETTING PROPER INTO IT!!!, and the then Mrs Giovanni was supposed to have come over to Camden to GET INTO IT 'N ALL!!!
I was FURIOUS!!!
But what can you do..?
I seethed for a minute or two, then grabbed 2 beers and my American friends and we went home, stopping only to buy vodka on the way...
Which sent Mrs G FURIOUS!!! because we'd bought the vodka before letting her in, and she threw the bottle off the balcony, then gouged my arm, then sprayed the shower in my fully dressed face?!?!?
The next day I walked to Stratford and bought a solar panel which I've yet to get any use out of...)
Another good gig - musically perhaps the best took place on a Wednesday night in New Fucking Cross!!!
Yes boss, it was in some nouveau bar come alt.music hangout and in it, and Sculpture laid waste to all support acts with incredible ease.
Yes boss, I saw all of them except the guy who rolled around in leaves whilst playing a triangle
and they were evaporated!!!
CHOMPED OFF AND OUT!!! GOBSMACKED AND DUMBFOUNDED!! THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT'D HIT 'EM!!!
Seriously!!!
I've never seen a man or for that matter a woman, PULSE and FEEL like that on stage whilst playing electronic music?!?!?
IT WAS EPIC!!
It was the kind of gig where you see the clear and unmistakeable difference between a pro and the very many wannabe pretenders who'll soon stop taking it all seriously and become software programers or civil servants or bus drivers...
PROPER GOOD!!!
Last nights gig at the ICA would sit somewhere inbetween the two...
There was no domestic, but I did loose 2 hats during the evening...
I took a SHITLOAD of photos that I haven't yet seen, because after returning to Mr Visuals Ruebens house for the afterparty, I fell asleep on his sofa only waking at 11.41am when my daughter phoned me...
#tescosfail
I still haven't been home other than to pick up my computer...
Yes boss, all told it was a pretty spiffing night...
Which didn't look like it was gonna come off because when I got there, The ICA were chatting some shit about the place being FULL and no more people being admitted and I wasn't a member or on the guest list...
But where there's a will there's a way...
So...
GREAT MUSIC AND VISUALS FROM DAN & REUBEN!!!
Not so GREAT breakcore from some other bloke
And I caught up with a few old aquaintances...
Hard to fault...
7 DAYS AND 1 WEEK!!!
January 7th, 2011
LP OF THE DAY!!!
So, it's only the first LP I've put on, but I can't see it being beaten today or even tomorrow...
It's called
Efforts Of Small Monkeys
And it's subtitled:
A collection of songs telling the stories of Rama, Krishna & Shiva
Now, this LP arrived here as part of this 700 Easy Listening record collection that I bought from some strange middle aged bearded loner from Walthamstow.
The guy delivered all the LPs with his campervan. He was a nice quiet bloke. Part of me wonders if he was in fact a time traveling manifestation of me in 30 year- NO!!! FUCK!!!! I'm gonna be about 55 in 20 years?!?!?
Anyway from this LP, I'm expecting, some Indian sounding, droney, chanty kind of record, with soft Indian voices retelling the stories of old over sitars....
I'm expecting to almost be able to SMELL the sandalwood.
Well, I remove the record from it's sleeve (no inner sleeve on this one – Krishna wouldn't have liked inner sleeves)
I drop the needle, and...
WHAT???
It's some godawful, completely wonderful cheery, basic folky record with hints of musicals, light reggae and the once good rock band QUEEN!!!
MORE PACHUTLI OIL THAN SANDAWOOD!!!
UNFUCKIGNBELIEVEABLE!!!
Click THIS TEXT to hear/download my favourite track (excuse the very HEAVY bass – I just recorded ambient stylee with my dictaphone)
The best, most amusing thing you've heard for a very VERY long time – no???
'Who was there when all the pretty women went to bathe in the gemna waters blue..?'
A!!!

'It was
I BET IT WAS!!!
Maybe I'll follow my novelty HIT single The C.I.A RAP!!! with a funked up version of this..?
Have P Diddy FREESTYLIN over the top..?
'KRISHNA MOTHERFUCKER!!! YEAH!!! YEAH!!! BOOM TICKETY KRISHNA!!! KRISHNA BLING DIDDY YEAH!!!'
TESCOS BROMLEY BY BOW FACT!!!
There's at least 2 people who work at Bromley by Bow Tescos called Krishna.
One of them is a bloke – everyone calls him Chris (probably actually Kris – but I prefer to think of it being spelt Chris)
The other is a very small young lady (less than 5 feet) who has quite a fesity temper – she keeps her full Krishna name...
SUPERMAKRET LEGISLATION IDEA NO1!!!
Lots of bananas got bruised and therefore thrown away from each and every supermarket...
I think it should become LAW that all supermarkets are LEGALLY OBLIGED to keep 1 monkey for each 23kg of bananas they sell...
The monkey/s would be kept in a special enclosure in the foyer and live on the waste bananas...
Placing them there would not only mean the bananas don't go to waste, but that they'd provide entertainment for kids and adults alike!!!
Shit, it'd be better than those fucking silly small plastic cars that cost exhausted parents a quid, and bubblegum machines that usually clog up supermarket foyers...
Whaddayareckon...?

January 6th, 2011
After a pause I'm back finishing up reading Paul Oakenfolds biography...
Early doors, it describes how he and his producing partner Steve Osborne first produced The Happy Mondays, then on the basis of that got the U2 gig and became PROPER PRODUCER PROFESSIONALS!!!
On the back of much work and exceptional timing, Oakey went from being an underground success to a very commercial and mainstream success...
Because of this rather able career move, there was apparently some bad blood from some in the Factory/Mondays camp towards Oakenfold & Osborne
- that it was their winding up petition that finished off Factory Records
- that Osboune and Oakey got the U2 gig because they were given the Mondays one and that they should have showed more respect and loyalty to The Mondays and produced their second shit album even though it was shit..
Well, I'm not a BIG fan of the Happy Mondays, for that matter I've never even heard much of their stuff.
I'm also not fond of Oakeys music either – that which I've heard at least, though his club nights as depicted in this book sound like fun...
This so, I find The Mondays to be all the more likeable even though they destructed into a horrible fucking mess – or perhaps because of it...
Seems silly...
But I really don't like the idea of musicians or for that matter any creatives being good in business and having successfully well crafted careers, without regular bouts of self destruction, idiocy and ridicularity....
When Oakey starts going on about what he learned about building a good career from touring with U2 and talking with Bono, I start to shudder...
Reading on, Oakeys life seems to have thus far been one of endless and continued success - more or less everything he puts his hand to comes off...
If he so much as walks past a nightclub, there's a queue a mile long of people anxious to go into it to hear him play some records...??
Well, I'm nearly at the end of the book now, and I find I certainly admire Oakenfold for his success...
He comes across as being a nice bloke - the kind of guy who can ride the mainstream waves whilst tingling his toes in the underground at the very same time...
Cutting yourself a niche in this world whilst doing something you LOVE in something special and so few who start on the road manage it...
But the question I can't get passed is this...
Is it really what genuine soul music is all about..?
Is the continual compromise required a denigration of the substance of the idea or not that important over time..??
I don't know the answer...
What I do know, is that unlike Oakey, I seem to have a complete fucking aversion to making money out of anything creative I do?!?!
Every time I get near it, it seems like I'm to be gaining a rod to be beaten with, full of unreaosonable EXPECTATIONS and STRESSES and EXTRA problems on top of those caused by actually focusing fully on the creation of the work...
I find, I don't have any stress factor left to manage all that shit, and so, I retreat from the opportunity to start taking pictures instead of writing, or self destruct the project in some canny way...
So, I guess it follows that I'd rather have musicians being messy and disorganised fucking messes – even if it means as it did with both The Stone Roses & The Mondays – that they burn early and young without realising their full potential...
It's not BIG or CLEVER, or even right
But for some twisted reason, I prefer it...

R.I.P
It's endless..............
Twitter is dying on it's feet...
From being a simple ting – it's moving towards BLOOMBERG!!!
And all the time R.I.P Him, Her and IT...
Such a HUGE LONG LIST OF DEATH!!!
And everyone twits and retwits their condolences for people they've never met
but are sure are
SALT OF THE EARTH GOOD FOLK GENIUS!!!
I've done it...
Who hasn't..?
But enough O.A.P is enough
Yes boss, you know people are loosing it, when they spend so many hours on the obituaries...
'Mildred North has died...'
'Shame'
'Cancer..?'
'Was it Mildred who played with Dylan..?'
'Where will it end..?'
Where's the Twitting celebration of birth..?
At least local papers have that in more or less equal balance...
Anyway...
Bagpuss was pretty good...
It was all hand puppets.
Emma liked it, though she got scared by the Scotsman playing bagpipes
And I got told off for taking photos of the puppets...
Onto the cricket...
It's very sad that Glen McGraths wife died of breast cancer
Whereas Warney has always appeared a feckless non-caring fuck, McGrath was his hard friendly regular nemesis.
Regular, lacking flamboyance, no nonsense LINE AND LENGTH.
That he really adored and loved his wife is evident with the impact of the pink at the 5th and final Test Match of this extraordinary series
The pink still irritates me though
CRICKET IS CRICKET!!!
A game about whacking a ball made of leather with a bat made of wood
Beating the bat with the ball and the ball with the bat
WHITE!!!
The aim of the game is to divert us from the horror of day to day life?
It has nothing to do with breast cancer...
It's sad that these days, everything has to be stuffed and suffocated with CHARITY???

January 3rd, 2011As may already be COMPLETELY FUCKING OBVIOUS, the plot with this blog is to do a post a day everyday for the duration of 2011...
Yes boss, I never do things by halves – if there's gonna be a blog at this point in time it MUST be done every day!!!
HO HO HO!!!
Of course, I hope these blogs will have their own intrinsic small talk comedic value - but in essence, the aim here is to do with providing mid to heavy training for a biographical book i'm currently researching...
Yes boss, I'm off to Madrid next Friday for 4 days of extensive interviewing, further research and outline mapping, which should see me with enough information to get the project floating in some kind of paying way...
The story is the life story of a woman called -
Standing in the way of this project, are 1 or 2 rather powerful people from the world of entertainment and PR.
One of these people, a household name oh so familiar to all of you, holds a confidentiality contract with the main protagonist and overwhelming subject of this book which prevents it being talked of written or published...
More news when I have it...
So, today...
I went to Poundland today to snap up some bargains, but NOTHING was reduced?!?!
Everything was still 'Just £1??'
MEAN SPIRITED FUCKS!!!
PROFITEERING CAPITALIST WANKERS!!!
RECORD LP MUSIC NEWS!!!
The belt finally gave out on my record player about 6 weeks ago and since then despite acquiring 2 other record players, both of which turned out to promise MUCH and deliver very close to FUCK ALL in terms of quality sound, I got the belt replaced on the old one...
And so, I'm back now going through these stash of 700 Easy Listening records I picked a while back for absurd small money...
Last night, I was multi-tasking Matt Monroe & Demis Roussos with the cricket – a right pair of FANTASTIC VOICES them too!!! mixed well with Geoffrey Boycott 'n all...
Other good finds have included some really fine early synthesizer records – real and proper arrangements...
I need to get through these records PRONTI FUCKING QUA!!! and make some space, so I'll be ditching about half or more of this 700...
Yes boss, one day soon, Raphael Manns (Frizz Records quiet underlord & Mr Hudson Bass Player) vinyl record collection is headed to this here office in a taxi for warm storage...
And what a collection it must be!!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
And neither I'm sure can my UBER TOLERANT LOUD MUSIC LOVING neighbours!!!
OH YES!!!

HO HO HO!!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!
Bear me a few warm up days...
It's been more than a year since I've done anything so serious...
I'm finger rusty – which I discovered LATE last night as I was trying to start...
Fuck knows how come a wierdly stilted poem was the answer rather than me SHOUTING RANDOM CRAP!!!
But there we go...
NO SO!!!
Well, today my quest is to be associated with the famous and to KICK A STINK over nasty cops...
Famous who..?
WAIT AND READ!!!
Yes boss, I'm the type of cunt who can associate themselves with more or less anyone in the short term spotlight for the simple reason that I'm a self aggrandizing FOOL who never much watches TV and who instead bussies himself with complicating and enjoying a life OF MY OWN!!!
No boss, I couldn't give a SHIT about silly virtual characters in silly virtual soapy doperas who have the combined value of a hamster and it's wheel.
I like to undergo and survive my own 4 car crashes a week with celebrities in the side seat...
WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO??
So, here's todays FAME story...
My mother used to work in a childrens home in Harpenden.
From the age of 19 she had 24/7 responsibility for up to 10 kids who'd been taken into care for all manner of reasons...
Yes boss, my mother is a LEGEND of firm but fair parenting!!!
I struggle with 1 kid – my own, at age 35, she had up to 10 from the age of 19 - none of whom were her own, and all had many complicated problems and family situations...
One of them Ernest, was only 3 or 4 years younger than my mum.
His mum was dead and his dad couldn't cope and was a bit mad...
Prior to him going to the NCH, Ernest used to be dangled by his shins from the window when times were tough...
There were many others, one of whom once turned up on our doorstep at midnight years later because he had nowhere else to go...
Well, eventually my mother broke loose, found a good man, married my dad who had a son with learning difficulties
Then she had me...
Anyway...
My mums maiden name is Batholemew and guess who was another person living in Harpenden in the 1960s with the name of Batholemew..?
Eric Morecombe...
Yes boss, Morecombe is a stage name – his real name is Eric Batholemew and so from time to time my mothers post would end up at his house...
Well, being a gentleman Morecombe would not only forward the post, he'd include a nice letter with a coupla jokes attached...
My mum kept the letters – but I never saw them...
No boss, she gave them to my eldest half brother Nigel as an heirloom...
and they were lost when he accidentally burned down his caravan whilst cooking chips...
SHIT HAPPENS!!!
Moving on...
The cops have today released the blue rinse professor – chances are he didn't kill the blonde middle class girl – one of many people murdered horribly in the last 2 weeks...
But if in doubt and MASSIVE MEDIA speculation, the cops always have to pull in a FREAK!!
They need to, to keep the tabloids happy...
Well, this reminded me of the case of Stefan Klisko who was convicted of the (sexual) murder of a young girl in 1976.
Stefan Kiszko spent 16 years in prison until he was released in 1992.
He died of a heart attack the followng year at his mother's home aged 44; his mother, who had waged a long campaign to prove her son's innocence, died six months later...
Now if ever there was a CLEAR case of lazy stupid IGNORANT FUCKING COPS framing a guy with no means to defend himself to make their lives easier - this was it...
Yes boss, the likely truth was that in 1976 the bizzies didn't have the faintest fucking idea as to who had ACTUALLY killed the girl and so because of media pressure, they pulled in a local freak who they could easily strong arm into a confession and then BANGED him up for 16 fucking years...
Barry Bulsara..?
SAME SHIT...
And do these LOW LIFE BEATING BOBBIES, who broke the heart of a strong woman, who'd dealt with a kid with problems, AND imprisoned an innocent man because THEY were inept, EVER do a day in jail..?
THIS KIND OF SHIT MAKES ME FUCKING MAD!!!

December 31st, 2010
I went to get these photomags and photoshop books - an easy walk up just a nudge off Hackney Central
a 3 mile round trip.
I get these books and magazines
I don't even want
and I'm walking back
looking like a right soft new media boy:
Canvas shopping bag with a carbon footprint slogan containing photoshop books
and a DJ records bag with the photo mags...
IMMIGRANT CHANCER CUNT!!!
BEEP!!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!!
Another time I walked up the similar street
We've had a number of drinks in the pub
and the brother suggests we go back to his place because he has vodka...
we're walking there
And he's RAMBLING ON LOUD
ABOUT
HOW
FASCINATING IT IS THAT PEOPLE LIVE IN THESE BIRCK BUILT COUNCIL FLATS AND THAT THEY'RE POOR AND THAT THEY'RE LIFE IS SO DIFFERENT TO OURS!!!
And so today
I'm walking down this same street with my bags full of unnesecary photo guff
remembering this occasion
feeling very glad nothing happened that night,
and maybe it could be a story for thi-
THUNK!!!!!!
I look left at the block
I keep looking
looking...
looking...
Nothing
no sight or sound of anyone having thrown a fucking apple...
but it's there on the pavement having bounced off the British Gas Van...
bruised
golden delicious
