From hell's heart, I stab at thee

Funny posters?

I smiled at first but after a while I couldn't help feel that they were modern fundametalism attempting to be something else and failing. As I looked at them it felt like the comedy equivalent of reading the Daily Mail, hence the Melville quote. But then isn't that how all modern satire works, by taking bits of a picture and creating a meta-narrative? Creating a meta-narrative is all the modernist can do, it is their way, their very being :-)

Gary Numan to appear in the Mighty Boosh

According to a little news item on his website (Numan.co.uk) Gary has recorded a short cameo for the new series of the Mighty Boosh. This is good news because...
  • I like Gary Numan
  • I like the Mighty Boosh
  • It means there is a new series of the Mighty Boosh on TV in November

The most perfect pop song ever... no discussion

and it only got to number 10 in the charts, proof that everyone shouldn't get the vote.

I am seriously considering ditching facebook

In no relation to the link at the bottom of this post I am seriously considering ditching facebook. I am concerned that my profile appears on pages with advertisements from such companies as I would prefer not to be associated with... it works both ways capitalists!

Mock the week

Why do I laugh? Well I laughed at this so make your own mind up. And yes, I do think Frankie
Boyle is funny :-)

Can I get a re... fund? (just in case you thought I had gone garage)

Wondering whether I can get a refund on the BBC license. Watched Mock the Week on BBC 2 on Thursday 10th August where Hugh Dennis made several jokes about the Foot and Mouth outbreak.

I then proceeded to listen to the Now show on Radio 4 where several of the same jokes were made.

I feel short changed, although as I laughed at the same jokes on both occasions I suppose they can get away with it.

Giant spider safely removed from bath

Woke up this morning and there in the bath (I didn't wake up in the bathroom but it was the first room I went to) was a giant house spider - well it was quite big.

I was tempted to leave it in the bath, after all it may have been there simply to have a wash, but to be honest I don't buy Lynx Shower Gel for anyone to use and so I had to act (if only I was as talented as Ross Kemp).

After finding an empty plastic beaker, I trapped the Tegenaria domestica, and sliding some card under the beaker was able to pick it up. I glanced into the beaker, and with an air of superiority that comes with only millennia of evolutionary progress or intelligent design I said, 'ha'.

And the spider stood there (stood seems such a little word for something that has eight legs) and gave me such a dirty look... so I threw it out the house
