About Me

Mark pedalled out of the fish and chip shop on a a Raleigh three-speed with no functioning breaks-- a Marks & Spencers pork pie in one hand, a pint of warm bitter in another and a weird looking bass in the other. Bob alone knows how he was steering. The sun glinted off his sweaty brow as he went arse over tip into the gutter. Luckily, pie, beer and bass survived intact. Who you gonna call when all the other bassists already got gigs? Mark the Spark-- He's better than nothing!

More Mel. More Buttocks

So you're a celebrity!

I'm not going to take any medical advice from people who are famous for having big tits. I'm going to ignore just about anything said by short (or tall, or average height) people who believe there's ...

Haven't seen enough weird guitars yet today? Mostly my own work.

Wisdom Part II

I thought I had it pretty succinctly in my last blog, but then I thought of this:If you've never considered that you might be wrong about something, you probably are.
