I am here for Friends

About Me

According to a list of names that I have used to sign threatening letters, I am:The Knight of the Living Dead Bishop PQ Rodriguez George Washington.According to a school report dated 1999, I am: A Pleasure to Teach Not the PE type.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

George Carlin (I reckon he'd be an interesting guy to talk to, like Povey, but more radical).Garth Ennis (I imagine he's another interesting guy to talk to).Grant Morrison (he's just a thoroughly interesting, and strange person, talented beyond measure, but weird, really really weird).Tom Waits (he could talk nonsense all night, but he has the greatest voice in the world, I wouldn't mind).Willie Nelson (Whilst I certainly condone the smoking of pot, I don't flaunt it as one of the necessities of coolness, but I can imagine nothing better than getting stoned with Willie Nelson).And a host of dead people, Hicks, Cash, Twain, Lenny Bruce, Kerouac.

My Blog

Burn the book of faces.

Complain enough, and all of your dreams can come true.

So Veg was being a lame-wad, so I didn't see him for an age, but then I complained and made it quite clear that I was upset, and BLAM! I was getting drunk with him and accusing him of being the 'King ...

The hunt.

It will begin with the search for the Moorlands panther, a nice easy local legend to whet the appetites of the viewing public. We'll record a few interviews, and show the newspaper articles, and our s...

Surrounded by electricity.

Don't get me wrong I'm having an OK time here, a few good friends, full sized pool tables and I make my own decisions about my hair. Great right? I'd almost say that it is worth...what's the word I'm ...

Celebrating the death of Jesus Christ.

I'm not going to suggest that we plan the perfect holiday, Tino tried it in Disney's TV show 'The Weekenders' (Garfunkel to 'Recess'' Paul Simon) and it went terribly wrong, the gang could still laugh...

Well my work here is done. Just not the work I was supposed to be doing.

I'll be writing this blog quite slowly, I am participating in an online groove room, designed to celebrate the platonic love we have for each other and for all living things. If you're not smiling rig...
