About Me

Well, myspace is flippin' dead, we've lost our website to a pest control spam page so I wholeheartedly suggest you head over to our last fm page post haste!

Bio-wise, we were a bunch of knobs, we played music for a while and then stopped.

My Blog

44th Blog - Superlative that HO!

Firstly, to make things clear, for all intents and purposes, ddf is no more.  We may have a one-off gig in March (if we can find somewhere to practice), but there are no plans beyond that.  ...

43rd Blog - Prego?

I keep a draft email in my Outlook with various links to blogs, job vacancies and other miscellaneous sites of interest.  On there is a link to a picture of Appleman from the Bananaman cartoon.&n...

42nd Blog - Six bottles of Château Latour 1945

Ah, the banality of local radio - wall-to-wall Phil Collins and "phone in with your ideas of what makes Derby unique". It's that time of year again chubis. 11 out of the 16 people who work in our off...

41st Blog - Normanton Nights

So, the plan was to meet Simon around 5pm in Derby, grab some dinner, then head to Martin's (which I was assured was quite close to town). I got Martin's postcode, multimapped the fcuk out of it and I...

40th Blog - Sneinton Days

So, starting with the Saturday sesh& me and Pete (mainly me) were faffing and so didn't leave Portland until 9.02am-ish. This was bad news as we had the room keys and didn't want to leave Simon, Ian, ...

39th Blog - Titchmarsh!

The seed aisle in Homebase is a dangerous place for a naïve and simple man like me. This is where I found myself back in February with Mrs Tom; selfishly and carelessly grabbing at packets of seeds l...

38th Blog - Dirty Pop

Is there any point starting this by saying it's a lazy afternoon? Either way, it is, and you know now. I promised you some thoughts on Quadrapop& I've owned my phone, a rather snazzy Sony wioi888-oi-...

37th Blog - Pay attention to me; I don't talk for my health

No unaided flight, no mythical creatures, no running around in my underwear in a place I don't recognise but sort of do.  No.  Last night's dream involved collecting my amps from the repair ...

36th Blog - My days are cold without you

The trouble with blogs, much like songs, is that they often start with real drive and purpose but quickly lose momentum. Blog 35 Mk.1 was a full-on rant about the drudgery of office life - hardly an o...

35th Blog - Biffy & Blocs

  Sunday 15th April 2007:   Simon turns up to a Bloc Party gig sans knowledge that Biffy are supporting.  This would also appear to be the case for almost everyone wearing a YSL shirt ...
