Hello there, I've just realised that I'm so ironic I couldn't spell the word "vocabulary". How are we all? Work is the curse of the posting class, you know. And now the words "class" and "post" together made me think of stamps. Did you know there's an island called "Tristan da Cunha" in the middle of South Atlantic Ocean? I didn't! It has a population of about 300 and the people there's main source of income is from fishing, and STAMP MAKING. When you post stamps to people do you have to put a stamp on the stamps? So yeah, this post is hardly going to be first class, but to a degree that might be a good thing, like a first class degree, or sommink, like if you stock furry coats, then you're gonna have sommink in yer wardrobe, innit. REPORTING BACK There has been very little REPORTING BACK on TIGERMILKING, which quite frankly is a poor effort given the success that it had been! The event was so hot it was steaming, both in the temperature sense and the drunken level sense. The DJs DJed with DJing skillz galore with Dafyd's britpop Stefano's rock Ken's oldies Marianna's P!O!P! and Mark's R&B blended to perfection. The Betsey Trotwood was reorganised so that there is an actual DJ SHRINE bit where dancing people can now worship the DJs with their dance moves, which was nice. Those who have missed it, have missed out. But fear not, as I have heard rumours of another dose of TIGERMILKING is being stewed inside a tiger bosom even as we speak! SHAME ACADEMY Ever since buying a TV I've been trying more and more to integrate myself with the world by starting to watch crap TV programs, and the other night I watched the Qualifying rounds for "FAME ACADEMY" and I must say, how delightfully apalling, yet great! Eight people who can't sing were put on the spot to sing, and then they fail, and then the judges slag them off! I had imagined that that must have been what it was like in the olden days when you get stoned to death in public, except you don't actually die on Fame Academy so that you have to live with the SHAME for ever. How awful. I loved it tho. Although I couldn't be arsed to find out who won and so I went off to TESCO before the end. PUN The best pun I've heard on British Television.. this was during Channel 4's excellent "Top 100 best selling singles of all time" show, and they talked about the Beatles' breakthrough to America... "Their arrival was just what the USA had needed after JFK's assassination, and they had achieved an unprecedented level of success." an UN-PRESIDENTED level of success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha, nice one. RED BULL DOZERS Speaking of puns, a few weeks ago I entered for the RED BULL FLUGTAG that is happening in London on the 3rd Aug at the Serpentine Lake, which basically involve loads of mad people throwing themselves into the lake in a wacky "Aircraft" that they'd have had built for it. Well, a flying machine with a construction vehicle design called the "RED BULL DOZER" would never fail to impress, you'd have thought. But NO, it got Rejected :-( Well, there must have been better designs around, I guess. And THEN, I looked at the website and saw THIS http://www.redbullflugtag.co.uk/entrants/card.php?id=21 YES, an entry with the SAME NAME, SAME PUN, and pretty much the SAME DESIGN. Poo :-( And they chose theirs over mine! Damn them and their double-barrel last names. So yeah. RED BULL DOZERS, TOO I've heard rumours that they might be playing a gig in Glasgow in the near future.
