4. My mate chris driving home, goes past burning car showroom: his car then breaks down and him and a couple of medicated dudes need to push car through riot.
5. You can get a curry for under £3, normally in the converted room of a terrace house. Menu on blackboard on wall, normally containing non- specific meat
6. The answer to the eternal question "Who ate all the pies?" can generaly be answered with "Most of the women over the age of 17 in bradford"
7. It has the 1 in 12 club
8. I were a member of 1 in 12 when i was 15: i had "mouse" on my card
9. It's where that prossie drama that was on tv a couple of years ago were set

having not posted properly in a while (ive been speading time @ m*sp*ce.com_)
i reckoned; time fer poetry then...

Song for Simon

Use to misuse, abuse
abuse and abused
Acute and accused
Pin prick and oily
The fool is confused
Dependence, addiction
Addiction depends on
depends on who?

Flying you deepen
A chemical coherence
People see what
Do what they want
A religious devotion
devout like a fool on
A chalky pill icon
To hang with and lean on
keep high and dream on
And remember what you never forgot

my eyes my eyes...!

now everyone can play "spot the link"

"You fucking broke my sitar, motherfucker!"

Well its come to this : aiming to make 90% sick after looking at it fer 2 minutes.

If you do go there, could you go to and gi us feed back on this (apart from the pic, which was just to noise john up), its an old mate of mine that i would appear to be *ahem* managing at the moment, he should be working at break kneck speed on a reworked copy of his demo.

Any between this franticness i watched DiG, which were cool and one of the funniest things ive seen in a while (although sadly no drummers died in the making) and also downloaded most of the Brian Jonestown Massacres albumns from their site

Also toying with doing solo version of "pramface" demo, prob more on that some other time

A belated post

Not sleeping one night, i turned on Radio5 (radio 4 was off air) and they were talking about the Superbowl and the various teams etc

A couple of days and a trip to the boozer later i came back and went on the poker. Having taken some nice pots recently (4 Kings, **dances**) i had some cash in the account and having drunk some beer the thought accured i should piss it away by gambling on games i know nowt about, and i remembered the radio from the other night...

about 3 weeks later and as my monthly drinking vouchers had gone, i thought id play some poker ..

Superbowl XLPittsburgh Steelers: 20 - 1: £5 on to win: Win: £105.00

more evidence (if needed) that radio listening, internet gambling and booze are good stuff; i would also note that i was smoking cigerettes at the time.

You went to school where you were taught to fear and to obey, be cheerful, fit in, or someone might think you're weird. Life can be perfect. People ca

the perfect tortea du potata, learned from proper spanish, from spain

stuff:
eggs (5 or 6)
Olive oil (some)
an Onion
about 5 or 6 small potatoes or less if bigger


method:
chop tatties into small (>1cm/sq) cubes
there should be enough spud to 1/3 fill a frying pan
this should be put in a pre heated non stick frying pan (with enough olive oil to cover the tatties)
Fry the above for a bit
dice the onions and add to the frying pan

Whilst the above is cooking beat eggs in a bowl adding sea salt and ground black pepper as desired.

Once it looks like the onions are starting to cook (and the potatoes should be soft(ish))take the frying pan straight from the hob and add very hot contents to the egg

stir, cover and leave for 10 minutes

stir, cover and leave for 5 minutes

having already reheating the frying pan to a fairly hot temperature add the mixture

do various things to the pan whilst periodically remove from the heat for short periods
a slight twitch/shake/rotation action is good, with the odd stir

once it looks like the base is starting to set, we cheat a little (dont do this in front of the spanish as they freak) and stick the pan under a hot grill untill the top of the omlette starts to solidify

the tricky bit:
Place plate over the omlette in the pan (having removed it from the grill);
invert
slide the omlette back from the plate into the pan so the not so cooked side is now the base
place back on the heat

cook untill firm

Cut into pieces
serve with thin slices of chorizo after a night out on DF's at the west-end Subway

where this came from . . .

the idea that im posting this makes me laugh

alot

im oncall by the way, it does strange things to a man:


Part way through the evening
The lads were 'round in force
OF course they'd all been drinkin and thinking of woman and rutting
When one produced a card
Hard plastic for pleasure

Strutting their stuff their minds made up
Not stopping to think (Well maybe of pink)
Seeking, soon to be there
Treasure, Ladies spread bare
And only small care of which one to pick

Born was the grin of a groin and their faces
Tracing backwards and forwards
Between porn and the sweet shelf

Finally the climax of the rock hard mission; the decision
Not one
Not two
But 3 to see, here

Switch card the art with little time to sign darting out to the street not a beat missed in elated mood some difficulty walking and pictures that were rude

...working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need

but i do need this:

Cause they do this;

and thats ace
