Vladimir Romanov is a Wanker/Fish Supper

Back to the dual titles again. If you are offended by strong language then head to the CBeebies site now because this is going to get coarse. After last weekends horrific 5-0 spanking by Celtic, many of the more blinkered Hearts fans are starting to realise that Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov is indeed the fucking [...]

Swindon then Solihull

For the next few days I am on the road with work giving training courses in Swindon and Solihull. I’ve got some stuff of my own to do at night, mostly looking at a new site for my Dad and also a friend who runs a B&B so I’m likely to be a busy boy. [...]

Foo of myself

Last Tuesday night was excellent. Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails at Meadowbank Stadium. It was one of a series of ‘T on the Fringe’ gigs for the Edinburgh Festival. Superb. They did a great job with Meadowbank as well. A crumbling late 60’s concrete athletics stadium, built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games, Meadowbank has [...]

A busy week

I’ve gone from updating daily to updating sporadically in the last week or two. Sometimes I guess I just hit blogging blanks. I suppose the key is to be fine with that and accept that in the same way that you don’t want to phone all your mates on a daily basis and tell them [...]

Writers block

I’m sure all bloggers go through the trials of writers block. Basically nothing is inspiring me to write this last week. I think being fairly tired isn’t helping. I should be buzzing with topics. Edinburgh is alive with Festival goodness. The stars walk the streets. Comedians, actors and that prick Ricky Gervais. Whatever he is. [...]

Back to bedlam

No. Not a post about that wee weasel James Blunt. Instead a post about my back. Or more to the point, the pain I have in my upper back and neck. About a year ago, just around the time of the wedding, I suffered from a trapped nerve in my neck, resulting in horrendous back, [...]

Monday morning lyric - Neverland (Marillion 2004)

Wendy
Darling
In the kitchen
With your dreams
Will you fly
again
Take to the sky
again
Undo the hooks
Once and for all
Banish the tic tic tic tok tok tok
Again
Will you be
Yourself for me
Cause I can take it
I can stand
Anything
When you’re with me
I can stand it
I can stand
But when you’re gone
I never land
In Neverland

Fame although no fortune.

I’ve had my first article published in SPIN magazine. The printed version has a mugshot of me included. Here’s the link to the (limited) online version. I’m all chuffed and stuff.

Me. Cheering.

I’m starting to lose track of the number of live albums which my roaring, cheering, dulcit tones now appear on. Back in 1989, I was in the crowd for two live releases, namely Marillion’s “Theiving Magpie” and Helloween’s “Live in the UK”. After that, my live album cameo appearances dried up and it wasn’t until [...]

Face. Booked.

I can’t believe it but I’ve taken the social networking plunge and created a Facebook account. It will probably see as much use as my MySpace account, which isn’t very much but it’s still cool to tinker with and see who you know. Anyway. Here I am.
In other news, I’m just back from two days [...]
