New Job. EastEnders Plot-Liner. DONE.

rich — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:18:12 +0000

I`m a bloody genius, I am. I`ve written the plot of EastEnders for the next 15 years. Enjoy.

Dup dup duppaduppadup.

The Vic changes hands. A wedding. Scene directed by art student. Includes music by Coldplay, faded across scenes via various radios to deliver a sense of continuity. New character arrives. Phil starts drinking. The Caff changes hands. A murder. The Vic changes hands. The [...]

They Might Be Giants – Here Comes The Education

rich — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:33:18 +0000

My sister and I are big fans of They Might Be Giants. I`ve been a fan since I was probably 12 or 13 years old, which is a long, long time. When I asked her if she fancied the “Here Come…” CDs for Christmas, she said they`d be too childish. I`d heard a few of [...]

EastEnders E20: Holy Fuck

rich — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:30:08 +0000

Recently, the BBC`s bastion of social commentary, EastEnders spawned a sidekick show in the form of EastEnders E20, and thank Christ the programme is only available online or via the red button interactive thingie.

The premise is thus: take a bunch of new characters, introduced during 2 episodes of the regular show, and spice it up [...]

Bang and The Dirt is Gone

rich — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:22:59 +0000

Having had what can only be described as the worst year in living memory, I`ve taken the headstaggers and ripped the website apart and squirted it all into Wordpress. These facts are somehow linked, probably something to do with occupying THE BRAIN. Having put the lot together over a few years using handrolled PHP, [...]

Years Of Refusal Added!

rich — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:29:51 +0000

Halloo!

Well, it`s the night before Christmas we begin more data centre work, so lots of night working, weekend working, and sleep working. But then I thought “Oh, there haven`t been any Illustrated Smiths pics in a while”, and remembered Years Of Refusal hadn`t been added to the list. Well, now it has!

So let`s get adding [...]

Quick Hackery

Hallo from the world of headstaggers. Well, it`s Friday (I think) around lunch time, and I`m gearing up to go back to bed. No, I`ve not become even more lazy, but I have started a new job with some very odd shift work. I`ll be “on” (in man terms, not lady terms) [...]

Big Brother UK 2009 – Let The Crapfest Commence

rich — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 13:37:47 +0000

Tonight begins the UK`s annual Big Brother crapfest. With each passing year I wonder what has gone wrong with the people of this country, and the media who obsess over their every belch, swearword, and ex-boy/girlfriend.

I have no idea who won last year, or pretty much any other year, and in fact could probably only [...]

The BNP – Making Movies – What on Earth?

rich — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:45:54 +0000

It`s not often I post anything remotely political, other than childish name calling of those who supposedly run the country. However, the media would have you believe that due to the general unrest of the population of the UK over the country`s pretty awful economic situation and the MPs with their noses in the expenses [...]
