If anyone else would like to write their own "tales of my drunken weekend" (either their own or mine) then I'll happily post it on the site. We could have a competition or something.
Mine started off on Thursday with a quick pint after work with Big Dave who was leaving work. It ended about 2 Oclock in Snobs being told by a bouncer not to be so loud that no-one could hear the music. Considering the music was by not-so-nu-metallers Dumbsaint then thats an acheivement. Well the four man mosh pit was a success.
And on Saturday was the event I feel we shall call "Hannah's Gathering." Pictures will be posted as soon as I can be bothered to get them developed and scanned. Anyone with any humourous recollections - no make that any recollections at all - can post them for the benefit of those who were and weren't there.
And I can't really let it pass without mentioning Brass Eye...........

Ooh ooh, its "tales of my drunk weekend time" again kids. Big massive shout out posse biatch shout to the boys who call themselves "Landspeed", the mingman fronted rock superstars who played their debut gig at the Wolverhampton City Bar. It was fucking hilarious is all i can say, the way the rain was pouring over the amps, it was a death trap waiting to happen. Unfortunately fudge didn't meet with any spinal tap style electrocutions and the boys played on.
Then it was the Academy again on Saturday and more drunken posturing. Word of warning: don't let the mingman and matt vickers loose in your kitchen, they'l concoct food only edible to BrundleFlies.
Well, as a result of all this I have had no sleep this weekend. So i'm going to collapse and die (finish of the vodka first) then sleep through work tomorrow.

I've stolen this from the NME.com news pages. More Brass Eye hysteria for you.
NME.COM can exclusively reveal details of the brand new episode of 'BRASS EYE', which hoaxes several well-known music personalities in order to mock the recent tabloid hysteria surrounding paedophiles.
The new, one-off episode of the Chris Morris show was pulled from the schedules at the last minute because Channel 4 said the show was not ready, although NME.COM understands the subject matter was deemed inappropriate as news programmes were carrying reports of two missing school girls at the time.
Fans of Morris immediately protested at the postponement, posting their complaints on various websites. A spokeswoman for Channel 4 confirmed that the episode is now set to be screened on July 26.
The new episode of the fake investigative news programme is possibly the most shocking yet. Morris tackles the hysteria surrounding paedophiles by hoaxing celebrities into supporting two campaigns - NO OFFENC and Nonce Sense.
Celebrities who are stung by Morris include Phil Collins, comedian and singer Richard Blackwood, pop journalist Kate Thornton, radio DJ Dr Fox and ex-footballer Gary Lineker.
NME.COM has been sent images of the episode, which is likely to attract huge controversy.
Much of the episode centres on fake risks posed by the Internet. Richard Blackwood is persuaded to tell viewers that if children touch a cartoon dog on their computer screen called Pandu a paedophile can become aroused, Phil Collins wears a t-shirt for the Nonce Sense campaign and Kate Thornton unwittingly describes a fake internet system used by paedophiles called HOECS - pronounced 'hoax'

This web-log thing hasn't been working for a while, so there's been no opportunity to tell you all about last weekend, the works-night-out which ended up in (shame) Rosies, the low-fi all-dayer at the Finn & firkin on Saturday.....Whatever, i'm sure you all have your own busy lives to lead without hearing about my drinking.
As for this site - 2 (yes 2) new games on the Mystery Man page!!

Well it turns out that the previous Brass Eye news is another Chris Morris jape. The show was always going to be pulled, and its not about paedophiles but how hysteria and bullshit can spread via the internet. Though thats probably crap aswell. Check out www.cookdandbombd.co.uk for the lowdown. On a similar censorship issue, the powers that be have asked me to withdraw Jon's Spazcat idea from my ideas page. I have had no choice but to comply.

Some BRASS EYE new courtesy of Jon and his Guardian. (That's the newspaper not the man who looks after Jon while he's in the big city). Oh, and also check out the ginger one's inspired vision on the ideas page.
Channel 4 has pulled a one-off special of its highly controversial Brass Eye series which is believed to have centred on the media's treatment of paedophiles.
The station is understood to have been unhappy with the timing of the broadcast in the wake of the disappearance of two children.
Since the decision to pull the show was taken, the body of schoolgirl Bunmi Shagaya, who went missing on a school trip to France, was found earlier today.
Another young girl, Danielle Jones, is still missing after she vanished on her way to school 15 days ago.
Comic satirist Chris Morris is renowned for making fun of taboo issues and Channel 4 insiders hint that this time he may have spoofed some of Fleet Street's most experienced journalists.
"It is worth waiting for. Chris Morris is always full of surprises, you will all be watching it," said one source.
The decision to pull the show was taken yesterday, and a Channel 4 manager told staff it was "too hot for Brass Eye at the moment".
Channel 4's website was this morning still advertising the one-off special of the show, which has been kept tightly under wraps.
But a Channel 4 spokeswoman confirmed that it would be replaced with a repeat of the famous "cake" brass eye, in which pundits were conned into condemning a fictitious new drug.
"We have moved the Brass Eye special further down the run of repeats," she said. "We were planning to show it tonight but I have been told it's not ready. We do not know what the exact content will be."
But sources say the much-anticipated one-off will be a satire on paedophilia and the hysterical reaction of the media.
It is not the first time Channel 4 has had last-minute second thoughts about broadcasting the controversial series, conceived by the comic satirist Chris Morris.
Four years ago a spoof about the Yorkshire Ripper was cut from the Brass Eye series on the orders of the then Channel 4 chief executive, Michael Grade.
The sketch showed how a well-known figure, whose identity has not been revealed, was duped into commenting on a fictitious plan to turn the Ripper story into a musical.
The banned scene is to be shown as part of the current series.

The footage is in the can for Tiny Blue Children's "Stronger" video. It'll be edited and maybe even put on the web as soon as I find out how to do it, and how to stop rob pestering me 'cos he's bored. Damn you Gaz and Alex with your "girlfriends."

There are some new links for you to look at today, including Al's favourite far-eastern football-fan. How is the ming-man's head by the way?
