The Well-Built Pie

Yes, I found my login info again!

Just on the off-chance that this turns out to be right, so I can go “a-ha! told you so!”, I think Chris Moyles and team will move to the now vacant Radio 2 Drive-time show. Maybe not until his current contract expires next year, but they’ll go.

This is one of those nice low-key safe predictions because a) in a year no-one will remember it and b) i’m fairly sure that nobody reading this will give much of a shit.

There are many reasons to take a hiatus from blogging, but probably the most fundamental, basic one is when you forget your login details to get into it.

More to follow, probably.

Do you remember the classic Amicus 1972 horror film, Tales From the Crypt?

If so, remember this bit - Tales From the Crypt Motorbike Chase?

Well, check this picture out!

Eeek!

It’s just starting to really sink in today - the BBC is doomed. Between now and the end, there is going to be a daily drip drip drip of fresh “scandal” and “outrage”, until finally the rock is worn away, the licensing funding scheme is dumped, and the slavering hordes of Murdoch come charging over the collapsing ramparts. There is now quite clearly a concerted agenda amongst many many people, to not rest until this end is achieved, and the assembled attackers are too powerful and wealthy for there to be any other outcome. It may take a while, but it’s coming.

So if, like me, you happen to think that the BBC is one of the most incredible things in the history of ever, make the most of the (increasingly watered-down) content while it lasts, because the future’s Sky-shaped, and full of adverts.

And steel yourself for tomorrows Sachs/Clarkson/Moyles/GollywogGate.

And the day after that. And the day after that….

For live, as-it-happens updates on what i’m not doing, i’ve now got one of them Twitter things (well, i’ve now got ANOTHER one, but I know the password for this one, and plan to put actual things in it, not made-up stuff).  If you’re into that sort of thing, i’m Jem5×5. Also, the Twitters will cross-populate to my Facebook status, so you may see them there also.

The internet - propagating pointless bollocks for way too many years.

Someone really needs to tell Lily Allen that “Common People” by Pulp isn’t a lifestyle guide.

This flash of inspiration came to me today:

Woolworths, if you’re listening - OPEN A BANK!

Then you just transfer all your debts from your retail operation to your bank, and the Government will bail you out! They’re good like that, they look after banks - it’s just retail and manufacturing that they couldn’t give a flying fuck about.

Because it’s cool, and because it also gives me a chance to test embedding a YouTube, check this out:
