By the way, has anyone seen Dave's squeeze album??

I've got some good new plans for this site, however I need to replace some of the significant news stories that got lost over the past. Can everyone think of significant things that have happened to them over the past 4 years prefereably with a picture and send it to me. I am actually being serious now. Really. Send stuff to dave.patrick@wellstudio.co.uk. Oh and have a lovely Friday

Thomas recieved far too many Easter Eggs, and I did what any responsible father would have done and helped him eat them. We divided them up on body weight pro-rata. Thomas had a small Kinder, and I ended up with 14 different sorts of Bob The Builder egg.

An additional gripe about Sky One is that they show a 5 minute trail of 24 an hour before the tx...stop it! Hello Nick, did you get lots of easter eggs or rather did Thomas eat them all!? Dave...are you feeling sad?

Slon
No subject title | 16/4/2004, 11:39
It was bad enough, although not surprising, that Sky should cater to this kind of "really, who gives a damn" kind of programming, but was it necessary to have an advert for the show in the corner of the screen throughout 24? Rant mumble rant...

If you really want to subscribe to a TV service that gives you channels that show old BBC programmes (as opposed to watching them on the BBC in the first place) and repeat showings of Ch4 progs with 24-hr big-brother, then the TopUpTV service works with old On-digital boxes and card-equiped integrated TVs.

In case anyone else is interested, the company that allows you to increase the number of TV channels for those with Freeview that Dino was alluding can be found at www.topup.tv sadly it does not have Sky One, however there are a few good TV channels in there.

Thanks Dave, sadly Freeview doesn't have Sky One or E4 which is a real minus point against Freeview...but thanks for the advice.

dave
Sky | 13/4/2004, 17:46
Ken - why not get Freeview? It's a one off payment of around £50 and... er hold on, that sounds like an advertising campaign. Actually, Ken - you should be supporting the Beeb by getting Freeview, not crippling it by piling cash into Murdoch's coffers, who wouldn't hesitate to unemploy you, whilst pursuing his wider goal of gloabal media domination. Yeah, Freeview is good and doesn't cost £400 a year unlike subscription to Sky.

Loved Van Halen when he was the lead singer, I didn't think that they were as good with Sammy Hagar on vocals. Anyone checked out the Channel 7 website? Doesn't Richard Plamer look like the Lord of the good alien race from Galaxy Quest?!

dave
Geoff | 8/4/2004, 16:58
How do you know it's the same Geoff Barton, Mike? It's a very common name and his understanding of rock will over qualify him as the Sports Desk editor. Anyway, I can't stand to think of music journo's falling on hard times, so have a look at another Geoff http://www.geoffbarton.co.uk/ or marvel at the Geoff who is is Professor of Bioinformatics and co-director of the Post Genomics and Molecular Interactions Centre. In fact let's proclaim 'Geoff Barton' week. Mike - it's allowed to look at your bosses arse, helps you relate to them as a normal person. I don't speak to anybody all day and as I work for myself I find myself longing to stare at any part of the anatomy of another human being (excluding Hopes).

Badger
No subject title | 8/4/2004, 16:54
Mike - seeing as you mentioned him, I saw David Lee Roth play the Hammersmith Apollo a couple of weeks ago. He's still a fantastic frontman and was merrily handing out bottles of JD to the crowd. He did a very impressive two hour set with the first half being classic Van Halen and the second half being all his solo stuff. Top night out and he still gets girls in the audience sitting on their boyfriends shoulders flashing at him. Took me right back to the good old days. Fancy a trip to the Agincourt sometime???

Mikey H
No subject title | 8/4/2004, 16:37
John, firstly shame on you for thinking of your boss in that way...although it may get you a promotion.... and secondly yes it is the same Geoff Barton who went onto Kerrang and is now with Classis Rock.... a fine and upstanding magazine that caters for all of us that can remember the NWOBHM!!!!

John
Boss | 8/4/2004, 16:21
Talking of my boss, I've just looked at her arse. Is that illegal?

John
Geoff Barton | 8/4/2004, 16:20
Mikey H: Is that Geoff Barton who was later editor of Kerrang! magazine? If so, I used to work with him - he fell on hard times and was the sports editor of the local rag I started on. He was a fantastic guy. Ken, I'd be well up for Shaun Of The Dead tomorrow, if you just arrange the day off with my boss.

Oh the Nostalgia..... dust off those old sleeveless denim jackets and studded belts again and if I could grow my hair again I would!!!! and you already know that NWOBHM stands for "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" but did you know it is an acronym formed at Sounds magazine by Geoff Barton at some time in the late 70s. It was probably meant as a throwaway statement but it caught on and now we're stuck with it. It referred to a merging of punk attitude with heavy metal/rock influences and it attracted those who didn't associate with the punk ethos but had become bored with the lack of edge & bite being shown by established rock groups..... I'll stop now

dave
Old Rockers | 8/4/2004, 14:49
Thanks for that Mike, Madhatters gets 5%! Cool. For some reason I was looking at UFO albums the other day and found out exactly the same thing. I used to have The Wild, Wiling and Innocent - on something called a record I believe? I could talk for hours about the NWOBHM so I will. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal started in the early eighties, with bands such as Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Saxon, Samson, etc. For already established bands such as Whitesnake, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy and AC/DC found their profiles heightened and the british public started going crazy for Heavy Metal... maybe I should continue this nostalgia elsewhere.

Talking of old rock bands Dave, I listened to the new UFO album the other day and Messieurs Way and Mogg are still kicking out some good tunes, but the CD that is now in the Car all the time is Honking on Bobo - the new Aerosmith 'back to the basics' CD- Mr Hopes (both of them) will probably love it!

Photos required for a BBC trail programme | 23/3/2004, 12:36
Hello all, I have been asked to source photos for a trailer for a new BBC 3 comedy show, we're after photos of holidays gone wrong e.g. sunburnt faces, waiting at lost luggage counter, half built hotels, stays next to a building site and pouring rain on the beach, etc - you know the type. If you don't mind your bad memories being shown to ohh, a couple of hundreds of viewers. please could you email anything suitable to ken.rodrigues@bbc.co.uk by the end of the week, thanks.

Mobile Phone Scam | 8/3/2004, 10:52
Really wish I'd thought of this but keep an eye out for this which looks like it's going to become pretty common. This is a genuine scam and not your run of the mill scaremongering. A missed call will show on your mobile phone. The number is 0709 020 3840. The last four numbers may vary, but the first four numbers will remain the same. If you call this number back, you will be charged £50.00 per minute. This is completely legal. Don't call back any numbers with an 0709 prefix, as you will be liable for the cost of the call.

Nice Sell Gary, but surely you are mistaken - this most definitely is one for the Suicidal. Although celebrating the beauty of life in the adversity of death, it surely would only be the suicidal able to cope as they would have already made the decision to end it all. It's those who are teetering on the edge whom this play may nudge over the edge that you should warn. As for coming, I'd like to but I think the Simpsons may be on - I'll get back to you.

Wit | 27/2/2004, 19:22
Hi all. coming up soon at the Hampton Hill Playhouse (www.ttc-hhp.org.uk) is a production of 'Wit' which I am lightng - of course. Here is the summary: Vivan Bearing, Ph.D., a renowned specialist in the brilliantly difficult Holy Sonnets of John Donne, has been diagnosed with stage four metastatic ovarian cancer. Her approach to her illness is not unlike her approach to Donne: aggressively probing and intensely rational. But during the course of illness - and her stint as a prize patient - she comes to reassess her life and her work with profundity and unbearably moving wry humour... If you reckon you can handle that then let me know and I'll get tickets. Performances form 8th to 13th March. £8 each - 2 for 1 on Monday 8th. Not for the suicidal!

I feel that I really should point everyone in the direction of the news article 'Benson plays psychotic killer' over on the right there. Go on have a butchers - it even made the St Albans Observer. Also, I feel that I should point out the demise of the 'e-mail text field' in the form post box. Its demise was alas, inevitable. Its underuse and general annoyingness has been replaced by something even more useless - the 'subject' box. Although you could answer to this post by typing in 're:Brian the Psycho', it's now more about the 'e-mail field has vanished'. Goodnight.

Hi Everyone. This is a shameless plug for 'Popcorn' as tickets are now on sale. It will be held on 11th-14th February at the Trestle Arts Base in St Albans - see www.act2productions.co.uk for more details. Two of the lead roles are actually being played by long-standing Mad Hatters - Steve P will be playing a sleazy Hollywood exec, and Brian is a psycho with a gun ... sorry, PLAYING a psycho with a gun. You can buy tickets via the box office on 01707 281127, or reserve them via Naomi on 07967 356705. Hope you can all make it.

Just on the Dave acting talent Issue - can I draw your attention to the 1995 EU Directive 158 Section 67 Paras 5.7 - 5.9 (Inclusive). This piece of legislation STRICTLY FORBIDS David Patrick from ever again taking part in a staged play, cinema or television-broadcasted production, or spoken vocal performance in a radio play. It was introduced by overwhelming majority after David's questionable 1994 appearance in the UAC Film Production film 'Friday Knight' although other causes of the law relate to appearances in 'The Boyfriend', and a number of murdered plays in the West Country. However, it should also be pointed out that I received a 6 month ban for directing Friday Knight.

To anyone and everyone who sees this message board, Unfortunately, before we have even got fully underway the person we had playing Dr Whackoff has had to pull out due to other committments. This regretably leaves us with out a Whackoff. If there is anyone out there who lives in the Hatfield/St Albans area, or who wouldn't mind traveling to this area a couple of evenings a week to rehearse between now and when the performance is on in May, and is interested in playing the part of Dr Whackoff, please could you contact me ASAP. If you are interested, or would just like to find out more call me on 07967 356705. Thanks Naomi. xx

Great idea to play 'First Impressions' with a 'Simpsons Top Trump' pack. Try it, see what Simpsons character your friends see you as. It's a great way to start a fight.

Brian said i should try and get you to audition Dave, I think you should, and the fact that you were tempted means you definately should. I am sure everyone would agree as they would love to see you up on stage again. As for having the dancing grace of a gazelle (either dead or a live) wouldn't necessarily put you in bad stead for some of the roles. Check out www.saucyjackandthespacevixens.com to find out more about the show. I think the best way to describe it would be that it looks a lot of "fun". As for Popcorn, the show dates are 11th - 14th of February and it is worth seeing just to see Brian as a psychotic - it is quite worrying how well he can portray one!

I unfortunately have the dancing grace of a gazelle (dead) but I would be happy to come and see it. Unless you have any roles which don't necessitate moving in any way shape of form, I would have to decline. I missed it in Edinburgh a while back - I heard it was very good? By the way, when is POPCORN? I'm sure we can get a load of Madhatters to see it, especially given Brian is playing the psychotic.

I've heard that spook SPECS story before, in fact I seem to remember it doing the rounds about 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's one of those plausible Internet stories that does the rounds because it has a grain of truth. If it was true however and implemented without warning, many people would lose their licenses in one trip! The public would be up in arms and the police would be swamped. Anyway, although the police may have the technology in place to do it, they make much too much money from speed cameras. I would suspect that the SPECS rumours may have been circulated to make the motorist feel happier that they only have to deal with speed cameras.

Slon - thanks for the info, but the speed camera notice has been flying around here for months - we suspect is was initiated by the police themeselves - I use the M4 every day and can confirm that there are no speed camera warning signs at present - which have to be in place before you can be issued with a ticket. If the cameras were turned on last Tuesday I'm f*%ked and can kiss goodbye to my licence!!!!!

Slon 13/1/2004, 12:39
Email Not Given
FYI: Speed Cameras Those new electronic signs on the M4 were switched on last Tuesday. The Bad news is that they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras. SPECS is a computer-camera based system. As you go past the sign a digital camera reads your number plate. When you go past the next sign your number plate is read again. The computer 'knows' how far apart the signs are so it can work out your average speed between the two, or three or four. The system is fully automatic and will issue a ticket without any form of human intervention. It does this for every single vehicle that passes. You will not know you've been caught as the cameras don't flash. They work 24/7, 365 days a year, and theoretically, there's absolutely no limit on the number of tickets that the system can issue. The whole section of the M4 between Theale (J12) and Membury Services (between 14 and 15) is wired, both ways. The system is set to trigger a ticket at 78 mph. Radar detectors will be of no use as SPECS is entirely passive, there is no radar or laser beam to detect.

I'm still reeling from Father Ted not being in the top ten. The Vicar of Dibley was bumped up so that Carol Vorderman could present one of the upcoming top ten hour long shows. Only Fools, Father Ted and Blackadder are going to be the top 3 IMHO. Glad to see that at least Black Books got a good rating in the top 100. That will be a classic in a few years, along with The League of Gentlemen once it starts being repeated a lot I reckon. My top five would have to be Father Ted, Red Dwarf, The Young Ones, The League of Gentlemen, I'm Alan Partridge.

Ho Ho Ho and a Merry Christmas to all. I have just seen Santa 'round these parts and have told him to head south to rest of you. Sadly after visiting Newcastle his sleigh is rather light as the Geordies nicked most of the contents.
