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.

That wasn't me with the Detroit etc. nonsense. Postal address is Flat 1, 12-13 Louvaine Road, Clapham, SW11 2AQ. Abi's married surname is a mystery to me (despite being at the wedding) but his first name's Graeme, if that's any help. I know you wanted me to email you Nick, but this way maybe I'll get loads of Christmas cards I wasn't expecting...By the way, I don't know your address either, despite having been there. Must stop now as each keystroke reveals further details of my uselessness.

Twelve celebrities from around the world were each put into a small hole in the ground for a period of four months and the results were judged at the weekend.

Besides... our dog uses the dog bowl and the cat uses the cat bowl. Plus we love our pain free, relatively cheap, minimum luggage holidays, but you guys go ahead!

Arrh, Rugby World Cup final. Fond memories. Just had 2 weeks in Florida, knowing that after all these years as a rugby fan and player, the boys would choose the year that I'm in the worlds most rugby UNfriendly country to get into the final!! Damn. Still we did our research, discovered a pub called the Cricketers (English run) that would be showing the final. I thought I'd swallow the 20 bucks entrance fee and got up at 3am to get down there for the 4.15 kick-off (now that's dedication). The place was rammed! They had already turned away 200 people and we discover that there were only 2 places in the whole of Florida showing the game!! Nightmare. Fortunately, it being Florida and all, the pub had no walls (?), so we stood with about a 100 other Brits (and 1 quiet Aussie) watching from the outside. Terrible view, but fantastic atmosphere. Not a drop of booze in site (just some caffiene and bacon sarnies). Unlike the septics to miss out on a money making opportunity, so who's up for opening a British themed pup in Florida called The Madhatter, complete with Daveys Quiz Nites and regular showings of Alls Well As You Like It?

Regarding EDINBURGH 2004. The dates this year are Sat 7th - Sat 14th August 2004. This may suit people a little better as they won't have to take 2 Fridays off work! I have 5 flats as usual, which are closer to the centre this year (in Cowgate). Let me know if you are interested in coming, usual price - around £95 per room, make your own way there, self-catering, etc. I will start hassling for deposits early next year.

Children will also not eat from cat feeders whilst you are away enjoying yourself nor can they be put into a cattery for £5 per night! Having said that Congratulations to J+T and I'm just sorry that Jol will only be able to buy nappies and baby food from now on, rather than power tools and bottles of wine!

That's rock and roll kids.... Extract below from a news webiste. Very 'Spinal Tap'. Ex-Van Halen frontman knocks himself out of tour David Lee Roth has cancelled the rest of his US tour after injuring himself performing "a very fast, complicated 15th-century samurai move" during a recent performance. The former Van Halen frontman, who is known for his athleticism, was performing a gig in Philadelphia when he cracked his face with a long piece of wood. "It was an incident onstage where he was doing a kung fu manouvere and he got hit with a staff that he uses," Roth's spokesman Todd Brodginski said. The 47-year-old singer needed 21 stitches on his face because of the accident in Philadelphia. He has called off seven dates of the tour of clubs and theaters because of the injury. Two dates had been cancelled because of Hurricane Isabel. Roth has said in a statement he is finding it hard to sing and dance with the injury, but that the dates may be rescheduled next year. Mr Brodginski said sales were strong on the tour before the injury.

True story, although perhaps a little sick. I was caught by a speed camera about 5 years ago, driving in my car, whilst giving my mother a lift. She died less than a week later, the letter arrived and I stated that she was driving and produced a copy of the death certificate. They cancelled it, no questions asked. Oh well, she would have seen the funny side of it.

(UNLESS you could prove that you dont actually know who was driving.....:-) )

Steve F - Sect 1 of the RTA 1988 says that The NIP (notice of intended prosecution) must be served within 14 days of the offence being committed. If you are not the regsitered keeper - then it may take longer to reach you; and tough nipples as is said. Also, plod isnt responsible for delays in post. However if you are the Reg Keeper, and you receive the NIP significantly after 14 days - keep the franked envelope as evidence and make your submission. have you actually got the NIp of just a 'who was driving' note? An excuse for not giving an NIP within 14days is to ascertain driver details. I havent delt with this for a while - but i think my facts are correct. Basically - try it on, see what happens, but expect to pay the fine! anyway - enuff seriousness now! Wibble Wibble

Apologies for getting serious for a moment, but do we have any lawyers on the network or anyone with experiences of getting points on yer driving licence? I (apparently) was photographed on the M25 on the 24th August doing 50 in a 40 roadwork stretch. I only received the letter asking me to ID the driver on the 8th October (over 6 weeks later!)

Glad you had a nice time in Canada, Nick. Which bit were you in? Very lucky to see a bear as the season is quite late and they've usually settled down for their winter nap by now. I've just got back (to LA) from New York. Our rental Ford Explorer was hit up the arse by a taxi and then sprayed with an impressive amount of projectile vomit whilst we were having a few drinks at a bar on the lower East-side. The bar was playing some great early '80's British music from the end of punk / start of new romantics era though. Those New Yorkers......

Sadly back in Co. Durham today. Canada was much nicer, but I guess that is the whole point of holidays. Failed to shoot any bears, but did learn one interesting fact. When a bear runs at you (about 30mph) if it is a grizzly, play dead as they are only interested in a fight. If it is a black bear however the advice is the opposite, stand up, shout at it, run at it etc. It is very important that you make the right classification of bears in that split second, or you die a gruesome death. I would start brushing up on your bear skills now. The grey squirrel came across from north america and you can't escape them now, it could be bears next.

When you saw the Black Bear did it chase you? Did you run downhill very fast and laugh as the stupid creature went 'a-tumbling' being that its smaller front legs create an imbalance (see howbearswork.com), or did you just shoot it*?

Really rather pissed off that we can't make the Speakeasy gig, but we are in Canada at the time. Have a fantastic night, and congrats on Speakeasy reaching 10 years. Can't believe they played at our wedding 5 years ago - and I thought they were old then!

I agreed to buy a house yesterday. It's got three bedrooms. It's in Waterlooville. It comes with a shed. Let the months of legal wrangling begin...

Thanks Jo for your message - I hope it's okay to mention the sad news about Kathryn here as most people who knew here ( I think from the madhatters crowd it was You, Me, Sion, Bruce, Kath, Dave, Rich and Phil) will have been informed by e-mail.

I have some news about Kathryn Ormston (Production Engineering 1989 - 1993). Please email me for further information.

You're not mad Dave. I understand it's typically a dagger which one has visions of in a fit of insanity. Although there was that early draft of Macbeth... 'Is this a video mixing desk, input sources 2 laptops and 2 VCRs, which I see before me, the handle pointed towards my hand?' That might be cause for concern.

Happy Birthday Q. Now, can anyone please lend or hire me a Video mixing desk? Input Sources: 2 laptops and 2 VCRs. Surely this is possible- am I mad?

If anyone is into politically inspiring dramas about battle of one man against ignorance and the system, then come up to sunny Stone to see 'Enemy of the People'. Revellers latest jolly little number about oh..... I don't know. Some bloody Norwegian. I mean don't ask me, I'm just directing the tosh. Translated by monkeys in 1910, its not the lightest affair, but entertainin...... oh who am I kidding. The poster is good though..... I'm not doing very well at selling this, am I?

I went to see the people next door, but when I offered them £10 to put on a show for me they threw me out and called the police. What is this country coming to?

I can heartily endorse Jo's recommendation for ''The People Next Door'. I saw it up at the Traverse in Edinburgh and I would recommend. Powerful, funny and surprising.

For anyone who missed "The People Next Door" at Edinburgh, it opens at the Theatre Royal, Stratford, East London some time next week. Not sure of performances times or ticket prices - but the box office should have full details on 020 8534 0310.

I thought Gasping had a more fundamental moral perspective, which lent it a sharper satirical edge. And more swearing.

Thank you for all the nice comments and wishings of luck. Shame i won't see you all at the auditions but understand about the long distances. But would love to see you all at the show itself (auditions permitting!) the dates will be the 3rd - 6th December, so put them in the Diaries. May be it would inspire more of you to audition next time!

I can assure you that I may not have been fat, old and grumpy then but I am most certainly now. Gasping was fun, but then Popcorn is a great book as well. I haven't read the play so can't really comment - but I sadly don't remember the being any fat old men in it? Probably no point in me auditioning therefore - that and the six hundred mile round trip for rehearsals. Best of luck with it, rumours up my way were that the last Act 2 show was excellent.

I read 'Popcorn' and thought it was good. I haven't read 'Gasping' but maybe I just will one of these days. I am certainly interested in reading 'Ditto'. Hope the audition goes well tonight, if I were you I wouldn't give parts to... oh me and my big mouth.

Hello all. This is my first time writing on here. Just to say I did read Gasping and personnaly did not think it was that funny to read. But maybe i should have seen it when you guys did it - it sounded like fun. If anyone else is interested in auditioning for Popcorn it is not too late, the auditions were rescheduled for tonight.

I have to agree that I think Gasping is a funnier play.- really enjoyed Nick's rendition of a fat, grumpy old man. Must be a great actor - he's neither fat nor old!! Only jesting Nick - happy birthday for Wednesday.

Thanks to Vantage Pictures, I have seen video evidence of my acting ability. That's why I want to be a director - do as I say not as I do. Dave Wid - seen the star wars kid a couple of weeks ago - very funny.

That's a good point Nick. Act 2 people: Gasping is funnier than Popcorn. Do that instead. Who agrees?

I remember doing "Gasping" in Hutton Hall for Freshers Week a few years / decades back. I seem to remember Dave Stevens being fantastic, and me being a fat, grumpy old man.
