That was a show-stopping contribution. Where is everybody? Hi, Carrie. I didn't know busy teachers had time to inhabit chat rooms. And don't worry about the blog, there's been a reluctance to contribute so far. My excuse is that I've got nothing to say. But what have more interesting Madhatters got to say for themselves?

Dave, I did take your advice and looked up the Nimoy & Shatner album, very amusing. Were you one of the Amazon customers that also bought albums by David Hasselhoff, The Buggles or the Goodies.

Off to New York eh? Well, have fun. As for me I'm gonna stay in and listen to my new Album 'Spaced Out - The Very Best Of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner'. I suggest curious hatters look it up on Amazon. Marvellous...

BLog | 17/11/2005, 16:27
I believe it's a truncation of the term 'Web Log'. Seems this was a little too long for some folks in conversation so they joined the words together and got rid of the 'We' at the front, i.e. 'BLog'. And the Blog was born...

It's OK. I've just looked it up. And who said that MH couldn't be edumacational? I believe a Blog is derived from the phrase Web Log (see what they did there?) That's as far as my knowledge on the matter goes. It's another (yes one more.... my 4 e-mail adresses, MSN messenger and this chat forum are obviously not enough ways of communicating via the net!!) vehicle for us all to 'stay in touch' via the www!

Hi Steve - er, I haven't gone away. I think people are taking a sabbatical from the site at the mo. Don't know why but I reckon they are waiting for a relaunch with something more whizzy and interactive... perhaps they are feeling the site is a bit long in the tooth. Hope not, it's all about chat don't you know... please people let us know you're there!

Illegal imports of mic stands and general PA 'gear' from the Russian black market. The original exchange was made under the cover of Robbie 'Fingers' McCarthys wedding. Been holding the 'gear' since then, but the heat is getting too intense to hold on any longer! A switch has to be made. Plus, I haven't really got the room!

Hey Dave. No worries. Sunday is a bit tricky. Rehearsing with a blues band I've just started playing with! And the rest of the day is a bit tight. Maybe one day next week? If all else fails, I think I might be back to footie next week so could bring the gear along there.

Are you really best mates with David Cameron? Dave Wid - what do I have to do to get money out of you? And are free any weekend soon? Steve French - can I come round and pick up the gear? All this and more will be solved in next week's issue of MH.

The Phantom Raspbeery Blower of Old London Town
Fork 'andles | 4/10/2005, 9:27
British TV comedy actor Ronnie Barker, who starred in Porridge and The Two Ronnies, has died aged 76. One of the most respected and loved comedy performers of his generation, he was best known as one half of a double act with Ronnie Corbett. But he also proved himself as an outstanding sitcom actor and script writer, winning four Bafta TV awards in the 1970s. He died at home peacefully on Monday, his agent told BBC News 24. Last year he was awarded a lifetime achievement Bafta for his TV work. That led to a return for the Two Ronnies on BBC One, 34 years after the show first appeared on TV screens and 17 years after he had first retired from show-business. Barker also delivered a number of dramatic performances, most recently as Winston Churchill's manservant in the award-winning TV film The Gathering Storm and in HBO film My House in Umbria.

Imagine the meeting that led to that, 'hey everyone, wouldn't it be great if we posted on chat rooms pretending to be members of the public and generated some hype about our... (insert inappropriate company, charity, etc. here)". I'm particularly astounded that this is for a supposedly reputable organisation like the Battersea Dog's Home. Ah well, that's marketing for you. Anyway, Battersea is right on the river bank so if they don't have enough money to keep all those dogs, maybe they should bag a few up and dump them in the Thames.

Australian police working in Aboriginal communities have withdrawn new uniforms after they appeared to poke fun at many Aborigines' problems with alcohol. New South Wales police ordered 50 green vests for Aboriginal Community Liaison Officers - known as ACLOs. But the vests arrived bearing a much more insulting acronym - ALCO, used all over Australia as slang for alcoholic. The error was missed until it was almost too late, prompting embarrassed apologies from senior police chiefs. ACLOs are deployed to be a visible presence in Aboriginal communities with the aim of calming trouble and easing tensions. Instead officers almost took to the streets clad in a luminous insult aimed squarely at the people they hoped to placate.

It's like Concord, one of the few times humans have achieved a feat and given up. Sorry to waffle but really excited.

No Dave, it isn't fair, that's why Monday was a draw not a win. However the draw meant we won the series of 5 games - 2 draws, 2 to us and 1 to them.

No subject title | 14/9/2005, 12:41
Eh, that's not really very fair is it? They didn't have chance to bat a second innings. It's just not cricket. It's like only being allowed to play one half of a football match. So we won by luck, not skill then?

Le Burge
Final innings | 14/9/2005, 9:28
The problem was, Dave, that the Aussies only had about 1/2 an hour of play left, equating to about 10 overs, to get the runs - 35 an over, anyone? Oh, and it was almost dark so they couldn't actually see the ball travelling at 90mph from 22 yds away.

Giving up | 13/9/2005, 16:25
What I didn't understand about yesterday was why the Australians just gave up? Surely they could have still won the game. They had an innings left over. Now I'm no rocket scientist but wouldn't they have only had to get 350 runs to win in their second innings? Absolute madness. Did they take a bribe?

Leg Before Wicket: If the batsman misses the ball with his bat, but intercepts it with part of his body when it would otherwise have hit the wicket, and provided several other conditions (described below) are satisfied. An umpire must adjudicate such a decision, and will only do so if the fielding team appeal the decision. This is a question asked of the umpire, usually of the form ``How's that?'' (or ``Howzat?''), and usually quite enthusiastic and loud. If the ball bounces outside an imaginary line drawn straight down the pitch from the outside edge of leg stump, then the batsman cannot be out LBW, no matter whether or not the ball would have hit the stumps. If the batsman attempts to play a shot at the ball with his bat (and misses) he may only be given out LBW if the ball strikes the batsman between imaginary lines drawn down the pitch from the outside edges of leg and off stumps (ie. directly in line with the wicket). If the batsman does not attempt to play the ball with his bat, then he may be given out LBW without satisfying this condition, as long as the umpire is convinced the ball would have hit the wicket. If the ball has hit the bat before the hitting the batsman, then he cannot be given out LBW.

That's all very well.....but what about LBW?

Slon
No subject title | 13/9/2005, 12:52
It's all very simple. You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he is out. When they are all out, the side that's been out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out, he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who are all out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.

With you there Sion, Mr Bronson was the face of authority in the early Grange Hill. I always thought I was a lot younger when he was on TV, but apparently he was in GH from 85-89. Perhaps they should bring out a tribute DVD of his best moments in Grange Hill, Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
By the way, saw Alex McK on TV (C4 - Wakey, Wakey campers). How could he have been anything but a redcoat! Looking forward to seeing it next week, it's surely only a matter of time before he 'ballroom dances'. I suggest all Madhatters of a certain genre check it out.

Tomorrow I am responsible for the official "Welcome Home" party for Big Brother winner Anthony, to his home town of Consett. He is being named an official Ambassador for the town, getting a certificate / freedom of the town. It took me 20 mins to talk the Leader of the Council out of a open top bus tour for Christ's sake. Is this what my professional life has come to? Did I really spend 4 years at university to arse lick around a geordie halfwit? I may just end it now. Pass me that hosepipe, the cars started. p.s.

Steve
No subject title | 25/7/2005, 16:15
Maybe he's hoping someone will treat it the way Rodriguez treated Miller's Sin City. There's always hope. On the shot man, surely they looked more official than the general public with a gun and surely they shouted something like 'Stop, Police'? In broad daylight, if I saw someone with a gun, shouting some kind of warning, I'm afraid my first thought would be they're coppers, not a gang of hitmen about to bump me off while I'm doing my shopping?

John
Not Si H's favourite movie | 25/7/2005, 15:37
I had a unique thought about the terrorist suspect who was shot, until Mikey H turned out to have had it as well. There could be several other explanations why the man ran. 1) He didn't realise the (plainclothes) officers were policemen and ran from apparent gunmen. 2) He thought they were talking to someone else and so ran from an apparently dangerous scene. 3) He'd been involved in some other crime recently. 4) He did what I'd have done faced with a group of blokes producing weapons and screaming at him, and run away, regardless of what it was they were shouting.

Steve

V for Vendetta is one of the best graphic novels of all time. Innocent people shouldn't run away from the police, especially when things are the way they are at the moment It's just plain stupid.

Badger
No subject title | 25/7/2005, 14:35
Yes, it's a classic 80's graphic novel (one of my brother's favourites) by Alan Moore which the Wachowski brothers have turned into a movie. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman star. Recall that the St Albans posse went to Hatfield House quite a bit for banquets so just thought I'd mention it.

Sorry to gate crash the Dave-Slon&Dino show, but if I was Brazilian who had been brought up on the streets of Brazil and someone pulled a gun out infront of me I think 'run like f***' would be my natural instinct - I guess it's a very regrettable difference between the relatively respectful/trusting culture we have in the UK against the less controlled culture he was used to in Brazil.

That's the thing Sion - I haven't heard any mention of this man's actions in the media. The coverage is all about the fact that an innocent man has been shot. Yet, it is weird that we aren't being presented with a balanced viewpoint on the events. Why normally inquisitive news networks that pour over stories in so much detail don't address the bleedin' obvious, I do not know. I will state again one more time for the record. I know the outcome of what happened. But, I want to know what the Brazillian guy actually did when approached by police. Then, and only then do I feel I can form a balanced view on how the police acted.
There's too much judging going on without enough information. I suppose that's 24hr news coverage for you... I seem to remember getting irate in a similar manner when Ken Livingstone was acted for his so called Nazi jibe. No facts, just knee-jerk headlines to increase media circulation. He hadn't actually said anything racist or offensive at all.
Anyway, the man on the street is getting angrier because he is not being presented with the facts. Well, I am anyway. Look out media tycoons, middle England is fed up of being fed the same old clap-trapp

Slon
No subject title | 25/7/2005, 11:57
And he must've been pegging it a bit. They say he was chased into the station where he "leaped over the barrier" and was shot on the train. That's got to be a fair distance. He was clearly trying to escape and must've had a guilty conscience about something. I wondered if he hadn't understood what they were saying to him but he worked here. He must've had a reasonable grasp of the language, surely?

dave
Suspect shooting | 25/7/2005, 11:31
I have been listening to the news coverage over and over again and there has been no mention of 'why the guy reacted as he did'. Surely, the question on peoples minds as they watch the reports! Why don't journalists ask this simple question, I don't understand? Maybe if we knew what he actually did to warrant being shot we could at least make a bit more of an informed judgement about the incident. People seem to be condemning or supporting the police without knowing any of the facts. If I had been an armed officer confronted with a potential Terrorist suspect, who came out of a 'watched' house, who was wearing a padded jacket with wires coming out (is this true?) and who ran when told to stop, I would have probably done the same thing - although maybe with 4 less gun-shots. If however he was minding his own business and was hunted down then that's different. He was still running though, apparently from eye-witness accounts.

Slon
No subject title | 25/7/2005, 10:50

Terrible cock-up obviously but would I want them to do it again to an "idiot who runs from armed police, wearing a padded jacket on a hot day in July, sporting wires hanging out his back pocket, vaulting over barriers into the tube system...scene of carnage two weeks' previously"? Frankly, yes.

Obviously I put the last comment in before it came to light the guy was an innocent idiot who runs from armed police, wearing a padded jacket on a hot day in July, sporting wires hanging out his back pocket, vaulting over barriers into the tube system...scene of carnage two weeks' previously...regrettable death...but our Police still did the right thing thing in trying to protect the public and I hope they don't fail to do the same again - next time he may not be as innocent and many people may die if they don't act. I don't think suicide bombers stop to help police with their enquiries...I may be wrong...

Just remove the NOSPAM for my email address - if Liverpool St is open then I can usually get to Enfield Town. Thanks anyway - much appreciated. Working from home today - decided it would be more productive.

Dino, Jo was gonna start walking home at 3.30 (no other option she thought), but heard a rumour that Liverpool St was gonna open at 4pm. They opened up at 3.55 and she got on a pretty empty train to Enfield Lock. I always pick her up, so if there are ever any probelms like that again (which there won't be...cunts) if you can get to Liverpool St and get a train to Enfield Lock, I could always drop you home. I'll get Davey to get me your number or e-mail address.

Sorry about the swear word. Two people from my office were hospitalised. Fucking cunts.

Guess you all forgot about me...missed the carnage by a stroke of luck by 15 mins, and got to work ok. Getting home was a bit more of a challenge, but 1.5 hrs walk from Paddington to Kings X was rewarded by the opening of the suburban services to Enfield Chase. Cunts.

John, miss you and loved your retorts to the Insulter, long may your swearing continue. RE: London 2012, Slon, I know where you're coming from but at least there is a point to having the Olympics as opposed to the rather pointless Millenium Dome, besides isn't it great that the French have been put back in their place, the arrogant sods. Psi, how will this fuck your job up?

The Ponderer
No subject title | 6/7/2005, 18:38
I pondered that since the Olympics hasn't made any money since Los Angeles, why we didn't give it to the frogs. I'd pay to see their economy plummet under the burden of higher taxation and the building of 'white elephants' as that gentleman so aptly put it. Not to mention the added burden of trying to get to work in London while it is on - but then everyone could move to Milton Keynes for the period and then the whole thing will take on a whole new meaning...bit like peering through the bottom of a trainspotter's worn pocket.

Indeed Dave. Though I am concerned about the costs to the tax payer. Having examined the cost estimates calculated by... by.... some economists, I think, the final costs could be .... well indeed .... more than a bit.

I am highly tempted by the Comic Strip Presents series...one of my favourite TV moments is the DJ 'scratching' his way through his record selection at a disco, and from the same programme, Robbie Coltrane marching out onto the breakwater while the waves crash around his feet! I forget the name of the song that plays in the background, but - Superb!
