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.

An interesting album choice, Dave. "Star Trekking....Across the USA..", etc.

dave
Wow | 25/11/2005, 13:57
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...

dave
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!

Gear! | 27/10/2005, 10:21
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.

Hi Dave - if you did a bank transfer thanks, just drop me an e-mail and tell me otherwise I won't know. Steve, sorry I am not about much at the mo, but will be on Sunday - perhaps you'd like to come over and we could go out for Dinner at The Waterend Barn (can eat outside if you want to bring Jarvis).

Hey Davey. You are indeed welcome to come over any time and get the gear. Alternatively, I could pop over with Jarvis and make the intros to Hannah. Or if you want your house to remain hair free bring the family to me. It's up to you! Any days this week good for you?

dave
Hi there | 21/10/2005, 10:34
Ah conversation, I remember when the cup overfloweth. Steve - can I ask why I haven't heard from you for a while? How did it go with nudge, nudge, at the nudge? Did I offend you in Edinburgh? 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.

Aaarrgghhhh, I can't believe someone has targeted Madhatters with some awful, misguided, 'guerilla' marketing. 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.

Yipee, as an astronomy graduate I am delighted to report that NASA are going back to the moon (not that many of you care, I'm sure). Do you realise, everyone who's walked on the moon has done it in my lifetime, bit nobody has done so in my wife's lifetime. That saddens me. 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.

Nah, not much airtime for me. It was a real scrum of people rushing to get the prime position behind the hosts. And they moved girls with cleavage INTO shot! Did make a comment during the Cool Wall segment but alas I must be on the cutting room floor (they filmed 4 hours for a one hour show). Still, Clarkson and Hammond were nice. I'll put a mobile phone picture of the wife with Hamster boy in MH News!

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
Couldn't agree more. 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...

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.

This was one of the main reasons, perhaps selfishly I know, that I mentioned Sun 31st July in the first place.
I would be happy to send an e-mail, but I suggest maybe I collate the e-mail addresses I have and send them to you instead, so that you can invite people to your house, instead of me inviting them to your house. Just a courtesy thing you understand...

I find the Jamster ringtones much more palatable than say, a King Crimson Long Player or anything by Emerson Lake and Palmer. One feels the crazy frog to be a shining light for our generation of 'hoodies'. The Hoodies - Hoody, Hoody, Yum Yum. Now that gives me an idea, where's Dr Garden?

Saw Revenge of the Sith last night, and yes Ken your mates are right. It is definitely the best of the 1st 3, by miles. It is darker (Anakin kills a lot of people) and it ties it all up neatly. Doesn't explain why Obi Wan doesn't recognise 3PO and R2D2 tho. Also, Lucas has included some dodgy 'humour' a la the first two (anyone remember 3PO's unfunny 'I'm losing my head' type gag? Well, like that but fortunately less of it). The Emperor is good and Ewan Mcgregor looks more like Alec Guiness than ever. All in all, I think most people will be pleased with it, but then I am capable of watching any old crap!

Heartening News from Geneva folks: NEWS IN BRIEF:: After years of sectarian violence, a coalition of Jews, Muslims, and Hindus signed an international resolution Monday, confirming their mutual appreciation of chicken dishes. "Whether it is breaded with matzo, served as shwarma, or covered in tikka masala sauce, chicken is the one meat upon which all faiths can agree," said spokesman Jerome Maliszewski, addressing an assembly of rabbis, mullahs, and shamans. "Let this friendly exchange of recipes be the first tentative step toward everlasting peace." Attendees at the combination summit and potluck dinner labeled it a qualified success, regretting the altercation that broke out between factions with differing views on skewer length.

If you'd like to continue this conversation over a pint, I would be happy to chat with you about the only way to save the premiership, being to kick the top 3 out and start again, re-distributing TV revenues fairly.

I'm distraught...Man Utd's soul has been sold to an avaricious American intent only on transferring his debt to the club and fleecing the fans of their money to pay it off. And before you start to gloat, his intention to renegotiate the TV rights will mean less money to go to all the other clubs and therefore the loss will be felt by all Premiership clubs bar Arsenal and Chelsea.

Only got 2 stars I'm afraid. In the verdict panel they say, "..the Apocalypse won't grab new visitors nor satisfy existing fans." Mind you Sin City got a rare 5 stars. I have to say.

He also scored The League of Gentlemen theme tune which is great..., er if you like that sort of thing!
Sorry Lesley, I don't mean to spoil your enjoyment of the film, like I said - I really liked a lot of it, just the directing was a bit odd - but that's personal taste anyway - you may love it.
Me, I'm looking forward to 2 films. The first is The League of Gentlemen film, the second is the new Wallace and Gromit. Fantastic! Why hasn't Peter Sallis been knighted yet??? Arise Sir Peter of Sallis. That's directed at you Queenie.

Hitchikers | 12/5/2005, 13:5
Mr Benson and myself went to see Hitchikers last night. Anyone else seen it? I was pleased and disappointed all at the same time.
Casting was good, mumbling was second to none though. Also all the humour seemed to get lost. Nobody in the cinema audience laughed! Maybe that's just because everyone has heard and seen the gags before, whether on the TV show, radio or in the books. Even so, the humour as written by Mr Adams is side-splittingly funny, so why didn't I laugh? My only answer to that is that I think the film was poorly directed, and hacked together viciously to cram in much material. It's the space around the gags that makes all the difference. Liked the 'Point of View' gun though. Now, if I could get one of those for client meetings.

Being old enough to remember pre-thatcherite policies carried out in the name of Labour, I can assure you Thatcher did us all a huge favour no matter what you think of her personally.

Interesting thoughts Sion. I came to a similar conclusion and I suspect that the polls could be way out. I suspect that if everyone who was disillusioned with the current government and also the arrogance of the 2 main parties voted Yellow, then there would be a Lib-Dem landslide.
However, saying that I still just wouldn't feel comfortable with CK running the country. You may remember I posted the link to the 'www.libdemthistime.org' web site. It seems to have attracted the support of over 700 people - wow. Hmm, maybe not then.

Nick W & all babyhatters - I regret to inform you that Balamory will be coming to an end after filming this current season.

Good morning. Mr Wid, at a loose end - then why not mail me that cheque for Edinburgh, it'll make you feel sooo much better.
Also, I was wondering, have any Madhatters got into blogging yet. I set one up, just to see what the fuss was all about, then realised that it might be a better format for the home page of the MH site.
And my final question, Phippsy got me thinking, did any Madhatters go and see 'An Ideal Husband'?

I'm merely endorsing the proposition that this should be a 3 party race. With the Tories and Labour trying to out-nasty each other, the cynical voter should probably vote Lib-Dem rather than making a silent protest by not voting, as this will not change anything.

Hi Everyone - just a quick plug for Act 2's forthcoming production of 'An Ideal Husband'. It's being performed next week (6th-9th April) at the Trestle Arts Base in St Albans - details at www.act2productions.co.uk. Much of the cast should be familiar to a lot of you, not least Messrs Bennett and Phipps as, respectively, the sarcastic butler and the senile old Lord. Be great to see you all there - believe me when I say it is worth the ticket price just to see Steve nearly burst a vein by shouting every single one of his lines.

While we're on the subject of dogs I thought I'd weigh in with how much fun we are having with the dogs that were offered the other week. Tessa can play with a tennis ball until you are comprehensively bored. She brings it to you and you have to throw it for her to catch. She can kick it to you as well which is very cute. She put it next to me on the sofa today and I was ignoring her so she walked over and put her paw up next to it to say 'look - there it is' Irresistible.

The pup we're looking at was born on Wednesday (aaaaarrr), and won't be ready to pick up for 8 weeks! He's a Cocker Spaniel. We're probably gonna call him Jarvis (too obvious?) We searched for ages trying to find an undocked litter (blinking barbarians, they hack their tails off when they are 3 days old! Say it looks better. How can anyone that has seen ANY dog that is normally docked, undocked, and say they look better without a tail? They are talking out of their arse..... bloody Crufts!) So it's sunny today eh?

Actually, the nail has indeed been hit on the head! My dog (Rolf, as we've established) is indeed named after the Aussie Superstar. My wife and I happened to be at a dog show just before we picked up our pup and were struggling to think of a fitting name. We saw a rather large queue, which we followed and at the end of it was good old Mr Harris signing books. He looked really, really fed up and bored with signing and the queue was still a mile long. So we thought, there you go. In honour of Rolf's patience our new family member would be named after him!! Now I hope all you Babyhatter parents put that much thought into ya babies names!

Saw The Thing again the other night. As far as I'm concerned there are simply not enough films where heads rip themselves off torsos, use their tongues to manouvere under a desk and then sprout spiders legs and crawl off. Although I've heard about a deleted scene from Finding Nemo that is apparantly quite similar. Disney DVD. Now that annoys me. Like 'Disney DVD' is a different format or something. Feckin marketeers.

I know it's a long shot but a good friend of ours (oly roberts - for those of you who know) has just had a bone marrow transplant to (hopefully) cure his leukaemia and is due home at the weekend. His wife has to rehome their 2 dogs for 6 months while his immune system rebuilds itself. She has an aunt who will take them as soon as she moves into her new house, but as this looks like being a couple of months away she is stuck without a home for the dogs for a while. If anyone knows of anyone who could lodge the dogs for maybe up to 3 months please let me know a.s.a.p

It depends. If you are in an arctic weather station and have recently saved a dog that was running from a Norwegian science team that have all been mysteriously and grotesquely killed having just un-earthed a flying saucer then it is obvious as it starts growing long thrashing tenticles and consumes other dogsin its immediate vicinity in a bloody canine slaughter.

I do love Dinosaurs I must confess. Even I, have to admit that Dinotopia really stretched things, and although I seemed to enjoy it at the time, I didn't. I did however find it increasingly funny to make 4 other people sit through it.
As for arthouse flicks, well that's all I seem to watch nowadays. Now if we can get Mike Leigh to direct a 50s black comedy drama, but somehow shoehorn a time machine and a Stegosaurus into it, with perhaps some extreme weather, I would watch that.

I boycotted Walkers when they infiltrated the crisp market with their terrible product. Unfortunately they didn't notice either and went on from strength to strength, trampling all the little crisp companies (and the big ones) until no competition remained. Now, see what they've done. Destroyed the market. Where's Golden Wonder? Nowhere I tell you (although you can find a bag of GW Cheese and Onion in strange multipack selections, the flavour has been hampered. Probably by the evil ones, yes I'm talking about you Walkers!)

My new nemesis is Kingsmill. Try getting a non-Kingsmill (i.e. non shit) loaf of bread in your town. It's not easy unless you cheat and go to the supermarket.

Anyway to get back to the original point, I too am sad about Smarties, they try to tell you it's progress, but it's just a way of jacking up the price and giving you less. Hexagonal boxes pah. I bet they cost a quid a go. Sainsburys did a similar product change when they changed the recipe for Cheese Balls. They probably thought no-one would notice, they might have thought no-one would care, but I did. I cared a lot and when I remonstrated with the company about the fact that their 'cheese balls' had changed they didn't take me seriously. It made me want to cry.

If any large food conglomerates are reading, I have just a simple message. Don't f*** about with stuff that doesn't need it. We don't need need 'Orange After Eights', 'white chocolate Maltesers' (what are you on there??), Twix Ice Cream bars, we don't need them, stop it, just stop it, stop, stop, stop. Product diversification is bad, not good. Concentrate on your core market and don't piss the punters off, because that's what you're doing, oh yes. Sure, you might think it's only confectionery. But it matters, it's a part of who we are, it's something that we like and we aren't going to take it anymore. I take my hat off to the scottish firm Tunnocks, long may you stay as you are.

By the way, I want an original Milky Way, not these new 'pants' ones.

Finally, Marks & Spencers. You make the best crisps in the world, however why have you stopped doing large bags of Salt and Vinegar, yet you do every other flavour in large, even Ham??? Madness.

Smarties | 18/2/2005, 15:44
Mmmm. Have you become 'outraged from reading' the previous posting, or are you 'Outraged, from Reading, Berks'? Those tubes could also bear an unbelievable amount of weight. In fact, I had a flat tyre once and a discarded smarties tube acted as an excellent, temporary (and light-weight) jack, that enabled me to successfully replace the damaged tyre. I'm sure a new 'hexagonal' box won't be put to such good use. Nestle are toying with our road travel safety by doing this!!

Dear Sirs, I am appauled that Nestle would dare to alter such an important part of our childhood (and indeed adulthood!). I would ask Nestle some questions but know that only Smarties have the answers!

Is nothing sacred?
No subject title | 18/2/2005, 12:57
Childhood may never be quite the same again - the maker of Smarties has announced it is to ditch the colourful chocolates' tube-shaped packet. Nestle Rowntree is to replace the beloved 68-year-old cylindrical design with a hexagonal or six-sided pack. The removable plastic lid on the current design will also go in favour of a cardboard flip-top. Nestle Rowntree said the revamp was needed to ensure the brand remained "fresh and interesting" to youngsters.

Mighty Boosh | 17/2/2005, 12:26
Steve - the Mighty Boosh was aired on BBC3 last year. It's set in Bob Fossil's Zoo, aka The Zooniverse and features happless Howard Moon and mega-glam Vince Noire as zoo attendants. However, that's about as close to reality as it gets... It is being repeated on BBC2 and the final 3 episodes are yet to be aired. It features some great Electro-pop moments and a green, large thumbed jazzfunk cock-er-ney geezer with 'solo Polo vision'. Surreal would just about do it.

Sounds greeeaaaaatt. Alternatively, we could take a short 6 hour jaunt over to New Hampshire. Not too expensive to get there and once you are it's very cheap to live (with lots of tax-free shopping). Plus the bonus of having a whole mountain to yourself, no queues, great snow and no French people (oops..hope I haven't offended anyone!!)

We went to Levi in Finland to ski a few years back with the Smiths (before Liz decided to become perpetually pregnant) and had the best skiing I've ever had (always below zero so always dry powder), great accommodation in log cabins with own saunas, astonishingly good food (speaking as a carnivore) and drink, and cheaper than almost anywhere in Europe apart from ex-commie gulags like Romania. That's my tip.

It's a conspiracy, along with 'The Goodies', the 'Adventure Game' contained hidden codes citing the exact location of the Grail. The BBC were told by the Television watchdog that this was 'irresponsible' and never to repeat the programs.

I blame the disruptive influence of Lucy Rodrigues and Charlotte Maclean!!

Hello. My name is Simon and it's my concerted new year's resolution to write some more rubbish on this site. Just like the old days eh ? When we all sat together, raised a glass and talked of times past. Oh shite, it's started already. Maybe it's because I'm a Londener... that... I now..... er... live in London. Moved to Battersea shortly after Hannah Patrick kicked me out. She turned em against me she did. Oh yes - first it was all cuteness and giggles. But then she sowed the seeds of doubt in Dave and Caro. The final straw was Caro's £50 note she hid in my pants drawer. Anyway. I'm not bitter. So I live with two other people in a nice flat with a Brewmaster coffee machine and a seemingly lifetime's supply of wine. Been working for 'the man' for the last two months and haven't really surfaced much. Otherwise, anyone who happens to be journeying into the big smoke, particularly along the A3, feel free to call in. I'm also 10 mins walk from Clapham Junction. But apparently that still counts as Battersea. Probably a bit like Slough residents saying they live in West Windsor.

I don't think they were contradicting each other, these are 2 seperate effects. The point is with the reduction in particle pollution, the counter balancing effects of global dimming will disappear, thus making the effects of global warming even stronger.

Global dimming | 21/1/2005, 15:16
I thought that Global dimming was a catch all term to describe today's 'dumb it down' media until I watched Horizon.
Sion - I too was depressed by the Horizon program until it dawned on me that the reduction in global dimming and further increases in global warming will actually warm the country up after the UK is plunged into an Ice Age through the halting of the North Atlantic stretch of the global conveyor because of the melting of the Greenland Ice Shelf causing desalination of the sea (another Horizon programme). I suspect we might be the only place on Earth that escapes scot-free due to the counter effects of all these climate changing mechanisms. (apart from the flooding mind you).

...and Sion, the CD/DVD drive in my PC is compatible with iTunes, but unfortunately I don't know what it is. Actually, I think it's an HP one. Does that help? In the meantime, try using RealAudio v10 as that imports using the iTunes preferred AAC (m4a) codec. Set to at least 192kbps. Then drag/drop the files into iTunes. Just a thought.

White Xmas | 5/1/2005, 14:52
I was down in Devon and we had a light sprinkling on Xmas Day. So light that it was like the icing sugar on a mince pie and t'was gone within the hour. The Speakeasy NYE party was fun. The band attained their usual standard even though most of them were drunk.

So if the site goes down over Christmas... well I'll fix it in the New Year, in the meantime you could go and watch Harry Potter or the Simpsons alternative Christmas speech, or both, or none.
And another thing, how did 'Shaun of the Dead' not get an award at the Comedy Awards 2004... and what about The Mighty Boosh? The whole thing was a travesty... I haven't been so outraged since the Vicar of Dibley got into the all time top comedy ten, by clambering over Father Ted. Nonsense. Nonce sense.

Warning - Telephone Fraud currently in operation (this applies to home and/or work telephones - land lines and mobiles): If you receive one of these calls, upon answering the telephone, you will hear a recorded message congratulating you on winning an all expenses trip to an exotic location. You will then be asked to press 9 to hear further details. If you press 9 you will be connected to a premium rate line that costs approximately £20 per minute. Even if you disconnect immediately, it will remain connected for a minimum of 5 minutes, costing around £100. The final part of the call involves you being asked to key your postcode and house number (which has other serious consequences). After a further 2 minutes you will receive a message informing you that you are not one of the lucky winners. The total bill will be £260. Since the calls are originating from outside the UK, BT and other telephone companies are left relatively powerless to act. The only safe solution is to HANG UP before the message prompts you to press 9; even safer is to HANG UP on any unsolicited 'free offer' call. This appears to be a variation on a theme, warnings have been sent previously regarding calls made by individuals claiming to be engineers conducting a test on the line and asking for 9, 0# and text messages similar to the routine described above. DO NOT DIAL 9 (OR 9,0# OR 0,9#) FOR ANYONE! BT has been contacted and confirmed the details as being true. There is another scam operating on Mobile Phones. A Missed Call comes up. The number is 0709 020 3840. The last four numbers may vary but certainly the first four numbers will remain the same. If you call this number back, you will be charged £50 per minute. People have complained about their phone bills, once they have realised the cost of the call but apparently this is completely legal. So beware, do not call back numbers beginning with 0709.
