Had Some Bad Sushi Earlier.

Found Shopping List.

Only interesting in that it's written on special "Shopping List" stationary, which I think is a lovely touch. Although, the scribbling and jagged pen-slashes at the bottom make it look like the work of an unpredictable, violent maniac. Who loves kittens (click for full-size).

In other news, school last week was a lot of fun. I've got a bit of planning to do tonight as I know I'm there for a month and I don't want to be making each lesson up as I go along. A week off rehearsals too, which'll be lovely.

I hate Sundays.

Friday Night.

Had a lovely evening- was invited to Bristol to a party at Kara's new place. Caught up with her, Rob J, met the lovely Mel, saw Ben and Jen and got shitfaced. A lovely spur-of-the-moment night.

WOW!


Finally, a nice bit of Who spoilage!

INTERNET EXCLUSIVE.

Here we go, folks. The first picture anywhere...

... of Dicktanian and the Three Jerketeers.

This one's going to be a turkey.

I Don't Generalise...

... So I'm not going to say "the American military are all a bunch of pricks". But still...


An American soldier there, wondering aloud why he's not authorised to shoot children for throwing rocks at his armoured vehile.

Also...


Winning hearts and minds the whole world over.

In other news- I've got the next four week's teaching sorted at a comprehensive school right on my doorstep, teaching Drama. Very pleased indeed.

I'll be wrapping this up soon, promise.

Music!

It's been a great few days for music- A new album coming up from Brand New, a three-disc bastard of an album from Tom Waits and live recordings from Foo Fighters and the mighty Rammstein. Needless to say I have purchased all these at retail price, from a licensed vendor of copyrighted products.

Teaching at Pen-Y-Dre Today...

... and it's as mad as ever. One kid turned up to school on a horse, and I got this gem from a year-ten pupil:

"Sir, I know a girl in year nine with chlamydia! That's fucking mad that is Sir, fourteen and you got chlamydia!"


This is all fodder for the novel which I'll probably never write.

ARMED ROBBERY!

Wow, breaking news- about half an hour ago there was an armed robbery at the Natwest in town, about three minutes walk from where I type this:

They had a shooter and everything. I'm getting my arse down there with my camera RIGHT NOW, back later with pics.

We take you live now to BBC News 24 in London:

"...I'm now being told we can go live to the scene, Mark, can you give us some idea of the mood there?"







"Thanks Mark, there's certainly one word that sums up the atmosphere in the air here after this morning's terrible incident, and that word is bored as fuck. As you can see we've got one police officer on the scene, and his duties so far have included chatting with passers-by, yawning, and playing with what we believe to be his own bollocks. We've had word from an insider who reports that although a live firearm was used in the attack, no shots were fired and the perpetrator has already been apprehended. Reports that the robber wore a black-and-white-striped top and black eye-mask have been dismissed as 'lazy stereotyping'. Back to the studio".
