Commandante

I don't have much news about anything of real note. Not workwise anyway. Fun and games recently though, after my girfriend hung a "Free Palestine" flag from our verandah one Saturday afternoon.

Twenty minutes later, the bloke who lives on the ground floor came up to our flat to ask what the hell was going on. He brought our attention to the front garden - which is his bit. Forty or fifty Zionists had gathered in the garden and were pointing up at the verandah and muttering.

We looked over the verandah at them, gave them a wave and the Zionists hurled abuse. So we hurled eggs and milk at them. That had no effect. Then our boy Brendan suggested we hurl pork. So, we hurled pork.

The Zionists dispersed. Forty minutes later, the F-16s arrived. You might have read about it in The Daily Record.

Coming up in August 09 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The Comedians Theatre Company is putting on a production of Gregory Burke's play "Gagarin Way."

I'll be in it with Phil Nichol, Jim Muir and Will Andrews.

It is on at Stand 3, 28 York Place, at 1pm from 7-30 August (not 17th).

This is an excellent play and this production marks the stage acting debuts of Andrews and Muir and myself. The rehearsals went pretty well and we are all looking forward to steaming in to it in August.

Extremely dry weirdness from the east coast of Scotland. Exemplary design skills and no little comedy talent too in the text. A very fine site.

McMental.co.uk
This is some brilliant inspired animation lunacy. Starring Jox McRox - superstar DJ. Swing around the site's eye candy then make sure you see the webisodes. Mental.

The website of the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation (Scotland).

bringdaruckus
Wide-ranging site focussed on the Scottish hip-hop scene (and more).

infinitewheel.com/dubselector
Sensational animated music site where you can mix some dub by interacting with the images.

tps online.org
This is a website that in three clicks will stop those pesky cold calls coming down your telephone (usually when you're about to pile into a big plate of creamed potatoes).

Also, plenty of decent laughs at the website up the top of this page. The red banner thing. Click it for Wreckered magazine.

"F*** The Goatee !"

No apologies on this webzeit for still carrying these pictures of what may be some form of entertainment. In hip-hop style, the extremely hirsute Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe |||, Frankie Boyle and Mr Martin Bigpig snapped in mid-song urging the world to F*** The Goatee. This took place in Glasgow before an alarmed audience.

As an owner of a goatee I have mixed feelings about the overt lyric in this song, but yet, in their unique and powerful way, what these men were saying to the world was ultimately less to do with goatees than it was to do with making preparation for the apocalypse.

Given the ethnic diversity of the trio: one tee-total, one degenerate and one Irish, this performance, in March 2005, was nothing less than a clarion call for the disenfranchised to rise up against the yoke of conformity and to singe the beard of the oppressor.
