Ants

Yesterday, according to Channel 4 News, after a phone call from Downing Street, the Raoul Moat Facebook fan page was taken down. We’re told Facebook didn’t remove it, but that it was done by the people who started to focus on sympathy for the gunman. Questions were raised in Parliament. It’s interesting that days after [...]

The Ballad of Jogging Butcher

Dean — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 07:38:23 +0000

“Thank God I’m fit as a butcher’s dog Or that would have had me pegged” His oily sweat like liquid lard Drips from a roast beef leg A half-moon stain beneath his chin Spreads like a messy baby The darker reek of two rank pits Unadulterated for the ladies Posted via email from Dean Whitbread

I listened to this as a teenager. Oh, to be seventeen! I thought as a 12 year old.

Four years ago in 2006 I wrote this song and made this video for Mr John Otto Cleese to coincide with the World Cup. You know – THE World Cup – the FIFA World Cup. Football. The game played with the feet. By the whole world. Didn’t do too badly. Astonishingly, now England are playing [...]
