I NEVER give way. If a gang of yoot come towards me, I make like I have a terrible cold and snurfle and wipe with my hand. They get out of the damned way, full nappies or no.

In London I become super b*stard pedestrian and zoom through crowds by anticipating the flow along the pavement. It's a great game. On the tube, I barge into people just as they barge into me. Stuff 'em. They're only humans.

Have you been watching The Verve video again?! (this will fly by some people won't it?!)

I use to do some driving for a rural bus service & EVERY single morning, on exactly the same small stretch of road, you knew the same idiot would come flying round a corner & then look surprised that a bus was coming in the opposite direction. I only drove for this company on one or sometimes two days a week & I did not drive this route at that time EVERY time I drove for them, but I knew she would be there, as did ALL the regular drivers. It finally got stopped after she nearly hit a Police car that was arranged to travel in front of us. The nice man even took the time to stop & write a couple of notes in his pad, in reference to her vehicle condition, paper work & driving.

Tee hee. I know the one you mean. No, I just push through like a native.

I can also get served first in busy pubs, but that's another skill entirely.

All the idiots who decided to drive to the big car park near the lighthouse last night in their stupid pointless quest to see the northern lights.
I had to wait nearly 15 minutes in a queue before I could find a space in the car park and err.... look for the northern lights.
If half of them had any sense they would have stayed at home and allowed me to park..... no, wait.... I'll get my coat.

Big Brother (the Show). Why?

I wouldn't say this makes me angry but it certainly does freak me out.....

Guys wearing socks and sandals!

Genuinely angry thing now. Still hoping against hope it's a joke, though. I mean, who pees on a grave?

Disney has taken Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures pulsar data motif and recast it as a silhouette of Mickey f**king Mouse's stupid head.

If I was in a room with the guy who did that right now, you'd better forget calling an ambulance.

I have to tell one of Ian's closest friends about this tomorrow night. I see her every week. She doesn't have a computer. She's not well at the best of times. What the hell am I supposed to tell her?

That is awful and now I am angry

I have no idea what you are talking about. Please don't hurt me...

Joy Division's seminal album Unknown Pleasures, which is cited by countless successful bands (from Nirvana to Radiohead) as a primary inspiration, features an iconic 3D plot of a pulsar. See attachment.

Disney has taken this design and forced it into the shape of Mickey Mouse's head. It's actually on sale in Disneyland. There's a report here, which pretty much sums it up: http://pitchfork.com/news/45193-disney- ... use-shirt/

Seeing as how Disney is so keen on protecting its intellectual property, one assumes they paid to p*ss on Ian's grave and know that "joy division" was the term used for the enforced prostitution of Jewish women in concentration camps. Pretty sickening, right? Mind you, Disney himself was a bit of a fascist. I feel like flipping the switch on his freezer.

Can the guys take legal action?

Peter Hook is asking Disney to donate to an epilepsy charity.

I'm waiting for the Goofy 'Trout Mask Replica' t-shirt...

"Never Mind the b*ll*cks Here's Mickey!"
