Jamies Tiles Rant
On the 87th Southside Podcast, I was talking about badly written radio adverts. I probably have a whole host of cringe worthy commercials in the archives, although sadly most of them were probably created by me. In 2008 – if you can remember that far back – I applied for a full-time creative writing position.…

I’ve been a naughty eagle! And finally … the 87th Southside Podcast is here!
I’ve been sitting at the computer for ages, wondering how to start this post. The problem is that I’ve been away and haven’t written for so long that I feel I should really consider my re-entrance on to the blogging scene. Should it be apologetic? Should I try and manufacture some excuses for why I’ve…

Britain’s Got talent? (with complimentary song parody)
I saw Britain’s Got talent for the first time last weekend. I’m not really sure how I’d managed to get through life before that point but somehow I did. It wasn’t by my own choosing that I watched it I hasten to add. It was one of those moments where I was with a group…

New podcast news and a little rambling.
Jiga jiga jiga! Guess who’s back! Well, obviously it’s me but anyway … I was trying to be street and hip-hop. “Jiga jiga jiga! Guess who’s back” is of course from the eminem classic’ Without me’, but you knew that all ready. Theapparent definitions of “jiga” according to the ‘Urban Dictionary’ are interesting although I’m…

Warning, I’m Ranting!
It’s Monday morning (well I know it’s not really Monday morning but I’d like you to suspend disbelief for me if you can. With not having a normal, steady 9-5 job to wake up to, self-motivation is essential. I therefore start my Mondays by attempting to rouse my spirits for the week ahead. This usually…

Dogs Playing Poker
Today I received the following email in my inbox from a Johnson Komo. I’ve never come across such a name in my life but as the email ended up in my inbox and not the spam folder I thought I would open it. After all, it could be an admiring fan. It wasn’t an admiring…

C’est magnifique … erm … its all I can say!
I was planning on writing quite a bit today but I’ve got the 84th Southside Podcast to package by Friday afternoon before I head off to a gig in Leeds. I’ll talk more about my gigging shenanigans in more detail at some point in the future (see? The future really is bright!). Anyway, even though…

A great thing about internet search engines is that you can often instantly find unknown connections between seemingly disparate words or subjects. For instance, today (just as an experiment) I did a search for “Sir Clement freud, ducks”. This was because I wanted to see if my blog post from a few days agocame up…
