Hay Fiona
This is from 1992 when I used to go see hype along with 15 thousand other wide eyed ravers. He was and is a scratch master, this is still fast but not quite D&B yet.
I was at this rave it was at the Sanctuary in Bletchley next to Rollers. I even danced on stage at one point. Poor quality but there where no Mobile phone cameras in those days. You don't see me in this clip but I am on the full video if you can find it.

Fonejacker
I'm sitting here watching Fonejacker on Channel 4 catchup while Bart is on the US news sites he loves so much. I thought I would share a couple of clips. For those of you that don't know Fonejacker it is a show based on crank calls made by one man Comedian Kayvan Novak. I love him just a little bit he is very versatile.

So how did my car die
Let me bore you with the crash details. There is a quote from the nice lady that hit me that made some of the girls at work laugh, you just have to read on for me to reveal it.
I left work early on Friday and went to get myself supplied with beer for the weekend. That is where things started to go down hill. I got to the counter with my beer and waited for my Switch card to be accepted, you know when it just takes too long and the threat of denial looms over you, and you can feel the queue behind you hushing to hear for the bad news. Well it was like that, eventually the girl said, 'the connection is down I think your card is fine,' sighs of relief from me and groans of disappointment from the queue. So being a solutions kind of guy I went over to the cash machine and made a withdrawal to payed for my precious.
Pleased with myself off I set for home and my comfy chair and an ice cold beer. I got to the junction where I turn right and had to stop to wait for the oncoming traffic to pass. I had my break lights on and I was indicating correctly. Suddenly I see a blue flash in my rear view mirror and think to myself this is going to hurt and - bang. A witness who helpfully stopped estimated her speed at 60 mph. There were no skid marks, so she didn't even break. There was quite a big jolt and I came to rest on the same side of the road thankfully. I did a quick check and all my bits seemed to be functioning so I pulled the car up on to the grass verge and got out to see who had hit me and to see if they were OK. She was a small blond, around 30, and was initially sure that the whole thing was my fault. Our witness put a sharp end to that, and she soon admitted that she didn't even see me in the road until she was millimeters from my bumper.
We sat around at the road side for a while as insurance details were swapped; all this done I walked home to fetch Bart as I didn't have my phone on me. When we returned to the car the nice lady was still there waiting for the AA to pick up her car and take her home. As I approached her from the car she started to cry. Obviously, the kind hearted people person that I am, I went to comfort her (remember this was all her fault). As I got close enough for her to whisper she said, "I have just had a boob job and they don't feel right" she was holding her chest as she spoke. I was a little unsure as to how I should respond to this so I just said I'm sure they will be fine and patted her on the shoulder. I was tempted but I thought better of it.
So I have asked around at work and no one so far has been able to beat this as a post crash quote. I'm fine by the way, but the car is dead.

Palin the Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancherwhose hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a 'Post Turtle.'"
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle.'
"The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, and she doesn't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass her up there to begin with."

For Bart
This made me think of you in the car today, I know that you like them. So I thought I would share.
Simon is just about my favorite person on TV it's just a shame he doesn't do T4 on Sunday mornings anymore. This is what he did with the Kooks. Enjoy!!

The bright side of the credit crunch
I know that people are hurting out there and I genuinely feel for them. Bart wrote about it in a way that I wish I could have on his blog. For Bart and I this credit crunch thing may have a silver lining. House prices in MK have always been high due partly to our close proximity (just 45 minutes by train) to London, and the great range of leisure and business opportunities within the city.
We have lived in the same house close to ten years now and we are both getting itchy feet, but we do not have the purchasing power to move up the housing ladder. Maybe now things are moving in our direction. Over the past couple of months we have seen houses that a year ago would have been close to the £300,000 (or $600,000 at the exchange rates of the time) mark are now much more realistically priced - almost affordable, assuming that you are able to get a new mortgage. I understand that this is a nightmare if you bought at the top of the market, but it's good news for people like us who have stayed put for some time and are not in negative equity (only just), and have reasonably safe employment.
The story below gives a view on how the housing market is being affected here today.
UK house prices 'continue fall'
The fall echoed the monthly drop in August
UK house prices have fallen for an 11th consecutive month, dropping by 1.7% in September, according to the Nationwide.
The lender recorded a 12.4% annual drop in prices, pushing the cost of the average UK home down to £161,797, more than £20,000 less than a year ago.
Nationwide said the pace of house price falls had stabilised, but warned the next year or two would be "difficult".
House prices were down year-on-year across the UK, with southern England suffering worse than the north.
The rate of fall, which was the same as in August, has remained relatively unchanged in the past three months.
"Casting back one year, there have been some astonishing and unpredictable developments in the housing and financial markets," said Fionnuala Earley, Nationwide's chief economist.
But she added that in the long-term there was no reason why house prices would not continue to grow in real terms even though there was a "sharp correction" now.
How long the correction lasts and how deep the fall in prices is depends largely on sentiment, as well as an end to the turmoil in the financial markets, she says.
Her analysis comes shortly after the Council of Mortgage Lenders suggested that predicting the short term course of house prices was "futile".
Regional breakdown
The Nationwide has also released figures showing prices during the third quarter of the year in different areas of the UK.
Ms Earley said that a distinctive feature of the July to September period was the accelerating fall in house prices in the south of England compared with the north.
Four of the six regions registering double-digit price declines were in the South, with East Anglia and the South West showing the biggest annual drops - both 11.4%.
Northern Ireland showed the steepest decline in house prices across the UK, which are now 29.8% lower than a year ago.
So when you next come to visit we may have taken advantage of this situation and be in a new home.
