Got something to say? Get it off your chest! Got nothing to say, well just wing it.
I'm starting a new podcast, lets call it a bit of a thought experiment. Ever get pissed off by something? We all do (me so several times a day) and when you do, you just want to shout to the world about it. After all, if a problem shared is a problem halved, a problem bitched about to an audience of bored listeners must be ... well ... still a problem, but you get the idea.
Anyway, next time something pisses you off and you want to just vent, give the Off Your Chest podcast a call, leave a message and when (or if) I get enough messages I'll put a compilation of the best ones out on the feed. We've got a London based number if you want to call it, or you can call for free via Skype. More details here.
You're on the Naughty List Jack...

For those of you who haven't already seen this, it's doing the rounds, and it made me laugh.

So I've had a lot of e-mails about this since June, and I should apologise for not doing anything about it since then... but sod it. Apparently the old podcast episodes weren't online after the server switch. They are now, so bask in their glory! Enjoy.
Where has this year gone?
For When She Just Won't Listen

Seems like my attempt at publishing some more T-Shirts has been thwarted twofold by Zazzle. Aside from their base costs, which I could overlook really because let's face it they are a US based company and us over here in Blighty are used to paying well over the odds for .. well .. everything. It's their rating policy that's screwed me though. I discovered this whilst trying to categorise my latest "Domestic Abuse: For When She Just Won't Listen" design, and there simply isn't anywhere I can put it where it'll be accepted on their service.
So does anyone know a good, preferably UK based, on demand T-Shirt printer in the same vein as Zazzle? One without morals?
Sod it. Ah well, in other news, I'm still flogging this dead horse. The Fish has become a bit like a neglected step-child, or one of those awful sitcoms that jumps the shark and keeps going. We've peaked, but hey, fuck it, you're still reading this right? So I should make an effort to post something. After all, I'm fast approaching 30 and it's good therapy to avoid a mid-life crisis.
Incidentally, I'm trying to find photographic evidence to support my 'two chicken shop' theory. It's where you can judge the social standing of an area not based on official statistics, but on how many fried chicken shops it has. If it has two right next to each other, run! But grab a photo first and send it to me.
Anyway... it's the weekend. Time to go out and get fucked up.

Ok, so I know I'm a little late to the party on this one as it's already got over 20 million views on YouTube.. but it's so blinding I have to repost it.
"I'm confused ... which one is throwing the rocks?"
Scary thing is I guess you get idiots in every country. I've seen the so called British version of this video and it doesn't cut the mustard, I'm certain we could really give them a run for their money with some of our ilk. I mean the council flats opposite my house are bloody full of prime examples, just waiting to be interviewed!
The Return of the Store?

... or just another half baked idea?
So I've decided to bring back the t-shirt store. Well, in a fashion anyway. I've been spending some serious time lately looking for amusing and tasteless t-shirt designs, like the ones we used to sell here back in '04, but haven't really found what I'm looking for. There's one or two absolutely cracking sites out there which I've ordered some stuff from, but some designs and ideas simply don't exist any more. So I've decided to open a store via zazzle through which I'll slowly bring back some of our old designs (if I can find them) and maybe even design some new ones.
