Everyone Loves Raymond


Apparently a little bird tells me Luton's family have got a new dog called raymond. I imagine it looks a bit like this...

Other suggestions welcome

Alexander Gelman

Anyone know about this dude? He doing a lecture we got an invitation to on 7th June, but I've passed as it clashes with the mighty raeburn fashion expo.

The Museum of Modern Art listed him as one of the "world's most famous modern and contemporary artists
in all media." Whatever.

Launch Party

After 2.65 years in the making, I am pleased to anounce that the all new Boxing Clever website is up and running, well beta test version 2.0 anyway!!!! It's relatively light on content as I'm going for quality rather than quantity, but then I suppose that's pretty light too!! I've got another piece for the portfolio that is halfway there, so expect that in about 8 more months!!

ALL NEW BOXING CLEVER

It's a bit of tweaking away but I thought I'd put it up now to gain feedback, negative or positive. For instance, should I stick with it in a popup (and does that centre on your computers?) or shall I just have it in the window like this?

Cheers

Gentlemen! Tiny Minds! (And How To Get Out Of Them)

Right, a very quick festival update you lovely people;

Lineup at The Secret Garden Party has been unleashed. Graham Coxom headlining which is nice and guarantees a capacity 6000 crowd.

There's a selection of fine young men already lashed to the mast for this almighty storm, but we also welcome onboard Flood and MD (......soon?!) and BREAKING NEWS ..... TOM LUCAS HAS TRADED HIS GREEN MAN TICKETS FOR SECRET GARDEN...... hooray for peer-pressure.

Eddie Temple-Morris, not a 1970's dandy highway-man, but a well respected DJ pioneer, has got a stage or a treehouse or something similar, and was going apesh*t about the festival on his show yesterday. I'm thinking its going to be a sell-out so if you are thinking about going, just book it now and figure out the rest later. ha ha ha.

www.thesecretgardenparty.com or something like it.

do it.

do it now my fair warriors!

love

Chop

French?

I don't think I've ever seen...

...someone vomit into their own mouth and sallow it before.

World Allstar Squad

With the World Cup fast approaching, I thought it apt to post this. After finding out recently that I was working with someone who not only attended the same Foundation course as me all those years ago, but also at the same time and were therefore in the same class (he dropped out after 2 weeks), I decided to dig out some names from that year to see if we had any mutual friends!!

This was the only record I found! The World Allstar Squad for the 1998 World Cup!!! The names and faces will offer nothing to you other than amusement, but these Frankensteined photos of classmates conjour up exact memories of what they looked like, moreso than any real photo could!

As you can see, I spent a lot of my time there productively!!

They have foxes in Barcelona too



I can confirm after much searching that they do have foxes in barcelona. They are also so highly regarded that statues are built to them on the street. Hopefully are government can learn form this and pave the streets of London in a similar fashion. (Also a nice panaramic I took of the Cathedral/200year old building site.)

I'm not on commission but...

As you may know, I know someone who works for t-mobile. As such you can get one of the phone plans linked below for half the advertised price per month, if any of you are planning to renew your contract anytime soon. I don't know how good t-mobile's service is, but i'm doing it (not just so I can get a phone that doesn't look like a brick!)

For Him Magazine

While a clerical error has seen me ommitted from this years FHM 100 sexiest list, it's still worth purchasing to see my face in print, as I feature not once, but twice in this years June edition. The appeal is not only asthetic though, as you'll also gain insight into my opinion on this summers tipple of choice - cider!

'(one tester got "apple strudel")' and 'not as apple-ly as Woodpecker' can be attributed to me!



Caption competition

Well diddlers rather than just sharing with you a series of amusing photos I have taken over the last 64 hours I thought I would open up the comments to some captions to the following amusing pictures. I await the puns.
