Wanna be in our gang?

MM, PT - we have a new recruit to the Roedenbach gang.

Other applications will be considered by the committee. Photographic evidence will strengthen the case of any applicant, but comment box confirmation that this is one of your weapons of choice will get you places.

The Adventures of Mr Cobblers

Lets look at the evidence.

Claims of Mr C:
"My goalkeeper was in the dressing room for 30 minutes waiting for an ambulance. "
"The ambulance could not go in the direction of the dressing room. "
"He could not leave the dressing room properly. He had to go in a wheelchair in the lift when he had the injury. "
"He left 30 minutes after my doctor called for an urgent ambulance. "
"If my goalkeeper dies in that dressing room or in the process it is something English football has to think about. "
"This is much more important than football. I would like someone to tell me why my goalkeeper was left in this situation."

Statement from a South Central Ambulance Service NHS Trust spokesman
"At 5.45pm it was decided that an ambulance should be called. It arrived at 5.52 - seven minutes after the call was made".

This man properly gets on my wick.

Pepper mixes it up US style. Three stock poses in one photo. Quite an achievement.
Phil about to hit a big drive (well actually he isn't - he'd hit me
with the ball. Ok, I admit it. We staged yet another photo).
Smithers and Johnson in a boozer in Soho yesterday with some
wooden gentleman. Let be know how the boat race went btw.

Phil McE on the quad thing. This is surely a prime candidate for
photo manipulation and submission to Viz's UTA corner.
Stone at home on the 4x4.

Poster poser

Need a new big poster for my front room as I'm bored of the current Mulholland Drive one that I've had for years. Was thinking the one below. It's another Lynch film, though this one might have been a classic but was flawed unlike MHD which is an incredible film experience when watched in the right manner (see below). I just like Lynch and think this is quite a cool poster. What do you reckon? Any other suggestions?
Re watching Mulholland Drive, it's a really good idea to approach it in the following way to get the most of it (and thanks to the Box for suggesting I do this). I REALLY recommend you don't look at the mega spoiler links first.

1. Watch the film once right through and try - and fail - to work out what's going on. You should also have Lynch's 10 clues to interpreting the film that to hand when watching it to make it more interesting. They are:

1) Pay particular attention to the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits.
2) Notice appearances of the red lampshade.
3) Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again?
4) An accident is a terrible event... Notice the location of the accident.
5) Who gives a key, and why?
6) Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup.
7) What is felt, realised and gathered at the club Silencio?
8) Did talent alone help Camilla?
9) Note the occurrences surrounding the man behind 'Winkies'
10) Where is Aunt Ruth?

2. After watching it once, read 'The Base Story (Linear chronology)' from this.

3. Then read this as well.

4. Watch the film again.

A shockingly good film.

The luck of the Welsh

I now believe I’m returning to top form after a week of unfortunate events, including:
- dropping iPod and cracking screen
- turning up to see the filming of a TV show and being turned away at the door as they’d overallocated by 100s of tickets (Jonathan Ross, kindly supplied by Keams and twfka Cutler)
- having to pay £40 for missing a dental appointment because of work, though will claim back from work
- being stung by a wasp when trying to get into bed at 3am after a stag do and my neck swelling up like a balloon (am allergic to them)
- having a very nasty cold all week

Relaxing weekend in order. Will pop to the driving range, a spot of squash and perhaps a some nice food and a glass or ten of chilled beer. Also some online poker (look up KingLunt on Ladbrokes if anyone fancies a bit on Sun night).

Right, some pictures of da gang.

Oh.

My phone card reader is in the office. Maybe my run of unfortunate events hasn’t come to an end quite yet.
