The pleasure of spam

Has anyone noticed how creative spam email subject lines are getting now? I don't mean the countless Viagra, Euro casino, French or Canadian drugs, designer watches, 'be a winner in bed', 'enlarge your tool', 'drill her to submission' etc, or the ones that say someone famous has died but these ones I've been receiving lately:-
  • Monkeys taught how to handle a gun
  • Mike Tyson to Fight Michael Jackson
  • Madonnas Former Home destroyed by Jesus
  • Jesus Christ To Star in Next Series of Batman
  • Paris Hilton considered for Mother Teresa role
  • Polar Bear finds Yoga great for Flexibility but murder on the Balls

Wired at Wireless

Image
What a difference a decent weekend makes. I’m now taking advantage of this new optimism and energy and have almost rewritten my job description for the next year with new ideas. So what happened? I wasn’t expecting too much from Wireless as after seeing a couple of dull sets from Underworld, last year’s crushing crowd but excellent Daft Punk performance and a doubtful weather forecast for rain. Instead, Steve and Sam came along as first time Wireless playmates getting in for about 3:30pm. This year, the entrance had been moved to the other side of the park which meant a longer walk from the tube but the security was relaxed and efficient so whisked in without hassle. The beer tents looked heaving but were one of the best ideas yet with a snake-like queue and security pointing out the next available server just like post offices. With starting drinks sorted we sat down to overhear Har Mar Superstar with Neon Neon on the main stage. Japanese Popstars Out of all the relatively new support...

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...

More FlickR freaks

DSC_0214F Originally uploaded by Ginger DJ . Okay, this is getting creepy. This is the second fetish freak I've come across who's been stalking my FlickR photos. The Sock Fetish was just odd ( see my previous blog entry ). This time, well I'll let you decide if I should do anything to stop this stalking. FlickR has the function to check the recent activity of your photos i.e. how many views, how many have been made a favourite, comments made etc. Today this photo of me in a helicopter has been made a favourite for another FlickR user. Why? Its not a great shot so could it be the helicopter, the pilot, me?? I follow the link trail to find out who liked it that much to save it as favourite. Someone called Asicsboy who only takes photos of his Asics trainers and one of him in a mask. Another foot fetish freak! But no, the creepiness continues. His profile reads: "Guy into sneakers, headphones, hearing protectors/ear muffs and face masks...I'm Male and Single. U...
