Gotta go with OJ on this one these guys were really good, though they did get a tad loud by the end of the session (I’ve got this ringing thing in my ears called tinnutitis or something..loud noise and it don’t mix..)
Nope didn’t get a free tshirt either or a beer!!! OJ at least got 5 of those and did he share …..
Well I feel rough, really really rough, and I’m writing this at 20 past ten at night. And the reason for that? Well it was the Btpodshow launch party last night at Shoreditch house.
And I was supposed to be having a week of non-drinking so I thought i’d just have one glass of Champoo when I got there, well you have to don’t you (its free for fucks sake) But one glass turned into shouting at the bar man when it ran out (I didn’t really shout, I wasn’t capable of it and he offered me Jack Daniel’s instead so I probably would have snogged him had I been capable)
So you now know that I got myself rather shitfaced, but who was there other than me? well…..
There were some great celebrities
There were some not so good ones
There were some who thought they were celebrities
And the highlight for me was the fact that Hot Chipped DJ’d. Now I was very excited about this and wanted to tell them how much I loved them. Problem was by this point my brain had been turned into a goo resembling mayonnaise due to exposure to the Champers. I managed to call them Hot Chap, then forgot the name of their album that I was telling them I loved (made in the dark), forgot the name of the person who works with them that I know (Matt Dixon @ EMI), then forgot the track that I loved by them (One pure thought). And even then when my girlfriend was trying to drag me away with my shame hanging in shreds around my ankles I walked back in there to tell them all about the Eleventh Commandment and forgot my own URL! What. A. Twat.
Mr Hotchip, if you are reading this (and they might be just to see if I’m sort of brain deficient stalker who has instant amnesia every 13 seconds) then I’m a moron and I beg your forgiveness, your holiness’es.
Then to top off a fine evening I came home and fell asleep with my arm in a pizza that I don’t remember buying. I rock. All in all though it actually was a top event, so hats off to the guys who put it on (although why the fuck you booked Alexa Chung to DJ, and DID’T ASK ME - not that I’m bitter about it at all, no way. I SAID I’M NOT BITTER, Is beyond me) because now more people know about us (podshow that is) Also the Eleventh Commandment was playing on the screens in there as the place was quite busy (I got caught looking at myself on the screen which is slightly embarrassing) and I might get my photo in OK magazine (although I was kissing Dr Cockneys head in the snap they took)
So all in all its a way to go us. Apart form Alexa “I Can’t Mix” Chung DJ’ing. Did I mention I wasn’t bitter? No.
Well fuck it and she can fuck off too. Goodnight world.
PPPPSSSSS
Just Found this HAHA AHA AH AHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHA
This is gonna rebound on me isn’t it?
Should we do a show on this?
Pointless but check the handspeed!
In fact there a loads of these things on t’web. Is this it? Is this the point where I realise that I’m over the hill cause I can’t cup stack? Probably.
So he finally got to stick the finger where it really hurts..not happy with surfing, landboarding, boxing etc etc I had to spend a whole day watch OJ have a laugh (again), get taught by a top kite flyer mark from kitevibe and then actually get up and go landboarding!! I kitesurf on the water any weekends (yes weekends time off time not work time) any chance I get while OJ gets paid to go kiteboarding!! and then I have to spend several days watching his beaming face on the edit machine…I hate working in TV
As Homer (Simpson - not that Greek ponce) once said “God Bless those Pagans”
He also said “Maybe, just once, someone will call me “sir” without adding, “you’re making a scene.”
Also “Oh, they have the Internet on computers no”
And “It’s like David and Goliath, only this time David won”
(I was only looking for one quote but they all made me laugh - see more here on some guys internet page You get the OJ Borg guarantee of laughing. If you don’t then you you were born with no sense of humor, I feel deeply for you)
Any way all those quotes nicely highlight the fact that the Eleventh Commandment is one of the featured videos on Itunes. I’m so excited I could soil myself (may have just done that. I may need new undercrackers) its exactly 23:19 and I just called the James of Bedford. He didn’t answer the bastard. So yes…. we were in the top 100 the other week, now we are featured. Next, the WORLD.
I’m so happy here is a lovely video of a cat.
I’m now totty apparently. But don’t take my word for it…
*****Click here and scroll down*****
I have no idea how they got hold of it or why they have thought that I’m totty but I’m well up for it. this could do my street cred some good. Well in honesty it could actually give me some street cred. James is very jealous… I emailed it to him and he proclaimed that they should have talked about the production qualities and not just how the host looks!
I just googled James Bedfords name and this is what comes up. Great Beard!
So thank you scarlet magazine… I may just subscribe to you now, knowing that you have such good taste. In production values of course.
I’ll leave this post with a youtube rant. In fact its one of the best rants I’ve ever heard in a film. Quentin Tarrantino tells us the true meaning of TOP GUN.
Laters.
But there are bargains to be had!!! (yes there is a one bed flat in lovely Maida vale for sale that is currently home to a well known TV personality..none other than Mr OJ Borg. My beloved tenant.
You see I dont get it , Gordon Brown is out meeting various bank bosses today to discuss the state of the Global economic crisis (or credit crunch as every hack and newspaper is now calling it..original aren’t they?). He and they are trying to figure out the next steps we should take. This and other headlines such ‘falling property prices’ or ‘property crash’ etc etc have all been making front page news over the past few months..My wonder is..are all the newspapers and journos in collusion? are they trying to force the market to drop so that all their underpaid staff can buy somewhere to live as apposed to them getting a pay rise..believe it or not most people who work in media get paid peanuts..
I mean fundamentaly there have been no great job losses, sure the cost of living is going up, but thats called inflation .. the problem is most peoples salaries have not been going up with inflation..take a cameraman. 10 to 15 years ago a camera operator would get paid say £300 a day..Nowdays they get paid anything from £200 to £300 day..but yet property prices have gone up because banks have kept on lending us more and more money..why? supply and demand..not enough properties pushes prices up..simple..but now prices are meant to drop because? I mean the UK’s population is growing daily..I wont go into this just yet 
My point is this a few months back everything was going along sweetly then boom the US sub prime market (something 99% of us had never heard of) hit the headlines!! and banks exposures etc all came to light causing fear in the financial markets and in us ordinary folk.. but if none of this had been highlighted or been bigged up so much my question is would it have actually affected many of us?, would any of us have been any the wiser? for me its made no difference to my life as such, apart that I now read and hear about it every where I go and as a result I’ve had to drop the price of my flat by £30k. All because the news has made such a song and dance out of it..
Its amazing how so many of us are governed by so few. I mean if all the papers had said the property market was fine it probably still would be.. If the papers didnt fill every inch with the latest knife crime attack..most of us wouldnt be walking around in fear and might actually stand up to the little kids shouting abuse on the street.
Oh and while I’m on my rant we vilify bankers and their ilk for their supposed greed. But I think most journalists and their papers should go in the same bracket ..they exploit stories to sell papers to the detriment of much worthier headlines..
Anyhow rant over and if anyone wants I have a a lovely 1 bedroom flat in Maida Vale w9 for sale..at a bargain price..
Now I’m not been a hypocrite am I?
Its not many times that I, as a narcissistic TV presenter who loves only himself and the smell of a good quality mahogany, can say that I have done some good.
But, yes, through the medium of the Eleventh commandment, it has only taken 2008 years but religion has finally done some good - way to go big G!
I will now prove this by pasting a message I got from a guy who works with us called Neil Dixon (of dock Green) a couple of days ago…..
I just had an email from Chris Leydon of The Podzone.
As a result of seeing the 11thC Mr Testicles episode, he is having a scan later this month to test for suspected testicular cancer. He asked that I give you his heartfelt thanks for producing the episode and making him - and hopefully others - more aware.
neil…
Now when we contacted Mr Testicles to do the show we did for obvious good reasons thinking we would raise a bit of awareness (plus I have to admit I thoght it’d be slightly amusing interviewing a massive pair of balls on the South Bank) but I never realized that we would actually directly help someone. Way to go me (oh and James) So I thought I’d use this moment to try and nudge you into donating some money to the charity so more blokes and thier onion bags don’t have something go wrong with them.
You can get to the website here…… ADOPT A BOLLOCK
All the other comics the lovely people at Titan Comics gave us!! The Batman ones, the Manga ones and the other ones that you asked for when we were leaving…talk about freeloading!! We have got a couple of limited edition signed copies of a Tank Girl Graphic novel to give away but we should have had some others too..but OJ’s nabbed them! Email him at eleven.btpodshow.com and ask him to give them away too..cause hell only be using them as loo paper..
