Oh just one more glass then.

May 14th, 2008

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 then there was this guy.

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?

Stack!

May 8th, 2008

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.

Big Decisions for A Big Guy

May 3rd, 2008

Life s beset by decisions. and I feel that I have reached a the cross road of one that will define me not just As Oliver James Borg D’Anastasi (yep, thats the full name, thanks for asking) Not just as a man. But as a Human being.

Many great leaders have taken decisions. Ceaser, Napoleon, Churchill (not the car insurance dog - although I’ve heard he is very decisive) and this point rates as high as anything those powerful men of history have battled with.

Doctors must make decisions on people lives but I still reckon this is bigger.

So what is this earth quaking choice, this 50/50 that is greater than god its self.

You sure you ready for this? Steel yourself my friend…….

Should I buy the new Grand Theft Auto 4 game on PS3 or Xbox 360?

You see I know more people who have the game on the Xbox but it just feels like a playstation game…..

You see what my tiny soggy mind has had to deal with?

So let me know which way I should go….. and if you know where I can actually buy a copy of the fucker from in either format then I’d be happy to hear it.

I look forward to hearing from you, you caring soul you.

OJ Goes Landboarding with a powerkite!!!

April 28th, 2008

Yup our resident stuntman (or gruntman in this case) has been out training. This time at becoming an ace powerkite flyer and radical big air landboarder type dude…

With no time to get down to the sea we decided our next best kiteboarding option was to go powerkiting and landboarding in London’s Richmond Park.. Oj met up with kiteboarding tutor Mark Parker from kitevibe who can teach you how to kiteboard, landboard, fly a kite and even snowkite.. taking you the whole way from safely rigging a kite, self launching, board skills etc

Oj got to try out some foil/ram air kites like the ozone frenzy, ozone access and ozone imp and another really powerful foil kite …he got to try out handles and using kites with depower systems like the ozone frenzy..

It twas another fun day out for OJ and he did actually learn how to kitesurf on land or landboard if you prefer, cause there is no surf in the park see.

Unfortunately he didn’t get his kite lines tangled or all screwed up like so many learner kiters do..which is a shame because it would have been great fun watch him spend an hour undoing his kiteflying lines..

If you fancy watching the extreme big air, huge kite jump, landboarding video here it is…I think pro kite boarder aaron hadlow better watch out cause Oj is gonna be hitting the pro kiteboarding circuit soon..!!

I love wind!!

April 25th, 2008

Yes I do. Not the from the rear kind (although being a Vegetarian keeps me close to that part of natures beauty)but proper wind from the sky’s or wherever wind comes from (I’ve heard ASDA are doing a smart price version) Anyhow thanks to Mark at kitevibe for a great lesson!

Thanks to him, his patience, knowledge, technique, ability to teach, but mainly me and my natural board skills I managed to get flying and moving on a landboard in one lesson. James knows its a great sport but failed to get up on his board and he’s being doing it for years (sorry Mr director thats why you shout action and I get to do it, kinda a perk of the job) and I’m gonna get out there again as soon as I have time..In the meantime its given me an idea for some more shows one on kitesurfing and snow-kiting…..be great fun to head to the beach and the mountains for a few days, and if I could convince the holders of the purse strings at Podshow to pay for it we’d do a whole series on it. Although my Arms were very sore the next day. And not the usual soreness my arms get (its usually more int he wrist for some reason)

I reckon we should do more of these shows cause they are like a fun day out combined with work…. much to James’s chargrin (never used that word before but it looks wicked doesn’t it)

Gnarly Board dude?

April 25th, 2008

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

Featured based excitement

April 24th, 2008

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.


Head ache, work, Food.

April 24th, 2008

owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

My head feels like someone ran over it and James is not happy. Not happy due to the fact that he came in early so we could film the intro to the latest Eleventh (which should be up later today - If James pulls his finger out) but I went out last night for a quiet drink and ended up drinking my way through the entire cocktail list in a brazilian bar, then ended back at someones house drining my way through a bottle of Vodka arriving home at around 4am. So when my alarm went off this morning it could a large portion of “shut your face” and was turned off meaning that I dragged my sorry ass into the office a lttle over 5 hours late. Well done me.

But battling through my vomituos feelings we have done it and James is now (slowly) beavering away to bring you another super taste of Eleventh Commandment goodness. I think we should all rise and give him the clap clap his sterling work.

I would like to tell any kids reading this that drinking is not big, or clever.

But it will make you cool. Carry on.

Danica Patrick wins the Japan Indy 300

April 24th, 2008

Yes danic patrick has made indy car history by being the first female to win the The Indy 300 Japan, she beat two-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves by almost six seconds!!!.. You may remember that OJ Interviewed the Andretti Green Racing driver (michael andretti sure knows how to pick em) last summer in San Francisco before shooting a Go Daddy ad with Candice Michelle. Danika Patrick herself a tv veteran has being in several Go Daddy commercials as well as featuring in Sports illustrated, FHM , Maxim and is constantly voted one of the sexiest women out there. But Danica Patrick has not appeared naked, done racy photos or exposed herself like many other sexy girls who come high in theses polls. Why cause to put it in simple man terms dannica patrick is a hot chick, who races very fast cars and wins.

Despite a tough indy car racing schedule Danika Patrick exposed herself to OJ ( not physically guys but verbally!!) in our interview with her which we did at the infineon raceway track in the napa valley.

Personally I thought that danica patrik was really cool, easy going and friendly to talk to….as with many stars its the ‘people’ around them who have the attitude!!

Here is the Danica patrick video interview in case any of you fancy seeing it again. And as our soundman said she’s intelligent and a great racing driver but well sexy that danika patrick!!..funnily enough no he wasn’t English but pure yankee..odd sprouting cockney lingo like that..oh well I guess sexy women who drive fast cars have that effect on men. Not our OJ though he was professional to the end and got to race a a big engined, hot rod, muscle indy car (well not really he sat in the rear seat!! but still an awesome experience.)

Dannika Patrick has just made indy car history:)

And in case you also want to see Danica Patrick making indy car history by being the first female driver to win the Indy 300 Japan here is the actual race and on the spot interview..


Totty!

April 21st, 2008

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.
