Jonathon Ross. The Noel Gallagher interview was embarrassing even by southern standards. Avocado salad? Give the licence payers valuable money to the genius that is Ray Mears.
Gary’s bullshit #2: The sword and the walking stick
“Alan. Look, you see that bloke over there?” “Which one?” “Skinhead, full length leather jacket, glasses, walking stick, and a heavy limp.” “Oh right, what about him?” “Well, you see his walking stick? It’s actually a sword.” “Fuck off Dicker! You’re so full of shi…” “…No listen, he’s had that limp all his life, you… Continue reading Gary’s bullshit #2: The sword and the walking stick
Gary’s bullshit #1: Double heavyweight boxing
“Of course you know that there’s one weight heavier than heavyweight in boxing”. Gary spoke with such adult like authority that I had no choice but to believe him. “It’s called the Double heavyweight division. The thing is there’s only ever been one fight between two blokes that were so big that they killed each… Continue reading Gary’s bullshit #1: Double heavyweight boxing
A freebie for CND
I heard on the news this morning that Red Ken is allowing CND to use a building in London, I don’t know which one, for a meeting without having to front the usual £20k.

Amir’s conduct… Continue reading Amir Khan, a proper name for a boxer
A Stress free life?
I read in a health book the other day that Tea, Alcohol and Curry should be avoided because they cause unnecessary stress. So without them we’?d all become smug, stress free, friendly and relaxed? I couldn’t think of anything worse, what a nightmare!
Denmark
For Paul and Rickie’s seventies wedding I managed to find a smart black suit in a second hand shop on Hammersmith High Street. I was quite pleased with my buy, which is why I was a bit pissed off when it caught fire after I staggered onto one of those garden candles. You’ll find that… Continue reading Denmark
Fat Colin
Fat Colin, or Fat C*** depending on whether or not his gut has just sent you crashing across the bar, is the other person that reads the Boomablog. Think Greek island, Arsenal top, those mini cigars, Chas ‘n Dave and pints of vodka and orange. Whatever image you have in your head, times it by… Continue reading Fat Colin
