Punk's not dead - it just emigrated...

"While punk rock may seem passé in today's Britain, the movement's dedicated fans around the world are keeping the old doctrine of nihilism and anarchy alive...."

Some thoughts on The Beano

I wrote a piece on The Beano
for The Guardian (for overseas
readers it is an enduring UK
comic). You can read it here.

Righting Updates

Well, I've spent the past year writing a novel and today I pretty much finished the first draft and edit.

To keep myself sane I've been writing these silly little poems about Axl Rose every day. A few months back I thought I actually was Axl Rose. It was fun for a while, and then things turned really dark.

I got corn-rows, a Harley etc.

Anyway, updates on that project are coming hard and fast - just like a Slash guitar solo, or Axl in the sack:

You can disseminate and disregard here:

Big beef with a junglist

Ten years ago I found myself in a 'beef' with drum 'n' bass nerk Goldie.

I just found some of the words that we exchanged in the UK press so
thought I would put them here for my own amusement, if not yours too.

Flat for rent in South London. Affordable. Use of swimming pool.

Lets get formal for a moment.

Hello MySpacers -

I'm renting my flat out in South London.

It's a studio flat, affordable, ideal for one (or maybe two) people, and more importantly has a bloomin' HEATED SWIMMING POOL in the back garden.

So you can live like a pimp without, you know, exploiting ho's.

It's free from Sept 1st.

Interested parties can reach me here or on e-mail: ben_myers@btinternet.com

’Countryfile’ is 20

BBC show 'Countryfile' is 20 years old. That is over 1000 Sunday morning hangovers it has catered for.

I've written an article for Caught By The River to mark the occasions.

(This may mean nothing to overseas readers. In fact, it may mean nothing to many UK readers too)
