foolfillment: the blog

I didn’t want to fall to the temptation of writing about football again but, here I am…

I don’t know how good it is in the rest of Britain but the Scottish metro’s letters page is always worth reading. Recent highlights including :
“I fancy myself as a bit of a hard man, does anyone want a fight?” and
“I have been a Metro reader for a while now and have wanted to write something into the letters page for ages. But I can never think of anything to say. Anyone got any ideas?”

I think the fact that complete strangers can be united by talking nonsense is what appeals to me most, and it struck me that it’s a bit like a blog. What do you have to say about that.

I tried everywhere to find contact details for Tennent’s but they have proven to be very elusive - even their own websites aren’t registered by them - so if anyone knows how to get in touch then could you send this on to them and let me know. Otherwise it’s an open letter to whoever happens across this site.

How do you get from Joy Division to BB King in 6 steps?


You know that thing where people say everyone is connected to everyone else in 6 or less steps? It’s a load of rubbish isn’t it? But i was thinking of something similar the other day. I saw a poster advertising a Stone Roses gig. (They haven’t reformed have they?) I was thinking it could be some gig if they got all the groups that are in some way connected : The Stone Roses, Primal Scream, The Seahorses, John Squire and Ian Brown. Loads and loads.
You could do the same sort of family tree with Blur, gorillaz, elastica, Graham Coxon. Oh and before I forget what is the new blur album like? The reviews on amazon don’t sound too promising and I feel if I get it then it’ll just get played once or twice then get left on the shelf beside other albums by bands that should have given up long ago.

Any other huge family tree things you can think of, big bruv must have a few.

I wrote in a previous entry that I wanted one and I knew that Kev had made it available but I’ll have to upgrade my hosting account to get MySQL support before I can use it so unless someone wants to buy it for me I’m not going to have a chattybox for a long time.

This system from Time was advertised in the paper today, and is really cheap.

my mind that is - i’ve nothing to say.

I did have thngs to say but I’ve forgotten them. things like how stupid i felt after i had put all the stuff in my pockets into my bag before i cycled into uni, chained my bike up, went to the lecture where i put my keys into my pocket from the bag and then put my wallet and change in my other pockets and then spent the next 5 minuites frantically checking all of the compartments and holes in my bag trying to find my keys having already forgotten i had just put them in my trouser pocket. gah!
yeah, i had loads of interesting things to say but now i can’t remember them so you’ll have to do the writing for me, what stupid things have you done recently?
