About Us & Press
You know you're in trouble when you write a Technical Difficulties Update and then that deletes itself, don't you?
OK, so it doesn't take a genius to discover that hecklerspray has been a little bit on the shagged side over the 18 hours or so. At various points our homepage has told you that it's November 2006, last Friday, some of yesterday (but not all of
...If you're anything like us, you spent the Christmas period playing interminable board games with members of your extended family, getting mown down by 10,000 toddlers on Heelies everywhere you went and wondering why nobody from hecklerspray was asked to contribute to that Most Annoying People Of 2006 show that was on BBC3 on Sunday.
But it's now 2007 - a brand new year full of fresh starts and exciting new

It's the last day of the week that Christmas was in, and that means it's time for the last of our Spray Picks 06 - where the hecklerspray writers look back on the year and go "Cuh, what was supposed to have happened there?"
Today is a doubly difficult day for us. Firstly we have to try and pretend like this wasn't written back in April to disguise the fact that actually we're all off riding the hecklerspray yacht to our private 90,000 acre lapdancer plantation in the Maldives, and secondly we've already listed our favourite music, films and TV of the year. What's left? Best DVD? We did that last year and it was rubbish. Best meal? That's just ridiculous. Best person? OK, looking back we probably should have gone with Best Person, but it's too late for excuses now. Instead, we're looking at the hecklerspray writers' favourite things of the year. Unforgivably vague, we know, but it's thrown up some fairly mental answers.hecklerspray's things of the year - cominatcha after the jump...
It's day three of Spray Picks 06 - where we half-heartedly make up for not giving you any real news by lazily cobbling together a retrospective on the year gone by in the vague hope that you won't really notice. Yay! Today, to make up for the fact that we're all off riding diamond-studded jetskis across a man-made lake of melted rubies, all the hecklerspray writers have put their heads together and had a long think about the TV shows that we all liked the best from 2006. Now, there's every chance that this is the nine billionth 'Best Of' list you've read this week alone, but this is one you should really pay attention to. Why? Because when it comes to bumming around watching hour upon hour of bad television simply because the remote control is slightly out of reach and it's too much effort to get up, hecklerspray is world class. Find out the TV shows that rocked our world after the jump...
If you're reading this on December 27, it's probably because you've already steamed through all the presents you were given for Christmas, eaten all the sweets you were given for Christmas and realised that you hate all your family.
And who's to blame you for coming to hecklerspray for comfort? We're always here for you no matter what, with the fat milky teat of celebrity news for you to suckle upon. Except for right now. We're taking this week off - and today we're go-karting in Dubai with Uri Gellar - and to make up for our absence we're giving you Spray Picks 06, a daily rundown of shit that we thought was cool this year. Why? Because we're lazy and our opinion matters.
Today - hecklerspray's favourite movies of 2006, after the jump...
Ah, Boxing Day. Did you know that Boxing Day traditionally got its name from the time your mother - fuelled by self-loathing from all the food she ate 24 hours earlier - punched a bishop to death for looking at her funny? True story.
But anyway, today isn't just Boxing Day - it's day one of Spray Picks 06. Spray Picks 06 is a four-day-long retrospective of the year gone by, where our esteemed staff of writers choose a whole bunch of stuff that they liked from the worlds of music, cinema, television and a vague other world we sort of invented to make up the numbers. OK, we'll admit it, Spray Picks 06 was originally going to be called Let's Stick This Up Between Christmas And New Year And Hope Nobody Notices That We're Bunking Off, but thanks to headline character limits, Spray Picks 06 it is.
Anyway, we're starting off today with our CDs of the year, and you can find the enlightening list right after the jump...
Well then, that's it for hecklerspray regular for 2006. Immediately after writing this we're going to lock ourselves in a small room to mentally steel ourselves ahead of a solid week spent playing endless games of semi-drunk, weirdly competitive games of Monopoly with our family.
But what a year 2006 has been. We've had tears - Steve Irwin getting bumped
...Shawn Lindseth may well have enlisted the help of the Catholic church to try and wrestle complete control of hecklerspray from me at the start of the week, but he didn't count on the superb array of connections that I've built up in my short lifespan.
Thanks to me being on first-name terms with two of the biggest enemies of the Catholics - Madonna and the fibre optic wig that Tom
