This week’s walking and speed walking.
Folded:
- Hecklerspray almost won another award (now if we can just bring back Dear Dennis the world will be okay again)
- Barack’s in (and even we’re hopeful)
- Daeth By Dislexya: An Animation (funny, bizarrely touching and features exploding heads – ladies and germs, the work of Mr Shawn Lindseth)
- The Wrestler (not as good as they’re saying, but still pretty alright)
- Marisa Tomei (watch The Wrestler if you need reminding)
Creased:
- Lauren Laverne (everywhere you don’t want her to be)
- Stuart Maconie (co-chairs Style on Trial with Laverne. No exactly stylish)
- Birmingham (well, you wouldn’t book a holiday there)
- Lady Gaga (think her last single was annoying? Wait ‘til you hear this)
- Mince pies (yeah, they’re cheaper than chips at the moment, but for heaven’s sake don’t eat ‘em)

oh but is he president? there was a pretty massively over-the-top news story on it last night. it had interviews with people and everything.
its ok to be president if you cant read, write or speak properly, but if you get 2 words wrong in the oath, YO ARE OUT YOU SCUMBAG!
Birmingham is creased? how very dare you!
congrats, hecklerspray! remember: second place is first to lose!
Oh, I guess Birmingham’s not so bad. It’s got a lot of concrete.
I feel I must defend mince pies. Picture this:
A cold winter morning. That first bite, eating while hitching in open-mouthed, cooling breaths; hoping against hope that the tongue is not too burned to render it unable to fully enjoy the taste the rest of the crusted miracle. Then blowing into it, feeling the warm meaty returned exhalation – like a carnivorous angel’s breath, or a lover’s welcome touch on our cheek. As we progress through the pie – rotating it if we must, sometimes to the point of becoming masters of pastry prestidigitation in an effort not to soil our clothing – each bite is a delight tinged with sadness as our tasty, but finite resource is consumed.
God, I really love pies, me.
Good call, Lauren Laverne is a pain in the ass. My girlfriend’s been watching that Orange Unsigned thing and her waffle makes me ashamed to be a geordie.
You can rest easy then Horror. She’s a Makem. You are free from disapprobation by association. My ex’s sister wanted to clean her clock back when she was in Kenickie. I still don’t know why we stopped her.
