I have been blog tagged by Adrian. This has proved tricky for somebody who has been blogging so much as I have but I’ve managed to dredge up a few things:

1 I was a muse for some of the most popular bands of all time. Although I was never mentioned in the sleeve notes, I have appeared in several pieces of album art:

Sergeant Peppers

Joshua Tree

And Nevermind

2 I’m a trained assassin. But because of my oath of professionalism I’m not allowed to talk about my successes only my failures.

Assassination of Hitler

Assassination of Judas

Assassination of Bono

There’s still time Bono.

3 as you can tell from the list of marks (see it must be true I have all of the lingo down) I am incredibly old. Here’s what I’d look like if I didn’t shave at least once a century.

4 Because I’ve been alive so long and I’ve accumulated so much knowledge I have to use multiple brains. Here’s a picture of my collection

5 see how one of the brains has a distinctive veil drawn over it? Well that’s the brain we don’t like to talk about. It was damaged in a bizarre gardening accident. And so we usually draw a distinct veil over it (although to be honest it often wears a Burka and forces us to refer to it as Jennifer).

Anyway here is a photo story of how the brain got damaged, “Damn you Bono!”

Sometimes I have recurring nightmares about that. Yeah I feel I’m stuck in a moment I can’t get out of.

You may, if you’re lucky, get some real 5 things at some point soon.

I went to the design museum yesterday with Katherine to see the Alan Fletcher exhibition (no not the chap that plays Karl Kennedy on Neighbours he’s here)

Afterwards we bought his book and then tried to slip into the design museums bag a Marks and Spencer bag of liquid gravy and a bar of chocolate and look what happened:

Now that’s what I call bad design!

New from Gamboling: Lake Geneva Crisps – for when you want crisps that taste exactly like that lake you know and love*

*May not actually taste like a lake or like crisps.

Sometimes in the pub you find yourself creating a sitcom staring one of your friends. No? Maybe it’s just us then. While out with Steve Mannion the other day a bunch of us created our vision for him of a sitcom / action adventure where Steve was a hard talking, fast shooting librarian who shot first and lent books later.

Anyway, here’s the trailer I made for it:

“Book” tickets now?
