A remarkable interview with the presiding genius of the Saturday Morning Skank Spot.
Bapteme de Marmite
French people try Marmite for the first time. I think they spread it on a pancake. C’est bizarre.

Alex James from Blur has an Amazing Day at McDonald’s
A quick animated response to the utterly bizarre article about fast food chains that the former Blur bassist wrote for The Sun. If you think the film is unfair, then just read the offending article. It’s hard to believe that an intelligent man like Alex James could have written something so awful, a promotion piece for McDonald’s which appears to have been penned by an 8 year old.
The film is by Robin and Partridge, a comedy duo hitherto unknown to me.

Joking Apart
The great “lost” BBC2 sitcom from the early ’90s. I loved it but I’ve yet to meet anyone else who’s ever seen it. It was an early effort from writer Stephen Moffat, who is now widely-praised for his work on Sherlock and Dr Who. The Joking Apart wiki page is well worth reading.
The Tunnel Brewery thought it was a good idea to use an image of Santa performing an act of homosexual rape to sell its beer. Found on Pump Clip Parade, a site which describes itself thus: “Aesthetic Atrocities From The World Of Beer. We love the stuff, but bloody hell, some brewers should be tied up in hop pockets and beaten with malt-shovels.”
I’ll have to ask JaneR for her thoughts on the matter. She’s always right about this sort of thing.
Flickr user worldcrunch is fond of creating Flickr galleries of other users’ photos. This 1988 photo of mine featuring (from l.to r.) BeerLegKing, Jeff and Dawkeye on the beach in France, has recently been added by worldcrunch to one of his/her Flickr Galleries, a gallery called Gay Travel.
I wonder if this Flickr user worldcrunch has anything to do with the news site Worldcrunch?
