Vladimir PUTIN Do you want to save the EU or should I?
Barack OBAMA Go ahead, I can\'t afford it
This must’ve been back in ’83. I was on the road with Spandau Ballet - it must’ve been off the back of the ‘True’ album, a long player so massive John Keeble had to stand outside Tony Hadley’s door with a mace and a wild eye. I tell ya, some nights that slick iron ball’d be matted with [...]
Some say he speaks 18 languages, and can blend the cuisines of six continents into a Michelin starred taste extravaganza that can trigger the menopause in the more nervy female. Others say he can talk to stoats and has slept with seven women, almost all of whom are now blind. Strange cloaked men tell of his long Sheffield nights painting the [...]
After a Swedish gentleman horrifically slurred the roomyverse with the claim that we only have 4 readers, I have set out to discover exactly how many of you lovely folk actually visit us, so I can personally thank every man jack of you for stopping by and sharing a scatalogical scone. For those interested, and because [...]
Imagine you could speak on Twitter. Imagine everyone on Twitter, and facebook, could actually hear your voice. That’s AudioBoo, an iPhone app and desktop site that allows you to leave wee aural notes for all your ‘followers’. Perhaps you’re walking down the street when you suddenly catch the eye of a not so young & not so slim individual. An [...]

How does a film about a serial killer set during Pinochet’s reign in Chile end up being a feel-good movie? I think it was that cheery Glaswegian Football Manager Alex Ferguson who coined the phrase that Football was the ‘Theatre of the Working Class’. Historically he may have been correct, but the present cost of a [...]
All right, enough messing about with B movies and scat singers who may or may not exist, it’s time to spread some musical quality around these parts and treat your abused lug holes to a bit of Akira Ifukube. This frighteningly prolific Japanese composer scored over two hundred and fifty films before he died, but [...]
A few weeks ago now, our Roundcat posted ‘School Attempts 2001: A Space Odyssey’ one of our most popular posts ever, and which our Head Chef then dubbed onto the opening titles of Kubrick’s masterpiece. At the time we thought it was just a kid’s school band being really really shit, but it turns out this was [...]
