Smoking Monkey Gets Political

Dear All

I wouldn’t usually use this site for anything other than random thoughts, slagging off crap TV, or generally taking the mick out of TechnoScouse. However, this is something that I feel really strongly about and not just because it’s potentially my job on the line.

As you may or may not have picked up, I am a criminal defence solicitor. Not the most popular profession in the world, but a pretty damn important one. The profession offers an assurance that everyone, no matter who they are or what they have allegedly done, has someone to speak on their behalf if they are accused of a criminal offence.  Read more...

I have seen the finest example of an alternative to this rat race we call modern life… that example, is Ray Mears.

For those of you who have no idea who i am talking about, Mears is a softly spoken chap, commonly seen wearing assorted shades of khahi green in forests around the world. Quite simply he is the finest thing on BBC 2 (apologies to anyone outside the UK… you have no idea what you’re missing)  Read more... (980 words, estimated 3:55 mins reading time)

Time again for the latest installation of my internationally acclaimed blog. I can now actually claim that, because for some unknown (but appreciated) reason, I have devoted readers in the US, Holland, and Coventry. I am truly humbled!

Today I would like to share a little information about one of Techno Scouse’s favourite past-times. Don’t get your hopes up, I am not allowed to tell you all about her life as a burlesque performer, or how the act involves fire-eating, sequins, and usually several members of the audience passing out through exhaustion. Sorry… but my life’s at stake!  Read more... (1290 words, 2 images, estimated 5:10 mins reading time)

The British Cult of Celebrity

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

Good evening ladies and gentleman

Firstly, I will offer a caution and sincere apologies for my current attitude. I am on a major buzz as i have been read by people other than Techno Scouse (Monkeh to some). I have to be honest, and admit I had my doubts that anyone would read this, let alone enjoy it.

Anyway, today’s rant is brought to you by the vacuous chunks of crap that appear to float on the top of the pool of society. I speak of course of the Celebrity culture, documented by the high-class journalism of Heat magazine.  Read more... (1314 words, 2 images, estimated 5:15 mins reading time)
