The Um Bongo Call To Arms!

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
Which sick bastard changed Um Bongo?

This is progress?

It all becomes clear. All those tree-hugging-hippy-anarchist-wannabe-tosspots who smash up windows in anti-capitalist demonstrations might actually be onto something. I have seen the devastating impact corporations are having on Third World countries first hand, and it makes me sick to my stomach. It’s like taking the blue pill and waking up from the Matrix.

Which sick bastard changed Um Bongo?

For those who may not know about Um Bongo, allow me to explain. Or even better, watch the video below and allow Youtube to explain more eloquantly than I ever could. I don’t think it’s sold outside the UK, but I make no apologies for sounding parochial.

Dear readers,

Firstly, allow me to make yet another apology for the huge gap since my last post. Yes, I know I’ve actually missed an entire horoscope. I hope each of you did the only sensible thing possible in the circumstance and didn’t leave your house in case destiny was planning to violently offend you the second you stepped through your door.

It was the only option.

Anyway, I have been very busy, very stressed, and much as I enjoy writing for you dear people it would possibly have killed me.

I’m sure that my innocent and pure readership will never have been in such a situation, but have you ever watched a roulette wheel spinning? The way it rotates, seemingly forever as you wait in hope for your number to come up. Finally it bounces between the final few numbers, and you dejectedly sigh in abject disappointment that you were nowhere near.

Well I’ve just stepped off the scales, and had flashbacks to the panic and fear of an expensive night at the casino.

Regular readers, if there is such a thing as someone who reads this site that can be described in any way as “regular”, will know that I live in Manchester and so have the delights of the Trafford Centre to keep me distracted from the pain of modern reality. The Trafford Centre, for those who have never seen such a place, is a huge shopping centre/mall, full of assorted freaks and fashionistas. And me and TechnoScouse.


The Hills have eyes… but not much between the ears

Ladies and gentlewarts… there are times when the Bloggods bestow a great vision upon me. Today, I have gone to the mountain, and a great voice called out to me:

“Oi, you… yes, the bloke trying to dress like the Joker and in dire need of a shave. Yes, you… put those pissing pop-tarts down and listen. The Hills is on tonight. Seriously, if you like self-inflicted pain, you have to watch it. Sober.”
