Time for a quik suit update. I’m sure you’re dying to know the latest, and it’s a quick way of doing a post to remind you all I’m not dead.
So after the lengthy ordering process, and the even more lengthy measurement debacle, I sent a stack of messages to the lovely people at bespokeway asking them to provide an updated ebay invoice for my optional extras.
And I waited.
And I sent 3 messages on ebay and another 2 emails.
Anyway, baring in mind that there’s a 4-5 week delivery time, and this is my Christmas present, I was obviously keen to get the ball rolling and the cloth a cutting! 5 days later though, I got a lovely email as follows:

Much grovelling and apologies for the delay in writing anything for almost a month. Due to assorted issues, problems, and pains in the arse, I’ve been unable to get my brain into blogging mode. As always I beg your forgiveness, and hope not to leave you bereft of my thoughts for so long again.
The good news is that I have a few embryonic post ideas, so when things are a little more settled I’ll be bombarding you with tirades of random crap like a chimp flinging shit in the zoo.
For today though, I thought I would set out the grounding for a future post. I have found, courtesy of ebay, what claims to be a ridiculously cheap website for the sale of besoke suits. I make it clear, this is not an endorsement or a criticism yet. Only time will tell which way the wind will blow, and I am hoping that given the high turnover of readers of this site I could be the making or breaking of this particular site.

Ah yes, the 22nd means a change in the astrological landscape, as Libra subsides to Scorpio. This may mean something to lesser future-tellers, but not to me. I am wise and experienced enough to know, however, that all it means is that an army of scorpions are making their way through space with plans to devour our Sun. nothing major.
Anyway, back to the future:
Scorpio: This month the Mystical Smoking Monkey has had a trip to Whittards, and bought some lovely loose-leaf tea. Never one to miss out on a spot of tasseography, I have read the tea leaves to decipher what lies in store for all you adorable little scorpions.
Your hopes of setting a world record with the hula hoop will be shattered, much like your hips. Perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to try it in the middle of a busy road in front of a truck. However, you will be runner up for “most retarded ambition of the week”. Congratulations.

Something a little different today, as it’s been a long week full of thrills, spills, and indeed spectacular triumphs over Greater Manchester Police who single handedly failed to get my client convicted. Oh yes, can’t beat it when a bench of Magistrates don’t believe the evidence of 5 police officers! Given that they didn’t believe my client either (as the dopey little twerp had managed to completely change his story between 9am and 12), I’m afraid that I really must take the credit.
I’m sorry, there is no other explanation. Fact.
On top of this superb example of my advocacy skills, this is the 50th post to be published on the site. There are a few other posts in the mental fermentation tanks, but they are not fully matured or worth putting up yet. Anyway, 50 not out. Can’t complain!

Dear reader, prepared to be astounded and astonished as the Smoking Monkey demonstrates yet another gift in his seemingly endless array of talents and abilities. After years of extensive training at the hands of eastern mystics, and also unravelling the mysteries of one of Russel Grant’s jumpers (and that’s a lot of wool), I have mastered the arts of interpreting the stars to predict the future.
You may mock, and you may scoff. I just have scoffed as a matter of fact, a substantial amount of Chinese food but that’s not relevant right now. How can you deny the science behind astrology? How can anyone question the concept of 1/12 of the population of the whole planet having an identical day purely based on which month they were born in. You fucking nay-sayers, always nay-saying. Just open your mind. Next you’ll be saying that mediums are talking toss as well, and that Derek Acorah is a fraud.
