I'm in the doorway it's the one across the Mall...

♫Homeless
Homeless
Mobile ringing in a shop doorway♪

So sang that there Paul Simone after he'd dumped that Arse Garfunkymonkey because he kept calling him Al.

or something.

Anyhoo, I was in The City yesterday munchtime returning from a useless visit to HMV1, when I decided to have a healthy lunch from Subway (Eat Flesh, as them Zombies say). So I traversed down that bit with the American Sweetie Shop With The Hot Babez on the right, and WH Smiths on the left.

And in the closed off doorway bit of WH Smith there huddled a tramp.

A foul smelling knight of the road, clad in rags buried in a sleeping bag and a plethora of blankets.

"Cough, cough! Urgh! You couldn't help an old altar boi, cudja Father? Gorrany spare change furra cuppa tea Mr Karras? Your mother darns socks in Hell!"

When all of a sudden....

"huuuuuhhhHHHRRRNYOMm nom noom nyeargh!"

Oh wait... sorry... that was Des the Hippopotato eating the last, of my, cauli,flower! Too much time listening to Timperley's finest! A thousand apologies master, I shall continue with my Fantastic Blog.

When all of a sudden....

Ring-a-ding-a-dingly-dell-ding!

The tramoid reached into his vomit ridden vest and pulls out his mobile. Flips it open and has a quick chat of the "gotta go, talk to you later" variety.

Tramps! With Jellyhones! I know them feral Council Estate benefit scrounging ASBO ridden shagabouts off Jeremy Kyle get their phones, mobile tablet devices, X-Boxes, PS3's, HI-Def 52" 3D tellies with cinema sound speaker system, free council house built to their spec and beer and pie money off Benefits otherwise their cannibalistic offspring will DIE if they are forced to spend a week stacking shelves in Quidland, but...

...tramps with gel in bones!

Not for him the special brew, soup kitchen, hostel or Maccy D's to live on. Far more important to get a helping hand with work and housing by begging for cash to cover your contract!

"But Xym, perhaps he's on Pay-As-You-Go?2"

Yeah, who needs a cup of tea? Spend them hard begged pennies prized from passers-by for that alleged cup o' tea on a Pay-As-You-Go-From-Shop-Doorway-To-Shop-Doorway tariff to tell other gutter slumberers of the best places to get a rat onna stick, the least widdled in doorways, the best string to tether your dog to a bicycle post to, or the spot the Pretties in the shortest skirts that blow up in the breeze pass by so you can lay on your bed of blankets ogling gussets from the gutter.


or something.

Homeless folk with gel in phones indeed!

1 THEY NEVER LEARN. LAST MONDAY, FRANKENWEENIE CAME OUT - £19.99 IN HMV, 13.99 EVERYWHERE ELSE. THIS MONDAY, 80'S LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR FROM BEYOND WAS RELEASE. DOES HMV STOCK IT? DO THEY BUGGERY FUCK AS LIKE! IT'S ALL WALL TO WALL HEVILY DISCOUNTED ONE DIRECTION AND OTHER SHITE. SO I ENDED UP ORDERING OFF AMAZON. AS USUAL.

2 PAY AS YOU GO, MY BEST HAT! PAYG WAS SCRAPPED YEARS AGO, AND REPLACED WITH CRAP TARRIFFS. PAYG MEANS PAYG - YOU PAY AS AND WHEN, AND TOP UP AS AND WHEN. WHEN YOU GET SEAN BEAN BLATHERING ON ABOUT O2'S PAYG, NOTE WHAT HE SAYS. "PAYG ON O2. JUST TOP UP £10 A MONTH..." - THAT'S NOT PAYG - THAT'S A MONTHLY CONTRACT AT £10PM!  PAYG MEANS YOU CAN PUT £10 ON THIS MONTH, AND NOT HAVE TO TOP IT UP FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS IF YOU USE IT INFREQUENTLY. PAYG MY SHIT SPLATTERED ARSENUGGETS!

?? ??? ???? Evangelion 3.33: You Can [not] Redo
?? ??? ???? Kill Bill Redux
Volumes 1 & 2 re-edited into one movie
?? ??? ???? Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut
Remember Nightbreed? Snatched out of Clive Barker's hands and the last minute and butchered into a crapfest that made no sense, lost the whole plot and now impossible to get hold of? Well, Clive Barker recently found his VHS copies of the original footage that was thought lost. The film has been painstakingly reconstructed and re-edited to reflect the original vision. This "rough cut" is apparently really fucking brilliant, and pisses all over that shambles that was originally hacked to pieces for the original 1990 release. Obvs, as the extra footage is from Clive Barkers personal VHS collection, it's not great picture quality. However, turns out the "lost" footage isn't lost at all - Morgan Creek are still in possession of it! A negotiation has been agreed for them to release the footage for an uncut special Blu-Ray release... as long as they don't have to pay to produce it. WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Neil Gaiman - Yes, Neil is writing a new Sandman! This will cover the events Morpheus mentioned prior to his capture by Burgess. From Neil himself: "When I finished writing The Sandman, there was one tale still untold. The story of what had happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in The Sandman #1, and why he was returned from far away, exhausted beyond imagining, and dressed for war. It was a story that we discussed telling for Sandman's 20th anniversary... but the time got away from us. And now, with Sandman's 25th anniversary year coming up, I'm delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told,"

Angles of Harlem...

...shakin' their booty!

What is it with this new craze? Everywhere I look - Facebook, Forums, Tinternet, it's all besplattered with that there Harlem Shake.

I'd prefer a harem shake - nubile young scantily dressed bellydancers... or just nubile young scantily dressed babes - shakin' their charms in me face.

But noooo - it's all Harlem Shake.

Which seems to be a 30 second blast of a cacophony of noise.

The first half being one persons swaying about in fancy dress. The second half being lots of people in fancy dress rampaging about like mentals.

I must be missing something, but for the life of me, I can't think what. It makes no sense.

ah, apparently, it's an internet Meme.

One of them things people post to shout Lookit Me me me me, acting like a total nobend.

Guess I must be getting old...
