DAY TRIPPER

CBB REVIEW

I did'nt cry (a first), tonight lacked emotion. its over..now be gone with you all!

LAYING THE TABLE FOR DAVINA (Beaky Shouter)

It feels like its been on for months..i've enjoyed it though like i always enjoy BB. glad it's all ending tonight. don't really care who wins now. the favourites, chantelle and preston make me sick! the ordinary boys are going straight to no.1 i heard!? soo wrong in soo many ways...would be funny (for a second) if Kandyfloss knocked them off. anyway, i pray..PRAY!..Barrymore does'nt win. wacky barrymore! i can just see him..arghhh!..lapping up that dumb crowd of banner waving hairdressers? next week, barrymore presents itv2's new show..'DRUNK KIDS ON ICE LIVE'

Oh..i can hear the door *runs upstairs* ah..my housemate's just got back with a bottle whiskey (my traditional big brother drink of choice), i'll slip into some joggers and lounge wear, then i'll get the sofa ready..it'll be lit like a run-way for my HUGE arse to crash land on to. then, after tonight's BB show i'll be going to straight to lost luggage to pick up my life and after a couple of days leaving it in the hallway, i'll unpack it and pour the sand and sea-lebs down the plug hole.

CBB FINAL (3 Hours To Go)








GRANDADDY SPILT (Not From Grandmama)


Aw nor...Grandaddy have split up. that's sad, i love Grandaddy..i mean the band, i love the other two old dudes who hang out on golf courses and drink bitter as well. saw them a few times (the band, i see the other two every christmas and easter)..they were amazing at glastonbury '03! probably one of the best things that year. the other gig of that i remember well was at bristol uni back in 2001 i think. i snuck backstage (thats what i used to do back then, now i just stalk) and stumbled across their little after show party. they stook up for me when the evil baddies (bouncers) tried to chuck me out and invited me in and showed me the way to the fridge of beers and their rider, which was pretty much just fruit. the next thing i remembered was being woken up by one of the stewards surrounded by empty stella bottles, orange peel, and banana skins...rock n roll!! if you hav'nt got it, you gotta get 'Sophtware Slump' its about as perfect as an album can be..think i'll stick it on now actually. Thanks to Dudley for alerting me to the news.

ORANGE GOO (On The Studio Floor)


I was a little let down by friday's CBB eviction..not enough booing and hissing!! come on people! do i need to get down there to the house and show you how it's done? being a MASSIVE BB fan, i don't really know why i've never been to a live eviction? anyway..i expected eggs to be thrown, spit to be spat, and a jcb to dump 10 ton's of old 'heat' magazines on jodie marsh's orange air-head as she stepped out of the house. do you remember a time before reality celebrity programmes?? i'm finding it harder and harder to get excited by them now (my housemates may disagree). as i've always said..it'll only end when someone either kills themselves, or is killed by an fellow itv3-soapstar-fitclub-idol-fromhell contestant. that sure will be great to draw in court, then later animate and sell to a new cable channel. celebrities are melting..the word means nothing anymore. shame for fans like me. i'm looking forward to when we can look back on all this, it may be 10 years or so..but i bet i will be just as delighted to meet Jade Goody (BB3)* as i would seeing Boon** being born. i'm sorry future wife.

* = Jade has just opened a hair saloon/salon (which 1 is it? both v different i know) in my home town Hertford.

** = Boon is to be my name of my first son, or at least the middle name if future wife kicks off.

DFA MIXES


3 great mixes to download from DFA fellas James Murphy and Juan Maclean. thanks to funky_nomad for alerting me.

THE COURT ARTIST RETURNS

I returned back to work at the crown court the other day, got thrown straight into the deep end..within minutes i was hearing about how a man tried to kill himself with a kitchen knife after beating his wife up..it's not all jokes round here at beansonbread you know. anyway here are some of the things that go through my mind when hearing about these nasty things. i'm sure to get a call from the daily mail any day now. click on a image to see a larger version (and see the un-un-unbelievable detail that goes into each artistic court sketch, yeah)

















i wish those trainers existed. i've been searching but can't find any like them. i'll give addias a ring and see if they can start making them. if 50 cent, pharrell and the like can do it, so can Boonbeans!!

DON'T YER EVER MESS WITH THA MITCHELL'S

This made me chuckle...

'hard man johnny allen' pah! now..sonia IS hard! poor martin. could mr murray not just nip back to sun hill and revert back to his last character in 'the bill' and investigate the letter himself?

LISTEN TO THE GREATEST

'HUNKS IN TRUNKS' 2006 CALENDAR

Found right at the bottom of the woolworths bargin bin we find...the OFFICIAL beansonbread 2006 calendar! just print off each month and glue to your wall...you'll never be late for another meeting again. the calendar was orginally made for my only female housemate (to make up for the fact that i had bought the other two male housemates a 'girls aloud' calendar for xmas). it was painted at about 2am which explains why it's soo bad, and soo creepy. january's hunk is just too bad to include..his name is kevin from luton, and he's wearing shades if you really must know. enjoy the year ahead!!
