'Zero'


These blurry guys were, I guess, the comperes for the surreal talent showcase I went to last night. One of them is wearing a skeleton suit 10 sizes too small, and a bad glam-rock wig that he constantly played with while squeaking into the mic.

Kicking off with a cool DJ set ("no wonder the sound has so much body") every half hour these guys popped up to showcase some highly choereographed dance sets, which ranged from boy band pop, to 'reggae', which basically meant lots and lots and lots of skimpily clad high-speed ass&thigh vibrating of a pseudo-sexual nature (ie. sexual if you happen to be a gymnast rabbit on amphetamines). The six year-olds strutting their stuff to some heavy duty rap were particularly entertaining, especially when the DJ messed up their set and left them looking confused and lost on stage.

Overall a very entertaining night, and the perfect timing and sheer skill on display was impressive, although I would've appreciated the chance to actually get into the dancing without the dancefloor being overrun by seated spectators every 30 mins...

Hey dude hows things.

Tough news breaking round here recently. Especially the shock news about Shaun, took me by surprise, how are you doing? Send me an email:

jamesd.barrett@virgin.net

Internet has been down at my place for 3 weeks so only just had a look at your blog you busy young lad you.

Chinese new year was fun with more dumplings than I could shake a stick at, it was a real chance to bond with my chinese friends who have a brilliant sense of humour. It was also a good opportunity to chop a melon up with a massive (blunt) cleaver - well it looked impressive - maybe I should get more photos.

In other happenings me, Bano and Iain went of to Amsterdam for a "city break", well I think we managed to break something but I'm not sure what it was. I also went to my uncles 50th in Den Haag (The Hague) which was quality with go-karting, casino cash ownage, hotel party and tuxedos.

You got me thinking that we should make a return blog for you to visit and catch up with everything thats been happening round here unless someone else is keeping you up to date. Might be a chance for me to get involved with a bit of gossip gathering (although Argles is the master of that and tbh are you really that interested in gossip).

Alice has moved out and an Aussie guy called Pete has moved into Cannon Hill Road with us.

Apart from that I'm not sure what else is interesting at the moment, the sandwiches at university house suck btw.

I loved the picture of the "super heros" fighting outside the snow castle - absolutely 1st class.

Anyway, bye for now.
