Another Great Street Name Spot

This time was only round the corner from where I work, but I never spotted it before. Classic.

Going Bananas

I was in London Zoo with a couple of mates this weekend gone when they decide they are hungry in the gorilla section. So what does Izas decide to eat at this convenient time? A banana! Next to the gorillas.

Going Bananas?

Middlesex University BA Hons Graphics student on my first week. I began to doubt whether I chose the right University.




More Great Newspaper Headlines

Another thing I tweeted about recently that I’ve got round to posting – The Sun came up with this great u couldn’t make it up related headline. Incase you wondered the article is about a primary school kid couldn’t share her birthday cake her gran made with the other kids at school for health and safety reasons.

Kit Kat Chunky 4 Finger Pack

As I tweeted earlier today by friend Tom has made a Kit Kat chunky 4 finger pack. This all came about after we had a group conversation about chocolate bars in the pub for ages and Tom confessed his love for Kit Kat Chunkies. We thought of making a 4 finger pack and low behold he actually pulled out more creative effort than he did in 3 years as a fine art student and made this beauty. The proper wrapping, foil and the four fingers ‘glued’ together with melted chocolate.

I since got told at work about Pimp That Snack – which has lots more pimped up snacks. Unsurprisingly.




2 Oversized Cigarettes, 1 Cactus & Spiderman

The events I’m about to describe are from a night out from a few years ago. I was in my then local pub with a few friends on the quiz night. That night my smoking friends/art students decided to make 2 large cigarettes as mascots for our team. Bare in mind we are in some old mans pub and we were the only youngsters in there – these props were a little over their heads.

Clive The Postman

Clive The Postman

Firstly, above Is Clive the local postman. I never got it, he was a postman but always hammered in our pub til early hours and I thought postmen got up in the early hours so not sure how that works??

Below is the pub landlord, on this night he wasn’t working behind the bar and was quite merry that night shall I say. Well he seemed to enjoy the cigarette props and started having a ’sword fight’ with the cigarettes with my housemate across the pub. Like you do.

Fagg fight?

But more to the point. The key aspect of this post. So all night we were wondering where one of the other locals Pete was that night, nearing the end of the night someone got a phone call saying he was on his way to pub for around midnight. Later on he came on in, but what does a 40 yr old bloke come in with on his own with into a pub at midnight? Well as you can guess – a lifesize spiderman and a cactus he managed to find on his journey to the pub. If you could think of 2 more random objects I don’t believe it. He enjoyed our cigarettes too.

Where do you get a Spiderman from?

And a cactus??

But loving our cigarettes!

Having fun!

Sex Toys For The Kitchen

I was at my friend’s Craig and Iza’s place recently when I was in their kitchen looking for a fork or something when I open the wrong draw to find this.

I couldn’t stop laughing, what is this object resembling a sex toy? Well it’s for protecting bananas from getting squashed while still keeping them fresh, but really we all know what you really use it for you Yorkshire foooooooker.

Some innocent fun?

Oh it's for bananas!

Nike Freestyle Champion

Me and Tom at Wembley

Me and Tom at Wembley

In the previous post I mentioned how I had to grope the breasts of the Nike Freestyle Champion 2003’s girlfriend. I say 2003, but truth is I can’t remember exactly the year, but it was something like that. I also said he gave me his business card, I would love to show you all it, but it was 2 years ago and I can’t find it now!

Anyway, more to the point, the relevance of this article!

As you can see I was at Wembley stadium with my mates Oli and Tom from back home. We were watching the big game – Ebbsfleet v Torquay in the big cup final. At half time the entertainment was announced. I thought I heard them announce it was from the ‘Nike Freestyle Champion 2003.” Wheels were turning inside my brain and I thought that’s the guy from the Zoo night! The camera then zoomed in on him on the big screen and it was him! I turn to my mates and say “I groped his girlfriend’s boob for a photo shoot.”

Who's this? It can't be?

Zoo Man Photo Shoot

A few years ago I embarked on a bizarre evening that most men would dream about. After some hassling and begging :) I managed to be a photographer’s assistant for a Zoo online photo shoot. The photo shoot was to follow the Zoo man hang out in Embassy night club in Soho, London with Miss GB contestant Lisa Lloyd Hughes.

This is the full story with photos never seen before until now.

When we got there the guy from Zoo online didn’t want to be photographed that night because he had a cold sore on his lips and wondered if I wanted to replace him. Well obviously I took not much time to say yes, I mean 1 I’m a man and 2 I like wierd unusual situations so this was perfect for me!

My job criteria was to wear the Zoo t-shirt, be the Zoo man, hang out with the Miss GB contestants and look like I’m having a good time with lots of flirting (this was the briefing!).

At first it felt wierd doing this, let alone the models, comparing myself to the rest of these fame hungry people I was surrounded by the sort of people I don’t normally associate with. Then after 5 minutes I got right into it. I was asked to be more flirtatious and cheeky, but it’s quite surreal for an average guy like me suddenly to able to grope any stunning model whatever way I can because these models are desperate to have there photo taken with the Zoo man and then in turn get the photo published online.

The blond haired girl bought me a £12 drink, surely the man should buy the drinks!

The 3 girls above, after chatting in their booth for half hour asked if I wanted to go outside with them while they had a cigarette, so I did. Thing was they didn’t want the paparazzi to see me wearing the zoo t-shirt with them so they literally smuggled me past the paparazzi, I mean smuggled! There were quite a few paparazzi there that night too, I found out why a few days later, because Girls Aloud were in the private rooms in the upstairs part of the club.
