Stairway from Heaven

I've been watching too much Grand Designs lately - dreaming of a Modernist German prefab/barn conversion/Georgian townhouse with a lake.

Anyhoo, if i ever get one it's gonna have these stairs.

New Cash Money - Marvellous

How cool do our new coins look?

And the result of a design competition to boot.

TRIHS-T

Very clever and you can buy one from here

Low Expectations

Saw Patrick Watson at Scala last night. There's pretty much nothing i can say that would do the performance justice.

It really was one of those gigs.

Patrick Watson standing on a chair in the
middle of the crowd singing without amplification.


After the support (Miracle Fortress's Five Roses was one of my records of the year last year, seen them twice now and they're a little loose live - still, they're about 12 years old too so they'll have plenty of time to get things together) we were in the smoking area and got chatting to Patrick - charming fellow, albeit a bit mad. Sean sarcastically said that we had low expectations of the gig so he shouldn't feel pressured. This went on to be a bit of a theme for the performance ending with the band 'improvising' a song called Low Expectations.

If you want to hear him sing buy Close to Paradise or go here

"Searching! Looking for love..."

I'm becoming infatuated with the search terms people are entering into Google or wherever and then finding themselves at this blog. For instance, if you enter the term 'Nude Ladies' into Google, which i think we all agree is a pretty broad search term, my blog appears on page 7.

SEVEN!

That means this blog is ranked about 70th out of 676,000 for nude lady content. Sorry to disappoint porn fans, but you'll remain rather flaccid at girtbigstick.

Incredible - anyhoo, here's my latest top ten of terms that have brought the user to my domain of disappointment.

da da da, da da da - DA DA DA DA DA DA, DA Da da daaaa......


In at 10. no mammograms please it's 'nude ladies with boobs'...

At 9. thinking of Felicity Kendall it's 'nice ladies nude'...

Down two places at 8. it's Grandpa's favourite 'massive boobs granny sex'

7. It's back to the golden age of porn with 'old ladies nude boobs'

Straight in at 6. it's even 'older ladies massive boobs'

Last week's no 1 is this weeks no 5. You're simply the 'best sexy ladies boobs'

At 4. we're thinking big is beautiful with 'im looking 4 sexy fat nude ladies'

Up to 3. lets do sex with some 'sexy ladies doing sex'

At 2. the girls aren't needed as long as we can see 'people sexing massive boobs'

And this weeks no 1. it's the inspired, the brilliant 'whole sexy ladies doing sex' - Not half!

Holy Shit!

Being the Nature Boy that i am, i spent a lot of time during my youth out and about catching anything that wasn't quick enough to get away. Burrnett's Moths, Chalk Hill Blue and Small Blue Butterflies, Slow Worms, Sand Lizards, Frogs, Toads and my favourite - Newts.

Happy Hampshire days they were too. If i'd been brought up in China or Japan however i might have bumped into one of these scary MoFos - and probably wouldn't have such rosy memories.


Certainly puts the Giant in Giant Salamander.

Too Good

Pretty much the most perfect piece of street art i've ever seen.

Honestly nicked from the always excellent Wooster Collective
