Reckon I could do a 10 minute conversation with him about Colchester while sinking a pint. For £50 plus the pint and a pack of nuts

would be funny if he did a porky cameron and started talking about a team with similar colours.

‘yeah been a massive wednesday fan since I started working for the nme’

#252

he can’t really be like this surely he is self-aware and playing a character right?

#253

met him - he’s worse. a lot less friendly, if that was possible.

Spake presented a series for BBC TV, The Toughest Job in Britain and his second book is based on the jobs he was filmed doing. Such jobs included replacing the bulbs on Blackpool Tower and work on a turkey farm.

Spake’s back in the airport game!

I’m pleased about this because it was clear from the original Airport that he was very good at his job.

Apparently he lives on cider and salt and vinegar crisps so it should be a cheap evening.

Do you think Lamacq looks in the mirror and sings ‘Return of Lamacq’ ala Mark Morrison to himself?

I remember absolutely hating her in about 1998 when she insisted on telling the whole world that the lo-fidelity all stars would be the biggest band in the world.

Maybe I’m exaggerating but I just remember her introducing them at the Brighton music festival and saying “this is the last time they’ll play a shed like this” and thinking, cor this band will be good…and then being really confused when they were absolutely shit.
