Time is moving by so fast at the moment. One minute it's the morning, the next it's nearly the end of the day. I must be doing too much again. Eating too much "Table Cream" (like blancmange) probably doesn't help - Kirsty decided she didn't like it, so I had the whole 1 pint worth to myself. (I had thought that I was doing okay until the last few mouthfuls when I realised that half the quantity...

I should be at the gym tonight. Should be huffing and puffing to stay fit and tone up that bloody blancmange. Instead, I sit here counting down the seconds to when I can have a glass of wine and packet of peanuts instead, while watching a football match on the telly I don't really much care for. And that's hardly healthy is it? I might as well be sat here smoking a cigar while injecting granulated...

After last night’s round of interviews with Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce, one thing is clear about the Coalition’s climate change policy. No one believes in it. They’ve come to this pass because of the momentum of the twin drives to dethrone Malcolm Turnbull and the internal politics of climate change denialism in the Coalition and [...]

That giant blancmange of a flyer above is exhorting you to get down to Cable for Chew The Fat and watch the cream of UK bass music (and Mumdance) mash it up a week on Friday. Looks amazing, don't miss! It's also in association with the We Fear Silence guys, who've offered us a guestlist plus one for you guys - so if you want to get yourself and a mate in for free, just email an answer to this question...

I don't know if it's just me falling for a stereotypical situation populated by, well, stereotypes, but I feel like my local leisure centre is letting me down. While I immediately feel ridiculously intimidated by those with well toned bodies and bulging muscles (as I shuffle in my with my bowl of blancmange of a chest), I do sort of expect to see some well-defined specimens of the human form working...

To the Abbaworld exhibition opening this week with the Man-About-Town, Paul and Nelson. And by jove, what a good time was had by all! I think we were amongst the last to leave, having availed ourselves of the infinite opportunities for pissing around on the interactive elements, ideal for a failed theatrical like me. I scored hardly anything on the Abba interactive quiz (even the easy ones are a bit...

The "things that you can't do in pop music anymore" thread made me think of the many alterations to lyrics that used to be made to pop songs to shield me and my fellow pop kids from filth and debauchery - usually when performed on Timmy Mallett's Crazy Saturday Banana Madhouse. Due to the efforts of these fine people, I entered adulthood in a state of grace. Some examples from my own memory:...

It’s a sad day today. NASA has conceded defeat in its attempts to get the Martian sands to yield up its rover vehicle “Spirit”. The unfortunate mechanical geologist found itself mired in the “mud” of Mars last May having spent the previous five years roaming the rust red countryside of our near neighbour. “Spirit”’s sister/brother/other, “Opportunity”...

I had an urge earlier this week to make up some jelly, I don't know why, and I haven't had it for years, but it does evoke childhood memories of jelly at parties and for special treats. I also remember eating it in it's 'raw' state - did anyone else do that? Jelly at parties always used to be on plates or bowls in those traditional jelly like shapes. Oh how I loved it. Alongside that was the infamous...

A good number of hits on this duo's album Guardian Jackson and her collaborator Ben Langmaid – fans of Heaven 17, Vince Clarke-era Depeche Mode and Blancmange – go for the full Sealed Knot approach, to the extent that when you hear something that dates to a point after 1983, it gives you a jolt.

If you don’t read veteran showbiz scribe Baz Bamigboye’s “It’s Friday” column on, er, Fridays in the Daily Mail you won’t have seen a piece mentioning a £100 bet with the West End Whingers. And for those of you who did see it, the Whingers wish to set the record straight. Mister Bamigboye is privately quite a [...]

I had a bit of a tidy up in my loft recently and discovered a few old vinyl singles and albums that I had completely forgotten. Feeling nostalgic by these discoveries, and lacking a turntable, I ordered a few CDs off Amazon: Best of Blancmange Drowning in Berlin: Best of Mobiles The Circle and the Square by Red Box The Platinum Collection by Mari Wilson I soon received an email from Amazon telling...
