An introduction to The Megaphone Saga...

So a few weeks ago that pesky friend of mine CVeitch got arrested and had my megaphone confiscated by the police. All charges were dropped instantly and yet my megaphone was not returned!

What to do?

Why, go down to the Begravia Police Station in Victoria and begin hostage negotiations n'est pas?



To see how it got, er 'nicked' by the Police too, watch this little gem:

Monday was a wonderful evening, I played at my friend's Ep launch in the luminaire in Kilburn. It was a brilliant line up including Stars of Sunday League (of course), Broadcast 2000, Jeremy Walmsley, Semaphore, and I said Yes.

Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas?

Fred Goodwin has volunteered to reduce his pension, lady's and gentlemen. I'd like to think I had something to do with that. Even if my anti-Goodwin song accounted for only 1 percent of the pressure on dear old Fred to pay back his exorbitant £16m pension, that means I saved the British tax payer £160,000. I should ask for a commission. UH OH: OCTOPUS MAKES CONCESSION TO CAPITALISM SHOCKER! Ye, whatever... You see, (waves hand in peace sign), I like, totally, like to bring the big corporations to account, man, but the truth is I have more things in common with them than I care to admit.

One of those things is that I start thinking about Christmas early. This year I will be releasing a Christmas single, proceeds of which will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians. An Octopus christmas number one? Fred, I'm banking on it.

Ever felt as if your heading in totally the wrong direction?

Well, have a chuckle at the following charming little anecdote and whatever you do do not read Paulo Cohelo and categorically do not watch The Secret...

In 2008, Syrian lorry driver Necdet Bakimci found himself stranded on a nature reserve in Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire. He was 1,600 miles from his intended destination: Gibraltar, on the southern tip of Spain. Confusingly, his sat-nav system listed Gibraltar as being in the UK (because it's a colonial outpost). Confronted with a choice of two Gibraltars, both seemingly in the British Isles, Bakimci and his cargo of luxury cars took a 3,200 mile detour.
