Artists & Saboteurs

It seems after Ross Kemp’s successful forays into Afghanistan and the gangland underworld, and the man himself doing “Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men”, the internet is awash with excitement (and perhaps some pwopa nawty outrage too) about a new similar programme in the pipeline.

In “A Geezer In Gaza”, everyone’s favourite hard-as-nails cockney visits the Gaza Strip to get a firsthand view of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, and presumably has a few adventures. Hey, he’s hardly just going to stand around asking questions, is he? A sniper bullet or RPG or two must make a facking sudden appearance surely.

See the group on Facebook here with some interesting (maybe a bit low-quality) preliminary shots.

Whether it turns out to be real or not, you have to admit it’s quite a unique idea…

Walking through Bloomsbury after a spin at the British Museum… Wonder if you can just take the books you need? Or maybe I’ve misunderstood.

As part of our commitment to new poetry and writing, Artists & Saboteurs has subsidised the publication of The Grange School, Hartford’s Poetry Anthology, ‘a life well wasted.’

I want the Holy Spirit running the Treasury…

Looks like it has pretty good functionality and is easy to carry around. Hope it catches on. Well done, Apple.

Halloween Sun – By Aimi Hope

Just over two decades since your soul burnt alive,
October baby, orange leaves never change.
Turn into winter, wither and wail,
And evolve through to summer.

A man to be admired by trusted pilgrims,
Liquid talent pouring through quick fingers
Onto loose strings. Pure, hollow wood,
Born to perform, cloud your body with ink.

Rich shadows cry out quietly from the stage side,
Adrenaline injection courses through you,
They are your minions, your components, your brothers, your friends.
Pump, faster, louder. And it’s in your blood.

Luke and I were supposed to meet for lunch in Knightsbridge, but as luck would have it we both cancelled with slightly implausible excuses.

Turns out we both wanted to go shopping in secret…  both on the lookout for the sheer quality of Prada!

My new shoes are made of exquisite Italian leather guaranteed to last 20 years, and Luke’s glasses are stylish and cultured like the man himself. See the little pic below!

We then went for a cocktail to laugh about the coincidence.

A friend sent me this brilliant old link from 11points.com with eleven fantastically, hilariously, tremendously stupid questions asked on Yahoo Answers.

Numbers 2 and 5 are just achingly bad, you have to read them. Enjoy!

I was standing on the pavement in High St. Kensington today waiting for a friend, when a car went past driven slowly by a man with a dark scraggly beard. He looked at me, laughing, and held both hands above the steering wheel doing what can only be described very un-PC terms as ‘spaz hands’ while sticking his tongue out and shaking his head from side to side like Gene Simmons from Kiss.

I love London. LOL
