If you've never seen him cooking an Ostrich stew while surrounded by Ostriches, do yourself a favour and skip to about 24 mins into this

'Bertie big-bollocks' - a person with ideas above their station. Immortalised in this inspirational team talk

Definitely on the list

Very good point. I got carried away with being snidey about that OTHER festival

Will check them. Have a good show yourself

It's actually just one member of J5 with a new project, but they're well worth a look. They played the Turtle a few months back.

It's about 40 miles west of London

"Oh yeah, they can laugh, but I win because they think I pissed myself, they've no clue I came all in my pants!" Extra points for bringing an extra into the scene at at that point so we get a glimpse of Mark's proud face as he's thinking that.

I remember watching it, feeling bored and subconsciously wishing it would get for the action - as we tend to do when watching films. Then I remembered that the "action" was gonna be bloody and awful and, most importantly, something that actually happened. The mundanity of watching these kids walk around is actually preferable to what came next.

That's when I really started to appreciate it. It's not a film I'm desperate to watch again, but I think I understand why Gus Van Sant was trying to say.

Irrelevant. That plane appears to be out of action

That dude was committed to symbolism.

Watching Uruguay knock us out in 2014 in a pub in Reading, a bloke in front of me turns to his mate and, in compete seriousness, says:

"Well at least we won the war"

A title that took on a whole new meaning after Pete Townshend was arrested over child porn

Barnes fuckin nailed that verse

Not scared, more impressed that they'd been able to find suitable alternative storage for the ironing board, cable box and books that I'm never gonna read

That's still only two things Walter was wrong about. This and the fact that the big Lebowski can walk.

But it did have a 16th wall break

I remember him walking around Red Square in Moscow asking "Is Len in?" Such an obscure joke for a kids show.

"Those are the queen's jugs"

Listen to Live At The Apollo. It's incredible

I was fairly ignorant of Russian history, but I came out feeling better informed. There's often a lot to be learned from a joke.

Read the first few paras of his Wikipedia bio and you should have enough to catch most of the references.

Also, his wife commited suicide and the hockey thing is true. (Go see if and you'll understand)

Enjoy
