An angry man speaks…
I posted a link from this guy a couple of months back but only now have I looked deeper into his world…he’s an angry man, but I love that about him. Is he right or what?

It’s not grim up north
Spent easter with friends up in the North East of England where I came across a curious village named Pity Me, ate the best curry in the world ever at a place called Sachins, topped up on art-wank at the Baltic and nearly (but not quite) made it to the The Sage.
Virb
Virb is “a one-stop cool people shopping network”. Uh, yeah, whatever (though I may get myself a virb page if I can be arsed).
Anyhow, New Young Pony Club sound pretty cool to me. Official website here.
Area 17
Arnaud Mercier (formerly of Elixir Studio and Blast Radius) shows up in New York and Paris as part of Area 17.
Also looking lovely on the agency side is Deepend Australia (cheers Jon!)
The Firm
Got taken to the Cardiff v. Sunderland footy match over the weekend (along with Mrs. Likeyoulike) and was struck by the sheer level of vitriol that opposing fans were directing at one another. It was like being stuck in the middle of a riot and I half expected to see bricks flying through the air with people looting television sets & carting them off in shopping trolleys.
At one point we were surrounded by what appeared to be a family outing comprising middle aged dads and various teenage sons. Mrs. Likeyoulike had been chatting to them in her plummy Oxford tones explaining that she wasn’t really supporting anybody in particular but since she was now a local she was most definitely in the visitors end as a favour. The middle aged dad nodded and smiled & then went back to screaming “Fuck you, fuck you, you fucking welsh wankers.” after which he turned to my wife and said “Not you though pet, you’re alright.” and then followed it up with another expletive laden tirade against 30,000 opposing fans.
Sunderland won 1-0 and Mrs. Likeyoulike said she loved it so much she’s going again in a couple of weeks.

Download goodness over at 9130 - I’m currently favouring the clock screensaver, but I do know somebody with a bit of a Lego fetish who would most definitely go for the other.
Life and stuff
It’s been a big couple of weeks with bereavement, reunions, excitement & triumphs at work and right now I’m taking some overdue time off during which I will be trying to win that difficult 4th Black Star Award over at YouWhores.
