from yesterday's Independent...

Straw shook Mugabe's hand 'because it was dark'

Jack Straw said yesterday that he had shaken hands with President Robert Mugabe because it was "dark" and he did not realise he was greeting the Zimbabwean leader

I suggest next time Tony Blair appoints a foreign secretary, he first asks them if they have a fetish for black man's hands.

Awake again and just leaving for set, i remembered two more choice quotes from last night's session:

"Our Dad ruined Elvis for us as kids. He used to play it in the car, and he hasnt a musical note in his body but he insisted on singing every word a split second before Elvis, so it was like hearing my Dad sing all those songs first, with Elvis, for fuck's sake, ELVIS on backing vocals!"

and

"Listen mate, be careful. They don't like us. They may pretend to but they don't. That's another reason I'm leaving. You and me, right, we know the score. Stay in your area where people are educated and not ignorant. They really hate the English" (spoken in the loudest whisper you've ever heard and besides, I was sitting between two Irish guys at the time with another 200 or so in close proximity)

I'm doing extra work on a big hollywood mooooovie right here in 'New Jersey' aka The Shelbourne Greyhound Stadium, Dublin. Many hilarious tales of background manoeuverings could be told but first please let me get some sleep. The Girl with the one track minge is not exaggerating, not about her work anyway, which adds credibility to the whole package, no? For the crew it can be a 16 hour day, every day. How does a director sleep at night? I am going to examine this one further.

Yet I have to stay awake long enough to write this down...

The Scene: A big party in Noo Joizy, 200 guests plus the 3 protagonists. They have spent something like 26 hours filming this from various angles and we, the 200 extras, all have tightly choreographed movements and mimes to perform. When you see a film with a party scene, you've probably noticed the wildly overgesturing ugly people in the background who clearly don't know eachother from admen. Some take it for what it is - a bit of fun, boredom and very little money. Others take it very, very seriously and many have successfully and tragically managed to confuse themselves with big fucking famous movie stars. I've been entertained by a perpetual public display of poncing, swanning and clicquing that would rival any fashion show, with the added bonus that all these mini-divas are genuine nobodies. But a rarer and more amusing breed are those who literally don't give a fuck about what they're doing. They haven't heard of Continuity and may possibly not have ever seen a film. I spend all of tonight standing by a table mouthing silent, increasingly spiteful phrases to this real Rico Suave who is sitting down in front of me trying desperately to get his face into shot. I call him a prick at least 100 times to his face and it's still not enough. Over to my left are three Dubliners, all of a previous generation. They too spend all night there, in shot, right by some of the vital action. But for the last setup of the 'night', by which I mean it started shooting around 5am, one of the guys has come over to join me. He's late-50's, very distinctive looking and smartly-dressed by the excellent wardrobe staff. We are out of shot for this now, but where he should be standing is most definitely in shot. So I ask him this question:

"Where's your first position?"

"Oh it's right over here where i'm standing now", he replies

"You weren't standing over there before?"

"ah well I was for a while, yes... but you see now, I'd rather not be on camera to be honest"

I am intrigued. "Why not? That's what we're here for"

He replied "Sure but I'm not really supposed to be working, you know what I mean? I could get into a lot of trouble if anybody sees me"

I am desperate to laugh and he just continues away

"I hope this thing don't come out in Ireland. I hope it doesn't get released at all. I really can't be seen"

in the absence of any proper blogging, here's some contradictory marketing to enjoy from the California Garden company, Dubai. Are these 'Incredible Beans' or 'Foul Medammas'? Either way, they look like black-lipped foetuses and I shan't be eating them.

A Somewhat Poetical Contrivance upon the Subject of High Tea in Low Society

is it true that for you to start you would rather
a runaway stoat or a stowaway rat
served in a soup of flotsam and lather
with a gnat-riddled flea or a flea-bitten gnat
(blessed by Father Howe with a bit of 'ow's-your-father
in the bat of an eye and the eye of a bat)

for the main there's a choice of what kind of dish,
a plate 'neath your chin or a chinese platter
a salver of silver, a compliment of fish
dont fish for a compliment for it doesnt matter
fresh from the bath, come and see if you wish
the frolicking finned-ones already in batter

dessert will be served by an armed legionaire
who deserted the army when he lost his three legs
he'll blow up the ice-cream bombe if you care
or serve you fruit cobble as he hobbles on pegs
there's flambeed frigged frog on a porked pig done rare
and organic egg-nog made from finest dog's eggs

Minnie Driver, pentagon-faced daughter of a billionaire financier and as such a role-model for all struggling actresses, has revealed she lives in a trailer

I don't see how this is news.

For me Minnie, you'll always live in trailers because, like many film buffs, I'm never going to see you in a full-length feature.

A Rear Tail

my hated family, curse them so, has given me no run of luck
kids were not planned for, at the start, yet i was made from mum's first fuck
I popped out, in bits, swept up, placenta kept and me they chuck
to top it all her tits blew up and so there was no nip to suck

weaned on whiskey i was frisky, obsessed with 'les fesses' and frotting
i'd rub my self against old meat, i must confess, til rotting
whilst others in classes at my school concerned themselves with steamtrainspotting
their mothers' arses and my tool were all the doodles i was jotting

their dads i did devise a death or at the least a dick destruction
so sad must be their mothers' grief that i'd step in to heal the ruction
and mad with lust they would me trust to comfort them with love-eruption
thus glad to thrust into their rusted holes and maybe get some suction

all went well and i did swell with pride of all the arse i ride
til ladies laden, poohole pregnant, guilty I, their sons decide
to take my mum and willing bum but use holes where once breasts reside
so one last time for each of them, I committed anal babicide

It's taken a long time to come (like everything in my wife) but i've finally updated The Cockbook with a recipe for Glazed Coq, no jokes please - i've already done them, about halfway down the original text. It's so-so funny, delicious, nutritious and a sprinkled with lie dust.

Dear Sirs, how much just for a cup?

My proposal for a Government public service film:

The Scene:

A remote farmhouse on a dark and stormy night. A young man sits alone watching television in the front room.

The TV suddenly gains in volume:

"We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an important announcement"

(flashes up picture of wild-eyed man with a red goatee beard, mono-browed and slack-jawed, in prison uniform)

"A known murderer has escaped from prison and is said to be on the loose in your area. You are advised not to approach him since he is heavily armed and highly dangerous. Please alert the police if you have any information"

(ding-dong)

The doorbell rings. He gets up, spooked, to answer the door. He unbolts it but keeps the chain on

(opens door just a touch)

Through the crack he sees standing before him a wild-eyed man with a red goatee beard, mono-browed and slack-jawed, in prison uniform.

"Hello?! Don't I know you from somewhere?"

(SILENCE)

(unchains door, opens it wide)

"Oh I do know you! You're that bloke off the telly! Come on in! Can I have your autograph?...Girls! Come! Look who it is!"

the end, literally

YES! At last, something i've dreamed of for years...

WORLD WAR 3

Russia has announced it's going to go after terrorist bases worldwide which means that, finally, the two great superpowers of the Cold War are both fighting in a global war.

It's just a shame it's not against eachother.

Granted, the Russkies are no longer Evil Commies and it turns out they weren't even that Evil in the first place. It's true that this America, much like Reagan's one, is no longer the benevolent protector of all things good that I thought it was when i was a kid. But who didn't know that following a couple of sharp pop lessons from Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Sting in 1984/5? That's how I wised up, anyway.

I think of all the time, money, lives, liberties and landscapes wasted on creating and allaying fears of eachother since 1945 and I immediately stop masturbating. I know that many of the world's top generals feel the same.

Surely the desperate dance of dirty death performed by Uncle Sam and Mother Russia for 45 years before the lady got a bit tired towards the end when her unwilling partner in the nuclear tango chose to gobble up all the snacks for himself and his refusal to pay for a taxi home meaning there were to be no 'fireworks' was the very greatest anti-climax in the history of long, drawn out dancefloor-based anticipatio-battlewanks. No more than a mere dribble on her shoes.

So what we really need is a second pop of the cherry - I propose we forward information to Russia about a large training camp for a bunch of religious zealots hell-bent on worldwide domination, profoundly anti-government, anti-democratic, anti-free speach and which keeps women in their place at all times. Somewhere like here http://www.frugalsquirrels.com/ and here http://members.aol.com/wyldcardjw/

I'm going to Belgium for my holidays

...There can't be many people who are prepared to admit that. Even anonymously. Truly, this is the ultimate confessional blog.

in other news, actual life has annoyingly impinged on my blogging existence to the extent that i can't think of any way to return to the world of the pithy and obscene journalised entry.

i'd do a birdman-style bye bye but i don't need your sympathy. not unless it leads to sex.
