It’ll be another day or so before I can fully come to terms with the weekend carnage. In the meantime thanks to the many people who have said exceptionally nice things about the party. Also Extra Special thanks to Sheli and the cleanup squad for helping save my sanity. I had a blinding time.
All I’ve been capable of since Saturday is token clean-up efforts and watching films. On this latter point I must urge you to head over to UKNova as they’re accepting new accounts (for a limited time). Get Azureus (java req’d) as your BitTorrent client.
Otherwise-unavailable things I am downloading courtesy of this underwear-soilingly great service:
• Nathan Barley
• Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace
• The Mighty Boosh
• Green Wing
• Nighty Night
• much Jerry Sadowitz
This is what broadband was made for. Fuller debrief later anyway.

Note the first episode of Darkplace is encoded with some obscure software and won’t play in most players. See comments here for details:

Now I’ve watched the first episode I realise it’s a spoof of the old series The Kingdom.
It is also incredibly funny. The guy who is afro bloke in Nathan Barley is brilliant in it.
“Cool it Sanchez, or you’ll get a knuckle supper” – ep.1, 17:13. I absolutely love it.

Yes! Dean Learner/Lerner/I forget! It’s got Baimbridge from the Mighty Boosh in it as well, and lots of other cameos. The best thing is, it improves as the series goes on. I think it may be my favourite programme of recent memory. Perfectly parodies the James Herbert-type authors. The website’s really good as well.
