The Return of The Jase


Well it's been quite some time since I was able to write my last entry. I have now been reunited with my lovely imac so I can now tell anyone who might be interested (Mum?) about life since the eviction (Jubilee Wharf - not Big Brother).

After a night winning the pub quiz at the Approach Tavern and then getting stupidly drunk and spending all my winnings and much more at dubious clubs in Bethnal Green with the king of all bad influence Dan March I picked up my suitcase, guitar and banjo from Jubilee Wharf, and buggered off to Holland. Fantastic. Had a marvellous time playing guitar in the spectacular 'Hold Tight it's 80s Night!'. Dose Crazzee Dutch - dey very very love it! Wonderful band, cast and crew, lovely house, big, modern theatres and the opportunity to Rock. Best of all I made some great chums who I'm still working with now in various shows.

I've just heard on the news that there's £125 million pound jackpot on the lottery. I never buy lottery tickets but what the hell, I'm off the the newsagents. I'd suit a Ferrari.

Pastures New


Once again it's been quite some time since I updated my blog. Very shoddy I know. So what's been happening in the meantime....

Finished the films for Lancaster Castle prison. My first foray into doing everything myself since 'The Bus' proved a hit. By the way, The Bus is now being recognised as a classic of the short/horror/transport genre and being screened as part of the Supershorts film festival in Soho - click here for link - and at the Mocha Film Club Bombay.

Evicted from Jubilee Wharf for having too much fun. Glad to go as although it's a lovely flat but everyone is so stuffy. They actually thought that I was running a business because when friends came to visit the neighbours thought they were 'workers'. Just goes to show how impersonal London has become. People exist in their boxes and the notion of popping around to visit someone for a cuppa and a chat seems completely alien. If you want to meet up with a friend in London you can spend an entire evening trying to work out when you're both free - should have just gone straight out that night. Oh for the halcyon days of uni when there would be a knock on your door followed by the words "last orders" and you'd be off.

And they said I couldn't keep Mrs Tillywinkle. How mean is that!

Hopefully in the next few months I'll be off to Holland to play guitar then off to South Africa to film elephants.



Oh yeh, did Glastonbury again. Here I am hosting Blind-da Date.

Handbags and Demons


Charlie had a bunch of friends over from the States this week. They were a lovely bunch of people who hadn't quite got the hang of keeping hold of their belongings. I think the total of losses on their departure was 2 x cameras, 2 x handbags and 1 passport! Still cameras and bags come and go but if you make new friends then you can keep them for good.

Lela and Hazel came over yesterday. We made a sequel to Haunted Hazel - Haunted Hazel II : Demon Nights.

Rocket Man


Follow this link for a Shat classic. Yes, it's the legendary William Shatner performing Rocket Man at the 1978 Sci-fi convention. Towards the end you actually get three Shats for the price of one. Value.

I'm beginning to feel like Norm from cheers. Yes the Prospect of Whitby is just down the road, but I must resist the temptation to go there so often. If only I had a laaaadieeeee to occupy my time. sigh...

To be sure, to be sure, to be sure....


Eamon Holmes came in the studio this morning to record a voiceover. He was a very chummy fellow. He got a bit confused when he arrived though, he walked into a cupboard thinking it was the recording booth. Or maybe, because he's Oirish, he was just doing it for the crack.

Shoddy!


I've have been shoddy in the extreme for a number of months keeping my blog up to date. So much has happened since my last entry I don't know where to begin. So I won't. Instead here's a picture of some monkeys.

Every Time I Try And Get Out It Pulls Me Back In


Nearly two years ago I said that the Amsterdam marathon would be the last one I ever ran. Now I've gone and entered this year's race. What an idiot. I blame Tash, it was all her idea to do it again. Oh well, it's done now, better get into training. Time to load up Eye of the Tiger into the ipod. Da! da da Da! da da Da! dada derrrrrr.

Sayonara DJ Jase


Had a fantastic weekend in Bristol for Maddie's leaving do and back in London for the luvly Jo Jo's birthday, which was a riotously drunken affair full of song, dance and rock and roll. It was also my last night in London on the Wheels of Steel. Apart from the odd friend's wedding here and there I've given the heave ho to DJing. Let's face it, playing records is hardly rocket science. If I don't give up now I may just fall into the trap of actually BECOMING a DJ and I would hate that to happen. I've always thought that DJs were a bit sad. There's so much more I want to do and so much that I have been doing recently that something had to go.

Onwards and upwards........
