Yes, yes people I have emerged from my self realised obscurity to bestow knowledge on all headz. Used ta be out and about now strictly lying low dispensing wisdom.
Too much going down to stay quiet, now all of us have to rise up and speak truth to power.
There has to be more to us than dhal roti and Nokia phones...

Kebabs & Beards
apna style. Not too bad and it ain't killed me yet.
As someone recently wrote kebab shops are the
crucibles of human instability so you might get the
odd dodgy type, but in Blair's Britain this place is
a melting pot of all faiths and creeds just trying
to get their fat fix. Shami, the owner is a good bloke too.
Yea I know I don't look 2 pretty but I stopped shaving
for a bit. I'm quite hairy so it don't take long for me to
get a growth. Why I'm sharing this with you all I don't
know... Currently reading some Murakami, a book
on Sufism and the Porridge scripts (classic)
DocD says:
Nah you're thinking of Secondhand City on the corner of Bridge street and Desborough rd. Still quite a dodgy place you'll be glad to hear
DocD says:
Still there I know a geordie guy who works there who keeps pigeons next door 2 me.
mat says:
oooh, which Murakami are you reading? I'm halfway through The Wind Up Bird Chronicles, and am enjoying it a great deal.
DocD says:
Just started Hard boiled wonderland...Have read everything else.
He writes effortessly and as a fellow writer i like his vibe and style.
mat says:
Wind Up Bird is my first, but I'm planning on reading the rest of them asap. Can't believe I missed out on Murakami all this time - it really is a joy to read, and after translation too: I bet it's even better in the original Japanese.. (which I can't read)
DocD says:
Funny thing is he's resisted all efforts (with one exception) to turn his work into screenplays, ironic as he writes so visually.
Dhamaka says:
Saw the adaptation of 'The Elephant Vanishes' at the Barbican last summer. They used 3 stories and made it wierd enough. More performance art than dance or conventional theatre, I thought they got his wierdness of the every day really well....
The elephant's eye was represented on a moving TV screen....
kel says:
I read Underground, which is his exploration of the Tokyo subway gas attack last year and had nightmares all night...
I love how he does this separation of worlds in Hard Boiled Wonderland and in A Wild Sheep Chase and for most of the book you're just gripped by this question of 'what the hell is going on here?'
