Russell Brand

The Temptation of Attempts

  • Mr Gee
  • 7 May 08, 11:24 AM

There's nothing quite like a sunny Bank Holiday to start off the week, that extra day off just makes everything a little more bearable. Of course most of us don't really get to do anything special, we just attempt stuff. Attempts at DIY, attempts to go to the gym (in a last bid attempt to look good for summer), attempts to get away and not get stuck in the rush and attempts to make it back in time (and not get stuck in the rush!).

Finally Matt has completed his attempt to make his way to L.A. the city of angels, leaving me alone as the last man standing.....in the city of Boris. It sounds like the guys are all having fun though: Capoeira, bread curry and goat costumes. Hmmm I wonder, when Cilla Black responded to Russell & Matt's attempts at temptation, did she really know what she was letting herself in for? Saying that, she'd probably put both their asses to sleep and shout out "suprise suprise!".


The Busman's Holiday

Searching for grails to set sail,
Electing new trails for campaigns,
Matt's in L.A. phone mislaid,
With curried-bread stains to explain,

Mayor's replaced,
Baby requests to lactate,
Ballot boxes kicked without socks quick,
A plimsol without insoles or Nick Stoller's prosthetic ass pics,

Strike a pose... with P.E. in brogues,
The posterior was awoken then man-goat fell and broke it,
It seems only Cilla could cope with the duo's Capoeira lunges,
Reinventing entertainment with the squeezing of sponges!

    Hellloooo You lovely lot!!!!!
    I feel like im posting a comment to the British Secret Service!!!!! Blimey this is all a bit much what would our free thinking Russell think of all this, im sure he would think it a bit ridiculous, but hey you may try to put boundraies in our way but we will still pour our little old hearts out to ya grumpy bunch!!!!!! So anyway erm lovely weather I feel i cant really rant and rave now all us free spirited thinkers have been confined to writing wishy washy nonsense in a tiny little space Argh this is weird!!! Ah Ruscky wussell Mr Bwand!! Are you still enjoying L.A I hope Mr Sandler is looking after you hes such a tonic is adam, me and me old mucka Bex av had a crush on Mr S for years, hes got such a twinkle in his eye not unlike yourself, you make such a lovely pair!! I hope your not leavin Matt out of all this, he`s a good sort is our Matt you must`nt be a fickle friend and forget the people who have looked after you, ha ha im only joking and naggin you as I think you like that sort of behaviour anyway!!!!!! I went out with a guy who looked liked Adam once, he was very affeminate!! One time heappeared at the window stark naked saying he was going to complain about the noise of the local kids playin on his street, he used to come out with terms like `im a very delicate flower`while eyeing up pictures of Johnny Depp!!!!! He became my manager and it all went very sour after that, the old saying dont mix pleasure wish business is a saying which should be taken into serious consideration when your ex boyfriend becomes your manager, very bad mix!!!!!
    Im off to Bournemouth next week to see my bezzy mate Bex, last year we had an epic adventure in the nightclubs of Bournemouth, this year we are hoping to out do last years sequence of events, no doubt it will all be played out on this very website like an autobiograpy of two determined ladies desperate for Mr Brand to notice us in some way!!!!!! We`re not really desperate would just be nice to get a bit of attention from the long haired lothario!!!! Anyway im going to catch the last of these glorious rays, my cat is entertaining my mum in the garden i can hear howls of laughter, that little swine!!!!
    Love you guys!!!!!! K x

    De dit de dit de dit de da da.

    I,d like to squeeze a lemon, crush some ice and have a lovely drink .

    I wrote a long blog in rough yesterday, complaining about the antics in the House of Commons. I wrote a poem to go with it. It was the same old thing.
    But I didnt bring it with me as, I thought, there was no point in going round in circles.

    I may post it soon.
    I got a copy of the Lisbon Treaty from me local MP.
    It were very kind of him to send it. But it will take a jolly long time to read it.

    I hope all our MPs are well and not too hot in the commons. Maybe it has air con.

    Someone played me a film from a political party. It was bieng alarmist about the Eoropean Government. nSaying that we were bieng forced to do things in Blighty, that was detrimental to us. I was really sceptical, so will make me own mind up.
    This whole credit crash is strange isnt it.

    You know, whatever happens, we need to stop listening to the mind numbing messages given by the tabloids and junky magazines.
    We have become so shallow as a society. Sometimes I think that the media, including broadsheets. Tell us a cencored kind of news. We shouldnt reflect on it as if it were reality.
    It blocks out the lives of the poor and more needy. Presenting only a certain view.
    The Richer want news and they just don,t want the poor anywhere near them.

    Its a shame when the poor spend so much on lottery tickets, in the hope of one day changing their circumstances. Then when the lottery awards grants and funding to different organisations, the organizations are invariably not those accessed by the poor.
    For instance, if the money goes to a Theatre, or Music and operatic organization. The rewards will only be seen by the rich.

    Its such a shame that the rich are so irrisponsible, when they are in a position to enrich the lives of the poor.

    Altruism has all but departed from our shores.

    Council estates are far detatched from the middle classes.

    For a developed country we are so full of double standards.

    The show went really well Sat night.
    I,m getting a bit concerned in a Mary Whitehouse sort of way, at the continual refferences to sticking fingers up bums, as if that was a normal thing to do. I know its only fun, but there are a lot of under twenties that idolize Mat and Russ. Its saying to them that it is a mainstream practice. Parhaps i am not giving fans enough credit to see whats a joke and whats not. In which case I apologise. I know you were drawn into it.
    The idea of using the show to sleep with as many fans as possible is a bit too much.
    I think I,v lost my sense of humopur since you,ve been in the States. I think that as a female fan I,mn jealous of Sharon Smith as well.
    I dunno, what has to evolve, has to evolve as the show takes on its many facets. We can,t put any limitations on the way you guys need to express yourselves.
    I should just really take it all with a pinch of salt and take a step back, not feeling so envolved.
    Still love you guys.
    xxxxxx
