Graves of the archangels.

This is a photo of Rachel's sister entering a fancy dress contest when she was a kid. Mermaid and Transformer - the forbidden love.

Rachel poured custard on her roast dinner at a carvery thinking it was cheese sauce. It made her cry with laughter and embarrassment. One of her finest moments.

French and I have made a short film for Scion, a subsidiary of Toyota. It basically looks like this. We had to break in to Greenbank Cemetery at night to film it.

Beer garden genius.

Bootlegged from Leo Sharpe's 15 year retrospective show at the 5050 gallery. Another forbidden love affair. Landscape and Blueprint - the love that dare not speak it's name.

Zippy and some lurker at one of the Night Of The Living Dead all-nighters in Liverpool many years ago.

Ah, push it!

Like one of the comments on the Youtube page says - best in-joke on the internet!

I got accused of making it (wish I had!) as did French, Magee, etc. I have no idea who did but I'd like to shake his hand!

The Big Push has always been fundamentally flawed by having any kind of voting system - nobody wanted to be seen to rip off KOTR wholesale so the voting thing got used instead without considering the ease of manipulation by the companies with the most willing mulit-voters or, indeed, just the most friends.

The way KOTR works is that even if Wight Trash skateboards (look it up) went up against Zero, Girl and Alien it has just as much chance of winning (Chris Cole aside) if it completes all the challenges and scores more points. The popularity of the company doesn't matter in Thrasher's game.

I said all this last year and people thought I was just whining 'cos Landscape didn't win. Oh well. It's not keeping me up nights.

The bit on the vid about "the memory of Document" shouldn't bother anyone at Sidewalk as at least they've tried to bring points scoring in this year. Well, I think they have anyway - I haven't even watched the vid yet.

Anyway - C'mon the underdogs, British skating is rad, support your S.O.S. etc, etc.

Rachel, Joel and I went to a Dawkins lecture in Bath. It was sick, good pro-evolution stuff as you'd expect. Got the new book, signed too. We kind of gave each other an awkward smile as he signed it and eyed my Blasphemy shirt.
