“An epistle from the Ivory Tower”

Something I’d like to do on EC:

I haven’t got the energy or intelligence for this, but would like a left slanted rant. If you write it I’ll voice it, but would prefer you to voice it yourself. Immo or glad could piss this. Glad, check your PMs. Oh god, James is gonna say I don’t PM him anymore now. Check your PMs, James.

Unfortunately, I tend to slouch slightly to the right when ranting.

It's a tactical necessity.

It stops the drool dribling across my cheek and clogging up my good (left) ear.

I'm willing to take a crack at it tho.

Should also be able to send ya some 'futility' stuff over this weekend.

Fired up the webcam tonight but was thwarted by gremlins.

Will have another stab at it tomorrow.

Got two pianner flourishes sorted and I'll prolly have a couple more by the time I sort the technology out.

[EMBARGO: FOR 'SECRET' FORUM ONLY]

Currently cracking one off over the Screwfix catalogue whilst wearing chest-waders and a high-viz jacket as requested.

Photos (and catalogue) to follow under plain wrapper.

S writes: Great stuff. You did write your own ending(s) for after the “Futility had the better of me once but................” bit didn’t you, the example video was just to give you the flavour?And there’s no need to ape the gimp suit attire either.

Did you record any voices? I’ll have to grab some more, but that means leaving the under stair cupboard and speaking to people, woe is me.

Are you recording a video for the “An Epistle From The Ivory Tower" piece too?

Re the secret forum material: If you have “Genius” written on your hi-viz jacket, I may have to nip to the shops for some super absorbent cloths.

Now send another starlet up to my room, preferably a ginger one.

I'll just throw these in here for you:



Was away a walk yesterday. And found this>>>>>



It's a fuckin' monstrosity, we paid for it, and I thought it was meant to be Jordan's fanny.



But no, it's by Jephson Robb:



It's meant to be a laurel leaf. I don't know much about art, but I don't know what I like.

Heh heh heh heh heh jordans fanny! That produced a snotbubble of epic proportions from my beanbox.

Fuck sake Glad the motherships landed. Get off that before you're toast!

Knew I'd seen it before Sev, must be the Grangemouth effect

Great stuff, Glad, thank you. I'd sooner taxes be spent on pieces like this than bombs.

It's too organic for my spikey, angular outlook, but it's bringing art and thought to the people.

Teste, i've learned a lot from you.

If you’re not taking the piss out of me, sev, I’m really pleased with that. You gents have taught me an awful amount.

bastard! i feel bad noo, im gonny have to pretend i wasn't taking the piss.

That's ok, sev, my shoulders are broad. As mo will find out when I catch up with the baldy cunt.

If anyone is writing an epistle, I’ve made a video bed with a nice left leaning feel for the audio to run on:




































































Oh alright, here’s the proper bed:
