I’m pretty sure they don’t make good comedy sketch shows anymore do they?
Fist of Fun was written by lee and Herring, and in my opinion was one of the best and forgotten about shows ever to grace our screens.
Enjoy!
P.s- Don’t forget to check out there famous character Simon Quinlank
Animatus is an exhibition of reconstructions of 3D skeletons of classic cartoon characters, including Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry oder Donald Duck. A bit odd, but I like it.

South Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee is exhibiting his Animatus show in the Natural History Museum Basel until the 31st August 2008.
This is a little bit older, but a brilliant bit of reasoning by the kiwi’s - disposing of a stranded eight ton dead stinking whale which can not be burried or cut up: easy, blow it up and “let the scavengers, seagulls, crabs and what-not can clean it up”.

Tomorrow (5th July) the hardest bike race in the world will start once again. The BBC gives us the former tour winner Stephen Roche, Britain’s Sean Yates and British cycling supremo Dave Brailsford, and their views ahead of this years tour.
In another interview, Mark Cavendish looks ahead positively: “it is more than feasible [one, two, or three stage wins], I’m the fastest there at the end of a bike race…”
Fighting talk from Britain’s best, bring on the Tour! or in the words of Udo Bölts, who rode 12 consecutive Tours de France: “Quäl dich, du Sau” [words of encouragement to a cracking Jan Ulrich, literally: "torture yourself, you pig", nice]
The Spring 2009 Menswear has disappointed so far (In my opinion) but one label that rarely lets you down is Comme des Garçons.

Recently i was bought a Diana Lomo camera for my trip to New York. Like many people i had become increasingly dissatisfied with my digital camera and the soulless throwaway images they can produce… and after having my first film developed i got mixed results from my efforts. Some bad, some good…. but thats the fun you have with film right?!
On a recent visit to New York, I had to check out Atelier again. In my opinion one of the best stores I’ve ever come across! Stocking some unbelievably hard labels to find such as Carpe Diem, Werkstatt Munchen, Rick Owens, Carol Christian Poell and DRK SHDW, these are clothes made by true artisans, and with there colour palette being mainly black or various shades of grey, I found myself wanting most things within the store!
This may not excite some, but with the current fashion trends being dominated by a flood of nu rave crap, this place is a dream come true!!
