"Tragedy is when I cut my finger...

... Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die"

Mel Brooks said that. I'm looking forward to the open sewer end of the spectrum when I see this...



Which should nicely counter balance the cut finger element of this...



I'm considering a curb your enthusiasm addiction too. I've heard it's all too easy

Downstairs Dom

Flipping the Marley trademarked Basement Jacks monicker seeing as he is now inhabiting the basement area. Friday night saw the opening of his exhibition...



It drew quite a crowd...



Matthieu and H-H-H-Harmon were in the house...



Dan Henshaw, Oli and Olly were holding down the counter area. Wouldn't want want to bump into them down a dark alley...



Hogs was in the mixer...



Cates, Fos, Deejay and Don Brown came down for the evening...



Jamie Aaarrrggghh came along...



The free booze disappeared...



and a good time was had by all. Many more people came and represented for the Big man than pictured but these are what I found in the Alley cam. Saving the best for last here's Karim, Marley G, Howard Cooke and surprise guest Blue...



Thanks to Badger, Gorm, Nike SB and of course Dom for making Friday evening possible. When Jackson isn't blowing his mind with the new Sebastian Denz 3D article...



He's beavering away organising one of your next night's entertainment. Diaries at the ready. Artwork courtesy of Rob Mathieson...

Tonight's the night

European vacation's past through the eye's of Dom
Marley will adorn the walls downstairs come the end of the day. He's been on a fair few trips with the Nike SB team and saved up some images for you. Get yourselves down here later on for some beers...



There may be a spot of this too...



Dom would say of himself that he's thirdly a photographer, second a lover and primarily a comedian. See you down here from 7

Sheldon Cooper

Is one of my favourite character's of all time. He's the cynical theoretical Physicist in this...



Luigi, once sceptical about the programme's merits has recently been converted. This week's episode is a real door kicker. The funniest film I've seen in ages is this...



See you tomorrow for the Dom Marley experience

Wednesday...

...is the theme of today's post...



Wherever you are out there getting lit at 4.20 you're going to need to be tuning in for your weekly dose of
Wayward Wednesday's another Wednesday themed Web space is worthy of your attention. The little Wednesday crew have a re-vamped site. Expect un-seen Henry Kingsford photography, Re-visited Uncle Someone articles, footage and gems like this...



There's a fair bit of content on there already and it promises to be regularly updated so
bookmark's at the ready . Finally it's the last Wednesday of the Month...



Jagger and Will Bankhead are your hosts for the evening

I am a fisherman's son

I have a good night planned for later. These guys...



are called Deertick and are worth checking out. They are supporting these guys...



who are called Port O'Brien. I've waxed lyrical about them in the past, I liked this photo because it looks like it's been taken outside. I picked up their new album today. It's their third release to date. The first listen is on the wireless right now...



Give them a go

The money will roll right in

Like a fine vintage wine...

...matures with age. One Weekend a long time ago Louis Slater repeated that again and again. It was his catchphrase for a few days. It applies to this clip which just gets funnier...



Enjoy your Sunday

Surprise guest

We had a Rayman visit this morning. These are a weekly staple, it's odd when we don't receive a Saturday morning visit. He shared with us this picture of a Hippo swallowing a Crocodile...



We weren't expecting our next guest who we haven't seen for a long time. Steady member of the Fairfield's old guard...



Better backside nollie heel-flips than thou. He's got a spot named after him and everything. Yes Billy Lancaster!

LOL

Rushbrooke sent us a nice picture of Jay Croft taking a Slam garment for a Rock and Roll slide...



Rob invented the sandwich from Frank's, he's also responsible for the Pret/Happy meal combo we treated ourselves to today...



This left us both fully equipped with light sabres. None of this is funny or connected to the title of today's post. Two things which have made me laugh out loud of late were this...



Which I came across whilst browsing Max Schaff's
blog and this which I came across on my over extended comedy of errors of a journey this morning in today's Sun...



It cracked me up, funny looks on the train from this. I tested it on Dan, Rob and Mark and it raised a laugh each time, meaning it's not just me being mental as it often is. Test done I figured I'd share it with you. These are on sale first thing tomorrow...



That's a certainty. Gucci dunks go on sale in-store tomorrow from 11am. Arrive early to avoid dissapointment

"It could be a bomb though couldn't it?"

Perhaps in a James Bond movie the jacket the Policeman had picked up could be a bomb, a gelagnite windbreaker. We were dispersed from wherever we were more than once the other evening. I suppose there were quite a lot of us...



One of the most fun things was making our way up Oxford street through the traffic and weaving in and out of shoppers and shop doorways. Sam Ashley told me last night a story of them skating down a hill through a shopping district in Sheffield years ago. Edson disappeared into what he thought was a doorway but it was in fact a mirror-ooof! We found entertainment everywhere....



A KFC employee caught a prime view of some of Rory's antics when he came to investigate...



Finally here's Nick on a bomb drop mission shortly before we woke up Joe the boxer (error)...



It was a liberating evening in the City. All photos courtesy of Tom Richardson

Marley G The Villain

*Diary Alert*

Not this Friday but the next one which is Friday the 28th needs to be permanently markered in that filofax. The next installation to hit our Nike SB store downstairs will be the work of our very own Dom Marley and opens on that date. Here's a flyer preview...



Yes Smithy!! The opening night is that Friday so come for a butcher's hook and some free booze. Dom's stand up routine begins at 8 sharp. Be there

Ed-Stock

Missed out on the fiesta of the year by the sounds of it but was very happy to turn the camera on to see Rob's Birthday gift to the man
himself . Belated birthday wishes and exposure of his latest action figure and Missy's in the
Mathieson production line...



Mattel need to put their hands in their pockets

Asbo Orange

I've spent a fair bit of time indoors lately as I've told you. Here's a poem I wrote yesterday...

My eyes have taken it
Fed this spectacle to my soul

The curtain's twitch
Exposed the scene

Three boys kicking another
already down
resigned to his fate

I need to get a catapult
and a bag of wheel nuts
to pick them off one by one

There's something to do tomorrow

Hope you liked it, it's real out here. In lieu of street violence references I may catch this one later on...

Marathon man

I fell ill Wednesday night and have been quarantined ever since. My predictions are I'll be back in the land of the living in a couple of days. This has been my scenario pretty much from dawn till dusk...



I just previewed this before publishing and realised Rob could have a field day with that image, it was meant to convey I've been glued to the screen. Alphabetically I've taken down...Australia, Dead Man's Shoes, District 9, In Bruges, Land of the Lost, Quantum of Solace, RocknRolla, The beat my heart skipped, There Will Be Blood. There's some base level comedy on the horizon as you can probably guess but a Charlie Young recommendation made it's way through the door this morning so first i'll find some time for...



Should be good if the tag line is anything to go by.

"The only way to treat the common cold is with contempt"

I've been in bed hopped up on Lemsip for more than twenty four hours. Once or twice a year my hazardous germ ridden commute places a badly covered sneeze or cough too close and this is the result. Funnily enough, not really in a laugh out loud way, I was offered the flu jab a month or so ago. Immediately I said yes and why ever not? The nurse went to the fridge and pulled out the syringe. She seemed slightly surprised by my eagerness, I asked if it works and within three questions had derived that it makes you sick to start with and that only 15% of the staff at the doctor's had opted for the jab, herself not included. Needless to say I declined. This is what I need...



That and some soup

Is it particularly long?

I'm convinced I have Swine Flu. Walking through an East London back street yesterday with Charlie we bumped into your new favourite singer/songwriter...



Bye

Ante Up

You've probably seen it but this Mash Out Posse classic with a "Hey Bert!" factor cheered up my last evening...



Kidnap that fool!

Advanced notice

This Thursday to celebrate the first drop of Krew clothing in the store there will be some after hours drinks and you are all cordially invited to share them with us...

Loose as a goose

Minimal content for you today but some nevertheless. There's a big pigeon outside the Crown and Anchor...



"Do you want the box with your Happy meal?" Rob didn't but he definitely needed the toy from the Fantastic Mr Fox promotion. Mr Fox's wife is quite the artist, she captured a mean likeness of Jackson...



Two more toys should be making their way through the door any moment. We're hoping to take a skate once work's finished. Quite literally an...

The car that Badger built

The car is the tip of the iceberg. Badger made himself a whole new world. For some reason instead of buying the converted warehouse space next to a bar that is still a cobblers with a nightly replenished pile of hipster sick to walk out to every morning he opted for this...



Views from the Badger residence. No wheat pasting or stencils to be seen anywhere. He has barns...





a house...



and a Summer house...





Badger has the right idea, it looks idyllic. It's a good half an hours drive to the nearest bar/cobblers. Luckily he has this...



and he built it himself. I'm snowed in by a few projects myself
