Russell Brand! Is he talking sense now?

Knobhead on the rise.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24648651

Watch this interview between Russell Brand

Brand, as you all know, is Bob's Nemesis, as he sucks the humour out of any situation.

But since he has stopped taking ridiculous amounts of various substances, he seems to be able to string a sentence together and his knobheadery seems to be largely absent.

Watch the way he handles Paxman, whose normal way is to shout people down, but Brand gives him nothing to shout him down about, so he is left there floundering for a negative headline and failing miserably.

Check out Brand's evidence to the Parliamentary Commision on drugs.....he actually argues a very sound case.

I never thought I would ever say itand Bob will probably make me take this post down, but WELL DONE RUSSELL.

Keep up the good work and stay off the knobhead making substances and who knows, in a few years you might be in a position to effect how things are run around here.

There's a Pussy Riot goin' on!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01hs5t8/Storyville_20132014_Pussy_Riot_A_Punk_Prayer/

If you have access to the BBC Iplayer then please take the time to watch this documentary about Pussy Riot, the Russian punk band.

I only wish we had toung people doing stuff like that in Britain....instead of seeing who can drink themselves to death first.

These three young women are truly reluctant heroes....Their silly protest managed to reveal the Russian justice system for what it is....a sham.

Pussy Riot are my new heroes and those are the kind of people our Government should be speaking out for.....but it would mean we might have to pay more for oil so we can't do that.

I don't know whether it is because I'm getting older or is the world really turning into a shit place.

I remember when I believed my Government had my best interests at it's heart.

Now I'm not so sure.

You Want Me To Do What With That?!

 The Life Expectancy of a Relationship With a Porn Addict,

is an in-depth look at the problems of  dealing with ”porn addiction” from the point of view of the partner ….. the porn widow. They often end up in therapy for ;PTSD, in the divorce court (over 53% of divorces now cite porn use in their case) and in extreme cases committing suicide.

Lindsay has had much help and encouragement from many of the top researchers in the field, many of whom can be found on her Chatting with Lindsay. pod casts.

The book has taken  nine months to write and led Lindsay to many of  the counsellors, psychologists and alternative therapists, who assist her in her quest to help partners of porn addicts on the road to sexual and spiritual recovery.

Lindsay has written a humorous and informative manual for staying sane, that is easy to read and will help the reader to deal with the pain of her porn addicted partner’s actions.

The approach is that of a best friend offering support, advice, empowerment and a kick up the ass when required.

Lindsay’s Liverpudlian character shines through in her straight from the hip style.

The reader gets all the facts, from the scientific data (explained in a language you won’t find in any text book), statistics on everything from he rate of employees accessing porn in the work place,to the  alarming increase in the risk of  infidelity and divorce.

There are case studies, interviews and quotes from scientists, psychologists, porn users, partners and even porn performers.

The end of the book is the beginning of the readers new life as she learns how to heal and discovers more about Lindsay’s own            alarming and at times, heartbreaking  journey.

This book will be educating partners of porn addicts for many years to come. I know you will agree.

Ian Jameson Editor

It has been a long journey from when I first began to write You Want Me To Do WHAT With That ?! almost a year ago, to where I am now.  In that year, since leaving my porn addicted partner I have built my website, read numerous books, watched god knows how many documentaries researched countless psychological studies and communicated with people across the world from porn performers to those in positions of power in the governments on both sides of the pond.  While I was going through my own healing, I learned how badly others had been hurt. In researching the abuse that many partners of porn addicts go through, I also discovered the abuse that so many porn performers go through.  The reason this book is so effective, is precisely because it was written as I was going through the process of my own healing.  Everything the partner will feel, everything she will want to know, to understand, every miserable painful part of this journey there will be someone by her side taking the journey with her and understanding all those little things that she cannot seem to make anyone else understand or is too embarrassed to talk about.  The book will give you a laugh, will make you angry, will make you see your partner’s addiction for what it is and will help you see for yourself through what I did and what many other women have done, exactly what  you are dealing with and the reality of the options you have open to you.  I researched, interviewed and tried to find answers to all those things that didn’t even begin to make sense to me; like, why would any red blooded male who appeared to have a passion for sex be turned off by it?  Why would someone, who deemed himself to be open minded and liberal and not stifled by the confines of the prudish way society looks on sex – flinch at a sexual touch?  Why would a man who declared that I was the greatest of his loves and the epitome of his ideal type - give his sexual attention to anyone and anything but me?  I had never felt so alone, so betrayed, so confused, frustrated, insulted, unloved, rejected or sexually frustrated as I had in my relationship with him.  This process of writing this book coincided with the journey I took and many of you will take - From the darkest time of leaving a man I loved to live alone in an empty house without a penny to my name or a stick of furniture to sit on, to being so happy that I begin every day with a huge smile on my face.  He? He is in exactly the same place he was before – except a few steps closer to bankruptcy and losing his house. He’s still an addict. Like the porn equivalent of Miss Haversham, will probably be found dead, dodger in one hand, mouse in the other covered in cobwebs and surrounded by broken dreams.  Porn is everywhere, which doesn’t help the addict or the partner, who is surrounded by triggers (you will learn more about triggers in the book). Say anything that is not pro porn though and you are met with a knee jerk reaction of ‘just because you’re a prude doesn’t mean you should take away my enjoyment’ or ‘well you don’t have to watch, just switch channels’  Porn has become so prevalent; it’s not as easy as that. Instead of actively seeking out porn if you want to see it, you have to actively avoid it if you don’t;  Which is specifically why the book, the site and the Campaign are neither pro nor anti porn.  They are about the harms porn does.  ‘that makes you anti porn then!’  No, it doesn’t.  Ok, let’s say you took your kid to his new school and on the alphabet pictures placed around the wall you saw R is for Rimming and a graphic display to aid learning. You might think it a little inappropriate.  Or if they were selling homemade hooch in the school tuck shop, next to the liquorice allsorts and cola, you would wonder at the sanity of the head teacher  The problem is not with what consenting adults do behind closed doors, or with alcohol, it is with the impropriety of WHERE they are being shown or sold and that they are being placed in front of an audience they were not intended for.  Having  a problem with someone giving free gin and tonics to two year olds,  does not mean you want all drink to be banned.  Likewise, having a problem with kids being shown a ‘ho’ being torn a ‘new one’  does not necessarily mean you want to ban all porn.  In this instance anti porn or pro porn is beside the point Those who are into porn should be just as concerned with who sees it and the side effects it can have on the psyche as anyone else. Why would that be a problem?  The research that has been done on the effects of smoking means that people are able to make a more educated decision as to whether or not they are going to smoke. It’s also meant that non smokers don’t have to be exposed to someone else’s nicotine habit.  Likewise porn; if the user knows the detrimental effects it can have, it’s then up to them to make a more educated decision as to what they watch, and how much they watch.  It should also mean that those who don’t want to be exposed to someone else’s porn habit, shouldn’t have to be.  Primarily, the book and the site are to do with helping the partner of the porn addict, whether porn is here to stay or not, the damage being done by it, needs to be acknowledged and dealt with.  I’m here to help you  get your mojo back, which his porn habit has trampled all over.  I’m here to help you see that ‘yes, he is behaving like a total a’hole, it’s not your imagination and it is most definitatley NOT YOUR FAULT.  The book is humorous, it’s hard hitting, it’s realistic, and it’s about as romantic as your average porno, ie, not at all. One of you running away from reality to live in a land called fantasy is bad enough.  In the second part of the intro,  I will tell you more about the Campaign for REAL MEN not PORN EUNUCHS.  Both, apparently acceptable; the performer is just a ho, she gets paid for what she does therefore, her human rights no longer exist, likewise the spouse of the addict, if she objects to being treated like the ‘ho’ on the screen, she’s a prude, she’s frigid, she’s jealous, so her complaints that what he wants her to do are painful or degrading are dismissed = her rights as a fully paid up partner in this relationship, are  irrelevant and cease to exist.  I had no problem with porn when I began my relationship with my partner, but I did have a problem with the lack of sex. Eventually, the amount of porn he watched and the type of porn he watched worked like aversion therapy on me.  There was no reasoning with him though, as there is no reasoning with anyone who is heavily into porn. They become defensive and angry. Like Gollum they defend their precioussss porn to the death.

The trouble with porn on the internet is..........what?

I have just spent the last year watching a a friend of mine grow from a shrivelled defeated urchin to a Bodecian warrior woman, sword and shield at the ready.....(I always hide the blue paint when she comes round.)
Lindsay McKinnon came out of a ruinous three year relationship with a porn addict not as a victim or a survivor but as a Celtic goddess ready to rid the planet of porn addiction and if necessary it's causes.
Her new Ebook ''You want me to do WHAT with that?! The Life Expectancy of a Relationship with a Porn Addict'', which is published this month is not only filled with facts and figures and places to get help with porn addiction issues, Lindsay also adds her personal perspective and usually wrapped it in her dry Liverpool wit.
This book is a great read and designed with the PTSD sufferer in mind......many partners of porn addicts are treated for the symptoms of this disorder......it's easy on the eye and lots of funny images to break up the text, more magazine than book at times.
She manages to give the book a narrative, she wrote it as she herself repaired....and the growth can be heard in the voice of the writer as the book progresses.
When you see figures like 50% of men have a problem with porn in one form or another you begin to realise this is a massive problem not just in the UK but even in the third world.



I watched a BBC documentary where a bunch of African guys are sat around in a mud hut watching American porn and talking about how they go out into the village after and find women to re-enact what they have been watching. Rape in other words.
The days when guys would treasure a penthouse magazine for that pic that really turned him on are gone.
Now we require a million pixels per millesecond to get a similar rush. Familiarity really does breed contempt. The porn addict rages at the screen but has nothing to give a real flesh and blood woman.
The partner of the porn addict rages at at the wall in a society that sees her partner's addiction as ''a bit of fun''.



That ''Bit of fun'' ruins thousands of lives every year and it's getting worse.........The Government have realised there's a problem..thus the new measures to stop porn at source. This would remove quite a lot of vulnerable people out of the direct firing line.
The first thing I heard when this was announced was the civil liberties cry....well sorry I don't think allowing kids access to snuff sex movies is something that comes into the civil liberties arena.
If someone wants access to porn then really it's not such a big thing to expect them to have to ask for it. In hotels you have to ask for access to the porn channels so why not on the porn internet channels. We need to separate this market off from mainstream traffic. It can still be there for people who see it as a freedom thing..but don't come complaining if your kids see a baby being eaten alive.



We need to decide as a society, if images of what ,only a few short years ago , would have been call perverted, are really appropriate for young boys and girls to learn their sexual vocabulary from.



I am not trying to suppress anything or anyone I just think if you wouldn't want your kids to see something, then really the choice should be to turn the porn on ...rather than as it is now where you have to turn it off. It's one question on the sign in stage and it's done. Just cos you want access dent mean there's something wrong with you... it just means that you are taking responsibility for policing the internet use in your household.



It's time we started talking about the elephant in the room and Lindsay's book is a very good conversation starter.

Who's joke is it anyway?

Last month I wrote a witty one-liner; it referenced a high profile news story at the time and was unique. I told a couple of my friends who thought it was really funny, so I posted it on Twitter. 4 days later, whilst watching a very popular comedy news programme on mainstream television, I saw my joke being repeated verbatim by a well known comedian.
Was I seething? Was I flying to my laptop to track down this disgraceful rapscallions’ website so I could harangue him mercilessly? Was I contacting my shady friends from the local underworld so they could go around, have a quiet word & get my joke back for me? Erm, no.
I sat for a moment, sipped my tea gently, like a guru from the Orient (not Leyton) with all the mystical calm that comes with deep understanding, and smiled to myself. In my mind, I was certain of something. Whether or not my original joke had been ‘utilized’ (plagiarised is such an accusatory and tasteless word) or the comedian in question had merely arrived at the same cerebral place as I independently, it meant that the humour that was emitting from my weird and sometimes wonderful, sometimes ‘blunderful’ brain was deemed fit for the masses.
With the advent of the internet, digital time stamping, intellectual property and the like, many people have become more than a little obsessed with who wrote what first. As if it was a crime for somebody to come up with the same idea at a later date. I pride myself on trying to be original, surreal, fresh & inventive when it comes to writing comedy. Jokes – especially one-liners – have been something I decided to try my hand at recently. I penned over 250 jokes in 2 months on a famous website, only to find that 15 were deemed duplicates that had previously appeared there. The tenet ‘great minds think alike’ or ‘idiocy loves company’ sprang to my surprised mind.
I remember the furore over Bill Hicks’ material being ripped off by Dennis Leary, who has gone on to make a very successful career. Hicks is remembered fondly for his originality and style, and yes, it appears Leary copied a good part of his act for a while. Hicks died 17 years ago, Leary is now a popular movie figure, seemingly continuing to be successful after his main source of material had passed on. I reserve judgement, but it portrays a strange change in the lifespan of a joke.
When I was a teenager in the early 1980s, all jokes were heard in the playground, the pub, at the match or in the young offenders unit. You heard a good one, you passed it on. Many originated in the comedy club scene: Bernard Manning, Chubby Brown, Jimmy Jones etc. or from television, Ben Elton, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Dave Allen etc. People relayed them to share the humour, to have a common ground, a point of reference, or just to give the lads a good laugh in the vault on a Saturday night. Nowadays it appears to be about separatism, ownership, a competitive need to be the first to get the text joke out to all your mates.
Humour has become competitive. Stand ups like Gary Delaney are accused of stealing from websites; he is counter-accusing website users of stealing his material. Did a joke originate with Tim Vine? Or was it one of Tommy Cooper’s? Does it really matter? We’ve reluctantly put the ‘fun’ in dysfunctional – it’s only a small observation of society’s changing ways, but it definitely highlights the way technology has increased paranoia & selfishness in the 21^st century. As the baby goat said to me, “I kid, you not”.

Edit this entry

About a year ago I returned to the UK to try and ”get back to my roots” after living in Canada, Spain and Denmark over a period of 15 years.
My goal was to gather together a bunch of talented people I had known for years and get some kind of coop together. People from different disciplines working together to create material that was as far away from the tired BBC, ITV mainstream as possible. My theory was ”If I’m sick of this crap”, there must be a large number of people out there who are thinking the same and with the internet it’s just a matter of finding those people.
I got in touch with the guy I’d met in Spain and we began to meet once a week at my flat ‘ up int thills’ above Manchester,UK.  He was an ex ”olic’ , that is, if you could abuse it he’d taken it and he also suffered from schizophrenia – not the best choice of a business partner, you might think – but we found that we clicked on many levels and began to work on a project to take into the schools around Salford to use his experiences to warn kids from rougher areas about the consequences of substance abuse.
He had always had the nick name of bury bobz so we decided to take the z off and make it Bury Bob and build the character around that. One afternoon I said ”Right lets try something different”
We set the camera rolling….my little 5 year old Panasonic camcorder – turned down the lights and started talking. Very quickly Bob appeared. An opinionated scally Manchester bloke with a very warped, but very funny view of the world. I sat behind the camera and watched in amazement as …the one who shall henceforth be known as Bury bob…came to life,
Over the next 3 months we had more of these sessions and uploaded them to You Tube and slowly but surely other characters began to appear from  Bob’s schizophrenic, from Terry Bull. q list confidant to the stars,well asteroids, to Snood P Whipper Salford’s urban warrior poet, rapper and general bad boy subversive. We even have a cannibal chef called Canny Kenny Bull ,Terry’s cousin.
Bob built a very strange and very orange website and over the following months developed a place where he could let us share his warped imagination and uniquely funny veiw of the world we live in.
We wanted to get to all those people who are sick of Saturday night pap and have an interactive site where people could send in questions for Bob and then film his responses. It would be an interesting experiment in interactive internet improv comedy. (Try saying that after a few smokes…I mean pints)
We built up Bob’s back story and  sketched out a family history so we could begin to involve other people, which was my original plan.
We intend to carry on working as a small tight knit group doing stuff that makes us laugh and having a bit of fun. Eventually we will be doing a full podcast with all the characters turning up and involving a larger group of friends and colleagues, but first we have to make a little money and we are relying on advertisers and donations for that as we would like to keep the site as free as possible for our users who need a laugh, because they don’t have any money or a job or a….don’t let me go there, I don’t want to have a rant.
We are also looking to help local good causes and I recently met a wonderful inspiring man called David Feldman from The Princes Trust group of charities and am hoping to be able to help in their goal to make Burnley rise from the ashes of despair and become the guiding light for inner city regeneration in the 21^st century. They are doing wonderful things there in a very practical way.
So you guys , our aims are modest…to bring a little sunshine and laughter into people’s lives in these dark times.
So if you like the sound of Bury Bob and would like to have a private chuckle check out the website and register with us so we can keep you informed and find out what is important in your world.
Just as a footnote we have also done several tunes that might be of interest, one of which is currently in the top 50 at revernation.com an online indie music chart. Your votes would be appreciated there a we would love to get to number one. The song is called Only on F  in Salford featuring Snood P Whipper

Manchester is the capital of English football.

Manchester is the capital of English football. It's official! Throphies and titles abound. The backslapping begins in the board rooms as they justify the mind boggling sums of money they spend and vie eachother for a bigger piece of the pie.

Nostalga cannot help but raise it's head reminding us of former glory days. The days when hotdogs were the staple diet on the terraces, not prawn sandwhiches and fine cheeses. Players with names you could pronounce.

Were things better when teams were not the all powerful money machines they are today.I don't know, maybe you would like to give me your thoughts on that.

Football songs are normally ghatly things that are aimed at the lowest common denominatoer.

This beautiful Game by Bury Bob is the exception. The lyrics are on the nail and the music keeps your ears interested.

Maybe all you fellow Mancunions out there should take this as your anthem for the summer.

How live do you want it to be. It's up to you.
