FGRC - ANNOUCEMENT
It looks like i have Shin Splints. I have most of the symptoms. The online Doc and more importantly Artie Byrd have told me to stop running and rest the leg. For the last few weeks i've been trying to run through it but i cant anymore, its just too painful. I really don't want to but i'm gonna stop the running til it's better. I am however going to carry on with the 100 day challenge. I'm going to do 30mins of exercise a day. We'll be getting an exercise bike soon so i'll be combining that with weights, sit-ups, press-ups, etc. Hopefully it won't be too long a wait til i run again. Just so you know. This is NOT a fail. Tell 'em Artie!

DEAR DIARY (Jan Part 1)
OLO NEWS..
Dear Diary,
Pretty pretty good start to the year..or decade if you like! 3 radio plays in a week! We're glowing.
We've got a few people currently working on 'Back From England' remixes which hopefully will emerge soon-ish.
We are looking forward to the new TV show we're gonna make. It's called "Ol' Boozey".
Think 'Last Of The Summer Wine' meets 'Postman Pat' meets 'Keeping Up Appearances' - a sure fire HIT! JH will play the lead role.
Practice sessions are going well. We have constructed a new setlist. SPHINX RETURNS!!
Our vinyl arrived safe! Having it our hands feels rather special.
MH recently made a grimey dusty beat called 'K9' - It's amazing!
We've saved the best news til last. JH spoke to Lard (Marc Riley) the other day and has confirmed a 6 Music live radio session in March! ..Mustn't grumble (sorry we couldn't resist).

REAL OLO RADIO!
ON THE REEEAL RADIO!!!! As you can see from the tracklist below our new single 'Back From England' got played on Marc Riley's 6Music show last night. Check us out rubbing shoulders with Nick Cave & Radiohead..
JH: Bit of a shock! I spat my tea out over the radio when i heard it. I think we are gonna retire now, it's been a long career. I like the way Marc Riley cocks it up when introducing it, it just adds to the phoney drama of the song. On the digital radio they spelt us as 'Hollow Worms' which is nice, it's better than 'Old Worm' which we've had before.
So yeah that means you can listen to our single 'Back From England' IN FULL now if u like? It's up on the BBC iplayer for 7 days.

(4th song in)
Hope you like it, if you don't..good news, the rest of our new stuff doesn't sound anything like it.

If you see me anytime soon, ignore my funny walk, don't laugh, i don't have pant or ballbag problems. I'm really struggling with the 100 days of running. Running everyday for 36 days straight has caused my legs to give up a bit. I can still run but walking and even standing up is a problem. Looks like we're gonna be getting an exercise bike soon so i'm gonna run on that for a few days to protect my legs from the street pounding. It's been pretty tricky of late what with the ice on the street. I don't moan though. So many people be moaning these days, thought everyone wanted snow!? I've not really seen any snow recently, only on the news. I'm happy for the school kids, it's the best feeling in the world when school gets cancelled.My Brother and i put together a little video trailer for the full blown 'Back From England' video the other day..well, it took a bit longer than a day to make. The editing was worked in around feeding times. At one point we were editing with roast beef and yorkshire puddings. You may have seen it? If not have a look. It's had over 200 views which is pretty good the band. The green screen kind of worked. We're not that good at making videos so it's gonna be a bit scrappy but then again i like scrappy. I like smart things, but generally for others. We were going for that Wizardora meets Magic Magic E meets QVC meets Jackson 5 kinda feel. It's a bit of a worry though, this full video we're doing now. We have 2 weeks to make it. We'll do it but we really don't want the stress and worry of a last minute job. I should really be doing OLO stuff now but i think i wanna get up to speed with everything else before i get started (i won't ignore you my lovely blog), but once i get started on the video i'll be like a machine! I've also got about 20 odd other things to do before our tour and on top of that i've gotta do an album cover for another band, and a load of other stuff i won't bother mentioning because i realise this is getting pretty boring now.
I made a half face pig mask thing for our tour. I LIKE IT!! I posted a green photo of it earlier if you wanna check it out. I wanna get a big green coat to wear too i think.
Went to Bristol again for a band practice. A bit up and down, more up though. 'Disney' our new song sounds really good. I'm really liking doing the lyrics for it. I'm throwing all kinds of crap in the mix, chatting about Poodles, Sharks, Ducks, and 'the old times'. Spent Saturday night watching TV. God it was depressing! ITV have an evening hat-trick of murderous shows..1. 'Take Me Out' 2. 'All Star Mr & Mrs' 3. 'anything...with Piers Morgan'. I think it was the worst TV i've ever seen..not even in a funny way. BBC2 & Elvis saved the day late on. Bring back the flying X! Dig up Elvis for Saturday night with the King!
Receiving good, promising news on an almost daily basis now, yet to see the results of the good threats but i'll let you know if anything happens. EXCITING!
Had a weird nights sleep where i thought i was dying. Then i dreamt i was in a horror action film. there were non stop killings and things blowing up. My mate was in a newspaper as a 'one to watch' for a made-up Caribbean island football/song-writing team in the build up to the world cup.
The expiry date on my muscle rub is 1997! HOT! Its all about the baths and the rub downs now.
I started listening to daytime Radio 1 again. We'll see how long that lasts.
Baths and books - 2 new things for James in 2010...wooooah!! hold the front page!!! At the moment im reading 'Renegade - The lives and tales of Mark E Smith'. Its been a good laugh before bed the last few nights.
Celeb Big Brother has started. I'm loving Steven Baldwin's weirdness. He's gonna flip soon i can tell. I reckon this year will be full of drama.
My lists sorted and stuck up on wall. Getting seriously organised for the next 2 weeks of stress! It should be fun making videos, art, music, etc...it never is..but whats the point in doing anything else? What are u gonna leave behind?

New Years Eve was a strange one. I was pretty much set on staying in but got bullied into going out with some of the family to a village hall party. It was like a cross between 'Shameless' and 'Pheonix Nights'. Everyone knew each other and we were the strange new folk who had to walk through the dancefloor to 'La Bamba' and 'Mumbo no.5'. It reminded me a bit of the 'throw the jew down the well' scene in Borat. Feeling quite scared i necked aload of booze to get through the painful first hour which included party games and audience participation!! Arrrggggh! The dreaded words AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION. Luckly i didn't get dragged up, but my Brother did! He was forced into an air guitar game which he lost out to a small child. Usual new years eve stuff happened after the games, 'Come On Elieen', bad Dad dancing, party poppers, and sausage rolls. It was all soo bad it was good. I actually ended up having a really fun time and glad i didn't spend the night in a queue for a club or a queue for drinks or in a queue pissing my pants for the toilet."I realized when I was younger that I was a thief and a git"........ Quote from some random bloke chatting to me...... - @Pouss
"Flo-rida, Rolf Harris, sister sledge, chuck berry, the hits keep on coming......"

"How did @crocodileyears get dragged into an air guitar contest? Against kids." - @Pouss
"@heinzjunkins is talking to the cat calling him "Schmucker" "ladette baguette, heavy on the mic" direct quote" - @Pouss
OH god. i just remember dancing to 'She Wolf'!??
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, crank-months, years, decades,....all crumble when u think about what u are doing and who u are. i am not an INSECT! i am a HUMAN INSECT!
2000 - 2010 - Nothing happened. See u on the other side.
