Bellenda Carlisle

Not scary like John's story but it reminded me of a weirdo I encountered once. Years ago I bought a really cool vintage synthesiser off ebay for my sister's birthday, I paid for postage and stuff and just expected it to be delivered shortly. I can't remember how long after but I was at home watching TV with my siblings, it was 1 in the morning and pouring with rain when the doorbell rang, my brother got up to answer it and I followed a few seconds after to see what was going on. At the door was a really weird looking bloke, like a 5'2 Brad Dourif with long greasy hair and coke bottle glasses. He stood in the rain staring at my brother for a sec before asking him "are you Bellenda?" My brother replied no then the guy threw a bulky black binbag at my brother before literally running off into the night. I started to follow after him to see what his deal was when my brother called me over to show me that in the bag was a vintage synthesiser. It was absolutely pristine as well, I have no idea why he was such a weird bastard about it.

That was a weird show but there was quite a lot of fun stuff on it. I only watch the ppvs so I couldn't believe my boy Brock was fighting a heel Daniel Bryan with no buildup, that's a real dream match. Even though I've never seen that heel Bryan before, him taking that beating then delivering a great comeback with those creepy facial expressions did a nice job of putting across what he's about and I got totally sucked into the match.

Is anyone else watching Titans? I'm a hardcore DC guy but I think all the superhero TV shows except Daredevil and Punisher are fucking shit. I gave Titans a chance though and I can't get ebough of it. The interplay between Robin and the guest character this week (episode 6) was brilliant, all the guest characters have been great, Hawk and Dove were really well done too.

And Hogan was going to be Doomsday in Tim Burton's ill fated Nicolas Cage Superman film, and he was going to be the new bass player for Metallica.

The amount of people who say they've nearly got a role is incredible. I've heard both Billy Idol and Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P say they were the top choice to play the T-1000 in Terminstor 2 before Arnie vetoed them.

My favourite in as long as I can remember, I was buzzing when I left the cinema.

I still can't get over their names, incredible.

I live off Holloway Road and I think of this song all the time when i walk down it, Holloway Rooooaaaad.

I know I'd feel safer with 20,000 gallons of petrol on my property

I don't think Manowar would work if they didn't take themselves seriously, acting like they're the biggest band in the world has been their shtick for years and I think it's really what's kept them going all this time. Plus it's a lot more fun laughing at them if they're not in on the joke, I'd take that over tongue in cheek shit like Turisas any day.

He collaborated a lot and lots of his classic stories were a threadbare outline with the artists filling in everything else but he was happy to be positioned as the figurehead and take the vast majority of credit. Still a total one of a kind legend with a huge imprint on pop culture though.

In his defense at least he's still tall as fuck.

Not something I'd be into but I saw Status Quo advertised gigs advertised, I can't believe they're still going after Rick Parfitt died, genuinely surprised at that one.
