March Update
Posted by Bill on March 15th, 2008
It’s been a busy time these last few weeks. Finished the Museum of Curiosity, which is going out now and what a lark that was. The WSPA benefit at the Hammersmith Apollo ended with my 4 year old son booting Robin Ince up the arse as he danced in a bear suit for the amusement of many people, not least myself.
The Helper Wormes have been most obliging and have woven a new, static site to go alongside the twiddly one. For those of you without Flash, or if your diary is so busy you can’t bear to wait, you can get at the stuff quicker.
Been at a radio recording for The Ragged Trouserd Philanthropists all week, something which Johnny Vegas has organised and asked me to do, and I was glad to oblige. During which , me and Kevin The Actor Eldon nipped into the Toxick Caverne of Woe, the West End to be photographed wearing huge orange pants bearing the slogan Fair Trial My Arse, to keep up the pressure on the gov. about the poor sods still banged up in Guantanamo without trial. Clive Stafford-Smith of Reprieve was accused of trying to smuggle pants into the inmates – don’t know exactly what they thought, whether these were laser pants , or special inflatable pants they could swim away on. The thing was hosted by the lovely people at LUSH so much love and respect to the alluring soap-bomb wranglers.
Also did a photo shoot for the forthcoming doco I made about Stonehenge for The History Channel. They had me got up in a load of hippy gear leaping about in a disused car-factory in Ladbroke Grove, which is probably what I would have been doing on a day-off anyway.
Could also be doing Tinselworm Part 2 in the West End of London this Autumn, as well as sorting out the OZ and NZ dates.. all go, no rest for the bearded. Onward onward I say. BB

Hurrah! I am the first to comment. How gratuitous. I do hope you will get to NZ (come to Wellington!) in 2008. You have quite a fanbase and your concert dvds are certainly floating around in numbers. s’there.

Mate all I can say is you rock, am sitting at home in london watching your classic collection as we plan our wedding, and the missus and I are pissing ourselves Its been a dodgy experience, the wedding planning not your dvd, I’m marrying a canadian in canada, and looking for an out there freaky ecentric drawcard ….interested??? Its in July just north of Toronto, a djembe jungle gig
ok I am a peasant who lives in the laminated book of dreams but thats ok and am on my knees….u up for giving a few nutters a laugh with your brilliance in exchange for a few canadian club and dry’s, some aldous huxley drugs……perhaps whatever money we can raise selling doors, door to door

Hi Bill
We loved Black Books and Part Troll and just got Cosmic Jam so I thought I’d check out your site. I’m absolutely over the damm moon that you support the animal charities we do. WSPA and the bear rescue projects in Asia – one day maybe the animals will get animals the freedom from harm, respect and dignity they deserve… Also will I wake up one day and be able to play the piano like you ???
Keep on doin what you’re doin. the world needs more people like you.

Ah, a nice quick access site. Much as the flash one was very flash and shiny, it was darn slow…
More importantly – Oz tour dates! Please do many, many shows in Sydney. In fact, if you come to the Enmore Theatre, I’m only 5 minutes away. Very convenient. Plus, you could pop in for a cuppa!

Once I asked Robin Ince if he liked chocolate that’s been on the floor and he said…
Yes.
Then I asked if he liked chocolate when its been in the dust and he said…
No.
