Jim Fixed It For You (Russell)

Ben says:
Zooey Deschanel has joined the cast of Jim Carrey's next project Yes Man, the movie is based on British author Danny Wallace's memoir and "follows a man (Carrey) who decides to change his life by saying yes to everything that comes his way, leading him on a series of unexpected comedic adventures that turn his life upside down.
Russell says:
with hilarious consequences
Russell says:
So Jim: will you be murdering yourself in the eyes now?
Russell says:
"Um..... YES!"
Ben says:
Everyone wins
Ben says:
Especially Danny "Bastard" Wallace
Russell says:
"I have written a book containing just one word, and that word is Yes."
"That sounds shit Danny."
"Yes."
Ben says:
This new Hives record is "quite good"
Ben says:
Very well produced, lots of potential singles, a lot of songs that sound the same though
Russell says:
I hearded a bit of them on thems radio, and it sounded like The Hives. That is as much opinion as I could muster due to the burning smell eminating from the car at the time
Ben says:
I am glad
Russell says:
It was OK though. Turns out a potato bag had wrapped itself around the axle and was setting fire to itself. This is the way I felt about hearing the Hives. A mixture of fire and relief.
Ben says:
Ha
Ben says:
Are you writing every message for potential blog use?
Ben says:
You're very on form today.
Russell says:
Is it that obvious?
Ben says:
Its a mixture of fire and comic relief.
Russell says:
I want to be on your tumblr
Ben says:
Ha. Never you worry about that!
Russell says:
It will never happen

Try Not To Think.

Pip says:
I interviewed someone this week born in 1990. NINETEEN NINETY. I may have already complained about this, but I am old and allowed to be forgetful
Ben says:
"BUT WHICH *IS* YOUR FAVOURITE TURTLE?"
Ben says:
"HOW *DO* YOU DO THE BARTMAN?"
Pip says:
There was two of us about the same age doing the interview and we were both depressed.
Ben says:
My best friend John was round yesterday and we were doing the 'grumpy young men' bit
Pip says:
"I bet when she sees those 'I love the 1980s' shows, she thinks it's all made up. Whereas it's only Stuart Maconie that's fictional."
Pip says:
Sadly we're not old. It only gets worse.
Ben says:
No, but young people have got younger
Pip says:
Bastards.
Ben says:
I was saying the other day that I didnt start buying music until I was 15
Ben says:
And that would be suicidally unacceptable now
Pip says:
Me too. And I stopped at 18.
Ben says:
15 has become 8.
Pip says:
My CD collection is a microcosm of the late 90s.
Ben says:
And paedophiles have become legal tender.
Pip says:
How many paedos is it to the pound these days?
Ben says:
Its about 6.3
Pip says:
I'm now picturing a big bank note with Jonathan King on one side and Garry Glitter on the other.
Pip says:
"This entitles the bearer to one moral outrage"
