Sporadic blogging by @dfergpr. I’ve got a note and everything! February 22, 2014. That’s why grammatical mistakes in television advertisements have me frothing at the mouth. There is never a justification for it. Never. Even the liberal education policies of past decades, where the expression of the idea was deemed to be more important than the execution, can justify highly-paid advertising agencies getting spelling and grammar wrong. So it’s not just me, then. Follow his tweets on @carlpeter. Presumably...

And another thing . Friday, September 20, 2013. What the Hell was Kate Bush singing about? But what the hell was she singing about? Well, now it can be revealed. Listen to this video. And read these lyrics at the same time. If you can. Or listen and read. You know what I mean. Who Theo Kaffio-Concolman is may never be known. Out on the whiny, windy moor. Sweet Roland fall in brie. You had distemper, like my jealous seed. Too hot, too greasy. How could you leave me when I need a tube? Oh oh oh oh! Oh oh o...

And another thing . Saturday, December 31, 2011. Out with the new and in with the old. As a younger man I made a fair bit of money writing screenplays for other people which were never filmed. I have inverted this trend in recent times by publishing my own scribblings and having no-one buy them. I'm hoping that with a proper push the new subKultur. Have a good one. Sunday, December 11, 2011. It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now . On the TV. There are no dashing doctor...

And another thing . Wednesday, May 21, 2014. I'm sorry, John . Having spent an evening in the company of master wordsmiths Mike Garry. And John Cooper Clarke. I thought I would try an homage to the latter. If you get a chance to see either of these brilliant men performing, grab it. Even if poetry is not your thing. Anyway, here's a short one in the style of JCC. Sorry John. Denim-clad, hormones in flux. I marked the days and all the fucks. I didn't give about the scene. Described in Smash Hits. It's har...

And another thing . Thursday, January 22, 2015. There are no endings, only beginnings. I can write this now, because he is dead. In the mid-1990s, I was commissioned by Terry Clegg to write a pilot for a TV project. I don’t drop Terry’s name lightly. He’s retired now, but even the most cursory search would reveal that Terence A Clegg. Comes calling, you pay attention. The project I was engaged to write was a drama based on the memoirs of Albert Pierrepoint. It was this realisation that made me stop and c...

And another thing . Thursday, April 19, 2012. A matter of conscience. Unfortunately for Bahrain, there is the little matter of its pro-democracy campaigners and government oppression. A little local difficulty, most of the time. It's not as if this is Syria, after all. Last year, Formula One had to withdraw from its commitments in Bahrain. Not that anyone but race fans cared - the circuit owners still paid up the full fee. I would argue it does not. As for the fans, I doubt many of us could point to Bahr...

And another thing . Friday, June 22, 2012. Thursday wallows, Friday follows . Gather followers by being engaging. Don't be afraid to unfollow bores and people who just jibber-jabber to fill a void.". With this in mind, I have gathered a list of people whom I follow and recommend to you. This is not the #ff methodology usually employed I suppose, but Twitter never allows room for context. I would not expect someone to follow anyone just because I said so. In some kind of alphabetical order:. Hilarious and...

And another thing . Tuesday, May 15, 2012. 2012 - a Buzzcocks Odyssey Part 3. OK, I'll wait in the lobby. OK, I'll wait outside. The band will be out in a minute and we'll go back to the hotel for a proper chat. It's getting bloody cold. Scantily-dressed young women are going into the venue. Something's Gone Wrong Again. I spot Buzzcocks' manager Raf packing up at the merchandise booth. I front up to the bouncer (which I should have done an hour ago). "OK if I nip in and buy a T shirt? When the band leav...
