It's Thursday Where I Am.

Here's what's going down at Phil Glanville dot com today.

The Triumphant Return

Overpromise, underdeliver, amirite?

It’s not a Bartone episode, but it’s a podcast.  I’ll be doing a turn reading an Ernie Blog entry for of Jake Cordova’s podcast Just Not Right.  I’m apparently scheduled to show up during episode 122, which should be available next week.

Of course you already know this, because you’re a regular listener of JNR, aren’t you?  Well?  AREN’T YOU?

The Dangers of Falling Asleep on the Sofa on Friday Evening

Suddenly like a bank of fog you’re on a pebble beach masturbating a great white whale fluke dog cock of smoke and the Bering Strait and it’s a sit down wedding reception but oh no Paris Hilton is there on the guest list and you’re seated at her table but she’s come in fancy dress as Jane Roe from Roe vs Wade, which sends entirely the wrong message.

And I’ve lost my place in the book I was reading.

Coolness as a Function of Gothness

coolness = 10( (number of X chromosomes * 2) - 3) ^ gothness

My Twitter Feed

I am doing fuck all.

Hit refresh to see what I am doing now.

Batman’s Nights Off

Here’s a thought that struck me the other day. What do the good citizens of Gotham City do on clear nights*? Does crime run rampant across town, or do the criminals take the night off, too?

* because they can’t beam the bat signal onto the clouds, can they?

Where I’ve Been

Where haven’t I been, eh? EH?

New job, no girlfriend. That’s where I’ve been. It’s been an interesting couple of months.

I’m starting to get back on top of things, so expect some updates - maybe (gasp) even a return of the Hotel Bartone.

Quick Update

I know, I know. No Hotel Bartone Episode 7 and not a jot of anything else in a while.

Here’s the thing: I can’t be bothered. It’s that simple. I can’t be arsed, shagged, or indeed fagged to do anything.  It just really is quite that simple.

The Hotel Bartone - Episode 6

Breakfast at the Hotel Bartone

22 miles north west of Oxford on the A44, the Hotel Bartone. We awake to a new morning, a quick cocktail, and an apparently deserted hotel. The shenanigans of last night seem a distant memory as we tuck into a boozy breakfast - but naturally it won’t be that simple, or else there wouldn’t be a story to tell.

Why We Didn’t Win The World Cup

I just went looking for free MP3s of “Land of Hope of Glory”, “Jerusalem” and “I Vow To Thee My Country” online, and the best I could come up with was an - admittedly reasonable - rendition of “Jerusalem” recorded by a girls’ school choir from America.

Where did England go? Admittedly I left, but that was because I couldn’t fucking stand living there any more.

And that’s why we didn’t win the World Cup.

The Hotel Bartone - Episode 5

Doctor Hugh

22 miles north west of Oxford on the A44, the Hotel Bartone. Having taken a sharp left into the realm of horror as a wild beast tore a bloody trail through the Hotel, we find ourselves in the small hours of the night on the fairway of the Hotel’s golf course staring at a victim of a possible vampire attack.
