Hi folks, Chip Spankman here with another roundup of the goodies and baddies from the city that never sleeps; Tinkleton!

Doctor Woo star David Tennants is getting ready to hand over the reins to “Fat” Pat Smith. David said yesterday that he’s finished with the doc and that Fat Pat can ‘shove it up his arse for all I care‘. A clearly embittered David continued ‘That little shit thinks he can muscle me out of my job. I MADE the BBC, how DARE they do this to ME‘ before taking a large gulp of Tennants Super and jumping out of the window. David’s colleague, Chris Low was unavailable for comment. Better luck next time eh, David?

Cooperman star Tom Weller is getting ready to don the famous blue and green suit for the 9th series of Small Phil. The show, all about a Tommy Cooper impressionist who saves people from burning buildings is running the end of its course and fans are eager to see Tommy wearing the red fez that made the superhero so famous back in the 70′s. And c’mere, there’s more. The actor who’s going to play General Bod is none other than Callum Budgie, who was in that thing with that girl who kills people and eats waffles, or something. Don’t forget to shout ‘Up, up and away‘, Tom!

The general public are up in arms regarding the pricing for Calling Duty: Lots of Killings 2. Publishers Acticlover have decided to ramp up the price to £4.99. A full pound over the price of all other games. I spoke to a virgin yesterday who’s already queuing for it now, even though it’s not out until December of next year. He had this to say to me: ‘Yeah, it’s fucking disgusting, that is. Coz it’s only, like, some nob’ead in his bedroom writing a game which tekks like, a month or summat to write, you know wha’a mean. Now fuck off will yer, i was ‘ere fucking first, y’twat.‘

That’s all for this week, guys and chaps. See you next month for the same thing. £50, yeah? Try not to be so rough next time, ok? I can’t bloody sit down.

Woo, got my marquee for my arcade cab through from Gremlin. Very nice it is too. Although it’s a tiny bit dark and a little thick. Hopefully the strip light behind it will illuminate the whiteness within in.

Check it out. All my own work. More >

I bought a coin control board from a company in Kent as i thought mine had died (it’s a little board that controls the input of money for an arcade machine). The annoying that was I paid £17 for the board, then a tenner delivery costs, THEN vat on top of that. So a £17 pcb the size of a credit card actually cost me thirty quid.

Anyway, i couldn’t get the bloody thing to work. Wouldn’t connect to the coin slot, wouldn’t connect to the minipac properly. And i had a chap test out the original pcb and that works perfectly.

So i sent it back. More >

This fucking weather.

Now i’m not massive fan of the heat unless I’m on holiday but when you’re putting the big light on at half 5 in the evening coz it’s pissing it down outside then it sucks.

The Great British Summer.

*bows head in shame*

I’ve joined Facebook.

I hate myself. Wish I’d gone back on the crystal meths instead.

Hey sports fans, it’s Chip Wankleman here with another report of what’s hot and what’s not, who’s hard and who’s soft and who’s wet and who’s dry in the world of TV and movies. More >

Simper’s had the bloody top score on 1942 for a couple of weeks now and to be honest, i’ve had a couple of go’s but nothing too serious.

Last night I got serious.

And I beat it. More >

I haven’t done one of these for quite a while so i present to you: Former Child Stars

This guys were huge when they were young (popularity, not physically).

Now, not so much (well a couple of them are, but not as big as they were supposed to be)

But who are they? Some of them peasy, but i guarantee you won’t get them all. More >
