Mustard will apparently be featured in this Saturday's Guardian Guide!!

2009-12-09T12:30:00.003Z

Mustard will apparently be featured in this Saturday's Guardian Guide!!

this is what Alex Musson says:
The Guide
Just to let you know, I'm told that Mustard will be featured
on the comedy page of this saturday's Guardian Guide.

If you've not seen it, the A5 Guide is a weekly magazine with
listings etc and includes pages for Comedy, Theatre, etc.
Each has three recommended 'picks', so I'm assuming
Mustard is one of the three picks on the comedy page.

at The Howard Assembly Rooms, Opera North/Leeds Grand Theatre, New Briggate, Leeeeds

The music is by Mira Calix and the piece by United Visual Artists (UVA)

The guy (James Medcraft) who photographed the piece was doing it while i was invigilating so i got roped in to some of the pictures.

2009-02-19T23:00:00.006Z

i just made some pictures of dices for my friend Tom Hay (Haymode) to replace his dice on the top of his webpage

---->>>http://www.rollzero.com/
this is what it is ...

"The internet. Never before has man had the means to communicate so swiftly and so easily with so many of his fellow men. And what does he do with it? He browses porn. He watches a kitten fall off a table. He calls somebody a retard for misquoting Star Wars. He plays that game where you hit a penguin with a baseball bat. In short, he consumes nothing of value and produces even less. It's thanks to him that the web is primarily a huge heap of worthless binary data.

But it's not all bad. Wikipedia is trying to bring all knowledge to all people, Google is helping us to answer our questions at the click of a finger and eBay is preventing us from ever having to actually see or touch people when we buy their old trousers. It's a brave new world, a bright, digital future filled with potential. It makes us excited, scared and bored all at the same time.

That's where RollZero comes in. We lie somewhere between the Utopian dreamworld and the mound of crap. We can't tell you the chemical composition of aspartame, let you look up the lyrics to R Kelly's Gotham City or find you a cheap deal on a holiday to Greece, but we can do our best to make you laugh. Surely that's better than watching porn all day? Don't answer that.

Read on to for stupid letters of complaint, rants about technology and exceptionally nerdy stuff about videogames. Or view all the latest posts here."

which diceees will he choose? sit on the edgeees of your seatsees and find out in afew days!!!

T-Shirt for my Grandad!!!

credit crunch??? everyone needs clothes!!! cut back on snacks fatty and buy more hand drawn t-shirts!

i will iron it before i send it to my Grandad ... I promise.

German's like Mustard

2009-02-19T21:02:00.002Z

look the German's like Mustard
http://www.britcoms.de/

BabelFish translation :

Alex Musson, which sent man behind the Britcom
Fanzine Mustard, to me the first three expenditures
against a small Obolus, and I look forward already
to the detailed interviews with Graham Linehan
(nevertheless, it must again and again hang-wrote
to become: “Father Ted”, “The IT Crowd”, “Big Train”,
“Black Books”), SAM Bain and Jesse Armstrong
(” Peep show”, “The old Guys”) and Michael Palin
(well, here I save the Credits), on the numerous
Cartoons and on on all the jokes, which wait there
for me. For one, if I estimate that correctly, underground
publication seems to me all this very aufwändig made.
A subscription is safe you, of Mustard (” as lakes on
`The IT Crowd' if you look really closely “)!

You bet your ass we're "very aufwändig made"!

COMING SOOON!!! Mustard Issue 4 ... buy it, get it, have it, eat it

2009-02-13T17:56:00.003Z

Mustard Magazine Issue 4 is coming soon!
The magazine is liked and adored by both Mr Richard Herring AND Mr John Clees!!!
wowza!

also, it was on the IT-Crowd poster... but in the old version when it was photocopied!

anyway i just finished my page for it ... and here it is...

Buy Mustard here:
http://www.mustardweb.org/
or in Borders.

Buy it 'cos it's independently made and Alex is nice and he keeps talking worrying talk about there being no more Mustard... show him you care! why not subscribe!!

The comedy magazine 'Mustard' that I do picture pages for is looking for an intern type person!!!

∞∞Mustard is read and approved of by Mr John Clees!!! and Mr Richard Herring!!!
imagine such a thing! ba ba bing!!!∞∞

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Do you know anyone who'd want to do a bit of work
experience stuff at the Mustard office for a couple of days?

I'm swamped trying to get Mustard issue #04 done this
month and there's a fair bit of 'office assistant' stuff that
an intern/work experience person could help out with.

No money, but I'd buy lunch and they'd get a credit in
the magazine...

Let me know!

Science ladies!!

2009-02-01T00:30:00.006Z

i just done two illustrations for a feminist web-o-zine for an article by Charlotte Cooper (not related... or at least we haven't figured out how we're related yet) about Marie Curie.

Marie Curie is a magic lady ... she had loads of kids, won two nobel prizes and was the first women to be a professor (i think that's true)....well she was the first women to win nobel prize. AND her husband died in a tragic car accident...oh and all sorts and she was still ace!!!

here's the website

www.underthemicroscope.com

it's not on there yet ... i'm not sure when it will be.... soon i think.

....and another thing, i think i look a bit like Marie Curie, in the top picture, which i think makes me a big scientist legend too. TRUE!
