Can it be true?

Wifey's favourite Filipino Boy Band is headed this way! Got email confirmation from the band's management.

Scheduled the day after they hit Bangkok, this would be a great chance to see these thrash metal titans in the flesh.

While it may be a trip down memory lane fer some, their newer material does live up to expectations.

Frolic in the fooking park, anybody?

Well said, Ian!

Spotted in the Guardian today, an interview with a real LFC No9 - Ian Rush. He had this to say:

Where's your favourite destination? Malaysia – I go there every year. The people are friendly, the scenery's lovely. You have to go. I took my family last year and they fell in love with it as well.

Yer welcome around these parts anytime!

A Crying Shame

Well, Nando, the pix above shows ye wot kinda club ye just fooking joined. One which has fans blindly copy our banner without even bothering to remove the Shankly Gates motif from the design . . . wtf??!!??

When ye was playing shite, we said, "give the lad a break, he's been playing non-stop fer two fooking years."

When ye sulked on the pitch, we said, "rafa/roy didnae know how best to use ye & the tactics put too much strain on yer frail shoulders."

When ye fell on yer arse against piss poor defenders, we said, "Leave it out, he's recovering from injury."

One game in & already yer being compared to that doyen of crap & expensive strikers - Adriyv Schvenko . . . Hope ye likes it down there.

Better than Viagra!

Dropped by AutoConnexion's showroon in Jln 13/2, PJ last weekend & me is still having a fooking raging stiffy. Was told that there are some pre-reg 159s fer sale at a hefty discount & fook me, this is one seriously nice car. From the hand stiched leather interior to the triple headlamps, me very nearly creamed meself from the sheer beauty alone.

Most have fairly low-mileage on them as they were only used fer some promo work last Nov. Buyers will get RM20k knocked off the price tag (ie RM178k), nice number plate as well as six months free road tax.

Yes, it is a LOT of dough. But once ye've seen it . . .

The words 'beg, borrow or fooking steal one' come to mind.

ps: Ye can call Mazmi @ 0183765100 fer a test drive. Go on . . . ye won't regret it!

A Career in Modelling

Am sure some of ye tune in to Astro's ch734 regularly & would've noticed one of the trailers that goes something like this:

"It's not easy being a top model. Sure, there's the girls, the photoshoots & pampering. But behind the scenes there's the workouts, the extreme makeovers & the greasy fan boys. But at the end of the day, its all worth it."

Well, me is pleased to say D'Yella Beast got to experience just that when it was invited to be part of Italia Auto's calendar shoot.

The shoot took place @ Jemima Films on Jln Tun Razak which houses loads of vintage cars (that's another blog posting on its own when me has sifted thru the tons of pix me took). Five cars (Mito, 155, classic GTV, Bravo GT & yers truly) were invited plus a super rare Dino from the Jemima collection was used fer the shoot.

All in it was great fun & made the hours of muscle ache-inducing waxing D'Yella Beast worthwhile. Cannae fooking wait to see the finished product.

ps: A big TQ to Sherman of Time Studios & Nik Azwaa fer organising this. It was a fooking blast!

Welcome Back

Dear Mr Dalglish,

Welcome back to the dugout. Ye should never have left in the first place. And me will refrain from using words such as 'messiah' fer fear ye may be crucified fer not meeting unrealistic expectations.

Suffice to say, whilst me is overjoyed ye has returned, deep down there is a fear that we are turning into the Toon with the fervour fer club legends / hometown heroes, or worse, fooking Everton & the multiple returns of Howard Kendall.

But thank ye. The club needs ye. We need ye.

Ye'll Never Walk Alone.

Anfield Devotee

ps: Shame ye had to lose the first game to the manc's star performer - Howard Webb . . .

Respect the Elderly . . .

Hugh Hefner, the 84-year-old founder of Playboy magazine, has announced that he is to be married for the third time. In a message to his Twitter followers on Christmas Day, Hefner said he had given his 24-year-old girlfriend, model Crystal Harris, a ring.

"Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring," he clarified in a later tweet.
Hefner set up Playboy magazine in 1953, and Harris featured in it as Playmate of the Month in December 2009.

The soft-porn magnate and libertarian has been married twice before - to Mildred Williams in 1949, and Kimberley Conrad in 1989. Over the decades he has admitted affairs with dozens of Playmates. But last April Hefner and Harris reportedly "became exclusive".

"When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears," Hefner told Twitter followers.
"This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory." For her part, Harris told Twitter followers simply: "The most memorable Christmas ever." (From the BBC)

FFS says, tabik la this old man. Really living the Fantasy Island life. Power to the Senior Citizens me says . . .

Merry X'mas!

Wot has a scantily clad model has to do with Dec 25?

Absolutely nothing . . . but why the fook not eh?

Happy Holidays everyone!

Pictures Of You

Petrolheads who treat their rides like first wives, take note.

Here's yer chance to capture yer beloved wheels in all its greased lightning glory courtesy of Time Studios. Owner is a fellow Italia Auto member & has come up with some special packages.

As ye can see, me took the Yella Beast fer the shoot & me has to say, me is pretty fooking chuffed with the result.

Those who use better oils fer their cars than fer their own cooking & better towels to clean the cars than to wipe their own bollox should give this special offer serious consideration.

Anyone interested can call Sherman at 012-6918776.

For more information on the packages available, kindly click here: http://timestudios.blogspot.com/2010/11/to-all-automotive-enthusiasts.html

Go on, ye know its fooking worth it.

When the Four Horsemen rocked . . . (Metallica: Kill Em All)

Dusted off me copy of the album above & gave me Sunday morning the perfect heavy fooking metal wake up call (though not quite sure whether me neighbours apprreciated it!!!). And fook me silly, it is still as vibrant & a shock to the system as swilling from a bottle of Thunderbird under a sweltering noonday sun!

Before Sandman, Bob Fooking Rock, the ultra-slick videos, Napster fiasco & the ham-fisted attempts to regain former glory, Metallica were not just Bay Area heroes. They were the original masters of 'Thrash Metal' before that became a dirty word.

This debut from 1983 had the same effect on us fledgling long hairs halfway round the world as it did with teens everywhere. This was an album that signalled the creation of a generation gap between us & the older Purple/Sabbath crowd. Though most of us loved those classic bands as well, Metallica was OUR band. The pimply complexions, the stonewashed denim & white high cut sneakers combo, sleeveless jacket with patches, the scraggly hair - fook, they were one of us!

Tunes like Hit the Lights, Jump In The Fire & Seek & Destroy may sound primitive & even noisy to Black album converts, but to older longhairs (or baldies?) this remains a high point in genre.

Of course, many will debate the merits of the next three LPs, but this debut effort remains one of me fave metal LPs of all time. Ye can hear the urgency of a band taking flight and of a new sound breaking out.

Watch this vid & roll back the years . . .

Look forward to reading yer fondest memories of this classic that's now over a quarter of a century old . . .
