It's the 'Dot Com' that makes us international...
(I'm the only broken record on this show.)

Hello you!

Did I mention that i'm in Canadia?

I introduced Alex's Brothers Cousin to Geordie Star Wars last night. He confessed afterwards that as funny as he had found it he only followed aboot a third of the dialogue. You be the judge:



Clicky for Gusgreeper.
Yesterday also featured the recording of the first ever "proper" session of Liquid Inspiration Podcast. We had always known that the recording of Session 1 would coincide with my visit to the colonies but with a little inexpensive technology purchase and a smidge of British "outside of the box / In the shed" style thinking, we were able to record as normal. Corinna sat in as a special guest and it made for a truly international podcasting sensation!

Hello you insatiable lot!
I am having a wicked awesome time here in the city of Vancouver.
So much fun!
Due to my camera being half inched before my flight out here, the vast majority of the pictures of my trip over here have been lovingly snapped by Corinna or All Bother Chips.

Now, many of you may remember a short while ago me and Joe met two stoners in a pub and took a ride on the tube surrounded by fans. Remember? You may have even seen some of handsome Joe's Facebook pics?

Well I had a surprise when I arrived here last week:

Clicky for Mrs Carlson's Flickr. Phaeds being in vancouver was a big surprise and an awesome one!

But It's still a thousand degrees out here as Vancouver battles the heat wave and so, true to my lazy lazy style...

Random photo mash!

A big thank you for funsies to Also Bemuses Cats, Mrs Carlson, Mojave, Ms Spockette and Phaedra.

What is a Mojave?

Clicky for the best worst show on the internets (Pic by @ABC4)

Nobody knows what it is!

Hello you silly billies!

I trust you have all found this quality item and if you haven't then I strongly suggest that you do, It now is also available on iTunes. Just search Liquid Inspiration Podcast in the iTunes store. It's free you fool! You might as well.

I am still alive and looking like a man from the past here in Canada despite the insane heat and the plentiful and delicious alcoholic beverages.

I am however, today, very very hungover and so I have taken it upon myself to write a small info update here.
This week I have mostly been critiquing the cultural differences between the beautiful country of Canada and smelly old Blighty.

These are updated several times a day and can be found here and also here.
Some might say this is somewhat of a cop out of a post, I am sure that I will be posting many many pictures of my visit here over the next few days. For now be quiet and enjoy:

C.J Hixon culture update: I met a chap from Ipswich last night. Canadians will let anyone through the border. #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: Canadians are very forgiving when you "Bruce Campbell" their morning coffee. #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: Have just enjoyed a delicious bowl of what the indigenous people call "Kraft Dinner". #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: Omnipitant beings apparently cancel fireworks out here. #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: The Geordie accent does not translate over here. #GeordieStarWars #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: Freezers here feature slabs of actual "Arctic Sensibility" perfect for beer o'clock. #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: showers also feature a binary hot/cold dial... Fancy! #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: Squirrels in Canada roam the streets wealding baseball bats and foul language. #Canada

C.J Hixon culture update: spotted @jeckles "Soul Beard" whilst gobbing off on: http://jecklesradio.com #Canada #SBR

C.J Hixon culture update: Marlboro Reds are made by B&H out here. #Canada

Oh Canadia... (not a typo)

Clicky for YVR... the place not the track. Hello you!

If you were not aware I am in Canada. Vansterdam! For The Win!

The next few posts will be typed on a mac on the other side of the world to where these things generally get punched out one fingered on an antiquated six stone laptop. I'm thinking that this is going to work out just fine.

I received a bit of a massive treat last night.
I listened to a full episode of Shitty Blog Radio LIVE! Because of the time difference rather than it being on around 04:00ish it was on around 19:00ish. I even got Skyped onto the show with All Bottoms Crinkle, Mrs Carlson and Gus. There was some pretty healthy discussion and some stereotypical behavior from all involved. If you would like to hear this episode it can be legally downloaded here.

I imagine that these posts will be fairly short and sweet for the time that i'm out here.
After all I am on holiday.

"You can go away now"

Wake up. Start again.
(Incorperating the death and re-birth of my vintage laptop, How to break a foot, Liquid Inspiration Podcast and Joe)

This is what happens when your antique laptop gives up the ghost and you find yourself without scrobbles and email for two weeks.

Actually no. This is what happens when you go without Interwebs and Scrobbles for two weeks:

It's the .com that makes it cool. Sexy.

Actually no, the fact is the best thing one can do in such a situation of this type is go about creating a form of Internet only media, something that can only be accessed with a fully functional computer and an Internet connection...

..."Like what?" you may ask.
Hmmmm......

It's the .com that makes us international. My boozy "after school" project with this fine young gentleman:

It's the .com that makes us international. A man that laughs in the face of the French language then throws 'Beef Dripping' sandwiches at it for being a ponce, a man that knows nothing about sports that can't be played whilst drinking a pint of lager, a man that is simply known as Bromley Daz.

Good good.

Whilst I was on my net vacation rumours got out that I was either incarcerated for rigging the Iranian election or that I was on the run in order to escape a DNA test that would prove that I sired at least two of Micheal Jackson's children.
Subsequently some handsome man took it upon himself to produce a shirt that is sweeping the fashion world like a small Victorian boy up a particularly filthy chimney:

Clicky for buying ability. I have beard jealousy.

So yes, what have we learned?
Do download your free copy of Liquid Inspiration Podcast.
Always enjoy your scrobbles.
And never ever eat a phall before Blogging /Flying internationally / Sitting on the floor in front of your newly repaired laptop for prolonged periods of time. Take it from me.

What the fuck was that all about?

Who honestly knows or cares?


I'm back baby!
