Ok,over the last 24 hours there have been 65 comments about the first post on this blog. All of them SPAM ok, now strap yourselves in.I am about to soapbox a little here and there is a chance I might get a little sweary too

Congrats Spam merchants,thanks to your automated crap peddling I have spent the last hour or so clearing up my inbox . Guess what I don’t want tyadol or any pharmaceuticals off you. If i want drugs i will go see a doctor and get a prescription. as i am english and contribute the our glorious NHS .

of course this could be advertising tailored to overseas client. In which case will I get a cut of your takings? After all people pay to out up posters on billboards. no didn’t think so. well screw you. I will be liasing with Animationblogspot to find a way to combat you r crap peddling once we have a way to stop you I will be clearing ths site and i might very well be forced into disabling comments on this blog I ABSOLUTELY refuse to put up with this situation

EDIT
Ok there should be some spam filters in place now. sorry but if you are legitimately posting a comment with more than 1 link in it then it will not post. Sorry thank the shit-peddlers for that, spoiling it for everyone

EDIT

right now i am seriously considering finding a way to totally disable people posting to this blog its contrary to the whole ethos of the internet. but even today I had 30 or so posts for tramadol. which is a lot less than 300 but the filters should have stopped them but they don’t seem to work properly



getting old…

Went to see A and the Wildhearts Last night. Last time I saw A was 5 years ago and I was jumping up and down like a lunatic.
Last night I was so lethargic it was not even funny. Its kind of sobering to realise you are one of the ’stand at the back crowd’.

Also I read today that Oliver Postgate has died

:(

I grew up watching Ivor the engine and Bagpuss . I have some place a radio interview he gave to Phil Jupitus talking about the little things he would knock up to make animation. Little additions to a Bolex camera, Usually made out of Meccano. I think in many ways He was a very British Animator, Part Artist, Part technician and with just the right amount of eccentricity.
