That's right the blog is no longer safe from the sterilized bum drizzle it has descended to in my long and laboured self inflicted exile! How long have I been away? What Have I missed? Is Tony Blair still Prime Minister? Does a Mars Bar still only cost 18p? Is it still safe to let your kids out on a Saturday night to go watch a Garry Glitter Concert?
The beginning of this tape is missing where one cat says to the other "I Must Break You!" Whilst "Eye Of The Tiger" is pumping away in the background.
You think this is bad? You should check out Hampster Kick Boxing and Gypsy Squirrel Bare Knuckle fighting. Shameful.
This was all going swimmingly until he fell in the cage and got his Cock bit off by a Swan! Honestly you French folk should spend less time muckin' about and more time practising how to win at Wars.
Now most poor Spak-welded fuckers would just give up and either join a Circus or go on Jerry Springer or the Jeremy Vile Show but these guys have used their unchosenly close proximity to quite fantastical effect.
(In case you don't play Guitar...this is really difficult.)

Happy birthday lovely bro. Ah, I look at this dauntless photo of you and your protégés and still fondly remember the time when I could scrap with you safely. Then there was that fateful turning-point on Christmas night 1996 when I delivered an ale-fuelled taunt that Ade Edmondson would have been proud of, moved in to administer a decisive nipple twist, at which you spoke the words that echo in my ears to this day:
"Brother, don't... I only know how to hurt you."
So I not only salute you for the fine figure of a man you have become, for being my fondest familial friend, and for being a consistently sunny soul who brings smiles to all who know you, but because lurking behind that warm, jovial exterior watches an ever wary ninja vigilant against the drunken assaults of his foolhardy sibling, ready to put him through a wall if he tries.
I love you muchly, and I'll get you when you pass out. x.
Time is ticking on and Lucy and Piran's big she-bang is fast approaching. As we all scuttle about trying to find suitable places to lay our heavy, beer-fuelled heads for the night, could someone please give those memebers of the clan attending the do a more detailed idea of the evening's plan? Would be good to refresh everyone's memory of where the do is happening, what time we are expected, what's the low-down on dress code (KP tells me the theme is 'slutty-chic', which sounds exciting - lord knows what Papi'll will come in if that's the case!), if there will be loads of hot single women/poles there, not to mention do they serve Wray (if so, I'm not coming).
Also, are there any plans for a ridiculously hungover brunch type thang on Sunday? If not, why not? We've got a babysitter for the weekend and fully intend to make the most of it.
P.S. I've sent an invitation to the blog to Piran. Let me just take this opportunity to welcome him to the hallowed turf that is Yippeekayay. All hail the new boy!
Hopefully Miranda won't be too bleary eyed from sleepless nights with Joshua to miss this special birthday greeting from Yippeekayay.
It's been a while since we all last saw you and we all hope things are going well with your expanding family.
Have a very happy birthday today and we hope to see you at Lucy and Piran's do at the end of the month.

Just when you think social media can't possibly go any further, some weirrd internet geek comes up with something like this. There are still a few scenes left. Anyone up for it?
If, like me, you're a fan of Wes Anderson, I think you'll like his latest film. It's a retelling of Roald Dahl's classic, Fantastic Mr. Fox and stars the voice talents of Anderson stalwarts like Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson and Bill Murray, as well as great new recruits like Clooney and Streep. I took the boys who lapped it up. It's totally original and manages to depict Dahl's world as you imagined it as a child (stop motion animation definitely adds to this) whilst overlaying a huge dollop of Anderson's trademark idiosyncracies and stylistic quirks. It's hard to describe such a weird and wonderful film. I suppose the only words that can really describe it are... cussing fantastic. Enjoy.
It's that time of year when we switch over to French momentarily and have to be nice to the strange French bird that's been hanging around me for the last 17 years (I suppose it is only once a year).
She's so old now that she needs reminding of exactly how old she is. Well, she's 38 and still looking pretty hot, dare I say it.
Spare a moment and make her day a bright, shiny, happy one and wish her a big 'joyeux anniversaire' today.
P.S. She's actually only 37, but she probably believed me...
No doubt there will be hundreds of pictures turning up in due course, but here is the beautiful bride in all her glory.
The ceremony was a crazy mix of music, colour, fire, food stuffs and flower petals and the whole day was absolutely, incredibly wonderful. You guys were definitely missed, particularly when the dancing got going, but hey, we've still got London to go.
So I wanted to say not just congratulations Lucy and Piran, but thank you for such an amazing day x
Although the recent experimental crashing of a satellite into the moon was a bit of a flop, the nerds at NASA at least showed they had a bit of a sense of humour by quoting from Douglas Adams' genius Hitchhiker's Guide on their official mission Twitter page.
Made me t(w)itter anyway...
