Calling All Office Fans

   Who's been to the Coventry Conference? Ah yes, the fictional Coventry Conference, co-ordinated by the equally fictional Eric Hitchmough. A man whom I've never fictionally met, or even seen, yet know so much about. From his little withered hand, the wanking claw, to his signature catchphrase, 'I don't agree with that in the workplace!' Eric is... and that is what I want.

   If I've lost you, I can only assume you're not quite the fan of The Office that I called for in the title of this post, or I'm not the writer that I think I am! Allow me to explain...

   The Office is the single greatest sitcom of all time, sure, so it makes sense for it's legion of fans to have a social outlet to congregate and quote the show to their heart's content. The Facebook group 'Do You Not Know Who ERIC HITCHMOUGH Is'DYNKWEHI, provides such a platform.

   With it's mix of quality quoting, imaginative imagery and creative commenting, it's an Office fans mecca. I'll share with you a handful of my favourite posts from fanboys below. Or girls, they could be a woman. Women are as filthy as men. Not naming any names - I don't know any - but women are dirty.


   Following on from the above posts, I thought it was time to put my money where my mouth is. Not that I'd ever shouted my mouth off about posting to the group. In total the 3 posts above garnered 4.1k likes plus... 4.1k like tops! But how many could I achieve with the same amount of posts? 5k? 6k?

   The answer? 36, or something like that over all. And that included friends and family liking out of sympathy. My most successful post, with 75% of the likes, a landslide you might say, is below. Monkeh!


   Request to join the group and you could be accepted at your peril. As for every Tom Fox, Gaz Black and Matt Yerosimou there's a Susan Baskett, and the good people of DYNKWEHI are punishing when it comes to a really rubbish post. Just see Susan's mad ramblings about a DVD player below. To be fair, it was a DVD of Ricky Gervais' 'Life on the Road', so she got what she deserved.

My (Albeit Brief) Career In Clips...

...charts a young thespians journey, half a decade in the making. But whom? Well, to answer that question I refer you back to the first word in the title...'My'. From humble advertisement beginnings to voice-over work, through charity and live action gigs, what you're about to witness shows the diversity, dare I say genius, that I've sprinkled on an array of roles. Legally, I must say that I don't own the rights, nor will I ever, to any of these pieces of art. Oh, except for the last one, which I conceived, relentlessly planned, shot and acted in myself on the tightest of budgets. Enjoy... 1. Background Filmed during one night in a museum , unlike the lying Ben Stiller franchise, I got my big break in a 'supporting artiste' role. You won't have to keep your eyes peeled for long, as I nonchalantly dominate the picture from 00.04, even if I do say so myself. Fleeting glimpses follow, but don't let that distract you from the real scene stealer at 0...

The Difficult Second Blog Post...

...wasn't all that difficult to write, truth be told. Whether or not it makes sense, or can pass the 'Why the hell have I just read that?' test, is another matter. It's the story of a man (me) who was forced to play uncle to two little girls (my nieces) by their mother (my sister) and her father (also my father). The backdrop for this story is the city of Coventry , and the names of those two little girls? Gareth and Rosalita (pictured).* Gareth, named after the brilliant legal mind  Gareth Peirce , herself a  woman , is somewhere between the ages of 2 1/2 and 3, whilst Rosalita, named after a singer maybe, can be aged somewhere between 0 and 1. My dad and I were simply there on a weekly visit, helping out where we could. The day passed without any major incident which I, and probably only I, put down to myself. We spent the morning at the park before having lunch at Coffee Tots . On returning home we attempted to play Elefun Snackin' Safari: The Silly ...
