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.

By Failing To Google, You're Preparing To Fail

   In this post, I'll be discussing a unique and inspired sitcom idea that I had with my good friend, and South America travel companion, James.    The idea was conceived in the midst of a hellish 43 hour bus ride between Ecuador and Peru. Could we, two middle class fuddy-duddies, born and raised on separate sides of the Watford Gap, compose a piece about the second coming of Christ? Of course we could... The Plot Manchester, 1994* Following the demise of the Madchester scene, Chris Turley and Tony Digest, perennial party people, attempt to go cold turkey. Tony vigorously sticks to his abstinence, terrified of the repercussions of Mary, his girlfriend. Chris, however, struggles and it's not long until he's bouncing off the walls again in The Haçienda . With clarity restored (and coinciding with the much-anticipated release of The Stone Roses  Second Coming album), Tony begins to notice strange and mysterious similarities between Chris's lif...

London Actually

   London has literally been around forever. With a multitude of sights, sounds, smells and tastes, there's something for everyone. In the past month, I myself have begun to scratch the surface on weekends. Come forth and let me share my experiences. Or, if you want to know what it's really like, watch Love Actually .    My first jaunt was to a cinema so secret, it's called Secret Cinema . The date was Sunday 5th March, the film Moulin Rouge . For those unfamiliar with the concept, you while away an evening in a purpose built set, combining live action performances with a screening of the film in question. Nothing's secret really, as the film and location are provided beforehand. Presumably, this is so people aren't left wandering the streets, wondering what they've signed up for.    Photos are strictly forbidden, but I'd describe my venture to late 19th century Montmartre as boozy, magical and slightly embarrassing, when one of the actors tried to make...
