Ok
Did a Jameson whiskey cult film club event in Birmingham. Did the same thing in Manchester in the Autumn, which went so well that they had to do it again. The thing is, the local news team were there to do a bit of filming and interviewed me which was great. Looked on the internet for the regional news programmes for the next two nights and…………………………..nothing. Thought, ” O well. must of ended up on the cutting room floor”. Two days later, my brothers partner who lives near the Midlands had changed her job and to celebrate went to the local Chinese takeaway to order some food. As she walked in there was a TV on with the sound turned down and on that TV was me and the Delorean ! Bearing in mind that we only touch base with each other once a year, What are the chances of that happening !!
Hey
Didn’t realise that paintballing had a professional following. On Saturday, attended a paintball fest with a Back to the Future theme. Boy, those girls and guys are heavily into the wargames. Didn’t realise it was sooooo serious. Talking to an American guy who said that they had re enactments of Omaha beach. Talk about Saving private Ryan. More like saving Brians privates !!
Having the brain the size of a small pea can affect future events with dramatic consequences. Take the pheasant that decided to roll the dice of life by running across a dual carriageway. He narrowly missed the car doing 70mph in the outside lane and continued into the inside lane, severely testing the brakes of the oncoming BTTF Delorean fast approaching. Unfortunately he hesitated in mid stride before going for gold. A fatal error that the pea brain hadn’t factored into the equation. He nearly made it but connected with the front flux band. Now, flux bands are designed to aid the flux dispersal to make time travel possible. As the pheasant was thrown into the hedgerow at 88 mph I wonder if a thought went through that pea sized brain that they also have the power grant an audience with it’s maker !
Wow
Drove the Delorean to Southampton to do a radio interview on all things Delorean and BTTF. Had lots of air time and I have to say, loved every minute. Great to meet Jon Cuthill (a presenter) again and chat about the last time we met with the Delorean. Done my ( now usual) dressing up bit as the good Doctor Brown for a bit of fun. Although we were on the radio, being in character makes the whole thing gel so much better. The crazy thing is that you would think that the radio and TV people would be used to seeing all sorts of things but the Delorean turning up saw them all glued to the windows! To the point where some came down for pictures with the Delorean. The weather girl just couldn’t resist a photo opportunity in the car. I have come to notice that most TV weather girls become pregnant at some point in their “tour of duty”! Is it some sort of prerequisite at the job interview? Are they easy pray for the man behind the camera?? Or is there something else going on. If you know the answer,do tell. It is one of lifes mysteries !!!
“Video killed the radio star.”
Luckily I’m not on video but on the radio from 12 noon till 1 pm on BBC radio Solent. The Alex Dyke show, who fortunately is in to all things weird and wonderful. Which is where I come in !! I honestly don’t think that he realises that me an this ole Timecar are going to blow his mind. Will post to let you know the outcome. Hold on to your hats !!!
Destiny seems to imply that our time on this Earth is somehow mapped out and meant to be. Can we be in control of our own destiny? In my younger years it would have been a catagorical yes. As time passes though I have come to the conclusion that we can control our destiny up to a point. Events and the people we interact with, bring with them factors that are completely out of our control. It affects our lives in a way that means sometimes we are completely out of control. Hey, I’m going to roll with it. Why fight it? It will always come good if you have a positive attitude. And you can have some special moments along the way. The aim is to have no regrets. I’m working on it, so should you !
EEeeek !
In the year 2012 there are so many celebrity TV chefs that we can all watch a different one 365 days a year. Where HAVE they all come from? Do you remember Fanny Craddock and Johnny? Probably not but I can tell you now that she has a lot to answer for !! Now, there is one that happens to be a car nut. He owns Ferrari and can be seen regularly at the Goodwood festival of speed. He happened to be at the Camping and caravan show 2012 at Excel, London………………….Spookily at the same time as the Delorean Time car. And me!……..dressed for the occasion as the good doctor Brown. Couldn’t resist! Strode confidently up to him and invited him for a photo shoot with the Delorean. You should have seen the look on his face as he saw me coming! I did see a rabbit caught in my headlights last week with the same expression!! He agreed and we got some pics, accompanied with a host of swooning females. Top man. Don’t understand the female adoration though. I mean. What’s he got that I havn’t? A Ferrari, good looks, fabulous cook, wealthy………………………………………………………………………………but no Time machine and a wit sharper than the mother in laws tongue. I rest my case…………………………………………………………………….and he’s got man boobs. Not that I’m jealous of him. I would hate all the female attention personally. I mean, what possible satisfaction could he get from all that?……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Lucky bast**d !!!
If you want a real treat then you are going to have to embrace the great outdoors. I know this is truly bizarre for the likes of you and me but Doc Brown and the Time machine will be at the caravan and camping show in London from 14 – 19 February 2012. Hey, we thrive on bizarre!! See you there……………………or be square !!
2012. AAaahh 2012. Is going to be one helluva year. Year on year the Timecar has thown up amazing events and situations and this year promises to be the best ever. I can’t wait for the fun to begin and if you encounter the Timecar and me it’s gonna be an incredible experience. You are absolutely gonna luv it !!!
Happy New Year
Brian
On Wednesday while driving along in the Time machine the engine decided to cut out and there I was stranded on the side of the road. Amazingly the breakdown rescue guy was already there, replaced a part and fixed the Delorean straight away. After being initially dumbfouded I realised what I had to do. Get up tp 88 mph, go back in time, phone the breakdown guy, tell him which part I require, where I will be and at what time. Job done. It does save all the hassle and worry !! No more breakdown blues !!!
