Banditry: The idle musings of John B

• I backed a horse that came in at ten to one. unfortunately it was running in the 1130 #oldjokesfornogoodreason #
• (yes, I know that slating alcohol marketing isn't normally how I roll, but the JW ad was fucking egregious) #
• Sometimes I forget ppl like @hematuria and @anattendantlord are many hrs ahead, and briefly assume they're ultra-hardcore workers-n-players #
• I think it's cuz they don't write like N Americans. Although @hematuria clearly has the sidies of a native Nu Yoiker. #
• Pleased that #deviantart is a trending wotsit. Displeased that GI Joe is one. It's called "Action Man", FFS. #
• I love my MacBook Air to the point that I sometimes call her 'her'. But Safari is the worst browser ever; it's even worse than IE #
• Dans le port d'Amsterdam il y a de marins qui qui boivent, et qui boivent et reboivent, et qui reboivent – have it. http://bit.ly/q0WO #
• Been listening to Brel & Walker for an hour; Spotify reckons ad for blood donation is way forward. If I slit wrists you'll be 1st to know… #
• Enough mid-20th-century dramatic lyrical music. Bedtime. G'night, world o'Twitter #
• Why do we waste money on treating shoplifting as a criminal offence, given that there are no social benefits to deterring it? #
• Far better to force stores to pursue individuals for civil damages… #
• Relatedly, crown prosecutor Martin Lindop should be hanged: http://bit.ly/4c0kSe #
• have baled on clubbing in favour of cocktails and movies. yay the wisdom of age #
• Happy, for once. W00t! #
• It's Jo And Danny are one of the most wonderful bands ever #
• Sadly they appear not to be on Spotify, so you'll have to take my word for it. Or pay them real money for a real album: http://bit.ly/a6uID #
• I love Manda Rin: http://bit.ly/XyQ2m #
• Is it objectification to point out how hot I find @pennyred's sulky CiF profile pic http://bit.ly/8S0cB ? Fairly sure it is. Sorry, feminism #
• If I were Clarkson, the last comment could be taken as sheer tossery, rather than self-parody as sleazy-but-feminist man. Am not Clarkson #
• Dozens of Helen Love tracks on Spotify. Hell yeah! It's 1996 in my head for the next 40 mins. #
• "I'm having sedation since Kula Shaker came along". Understandably. #
• (was delighted to see KS on My Super Sweet 16 UK, playing at a spoilt rich girl's birthday party. Oh, how the not-very-mighty are fallen) #
• Quality sarcastic HL reference to Swells (sniff): http://bit.ly/v4pfB – also, err? http://bit.ly/6uLoM #
• …and finally. There will never be a song better than this: http://bit.ly/DODsD (spent the advance on a pinball table) #
• Captivated by Welshness, I failed. This is better. Not in a morbid way, but this is my funeral tune: http://bit.ly/1ajaqY #
• Grumpy I can only find LastFM link: not on Spotify and Youtube version awful. OTOH, that's like being upset my rocket car only does 1000mph #
• To compensate for @charltonbrooker's evil bedtime story, here's a sweet one: http://bit.ly/4jd1CT #
• This is a bit pathetic: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8192013.stm – then again, badminton's hardly a super-macho sport #
• If this was a gang fight, rather than racist bullying, it'd be T3H @wsuMZ #
• this is link: http://bit.ly/2LOn3J #

Someone’s built a website that translates phrases repeatedly into Japanese and back until the phrase stays the same in both languages. So, for a Crazy Friday Competition, I fed in a bunch of lyrics – pretty much all indie/rock stuff from the 1960s through to the 2000s, if that helps – and you have to work out the original, the song and the artist.

Whoever gets the most wins a Babylon Zoo album; whoever gets the second-most wins two Babylon Zoo albums. I’ll post the right answers on Sunday. Post your answers in the comments, along with sarcastic jibes about how the blog has gone downhill.

1) Do you love to love you?
2) At the foot of the toy, he is like a mixture of stuttering children
3) World, died at the western end of the city
4) I turn off the hazard lamps.
5) Also, all girls, to take gold
6) If the nitric acid, he knows the hearts of animals
7) Above, some other girl
8) In this case, if you have difficulty walking
9) Honey, get a lock to lock, it will take time
10) We need to maintain the greenery of the village community
11) I love his shows
12) Line of credit for the toes
13) This is a special fashion show is the result of his recent research on her head
14) Courage, hard core, a little fun
15) How many people, I can see the sense of shame

If anyone gets number 11, I’ll be so in awe that I’ll do pretty much anything they ask of me. If anyone doesn’t get number 10, then the opposite (but I like the way it sounds, very Japanised…)

• 'Compare seu QI' is a current trending topic. OK then: slightly enriched uranium is less good than @stephenfry's quiz show #
• RT @Herring1967 I have been overwhelmed with messages of support and commiseration and am ending the day feeling a bit sorry for Brian Logan #
• Maybe my LC piece (live tomorrow AM, waiting-for-not-very-exciting-things fans) on Carr-esque fools versus Hicks-esque Fools was overkill #
• …although I now wish I'd used the fools vs Fools distinction #
• The @charltonbrooker show tonight was remarkable, in that everything reviewed sounded like a slightly-too-implausible reject from TVGoHome #
• 'Best ever TV' poll. Top Gear winning massively, The Wire second. VOTE FOR THE WIRE: http://d2q8l.tk/ please RT #
• Foolish Dr Who fans. By not voting for The Wire, you are letting Jeremy's evil hordes take over the world. That is not what the Dr would do #
• And so to bed, sober. I literally don't remember the last time I went to bed completely sober on a Friday. #
• Alcohol is fun in moderate, and occasionally large, quantities, as long as you don't get addicted #Idvoteforapoliticianwhostatedthistruth #
• Most 'health & safety' restrictions are actually spurious nonsense made up by lazy middle managers #Idvoteforapoliticianwhostatedthistruth #
• Spending decisions shouldn't be democratic as most voters don't understand stats or economics #Idvoteforapoliticianwhostatedthistruth #
• Backstreet gin-shops FTW http://bit.ly/DV1ev #backtothe1760s #
• Just had a Mark Corrigan moment watching American reality TV: "humanity is awful <switch channel> aah, Delia…" #
• Sober Saturday night more dealable with; I've had lots of those. Happy birthdayery @beatniksalad, sorry I can't be there #
• Unrelatedly, Almost Famous and In The Loop are both excellent films. Can't believe it took me nine years to get around to watching AF… #
• Then again, it's only in the last 12 months that I've seen the Blues Brothers and Ferris Bueller all the way through #

What d’you reckon? It’s not quite minimalist enough for my tastes just yet, but I like the way it does all the groovy Web 2.0 stuff, only two years late. I think the text box needs to be narrower and the borders wider… any other suggestions?

OK, so my new entries on this blog are showing up in Google Reader with the correct titles, but with the following body text:

…which is Bad, and implies Evil People have hacked the site. But I’ve checked all three feeds (I’m using the one at /feed, RSS fans), and all the files are clean.

So:
a) is anyone else seeing the spammy nonsense?
b) what the hell is going on?

Update: thanks Unity. I’ve temporarily solved things (although I haven’t done the detailed clear-out of database tables that’s also required, gulp. TOMORROW). Whilst doing so I’ve accidentally deleted the main theme. I could restore it, but it wasn’t widget-compatible anyway and at least now I’ve got a project for my non-drinking, constructive weekend….

• Noting the correlation between ‘people who make noise complaints’ and ‘miserable bastards who’re jealous that other people get to have fun’. #
• It’s one-to-one in my book. #
• I’ve never made a noise complaint. It’s only noise, FFS: sleep through it, or kill yourself if you’re too pathetic to manage that #
