  1. How to get famous

    June 7, 2011 by dave

    Here is my online guide on “How to get famous” and “becoming famous”

    First things first:

    1. Change your name to something more unique, so if you are a John Smith you may want to call yourself Jonas Smithers or something stupid that will make people ask questions or remember you better than just another “John Smith”. Once you have done this you need to update your whole phone book and tell the world that you have recently changed your name. This may cause a little suspicion but trust me it will come in handy later down the line, possibly!!

    2. Marry a celebrity. Even more stupid than the first one but it really does work. My suggestion would be this, if you have the balls then this method could be a good way of becoming famous.

    Start hanging around in areas where you may find a “celeb”, I am not talking Katie Price here as she just ain’t a true celeb, she just happened to sleep with the right people had a boob job and thanks to the likes of the Sun and Sunday Sport just happened to make it big, pure PURE luck that was and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyway, back to the point you need to find a celebrity to make sweet love to and finally marry, thus making you famous overnight.

    Possible side effects: If you split your life will end instantly and you will become subject to bull shit news stories and prob become part of an online hate campaign. So, if you think this may happen make sure you always have a back up. In this case lets say the back up you need is a video of your celeb partner snorting cocaine or kissing her sister. Even better, YOUR sex tape, what have you got to lose? This works wonders as you already know, just remember though if you are not very “large” in a certain department it WILL back fire on you and the only fool will be you. Do NOT become another YouTube hit!

    Still looking for an answer on how to get famous? Read on my buddies………………

    3. Go on Britain’s Got Talent – pretend to be something you are not and blag yourself onto the TV. Remember to leave your mark so that the audience remember you or even the editor thought you were that funny he makes sure that your in the commercials. For no reason should you do anything stupid like taking a shit on stage, that does not wash, literally it just wont! There is bad fame and good fame, which would you prefer?

    4. Stalk a star – Simples, follow them on Twitter, add them to Facebook and then stalk them in the street. Just do not physically touch them and you will be fine. As soon as you get found out your name will be in the newspaper. Instant famous status!! (Again, NOT exactly the right kind of fame but who knows)

    5. Just Get Famous –  Let’s be honest, all of the above might just get you into trouble, quite possibly! However if you do fancy your chances then crack on flower. If not I would suggest you do things properly and figure how what you want to become famous for and just get on with it. There are a million and one things that you can become famous for, you just gotta find it within yourself. Myself, I would love to get famous for my unique approach to internet marketing and maybe one day sit at a table having lunch with Peter Jones or Richard Branson ( my shout of course). The chances of that happening are rather slim, in fact I doubt it will ever happen but at 27 years young I still have lots and lots of time :-)

    And that my little followers, is all I have time for today!

    Was there a point to this blog post? Is there ever?

  2. Facebook Liking

    June 7, 2011 by dave

    Following years of using the dreaded facebook and being totally sucked into the whole social media circle and have recently been experimenting with their new features. These features include things like page likes, group messaging and places, something that has been rolled out over the past few years but only just started to be used correctly.

    I or should I say we use facebook on a daily basis for marketing purposes as well as staying in touch with the odd friend. Marvellous tool is this old facebook thing, despite the acres and acres of pure shit it does actually work for some.

    Anyway, enough of my random talk and a link to the only reason I took two minutes to write a pretty pointless blog post is to give you a link to this random news blog from a company called Dijitul, check it out….

    Sorry, my bad, I forgot to tell you what to click on >>> Try the word thats in BOLD ;-)

  3. The Circus is coming to Santa Pod!

    June 7, 2011 by dave

    The Gasser Circus was launched in 2003 with a gathering of 8 Gasser style, street driven and race only cars debuted at the NSRA Nostalgia Drags at Shakespeare County Raceway. The class was an instant hit and from that point forward the Gasser Circus has grown in popularity and although competitors and cars have come and gone in the intervening period, the group of racers dedicated to campaigning cars which resemble and pay tribute to the early era of drag racing continues to grow. So much so that following 16 Gassers turning up to run at the NSRA Hot Rod Drags in 2010, the decision was taken to expand the Gasser Circus to a 4 round National Championship in 2011 and they even picked up sponsorship from the National Street Rod Association. The introduction of the new Dragstalgia event on the 16th/17th July provided the perfect opportunity for Santa Pod Raceway to invite this ever popular class to host a round of the championship. With the event being a celebration of the early days of Drag Racing at Santa Pod, Dragstalgia and the Gasser Circus is a match made in heaven so we are hoping for another fantastic double figure turnout from these classic machines.

    Santa Pod Circus

    The entries from other classes is not looking too shabby neither and we expect approximately 7 Fuel Altereds, over 15 Wild Bunch Cars, over 10 Supercharged Outlaws and a healthy entry from the Outlaw Anglias and Outlaw Street Series. Of course this is on top of the newly introduced Top Sportsman Class which will be running for the first time at Dragstalgia and the wide variety of vehicles that will be running as a part of the Historic Vehicle Sessions and RWYB. We have recently released the RWYB sign on tickets so you can even pay in advance to secure your track time at this Nostalgic weekend.

    There will be a shootout from the Brighton and Hove Motor Club who are primarily a Sprint Racing organisation. Many Drag Racers from the early days originated from Sprint Racing and one member in particular, Jim Tiller still races in both sports. Jim who is also a member of the Allard owners club will be racing at Dragstalgia in his awesome Allard J2X will be looking to set his fastest quarter mile time yet. Currently his best time is 9.8 seconds so you can be sure that Jim will not be hanging around. One of Jim’s crewmen also helped to put together the original Allard Chrysler Dragster, the first purpose built Dragster in the UK, a machine that will also be on display at the event.

    In addition to this already stunning line up of on track action will be Ronnie Picardo in his Historic Wheelie Stingray, Martin Hill in the FireForce 3 Jet Car and Julian Webb in the Split Second Jet Dragster.

    The line up of evening entertainment has now began to take shape and we have some fantastic acts lined up for you. As well as a collection of scantily clad burlesque dancers, we also have the awesome 3 piece Rockabilly group The Cheaterslicks playing alongside The Humdingers who will be Putting their slant on old rock and roll and country classics.

    Elsewhere on site will be a BBMF Flypast with a WWII Spitfire, the Historic F1 Stock Car club doing demo races around an oval track, Show n Shine competition, Live Evening Entertainment and even a Cacklefest and Flaming Burnout display. Day tickets start from just £14 and weekend tickets from just £25, and if you want to bring the little ones along, kids under 16 are free too giving you the ideal opportunity to show them a real history lesson!

  4. Mansfield BID – Win or Fail?

    March 21, 2011 by dave

    Mansfield (the town that I am still stuck in) has recently been approved for a BID. For those who don’t know BID stands for Business Improvement District. These BID’s have been established in other counties and towns across the country and have in some instances actually worked.

    Mansfield has been falling behind for quite some time now, both for residential and business not to mention the un-employment rate has rocketed to an all time high. The Mansfield BID has collected additional rates from over 400 local businesses who fall within the BID area in order to raise enough capital to invest into the town centre.

    The Mansfield BID was given the go ahead back in 2010, causing an uproar across a number of businesses who were either left out of the vote or not informed properly. I myself would have voted against this as I personally think that it is totally pointless and will be more wasted money.

    So, what has Mansfield BID done so far?

    Well, walking through town you can see exactly what has been spent so far:

    1. Promotional Clothing
    2. Printed Media (flyers, letterheads etc, promo newsletters) – some of which could have been done electronically and saved a fortune!
    3. Employment of Town Centre Rangers (ones that appear to have previously been on the council’s books but are now paid by the BID) – So, we are paying for something the Council should do anyway as part of the rates we already pay?
    4. Contributed towards the Christmas lights WITHOUT asking the businesses? So, who paid last year and why did the BID need to contribute?
    5. The design and print of £7000.00 worth of shop front vinyl’s to cover up the empty shop windows although I am not sure if they paid for the full bill but rumour has it that they did make a contribution.

    Can we see any other changes? Well, we have public toilets that have been paid for by the council apparently but it would not surprise me if they were not part-funded by the Mansfield BID also.

    Despite the various plans of the Mansfield BID I shall be watching very closely to see just how much comes to life or if its just been another way of obtaining funding and distributing it through the normal business channels? I will say no more……

  5. Wiley From The Drop Lyrics

    November 2, 2010 by dave

    Here are the lyrics to “From The Drop” by MJ Cole and Wiley

    Most of them wait for the drop, not me im in straight from the top

    Wiley n MJ Cole, dem names em gonna ring dem bells from the off.

    I don’t need syrup, I aint got a cough

    Wanna box, got eight in the loft, I should be on the TV much more

    I know I got a face whats what, listen!

    Its a must to elevate and take that shot, If I score then i’m gonna be at the top spot.

    My flow, top notch, my lyrics, top notch,

    Might see me and I aint gotta watch, and I don’t fear no man I aint got a watch,

    watch what, test who

    I aint part of a bullet proof vest crew,

    Cos I walk with god, die when my times up, single file everybody, line up

    Turn a new page, get righteous

    im givin out zip files out like a virus

    I wanna thank dem fans, dat knew I had very good plans

    Had tons of music, album ready but the label they didn’t understand.

    and then another label gave me control, I played it like a game in a console

    I’m talented, how could you not know, I got a super kryptonite flow.

    But back to the bars that I want to hear playin in the back of the car

    They already know that’s not for the chart, but its what I done back at the start

    And I still flow smart, heavyweight moments weighin up

    Take the cheap shot, stop playin up!

    That’s what kids do, but you got the whole scene here with you

    I’m at the front of the army, your a pig in the game, Salami

    These people try to argue with me all the time, don’t send me barmy!

    From, no ends called ya barmy, can’t make ya bread like a sarnie!

    cos I’m out in the club with the gal, dem!

    Go straight to the zoot or the bamboo club in ma new garms and Armani.

    I’m a cool guy R1, R6 wont see man wingin on a Harley!

    but you will see man in trenchtown, visit the yard of Bob Marley.

    Old Volkswagen, all empty, tell them the father god sent me!

    I went from a Uno to a Bentley, I’m a hustler haters resent me

    I tell the sound boy please don’t tempt me, your lyrical mind is empty!

    Youve got a problem, your opinion, might be a hater check all the symptoms

    If i’m getting better in the game, dem man a slackin why the hell should I bring dem

    its my kingdom, what are you thinkin?

    Linked a lot a girls ,so, that’s what i’m thinkin

    Run up on the stage drop one hook wheres my brother, get a reload, that’s what i’m thinkin!

    I’m the in ting ask anyone who is, in tune to the music, a do!

    Give me a distinction I’ll raise the level up, I believe even if you don’t wannoo

    I move ghosts like hollow and dimples,

    Keeping it plain an simple, for the urban scene I’m a symbol, proof you can do it, money, jingle!

    Paper chasin, in a car racin, wanna dem big boy sets with the bass in,

    in the meeting bring the briefcase in, full of doh like puffy and mase

    In a little while back when bad boy ruled thirty one years I’ve already been schooled

    I didn’t wanna end up in beef but my names already been called!

    I’m the one who’s laughin, some days I don’t eat nothin, fastin!

    My A List teams going to last in the game the same as Roll Deep, chartin!

    My mentor, I flew past him, cos he didn’t wanna live like a martian

    now I bet he wishes that he was here right now with the team, laughin!

    These lyrics were figured out by Dave & Ste (hopefully we got most of them spot on!)

  6. VW Camper Van for a cheaper holiday but better experience.

    July 26, 2010 by dave

    Everybody loves a good holiday but they can be so expensive and can sometimes get a bit boring after to long. For example if you go on a holiday to Spain for two weeks, no matter how beautiful the scenery or how amazing the beach is you are stuck living in the same hotel for that period of time. This can hamper the experience of a holiday especially if you like to travel, after all you cannot test a new location while in a hotel. So what is the best possible alternative to a hotel that is not only cheaper but also enhancers your overall experience. What about a VW Camper Van?

    Lets start by looking at all the pro’s of having a VW camper van instead of a hotel for two weeks. The main pro has to be it is mobile so not only can you enjoy new locations but you can sleep in parts of a country that people may never have slept. You could be enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach one day and the next be up in some mountains watching the sunrise with a loved one while making breakfast in bed. Another pro would be the price, some prices for an average 4 star hotel could be around the £200+ per night price where as a VW camper Van can be as little as £89 per night. With the ability to take your pets with you, change your location, get a sat-nav for that country and not being surrounded by 100′s of holiday goers you can really enjoy your holiday in a new and more personal way.

    What we have to remember is we are in a recession and cannot afford to be wasting money as we used to. So when planning your next holiday it might be a good idea considering how much you would save when choosing what type of accommodation you would like. After all you can live and travel in a secure, comfortable and reliable VW camper van while saving money   and gaining a better experience.

    The VW camper van not only gives you the option to save money and change your holiday but it also gives you some completely new options. One thing the VW camper van offers which no hotel ever could is the ability to travel from country to country. with the VW camper van your holiday could dramatically change from staying in one place all the time. Why not a good driving holiday from England to Africa and back. Visiting all the sites and locations you may never have been before is simple to do and you can do it in luxury as the VW camper van has a beautiful interior which makes travelling, living and sleeping so much more relaxing.
