The Fishcast?  Yes, because the fishmonger opposite our house is today auctioning off for charity the largest lobster ever to be fished out of the Firth of Forth, and the fucking thing is ma-hooo-sive!  Honestly, if that little bastard ever got its claws on you I don’t think you’d stand a fucking chance.

Anyhow, yes, I do know that a lobster isn’t a fish, don’t worry, but the Fishcast just had a better ring to it than the Fuckinggreatbiglobstercast, and the word Crustacean didn’t seem to have an obvious way of crunching down into the Somethingcast.  So Fishcast it is, deal with it.

No, I am not, but Avalanche Records is. I pinched this video from the Guardian’s Edinburgh blogger, a position I applied for but was rather hilariously deemed to have insufficient blogging experience.  Still, I’ve had a ton of link love from them since they kicked off with someone more respectable, and I don’t have to cover local council meetings, so it all worked out for the best I’d say.

Anyhow, in the most 21st Century way possible, I am writing this from my iPhone on the train from York to Edinburgh on my way back from In The City in Manchester. This is because, in the most 20th Century way possible, this train doesn’t have fucking WiFi for some unfathomable reason, so I can’t write nice and comfortably on my fucking laptop. Come on, people, get your shit together, if the fucking bus has WiFi now, surely a £70 train journey should have equivalent facilities.

Anyway, an iPhone is far from the easiest device to type out a whole post upon, so I had better cut this short and get straight to my ritual invitation to take this opportunity to de-lurk and leave your first comment because, well, no-one else will be talking any sense anyway, so the pressure’s off really, isn’t it.

1. What was the first poster you ever put on your wall?
2. Describe a print or poster or something like that which reminds you strongly of your folks’ house.
3. What did your Grandma always cook when you were home to visit?
4. Are you the Good Son (or daughter of course), the Bad one or an only one?
5. Odd nostalgic bit about going back to visit your family.
