He froze solid to the spot. That was that then, he thought, back to the drawing board. There was nothing he could do or say now that would make any difference to the outcome. Nowhere to run, no witty comeback. All he could do was stand there and take whatever fate was hurled in his direction. And with that a small, unidentified package hit him on the head.

Hello! My name’s James. I used to do blogs and stuff on this here Fingerspace. Why did I stop? Was it because a bouncer assaulted me for bringing back dreadful Magic Roundabout memories? No it wasn’t. Was it because two ridiculous idiots (Ridicliots!) shaved various parts of my body? Close but no banana. Was it because Ringo Starr and his family are suing me for every nickel they can get their hands on? Possibly. But no, the actual reason, my dear Fingerspacer, is that I’ve just been too gosh darn busy. I’ve had two bloody plays on the go! I’m like…….a guy what done two plays or summink! One of them is The Government Inspector directed by the brilliant Danny Segeth and Cat Hitchens (C-Hitch) and the other is one…I shall mention in a moment. It’s been such fun but very time consuming. Alan and I have even stopped film nights for the time being. That is how bad things have got! But I should be easing off soon so I’ll be back to my usual blogging self. Read the rest of this entry »
This isn’t the kind of thing I really wanted to post as a blog but to be honest I’m ever so slightly outraged. Now before you read this some of you might not know me very well. You may have read things I’ve put on Facebook or Twitter or what have you and know I’m a bit of a wally. Or you just may have been looking up the history of finger spaces on Google and stumbled upon this wonderful site. In which case you won’t know me at all. But I’ll say this, I’m not a violent person. I’m not an aggressive person. In fact violent situations usually make me a bit angry. So with that in mind what happened last night really took me by surprise. I shall start from the beginning….a very good place to start according to Julie Andrews and who am I to argue with Mary bloody Poppins?! Read the rest of this entry »
That quote has done the rounds so many times and is actually taken quite seriously which is absolutely mental. John Lennon is an idiot. Fact! He just used to say things to wind reporters up and amuse himself. He wasn’t being serious when he said that. But that was probably the point where everyone started doubting Ringo’s ability as a drummer. Now, as I start this blog I just want to say, I don’t really have much technical music knowledge. In fact, I’m a bit of a musical thicky. I do however know what I like and Ringo’s drumming is very decent. He’s not a show off drummer but he was consistently good. I don’t think I’ve ever thought “Bloody hell, that sounds a bit rough.” The start of Ticket to Ride. Everyone knows that beat. He just got it. He was never the spectacular, flashy drummer like Keith Moon, Phil Collins etc. but yet he’s probably considered the most famous drummer in the world. So how does that work? It’s unique. But I do get a bit annoyed when people start on saying “Yeah Ringo’s shit, the Beatles could have done just as good without him.” I’m of the opinion that they really wouldn’t have. The Beatles wouldn’t have stayed together for as long as they did without him. Even if people don’t think he’s as good as other drummers with less of a reputation his presence within the band was so valuable. He’s ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous but I love him. And I’m going to take this opportunity to present my ode to Mr Richard Starkey. Read the rest of this entry »
Don’t you find that somedays you wake up and you just can’t, for the life of you, remember where you misplaced your eyebrow? Ay? ….what, that’s never happened to you? Oh…must just be me then. Ridiculous! Hey chums. You know what I was saying in the last blog about the ridiculous things that happen to me on a regular basis? Well…here’s one for ya!
Saturday night I didn’t really plan on drinking that much. I didn’t, honestly! Well…maybe a bit much but not so much that you’d wake up looking like Maggie’s enemy off the Simpsons. But annnywaaay. Read the rest of this entry »
You could be mistaken into thinking this will be interesting…..it probably won’t be if I’m honest. Is that going to stop me? No! Should you carry on reading? Yes. Why? Because it might be good. Well, what if it’s not? Well…it probably will be. But you just said it probably wouldn’t be? Erm…look, who’s asking me these questions? You are? That wasn’t even a question. I know? Stop putting question marks! Make me? BAH?….I mean BAH! BLOGG!!!
Hello friends. I’m writing a blog! This is very exciting. Well…maybe not exciting for you but it is for me. I need a place to rest my ridiculous thoughts. You might even call it a….Fingerplace 
Or…Fingerspace. Yeaah, Fingerspace is better. So yes, I set this site up with my Uncle a year ago but never got round to actually writing anything. Which, let’s face it, is pretty much the entire point of having a blog site. A blog site without writing is like a lazy cat without lasagne. Definitely not Garfield! Not that I’m saying this site is now actually Garfield, that’d be silly…I’m not really sure what I am saying… I’ll just skip to the next paragraph. It looks safer down there.
