John Cooper Clarke
"David Hepworth, isn't it?"
or
The paps think they've caught Ronnie Wood cheating again
"Have you removed the lens cap?"
"Don't want to get dust in anything."
John Cooper Clarke
"I've never seen one of those in the Daily Express"
Evidently
not spring chickentown.
"Ronnie Wood gets flashed by the paps again"
(BTW that looks suspiciously like someone with Seventies Mike's hairdo taking the photo)
John Cooper Clarke thinks:
"That Mary Hopkin's let herself go..."
'Ave pulled
'ang on ah'll get me co-at.
"Er....
... it's not exactly what I was expecting when you said 'nude photos'."
Cheeese!
or Cheeeese?
another example of a dodgy remake
In 1966 Blow Up is a classic . 2010 remake is just a mistake .
Although progress on The Word movie was encouraging...
...the screen tests for the parts of Ellen and Mossman were proving frustrating.
JCC" well, the poetry is a bit patchy...
... so I 'oping me Linda Robson vent act will be a winner"
alternatively: *opens old chestnut chest*
Photographer "stand abck i don't know how big this is going to get"
Umm...
Bloke with camera: "OK John, one more, then I really must have my clothes back."
"I feel a right tit"
.
Well.
...If you press all the right buttons I can make it three times bigger...
"I had to...
...swap everything I had on me for the camera. Everything."
Word:
A magazine. A podcast. A nude man.
Did it flash?
.
These bloody iPhone 4 things...
Not only can I not get a signal, but I can never remember which side the lens is on...
Caption:
Excuse me, Madam
but where is the house of... oh! Cheese!
Now
"Now I know why they call them The Massive..."
(Please donate my winnings on the favourite at the 3.30 at Kempton tomorrow).
That's
the one
As Kempton isn't on tomorrow
May I recommend Balthazaars Gift in the15:25 at Goodwood at 8/1
It's not?
Yep, that'll do. BTW, I am sure I saw Balthazaars Gift supporting King Crimson at the Glasgow Apollo, circa 1971....
You probably stood in front of me!!
But 1971 wasn't it still Green's Playhouse?
Yep
It surely was. Being a Hick From The Sticks, it was a wonderful place... the crowds, and the balcony (!)...remember the balcony?, swayed to the sounds of Yes, King Crimson, Groundhogs, The Who, Roxy Music, Mott and many more...happy days.
When Linda agreed to have
When Linda agreed to have some "nudie pictures" taken at the free love festival she'd been imagining something rather different...
Errr...
JCC to lady: "Groupies are a bit thin on the ground these days, I'm afraid, but one can train them to do so much more than one used to."
Dirty Girl
No love, you can't borrow my shades and have a sneaky look at his old man.
"That's not quite what I meant...
... when I said we needed a tripod for the camera"
Actually
i'm known as The BARD of Salford but you are close enough.
'OK now,
exposure, flash, stay calm, hold it steady, aperture and, squeeze it firmly, and Zoom, stay calm, Zooom, ZOOOOOOM, I'M PIXELLATING!! What's she grinning at? Oh no, my aperture's wide open........'.
Lets go Old-School Punch..
Mr Cooper-Clark, in a state of not inconsiderable discombobulation at the sight of a naked man holding a camera and wishing to spare the blushes of the lady at his elbow whilst still not wanting to attract attention to the incognito photographer.. (several paragraphs deleted here) .. yet still mindful of the lack of antimacassars whilst anticipating the aspidestra's wilting: "No, sir, it's just the way I'm standing"
Taking that cue
"so this is the famous Aspidistra hatstand"
Is JCC saying:
'Wrong tent, cocker. Uncut is next but one on the right.'
Would you like...
...an enlargement?
I'll chuck in...
...JCC "Shake it like a polaroid picture!"
The Dylan/Baez lookalike contest...
...gets worse every year.
tee hee that's next door!
"and tonight Matthew I'm Joni Mitchell surely!! :)
"No, no,
I asked if you own a Nudie suit!"
JCC...
"as keen amateur photographer myself I notice you've chosen to shoot as we say "RAW" "
"He left his heart in 'Frisco
He left his room in a mess
He left his shirt at the disco
He never left an address"
Word mag editor thinks aloud at brainstorming meeting......
...."these caricatures for the front cover are costing us a fortune: Loudon Wainwright III doesn't have a beard anymore: ...so, how about getting a photo of one of The Stones and a girl, with no clothes on?"
You see that?
Thats the colour I want to paint the kids room
JCC:
" I wondered where I was going to hang me goodybag"
"Yer right,
I 'adn't realised it were that cold this time 't day"
Sorry I'm late ...
"Get the exposure right and sometimes a little Canon is all you need"
Or ...
"Heavily disguised, Patrick Crowther infiltrates the backstage area and finally gets to use his 'Leica flash' gag"
Or ...
"Even from this distance she could tell that the photographer was having trouble with red eye"
Or ...
"I'm confused ... which of you is Mr Wood?"
Or ...
"Word photographer favours external flash setting"
OK I'll stop now.
