			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just spent the last hour updating the site to the new version of WordPress.  This is not something that should be taken lightly at 3am!   It looks like it&#8217;s worked apart from that <strong>links</strong> bit acting funny over there.  Hopefully I&#8217;ll manage to sort that out soon (<em>or if of course you&#8217;d like to tell me exactly how to change this then please do!</em>).  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to play around with this new install for a while then think about upgrading Mailwatch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr /><strong>Is it here?</strong></p>
<p>The sun is shining for the third day in a row, it was 30c in places yesterday. Dare we say summer is here?</p>
<p>I used to hate the sun, I hated going out in the sun at all. I would never wear short sleeves or shorts, that all changed after spending 2 weeks in the Canaries last year.  It was always too hot to wear sleeves and trousers.  I finally got some colour in me.</p>
<p>These days I&#8217;m loving it, the sun soaking on your skin just makes you feel great, makes you feel alive or something.  I&#8217;m not a sunbather and never will be, that&#8217;s just stupid and fucking boring. But if someone said &#8220;hey merk, wanna come out and sit in the sun&#8221; &#8211; I&#8217;d jump at the chance.</p>
<p>Welcome home summer, come on in and make yourself comfy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr /><strong>The Simpsons vs. Murdoch</strong></p>
<p>This programme never ceases to amaze me, after 15 years it&#8217;s still cracking me up time and time again.</p>
<p>Tonight I watched Series 15 Episode 22 &#8211; &#8220;Fraudcast News&#8221;.  I&#8217;ve lifted the programme description from <a href="http://www.thesimpsons.com/episode_guide/1522.htm">their site</a>;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>When Mr. Burns is reported dead incorrectly, all of the newspapers and news stations decide to report what they really think of him. In order to end the negative view the public has of him, Mr. Burns buys all of media outlets to brainwash the people of Springfield. </em></p></blockquote>
<p>  Lisa then starts up her newspaper, Burns tries to shut it down, blah blah blah.  A good episode, not the best I&#8217;ve seen but then this happened. I&#8217;ve taken the liberty of chopping it up and uploading it on the web.  This of course, means I&#8217;ll probably get sued by Fox, but frankly it&#8217;s far too great not to share.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bigdaddymerk.co.uk/simp.WMV">Windows media video &#8211; about 400kb</a></p>
<p>or</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bigdaddymerk.co.uk/simp.mpg">uncompressed &#8211; about 4Mb</a></p>
<p>I love how they manage to get away with stuff like this too.  In the same episode we have Groundskeeper Willie saying SHITE and a bloke jumping off a cliff shouting &#8220;Why did they cancel Futurama?&#8221;.</p>
<p>See&#8230;Some American&#8217;s are good!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr />As part of West Bromwich&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thepublic.com/weekend/programme.asp">weekend  break</a>&nbsp;, Blast Theory are running <a href="http://www.uncleroyallaroundyou.co.uk">uncle Roy All Around You</a>.&nbsp; It&#8217;s difficult to  describe so I&#8217;ve lifted the description from their site;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Street players use handheld computers to search for Uncle Roy. They use  the map and incoming messages to move through the streets to find a secret  destination. Online players cruise through the virtual city, listen in to the  street players and assist them to find the office. As you play, you are  introduced to a new interactive landscape in which you are less passive than you  think: would you put your trust in a stranger?</em></p></blockquote>
<p>You can also play online, check the webcams and see loads of mad people  running round with PDA&#8217;s &#8211; take a look and why not play, I&#8217;ll be playing online  today.&nbsp; Midday onwards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr /><strong>MCCARTNEY SAYS IRAQ IS BECOMING A NEW VIETNAM</strong></p>
<p>Mr Macca has been getting a bit political in<br />an interview with Spanish magazine Elmundo. He told the magazine that he<br />thought Britain and Spain were right to support the US in their &#8216;war against<br />terrorism&#8217; and that the bid to restore democracy and remove weapons of mass<br />destruction from Iraq was an admirable mission. But he said coalition forces<br />now face a &#8220;new Vietnam&#8221; and should start to consider ending their<br />involvement in the country: &#8220;The situation is going from bad to worse. We<br />are faced with a new Vietnam&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>Lifted from CMU Daily Update</em></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll expect an anti-war single then eh Macca?  I just hope George and Tony don&#8217;t sing one of your songs back to you.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Win Or Lose, Sink Or Swim<br />One Thing Is Certain We&#8217;ll Never Give In<br />Side By Side, Hand In Hand<br />We All Stand Together&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Stav told me Wilo the Wisp is coming back to our screens.  I loved this when I was a kid.  I&#8217;ve just been to the official website to take a look and who should greet me but the one and only Evil Edna, only it there was something wrong.  Something didn&#8217;t seem right.  I couldn&#8217;t put my finger on it at first but then it hit me.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.bigdaddymerk.co.uk/ednas.gif" border="1" alt="the old, real Evil Edna" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;ve turned Evil Edna from an old clapped out Telly to a brand new all singing, all dancing Sony widescreen complete with Digi-Box &#8211; This is a travesty.  I&#8217;m gonna write and complain!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr /><strong>Another one bites the dust</strong></p>
<p>weekends, where do they go?  Last time I checked it was Friday afternoon now it&#8217;s half 11 on Sunday &#8211; the meat is in the oven.  My Bro and me ma have gone to some celebrity football thing and I&#8217;m chilling out listening to some cracking tunes.</p>
<p>Went to the Crown last night with Stav, Fulla and Austin.  Made a great &#8216;Crown compilation&#8217; 74 minutes of shit hot music &#8211; and some Goldie Lookin&#8217; Chain!  They&#8217;ve finally put Amstel on tap at the Crown and it&#8217;s spot on.  Not a headache in sight!</p>
<p>Me, Stav and Fulla ended up in Brileighs again. I&#8217;m really liking that place.  Mainly full of ropey old birds but that makes the occasional fit one one look like a goddess!</p>
<p><strong>LOSER</strong><br />The best bit about last night?   Beating Stavros at pool.  I never beat him at pool but last night I pulled some fucking ace shots out of my ass!  <br />
<blockquote><img src="http://www.bigdaddymerk.co.uk/tablepool.jpg" border="1"/ alt="Said table, where shot's where pulled out of my ass"></p></blockquote>
<p>I urge you to get over to <a href="http://stavros.blogspot.com">Blog Of Stavros</a> and give him some shit for loosing to his little brother!</p>

While I have a lot of compassion for the Fathers 4 Justice group I can&#8217;t help but think this stunt has done more for Tony <em>&#8216;la la la la I&#8217;m not listening&#8217;</em> Blair&#8217;s crusade to move further away from the public thus erecting a protest barrier wherever he goes.  I wonder if he has one at home for when the kids are angry at him for taking their booze away. Who knows?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<hr /><em>Friday</em><br />So it was that time of year again where I head up to Sheffield for the festival of community media and all that jazz.  I&#8217;ve got a mate who lives up there so I go up and make a weekend of it.  I was going to try and do some email updates while I there but to be fair I was either in conference or drunk!  So I managed to get up there in no time at all, one of those posh Virgin trains, I think they even have Wi-Fi on them now (note to self: by a laptop for viewing of porn on long journeys!).</p>
<p>So in 90 mins I&#8217;m in South Yorkshire.  I register for the festival and head on to the pub to meet Brendon, to cut a long story short we had far too much to drink and ended up in some club full of bass and breaks, not my bag.  So I left.  There&#8217;s a thing about Sheffield, every half decent brid wears the shortest skirt regardless of the weather &#8211; it&#8217;s fucking ace.  I&#8217;m a proper legs man so I&#8217;m in my element up there.</p>
<p><em>Saturday</em><br />The conference was good and I managed to get there on time and stay awake all day!   Come 5pm I was absolutely shattered and decided the best thing to do would be to make a move home.  I don&#8217;t think I could have handled another night out on the lash at this point.</p>
<p>I got the train at 10 past 8, had to change at Stockport and then get the Virgin Voyager back to Wolverhampton.  Birmingham City had played Blackburn yesterday so the train was fully of jolly brummies.  Normally I hate Birmingham City and their fans, but It sure was entertaining watching all these pissed footy fans having a great time singing and dancing down the isle!</p>
<p>At wolverhampton (about 10:20pm) I saw more legs!  Some bloke who was obviously twatted shouting at people and himself!  I also saw some woman who had had been in London to march against Israeli occupation of Palestine.  She said shed left Shrewsbury at 5:45am that morning &#8211; fair play to her.</p>
<p>By the time I got to my station it was 11pm. I managed to get me dear old mum to pick me up from the station, via the garage, which was nice.</p>
<p><em>Sunday</em><br />I slept, got up, had some lunch, slept again and sat outside drinking 7UP &#8211; fucking ace.</p>
