'ello, you lot.

Very nice to see that the stats for the last series of The Bearcast are quite good!

Episode 7 is the most popular episode to date and as well it should be. We put a lot of effort into that. It's really not that easy getting that drunk, not on our budget! So the donations of booze were gratefully received anyway but... yeah! Thanks, listener types. Get more ear'oles on to it and make us even prouder of you than we are already.

More booze would be nice too. And a pork pie please. Ta.

The third run/series/season of The Bearcast is swimming along all brilliantly still. Episode 3 is fresh from the oven and, like all our stuff, it is the finest work we've ever done. Eey!

Get your ears sewn on, put your feet up, don't hold any hot drinks that could spill from fits of giggle, get some pie based foodstuffs in and enjoy!

It seems to me like the Olympics is having the same effect similar to that of a bunch of teenagers realising that their parents are coming back off holiday today and the house is a wreck.
I'm often walking by scaffolding after scaffolding, site after site of repairs, demolishing, rebuilding, jazzing up, renewing... plentifold extravagance that leaves me confused and still sober. So before I walk through the hallowed doors of my local for a pick-me-up or two I stare at the cranes and the gobbing builders and just shout, "Oi! Nuffing wrong with it. Piss off."
I can't see the point of it all. The air is filled with drills and hammers and swearing and big builders vehicles rumbling and hissing through all the hours and putting me well on edge.

Telly coverage is already picking up and will soon fill our senses with no room left in life for other, more noble pleasures such as shouting at Eastenders or watching The Sweeney and then running round the house pretending to shoot at scumbag crooks before banging your knee and trying not to cry because you're a grown up now and your mum is in another county.

And with the coverage growing, we'll also get to see more of that bloody awful logo. What a bloody mistake that was! Back in 2007 after the unveiling of this gobstrosity, early indications were a little poor:

"We've had a huge reaction to the launch of the new logo - most of it negative."

"Iran could boycott the London Olympics after claiming the Games' 2012 logo is "racist" because it resembles the word "Zion" - a biblical term for Jerusalem."

The benefit of living with a Doctor Who fan and podcaster is that I can secretly indulge in my own little worship of the show. I reckon my secret's safe! Just watched Kinda, 5th Doctor story, which I actually remember from my youth. Due for release on 7th March The Mara Tales is looking mighty fine so far! The Biggest let down of the first tale, Kinda, was the rubbishy puppet snake at the end but... there's a CGI option you can watch that is frankly flippin' excellent. The Mara at the end looked bloody awesome! I had to have a strong cup of coffee and a ciggy to calm myself down. Brilliant!

This makes up for my night at the pub last night. As anyone who has read The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse will know, drinking for our kind is a tricky affair because, as recorded quite accurately in that book, our legs get drunk and trying to stand on your head so the booze reaches it is fraught with peril and threats of being barred. Which is what happened to me. Went to a pub in the city and it was full of suits and estate agents and iPad wielding tossbags. Trying to balance on my head at one point got me a shove which pitched me to the floor and then the swearing kicked in and I broke someone's ankle.

Time... for a bacon sandwich while I wait for my local to open. They love me there.

People often ask me how I'm alive and after I joke about it being a bloody miracle, seeing as I drink most pubs dry of an evening and sleep in a kebab given half the chance, I realise they mean because I'm made of cloth and stuffing and therefore shouldn't technically be moving about being all sentient and that.

I'll let you into a little secret... I don't bloody know!
I eat and drink and that gets turned into stuffing that gets absorbed or pooped out and suchlike and so forth. So I tell people, "I just am."

Right then, I'm off for a cure-all full breakfast and then going to sit in the pub with a newspaper (drawing moustaches and horns on all the pictures and filling in rude words in the crossword puzzle).

Come join me! Buy me a pint and I'll say, "Thanks!"

I think so!

Welcome then to the start of what is already http://lostbearings.com !

I feel all 2.0 and stuff.

You can now also email me directly at jeb@lostbearings.com and I will read them if I’m sober enough!

Eey!

So, how was your day?

I reckon for me I would put "Verified Awesome" as one. I dunno. I am though so at least mine would be accurate!

Going to go out to the café now. We're out of bacon and I'm hungry. If you see an old teddy bear munching on a bacon sarnie in a café any time soon, nip in and say, "You're awesome!"

Ta.

Good cheer, you lot! I'll raise a brew your way and scoff a pie or two in your honour because you know what? You're bloody flippin' great you are.

All the best, you sniffly smashers!

Jeb

Remember when you were young? I do. It was rubbish. Horrible carpets, no computers, limited sandwiches, flares. There was other stuff probably, can't really remember most of it now I've started.There was a point to this... first Amplify post or something similar? I dunno.'ello!

What are you lot doing today? I'm going to be dressing up as a medieval bear and growling at some princesses and maidens and suchlike because it's Medieval Day at the local! No idea what medieval bears look like. I wonder if there's a time machine anywhere I could borrow...

Still. Plenty of ale, buxom ladieeees, sword fights, jousting probably... pie? I hope there's pie.

The things we do to pass the time on Wednesdays when you lot are out at work! Hahaaaa!

TO THE TAVERN!

After stumbling down to the kitchen and helping myself to some bacon and that, I started to wonder if there was some time-traveling experiment about to go wonky somewhere.

I listened for a humming, a build up of temporal power or whatever but I couldn't hear anything. Over the munching of my bacon sandwich.

So just in case I get lobbed through time, is there anything you'd like me to change while I'm back there?
Don't worry about paradoxes, I shit 'em.

There is a takeaway on the way today. Me an’ Terry are hiding out ready to nab it before Marty gets his fat chops on it.

Any plans, weapons, advice welcome.
