a is for fabled alphabet

all you avid readers of ianbyfordart.blogspot.com will no the arrival of December means the start of blogmas my annual festival identical to Christmas in every way a part from spelling and pronunciation and i celebrate this by bloging daily until blogmas day and this year I'm going to be posting daily here as well as on my art blog.
my blog post here will be themed alphabetically. I'm not 100% shore what am going write about yet i have made some notes but still have a lot of gaps but just as a teaser  i can tell you i will be talking about chimneys and pavements (i bet you have never been this excited)
and mugs a-z are all in my shop now

fabled letterbox

do you get to much junk mail flooding through your letterbox do you get pestered by door to door salesmen who swear they are not trying selling anything
well you will be glad to hear i have come up with a solution that may stop this irritating you ever again
if someone want use my blogs to advertise they pay to do so.
well thats your door there using to advertise why should they use it for free?
so i suggest you put up a price list

£10 pre leaflet/flyer
£10/min for  doorstep sales pitch
(even if you clam your not selling anything)

now I'm not a big city lawyer and have no legal training but it is my expert opinion that if someone stick a pizza leaflet through your letterbox you can phone the number on the leaflet and demand payment
(ps I'm not an expert)

fabled time travel

if your a fan of dr who you will know that some points in time are fixed and can't be changed but apparently the time dr who starts is not one of them. way can't the bbc just pick a time slot  and show it at the same time every week instead of starting at 7.15 one week and 7.05 the next. the bbc must see the logic in keeping the same time slot because they do it with all there major shows monday to friday so why does this not extend to the weekend! this is not a new problem the bbc have had an oddly shifting saturday schedule of some time but to make things that bit more irritating they have stopped telling you at the end of the program what time it's on the next week.
now i know i can buy a tv guide or check the times on line and if i miss it there is the i-player but the question is if the bbc can make there schedule more consistent (and i can't see a reason why they can't) why wouldn't they?
at this point i will say this would probably of irritated me less if dr who wasn't proceeded by shows where the last 5-15 minutes your accidently watching is 90% dramatic pauses.

if i had: dress up box

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

Oscar Wilde

the "if i had" i had planned is taking a bit too long so I'm putting it of to a later date and as i was try to come up with a idea for a quick to put together the movie i was watching  on youtube quoted the quote i just quoted this on top of the fact i have just been to a very strange gig and had a conversation with my brother about making helmets (stormtrooper & daft punk)

i have just watched the first two episodes of Wilfred staring Elijah Wood Jason Gann but i can't help thinking i should of been watching Wilfred starring Jason Gann, Adam Zwar and Cindy Waddingham
previously i posted that 

"although English is the primary language of numerous country we import TV programs from very few of them.We have an overwhelming amount of programs from the us two  soap operas from Australia but I can’t think of any programs from Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guam, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nauru, New Zealand, Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Singapore, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, the Turks and Caicos Islands currently on our box"

since then we have had Angry Boys air on BBC 3 but i don't know why they are now sowing the us version of wilfred and not the Australian original . i never really understood  why it is we let the yanks remake shows, (it's money isn't it) are us audiences confused by the existents of other countrys will there brains not except an englishmen not waring a hat (bowler or top) or a Australian without corks hanging off his. i am shore most Americans are not that thick but there TV executives clearly find it hard to believe.
and if I'm in the UK watching Wilfred USA is Australia  watching Life on Mars USA or Shameless USA . I really hope not

well I'm  off to make a British version of How I Met Your Mother staring Simon Amstell as Ted, Emma Watson as Lily, Simon Bird as Marshall, Olga Fedori as Robin, Stephen Fry as Barney and narrated by Brian Blessed

fabled advertisement

as you may know from earlier posts I'm always trying to scrape a bit more money out of my life one of the things i had avoided doing was sponsored tweets i though what the hell and gave it a go and so far my followers are still following and i have made $0.14 which sadly is better than i get from the ads on my blogs so now I'm getting asking  for your opinion on sponsored tweets.
I'm still not shore i like sponsored tweets and if my income was more stable they would be the first to go (assuming it's not sponsored tweets doing the stabilizing) but if they were hated I'd have no followers and would not have made a whopping $0.14
please leave your opinion of sponsored tweets in the comments
