It has been brought to my attention that there are some people reading this blog who are under the age of thirty five, so I’ll keep the references to masturbation to an absolute minimum, unless it’s sexy. We don’t want … Continue reading →

They say you can tell if you are a bad person by how much time passed from the towers falling on September 11th to the next time you masturbated.  Good people waited at least a few days.  In Louie CK’s … Continue reading →

Just discovered that I’m old. I’ve always shouted at the TV but I have never thrown pasta at it before. That’s what old people do. Crazy old people. But what else can we do? If God didn’t want us to … Continue reading →

A wiser man than me once said that in the kingdom of the blind drunk, the half cut man is King. Oh wait, that was me. Wow, I am a wise guy. I am also a deeply religious person, a … Continue reading →

First off let me sort out some rumours that have been floating about. No, Joe and I are not leaving the band to form our own side project called Combskare. That’s just daft. Obviously it just makes sense to stay … Continue reading →

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you are like me, then congratulations, you too are in a nine piece ska band that is permanently drunk yet somehow manages to be everywhere at once, kicking ass left and right with world class Kung … Continue reading →

I’ve made a huge mistake. Voting, unlike driving, is perfectly legal drunk. It turns out that SNP doesn’t stand for Ska National Party at all, it stands for Scottish National Party, with a C. It has nothing to do with … Continue reading →

Just a short post to address something we’ve been asked. We get asked if we’re playing certain gigs and festivals all the time, but the one gig we have been asked about most often and most recently is the Royal … Continue reading →

Is it true? I’ve just heard. Mark Twain’s dead. Hopefully it’s an exaggeration. Well it’s census time again and although it takes a while for the results to come in we can reasonably predict a few things. First we strongly … Continue reading →

Time to get our heads back in the game as they say. I’m sure you’ll agree that 2010, as predicted, was a load of shite. Call that a year. It made 1666 look like 1870 for christs sake! Economic collapse … Continue reading →

> Made it back from Aberdeen. Just. If there hadn’t been that break in the snow, we would have been fucked like those poor bastards on the M8 yesterday. Anyway… After several years of his constant bragging and boasting, I’ve … Continue reading →

> Have you ever wondered why haemorrhoids are called haemorrhoids and asteroids are called asteroids? Surely it should be the other way round. I demand an inquiry. And speaking of annoying pains in the ass I have two grievances today, … Continue reading →

> You may not believe this but last month I almost forgot about the Toots and the Maytals gig which we were playing at, I mean, when was the last time we had a gig on a Tuesday night? Fortunately … Continue reading →

> I’ve been reading that the newspaper industry is dying a death because of the Internet, but I disagree. You can’t wrap a fish supper in a blog. Trust me, it’s a mess. Besides there’s nothing better than an old … Continue reading →

> Since the beginning of the World Cup I’ve been hard at work down in my lab. That’s right, I have a lab. I’ve been working on creating a race of super mutant hybrid football playing supermen, to help increase … Continue reading →

> I promised myself that I wouldn’t spend Election Day like last time, passed out drunk behind the television with no pants on. This time I would vote and contribute to this wonderful democratic process that’s the envy of one … Continue reading →

> Groucho Marx once said that he wouldn’t want to be a member of a club that would have him as a member. We are exactly the same in this regard, because I wouldn’t be a member of a club … Continue reading →

> Just back from Los Angeles where we were collecting our Academy Award for Ska. Well technically it was Best Skank in a Ska category, but at last, undeniable proof that we are the best, and so to our rivals … Continue reading →

> So Gordon Brown is claiming that he has never hit anyone in his office, after claims in a ‘shocking’ new book, which say he was abusive and violent to staff. That’s outrageous. What the fuck is wrong with the … Continue reading →

> Well, here we are again my friends… Happy New Year from all of us at Bombskare HQ, we hope you all had a good time. Now that the bevvy has worn off and the snow seems to be melting … Continue reading →

> We went to London last weekend and one week later I’m still completely exhausted from the drive probably because of my advanced age. Jimi Hendrix didn’t have to worry about being 37 and tired. Or snapping strings because he … Continue reading →

> Hi there. Before we start, I’d like to talk a little bit about forgiveness. I was asked recently why I have the title ‘Reverend’ before my name. Was it because of my saint-like patience, my aura of spiritual calm, … Continue reading →
