Poety Corner

Just found this on the old interweb. A poem called Brummagen read by the Chinnmiester himself. From a nice history site.


Everybody Out

It’s deja-vu alll over again, as Land Rover workers – who must have been watching that fab Arthur Scargil programme on saturday – go on strike.


Get a degree in Brummie

Well, not a degree as such – but there is a one day course on Sat 28 Feb.

Clare Short has her knockers

The filthy tabloid press has had another go at brummie icon Clare Short. They printed an article calling her “fat and jealous” of page 3 girls. It includes a pic of Clare’s head super-imposed onto a topless model. So, my mate Garry will be happy tonight anyway. See the offending article here.


Malcolm Boyden

Brum’s a hole lot better

Birmingham city council today took a leaf out of “Culture Capital” Liverpool’s book – and bought the Beatle’s 1000 holes (previously on loan to Blackburn, Lancashire) and installed them in Spagetti Junction.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.

    Feel free to send us anything you're interested in - or think we might be.
    If you've got gigs to promote, best to chuck them on the talk board.
