12/12/03 - Oh dear;
its Bigman
Guess who’s back, back again.
In the words of Mike Williamson, HELLO!!
Finally it would appear to be that time of year again, when a new
Bigman column is up. And here dear readers, it is:
Its been quite a while hasn’t it? Ahh well am sure you haven’t
missed me too much, and if you have then I am very sorry, and I
hope that you have not killed yourself, during the exceptionally
long break, if you have I apologise, but lets face it if you were
willing to kill yourself over this column, then its probably best
you are now out of the gene pool.
So for all readers that are still alive; lets get busy with the
fizzy, and crack on.
First up, lets discuss what has been going on in the land of Bigman,
over the break. Well all in all its been quite an exciting few months.
I have now attained my degree, a 2:1 in psychology, and so I am
now officially Bigman Bsc. I have decided to utilise this degree
in the best possible way, and so now have gone full time at Tesco,
working all hours under the sun (and the moon), in order to be able
to buy myself a new pair of pants once in a while. So with my life
currently going exactly to plan, I couldn’t be happier. Anyway
I feel that that is enough Bigman news for now, as I do not wish
to provide you stalkers with any more clues to my whereabouts, its
up to you to find me.
In terms of site promotion, I don’t think the last 12 months
could have gone better. The first promotion action came in the summer
with feverish campaigning at this year’s v festival. Once
again stickers were the main ammo used by the foot soldiers, as
well as copious amounts of Budweiser bought with strange vouchers.
If there was a festival goer who did not have a sticker on them,
then I didn’t see them. It was quite an impressive sight,
one that will go down in jimmy folklore. Unfortunately due to a
sever underestimate of the combined size of three of our chief promoters
(Namely me, webmaster and Roadkill), the nights sleep was not a
good one, which ensured the weekend ended on a rather low note.
After a failed attempt of three of us sleeping in a 1 man tent,
I was forced to see out the rest of the night in a reclined sun
lounger in a garden shed, where I made full use of its many amenities
(a bottle), and was rudely awoken at an ungodly hour, by a gaggle
of young children staring in the shed window, presumably thinking
I was the latest addition to the tweenies.
More exciting was the recent trip up to Newcastle and Durham. Unbelievably
some ra-ra radio presenters going by the names of Leo and Dave (Leo-an
owl, Dave- a scunthorpeonion), found the site, and for some strange
reason seemed to think that it was worthy of some airtime on Durham’s
world famous Purple FM 107fm. So after a mere hint of a telephone
interview, we took this as an invitation and off we went up to Durham.
After Leo and Dave got over the initial shock of seeing us on their
doorstep, they were more than accommodating, taking us for a beer
and showing us the wonderful sights of Durham, which included among
other things, a river, over 67 bridges, and a coral bookies. I have
to say that it is as you can tell from my vivid description a wonderful
humour filled place.
Unfortunately the same cant be said regarding Newcastle. A dank
miserable city, where the locals are worse. What unfriendly people.
It would have been dangerous to campaign to heartily in this northeast
hellhole, as I fear that the stickers could well have been shoved
somewhere I certainly wouldn’t usually put a sticker. But
still with Newcastle so close to Scotland, it is no real wonder
that the salt of the earth Geordies have inherited some of the Scots
more favourable charms.
Not all was lost in Newcastle, where after visits to the boobies
bar, and then on to the badger bar, numerous star sightings were
clocked up. First there was Mark Wright of Liverpool and Oxford
fame, followed by a chance encounter with all 3 members of Busted.
There was also a run in, and then run away from the honey monster.
The trip in general though was a particularly successful one, Leo
and Dave seemed eager to promote the site in any way they could,
and the interview seemed like a success, minus a few libellous comments,
all was well. There was also the revelation that Dave had once made
a clay model of jimmy’s chin, some thing which is currently
in the trophy shop, as a base model for the new jimmy awards, which
will be readily handed out at this years most prestigious awards
ceremony, The Jimmy’s. to be held in Bramhalls in mid January.
(Damn it I have just given another clue to you bastard stalkers).
Anyway I am off to prepare now for tomorrows Manchester Derby, and
my 12 hour shift at Tesco (only another few months and those new
pants will be mine!), but I will leave you with some words of wisdom
to get you through the next few weeks till my next update (They
should get more regular again, now I have nothing to do)………
1. Always think of jimmyhill.co.uk, make it your first port of call
everyday.
2. Tell all your Friends about jimmyhill.co.uk, we need more hits
3. See The film Elf- Its Brilliant
4. Remember that by visiting the site you are now deeply ingrained
in the site and its success depends on you. Feel part of the team.
5. Make t-shirts.
6. Make stickers.
7. Promote everywhere.
8. Don’t be worried or ashamed to help us. What goes around
comes around. I guarantee that by helping us, your life will improve.
9. Stop Bloody Stalking me!!!

- Big Brother
Well after a particularly long time
Jimmyhill.co.uk is up and running again!! And, thank the heavens,
after an even longer period out, there is the wonder of a new Bigman
column to immerse yourselves in as well!!!
After a considerably lengthy summer
break from this column, I have been forced to return to work, by
that slave driver of a Webmaster. Apparently all the commotion around
the new columnist Craig's 'Musty Investigates' reports, and the
constant updates have forced the Webmaster to assess the working
levels and ethics of his more established columnists. And so I have
taken it upon myself to prove to all of you out there that in terms
of web site columnists I still am the best there is, the best there
was, and the best there ever will be!
As many of you will have noticed
from the main front page, last weekend a jimmyhill.co.uk promotional
trip to London took place. I must say that I found it a privilege
to be involved with such a campaign, and although I know many of
you Bigman fans will be disappointed not to see your favourite in
many of the photographs, you can all take heart safe in the knowledge
that I was there keeping a watchful eye on all the goings on, from
behind the camera lens!!
Throughout the weekend spent down
in London we managed to carry out all jimmyhill.co.uk objectives.
We successfully managed to attach stickers to: Buckingham Palace,
Harrods, Houses of Parliament and any other landmark you care to
think of!! We also managed to attach stickers to many of the music
lovers found around the Finsbury park area on Sunday (Yes that's
right, at one of the oasis gigs that have already been labelled
better than Knebworth!!). In a remarkable set of unfortunate circumstances
we also found jimmyhill.co.uk being advertised and on full display
at London's massive gay Mardi gras!! Which was a turn up for the
books to say the least! (Oh how that image of a sixty year olds
naked tattooed breasts still haunts me, brrrrr sends a shiver down
the spine).
I consider that the weekend trip
was a vast success, and may I take this opportunity to thank all
those that helped in this campaign including The Victoria Thistle
Hotel, Phil, Matt Villas, The other unknown twosome who accompanied
us on Sunday, proudly displaying there jimmyhill.co.uk badges, The
Villars family for a lunch which provoked feverish campaigning,
and especially Granny Villars, for her words of advice before heading
in to the Finsbury Park Area, and for the fact she has been on Bansai!!!
I thank you all for making it such a success.
Apart
from jimmymania, which has clearly taken hold of the country,
the other big thing that seems to be filling up our morning
papers is the new Big
Brother, BB3. It is now that I introduce the next of the4
Bigman missions, and this is simply KEEP PJ IN THE HOUSE!!
It is up to you now; we have only two days to act!! We have
to vote as many times as possible between us, for Kate!
PJ is by far the best choice to win the whole goddam thing
let alone survive the eviction!! PJ is funny and is the
only genuine person left in the house, who will not slag
off others behind their backs, but instead will confront
them direct, it will make a change for a normal bloke to
win, rather than the Camp Irish and dwarfed Scouse Drivel
that we have been served in the past!! So I leave you with
this mission, and I will speak Soon |

- The Great Mullet Mystery
Well its that time again,
time for a brand new update of big mans views. I know that it hasn't
been that long since the last update, but I am finding that with
the new columnist C4rge we are all getting pushed to update more
regularly, although I am thankful that C4rge has in no way raised
the standard that needs to be churned out by us, as his column as
big a lump of shod as the rest!!!
The first thing that I believe
that has to be discussed is that Big mans views has finally passed
the 100 visitor mark, a milestone!!!! I believe that this is due
to the fact that the word of www.jimmyhill.co.uk is spreading and
with the site as a whole now having well over 2500 hits, and C4rge
scoring a quickfire 25 hits, I believe slaps on the back all round,
are in order!!!
Still not a lot of feedback
from you clowns that actually spend your time reading this column,
although I am happy to announce that I got my first e-mail from
a reader of this page since the last update, the only downside to
this was that the offending e-mail came from a RODENT!!!!!!!
This column is bveing written
the day after the English national football team managed to beat
a team of german pensioners, not surprising since someone had stolen
the source of the german goalkeepers powers............... his patented
MULLET.
So here starts the next of
the jimmyhill.co.uk missions, this one being one of the hardest
of them all. The task is simple, all that needs to be done by one
of you fools is to find Oliver Kahns Mullet, and somehow reattach
it to his head!!!! There are numerous suggestions of what could
have happened to this fantastic hair display, some suggest it has
been stolen, others believe that on a big nite out with its other
hairstyle friends such as beehive and skin, it was caught up in
the blaze which tore through the cheadle hulme wetherspoons recently,
and unfortunately didnt survive. (This is quite a surreal suggestion,
but a suggestion none the less)!!
Anyway I believe that this
is the end of this weeks ramblings, I hope to get another update
in before the end of summer, if not one will be up as soon as I
have time.
Speak to you all soon, and
happy hunting! Bigman

- E-Mail Me, Please, Someone
Well, its been a long time
coming, but i have finally managed to put forward another column.
At the time of writing my column alone has received the grand total
of 68 hits- Very impressive i think you will all agree!!!! Still
no e-mail's from any of you clowns so im guessing that im not as
yet a cult figure, although with 68 hits, i surely cant be far off!!!
But seriously, someone E-MAIL ME!. Not too much going on at present
in the world of the big man, still on an outrageously long summer
holiday from uni- with quite a bit of time still left aswell, unfortunately
though absolutely nothing worth mentioning has happened, but still
never mind!.
On an even lower note, since
my last column lance has left neighbours!!! he had supposedly signed
an exclusive deal with jimmyhill.co.uk to produce weekly in depth
diaries detailing his alien catching expeditions, but as yet nothing.
Personally I am shocked.
Jimmy still seems to be avoiding
any kind of interaction with the public, choosing to keep his undoubted
superior knowledge regarding the forthcoming football season to
himself, an unusual decision but one that has to be respected.
Sorry to leave you all on
a low but that's all I have to say really- sorry
Bigman
(24/04/01) -
Toadie and Lance
Well its that time again -
Time for my new colomn regarding everythying that is currently goin
on throughout this world!!As regular readers know (yep thats me,
andy and ste), i try to update as often as possible, but due to
one thing or another these updates only actually arrive when we
are on holiday from uni- so this is my easter holidays edition.Ive
got exams starting on the 30th of April so this colomn will not
possibly be as long as it has been previuously, as i have got other
things on my mind at the mo.
I notice that the site has
had yet another change in appearance, and i have to say that the
new front page does look better, although i do miss the old jimmy
graphic!!
One thing i would like to
say regarding the lance issue-still no update- However i took it
upon myself to e-mail the real lance on behalf of all you lance
fans!! The e-mail was a simpole request for the real lance to come
and visit this site and give it a kind of seal of approval, and
sign the guestbook!! Unfortunately no response- so if a number of
you fans out there would like to help in this campaign, then just
go to the official neighbours site and e-mail him!!!!!!!!! The more
ther merrier! I believe though that we may have to change our angle
of attack- and possibly go for the juggular that is Toadie!! So
e-mail him aswellIm still trying to track down an official jimmy
e-mail adress, unsuccessful as yet, but if any of you out there
do know of one- dont be afraid to either e-mail him and let him
know about the wonder that is jimmyhill.co.uk, or at least pass
the address on to us here at the site.
Anyway im off again to do
revision- Before my next colomn I would like each one of you to
send a quick e-mail informing one person about this site- SPREAD
THE WORD- especiallty about my colomn!!
Speak to you soon
Big Man
(25/3/01)
- Is anyone actually out there?
Here I am sat at home on a
rare saturday off work!! I have just forced myself to sit through
an entire edition of football focus-Watching that fool Lawrenson
and special guest Alan Curbishley??!!!??, try to muster up some
footballing sense between them, UNBELIEVABLE!!!. Neither of these
two are remotely in the same league as Sir Jimmy. I know that Jimmy
was not on every week-But just the anticipation that he might be
on, to give his pearls of wisdom used to be enough to book a day
off work!! Nowadays my days off just seem to be wasted!!
Hope everyone reading this
is impressed with the new look site-I am proud to say that this
time I was part of the production-hence why the site is now looking
remarkably good!!!.
I dont know if anyone out
there agrees with me- but I feel that the lance area of the site
needs to much larger and more important than how it is at the minute-
e-mail the webmaster and let him know what you think, I'm sure he
will be glad to hear from you- even if he does pretend that he is
not. I also believe that Big Mans Views should be a bigger part
of the site- with maybe even its own button on the main page(Hint,Hint-Andy)-
what do you think- Definateley e-mail the webmaster about this one!!!
(I will promise to update my page a lot more frequentl;y if I do
get my own button!!)- Anyway time to go now- as I am off to a Feeder
concert tonight- So got to get going- Ill let you know how it all
went in next weeks BIg Mans Views
Se Ya Later!!
I am ashamed to admit that
i visited Jimmyhill.Com today and can quite honestly say that it
does not, in any way shape or form reach the stunning quality of
this great site.
Jimmy has always been a hero
of mine and now there is a site worthy of his name, as this page
expands I hope that it will keep the adoring public up to date with
the Jimmy news and facts, eg Jimmy is a member of the all England
tennis club (at Wimbledon) and plays a doubles match every Monday
morning.
I also hope that this page
will continue to get the exclusive Jimmy comments from world famous
people. Anyway, gotta go, so catch more of my comments in next weeks
'Big Mans Views' by Dan.
P.S
I am leaving the writers profile in your capable hands!
Daniel
McBirkett lives in the grave shadow of a witches castle owned by
a witch. He lives in constant fear of being shrunk to the
size of an actual Nissan Micra. He was born into a family
who rejected him so was raised by a family of Chimpanzies in the
world famous Chester zoo and to this day his love of bannanas is
second to none (well maybe Bannana Man anyway).
After
His stay in the jungle like atmosphere of the zoo Daniel was set
loose into the real world to fend for himself. That is until
he found sanctitude in the arms of columnist David where they engage
in harmless fun regularly attending the church of St. Jimmy of Chin
on Saturdays at 3 O' Clock until a quarter to 5 (unless there is
extra time).
Plans
for the future include the nameing of a McDonalds sandwich after
him and the completion of a degree in Psycology. |
