GARETH SAYS…
Well I guess everyone knows what I would do if I found out my partner owed $180,000 but I wonder what Amy would do if the tables were turned!
So I asked her last night. Here’s what she said:
AMY SAYS…
Fuck it I'd say deal with it it's not my problem! JOKE...
I told Gareth that I would:
A) Make him my slave
B) Turn him into a male prostitute
C) Make him befriend a very old rich lady
D) Train him to steal
E) Make him get a night job (washing dished or delivering Chinese food)
F) Take care of him and help him with his debt...probably rent a cheap pad in Brooklyn and pay all the rent until he got his loans sorted...

Free Sex Toys!
GARETH SAYS…
We have just finished a project at work with KY. To help the team come up with ideas a ton of money was spent on sex toys and strange lubricants.
When the project was over everything was up for grabs.
But it is a bit weird taking a free sex toy home in front of your colleagues.
I waited until no-one was looking and then grabbed some stuff and shoved it into my bag.
I sat their pleased with my discretion. I was going to smuggle it out without any embarrassment. Or so I thought…
“Hey who has taken the blue thing?” asked Ara looking in the bag of freebies.
“What has someone taken it?”
“Who was it?”
“Yeah who was it.”
I tried to look innocent.
“I bet it was Gareth.”
Obviously I’m not very good at looking innocent.
“Have you got the blue thing?”
“Errrrr Yes,” said I
“Hey everyone, Gareth’s taking home that blue sex toy”
“Way to go Gareth.”
Someone who perhaps is perhaps more easily embarrassed then me might have died right there on the spot.
I ran home (picking up some batteries on the way).

little did Gareth know it was for a dog...so Teddy is now very satisfied ;)

Big plans
GARETH SAYS…
When you are trying hard not to spend money you end up with a lot of time on your hands - time that you would usually spend in bars, at concerts, shopping.
We are making the most of all this free time and have compiled a list of things we want to achieve alone and together by the end of 2008.
Here it is…
GARETH
Finish a first draft of my book “The Obnoxious King” and recorded a chapter of it as a radio play
Cycled and swam as much as I can
Hit 200lbs
Written up 5 money making ideas into one page proposals
Made something
Written 20 minutes of stand-up material
AMY
Finish her latest video installation
Built 3 new sculptures
Come up with an idea for a documentary that can be made in 2009
Become a patch-free non-smoker
Started some sort of stress relieving exercise
Come up with a new video concept to work on after ‘The Dead’
GARETH & AMY
Finished our book on street signs – it’s looking pretty dope at the moment
Planned a great (but cheap) trip to Costa Rica on the back of my work trip there
Written at least one kids book together – the hero is a little girl called Abby Normal and is based on Amy
Designed some t-shirts and our imaginary band logo.
Got ONB down to $60,000 – with Amy’s bonus and our tax back money this will drop to a rather tiny $30,000 at the start of next year
Found somewhere to live for our post ONB life
Looks like we have a busy 4 months ahead of us. Bring it on.

"Match.com would be a bad idea"
GARETH SAYS...
I'm reading a good book of random conversation overheard in NYC.
It's based on this website.
This posting made me laugh!
Guy on cell: I'm 35. What? That's too old for you? Age ain't nothing but a number, baby. And, I work sometimes too. And I don't smoke. Well, I smoke, but I don't smoke smoke, ya know. And, I've only been in jail once, but that was a long time ago and I've learned. I even read now.
Girl nearby to friend: See, I told you signing up for match.com would be a bad idea. You can never tell who'll answer your ads.

After only knowing Amy for 4 days i brought her a tciket to England to come and spend Xmas with my family.
During the trip it was funny seeing our xmas traditions through a strangers eyes. Things i thought were once normal all appeared a bit odd - my sister bashing us on the head with a star on a stick and telling us to make a wish, the concept of a day dedicated to boxes on the 26th and the British public's love with Aled Jones.
Every shop we went into was playing "Walking In The Air" that classic Xmas song. I had assumed it was a worldwide hit with people swaying along to it all over the world. I was wrong. I don't think it even made it across the Channel let alone the Atlantic. Amy had never heard of it before so as soon as she left i convinced everyone in my family to make this video! Enjoy.

GO GAY GARETH
AMY SAYS...
Bank Targets Gay Londoners
Nearly one in nine employees in London's banking, finance and insurance sector is gay, according to an article in the Telegraph, and such consumers typically enjoy significantly higher salaries than their heterosexual counterparts. Little wonder, then, that one of London's major banks has implemented a new banking service targeted specifically at the city's homosexuals.
Just launched this summer, Credit Suisse's new service is provided by advisors at the bank who are themselves openly gay, the Telegraph reported, and includes not just traditional banking offerings but also components tailored to such events as adoption and civil partnership and LOWER FEES. Stephen Connolly, head of the Credit Suisse service, explains: “Clients with us have no need to explain their lifestyles or—as we know happens in some cases—almost feel the need to justify the way they choose to live their lives.”
