Some brief news -As I write this on Sunday night (23rd) the Beanokru has had 995 visitors and we are currently getting about 10 hits a day, so the 1000th visitor can't be far away. -The Beanokru is also planning a full review of members, with popularity going through the roof and some members going out of line something has to be done, so buck up your ideas or face the wrath of Beano, you have been warned. -On a lighter note, I am are also contemplating changing the name of the site to Beano's egotrip as I feel it would be a much more approapriate name. I would put some other decent quotes from past news items here, but there weren't any. The End |
Virtual Illusion rock Spider's Web..........again As you may or may not of known on the 17 July, Danums very own rock band played at Spider's Web. However this time they didn't merely have to impress their loyal army of fans; no this time they were performing in front of a not particularly nice women from the local rag; The Donny Free Press. Now in the past this women has not given bands to kinder a review, and to be fair VI got let off pretty lightly. She was bemused by their selection of tunes, but still managed to put them down,a tad harsh, but these things will happen lads on your rise to fame. Now I realise by publishing the review on the web I am probably breaking any number of copywrite laws, but I feel by doing this I am providing a public service and perhaps if I change certain aspects of it, I will get away with it. Besides if their website www.doncasteronline.co.uk wasn't some two bit operation, I would have put a link straight to the review, however they don't bother putting things like that on the web, so I will. "Only a fledgling Donny band could get away with playing a set almost entirely of covers, and still give it something completely of their own. (I have added the word of, as in the paper, it was left out from the sentence ".....completely of their own", meaning it didn't make sense.) Spider's Web was packed with parents, girlfriends and bemused music-lovers. (what about village idiots, ie. Beanokru.) Having only recently come to terms with eighties rock, hearing Sweet Child of Mine bludgeoned under the dreams of ego-inflated youth could have sent me running for the nearest folk festival. However the sheer nerve of the boys had me transfixed. Even when they played Greenday. There was a brief moment of relief as they played a couple of their own songs. A steady keyboard-led ballad followed by a nice simple punky-rock headbanger more suited to their raw sound. A well deserved rest for us all as the lads took a break and then straight back on stage with Thunderstorm by AC/DC, which became T-rex's 20th Century Boy before our very own eyes. And just to prove they've got a sense of humour, this medley of mirth mutates in to The Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. Huh? It's all a big mashy pool of rock-god fantasies really, groupies, stardom, money and excess. The dreams of youth." So there you go, she didn't mention the band's name, which depending on the way you look at it, could be a good or bad thing. Nothing much has happened since July, however I thought I'd put this last bit on as it is still relevant, take particular notice to the bit about members being thrown out |
The results were:- a) 57% b) 43% c) 0% There was some positive news though, last week was the best week for hits for the site with nearly 50 people visiting, although it is unknown how many of these were Beano, Ginner and BiG Pete. The petition at Fructidor 2 also through up some interesting signatures, including Martin Luther King, JFK, Mad Dog McGuire, Eddie spaghetti and a D.Irons and V.Cusworth. Also the guestbook remains and has been taken over by a sad individual who has set up his own fanclub and also likes to pretend to be a Bulgarian. BiG Pete for this reason you are the first Beankru Gimp of the month. Wow! That was a bit hairy, however it wasn't half as bad as the review VI got in the Donny Free Press in July, sorry guys but people want to see it, |
On the weekend of 7th and 8th of October Boss and Big Pete hit the Karisma discoteque in style pulling 13 yes 13 between them. Boss pulled a whole 12 of them while Big Pete settled 4 the 1 whale (described on Steven Hodgekinson website, see links page) Big Pete claimed " she didnt look that nice and her breathe stunk but at least she had a nice pair of legs, and ti oh i feel sick, hey look its gone green, er" Anyway it was a good weekend + due respect ta the DJ in Nelsons on friday and the Swedish bisexual Dj in the Karisma on Saterday. You will see the Boss there on the !2th of October 4 the ibiza foam party........ |
First up on our magical mystery tour is the first news story ever, Boss and Big Pete hit Karisma |
Jesus Christ! Ah, welcome back wasn't that great, well moving on swiftly here is a story from November |
Sixth Form Mayhem |
Its monday the 6th of November and members of the Kru including Beano, Big Pete, Rog the Bob Roberts, Eyes, Sunny, Alex, myself and others are already warming up with Marlon in Coach and Horses and the Old George of Donny, before we hit Berlins. U R not going ta believe some of the stuff that happened in the supreme super pub in Donny, next ta da mighty Visage. Eyes pulled Rotherhams Joanne, Wez and Katie has a lovers tiff (a big up ta Wez) and Boss did some of the best dancing seen in Doncaster over the centurys, after the practice he had on the Saturday when Red Hot Alex Pepper visited the mighty Visage and i did a little podium dancing.( well a lot). Danum nu chick Anita described him az "God" During the exstatic night i only pulled 8 birds 2 of them shagged. After the night, Pussy Sunny, Gayboy Eyes, small Pete and Beano pissed off home. While T, Lizze, myself, Wez, Rob the Bob Roberts, Smithers and Fake ID went looking 4 a night club, and was appalled ta find dat not one was open in the major conurbation of Donny. So get yourself sorted Donny. It was partly ur own fault as we got Bachuss shut down 4 having Batty Boys in it. But Bambuda dat opened on the 14th of November iz a gud prospect 4 future sixth form partys. In what was an exstatic night it was a anti-climax to end up at Chillys kebab house althougth Burnie and Ennzo and Burnie supplied great stupid laughs in their. Yes you read that correctly Ginner actually described The Visage as "mighty", oh how things change anyway the next few monthes yielded little news from the Kru as can be seen below, |
Summary of news between December 2000 to March 2001 December 2000 : Internet fucked up January 2001 : Hungover February 2001 : Couldn't be arsed March 2001 : Ditto In all honesty we couldn't really be bothered and forget about it, however during a dull Easter holiday Beano decided to restart the site and here are some highlights from April 2001, |
Beano Kru head South In a trip to London, unrelated to that of the school the previous week Beano, Ginner, BiG Pete and a guy called Bones headed to the capital. On arriving in the city the group quickly headed for a bit of window shopping in Soho. They then moved on to Oxford Street, and Hamley's toy shop, after getting to grips with the latest toys, the boys payed a visit to Harrod's and got a mixed reception when asking where the bargain bin was. However they truly splashed out when purchasing a £4.50 pint. This did allow us to use the bogs though, possibly the highlight of the visit, after taking pictures (can't you get arrested for that?), the kru visited Westminster, dropping into see Tony boy and giving him some advice. Moving on, the lads went to Canary Wharf. After a failed attempt to infiltrate the tallest building in Britain, we looked at some yuppy houses and then fucked off home. Well that was brief, anyway as you may have now noticed the Ali G theme had been dropped and it was now time for some serious journalism; and serious it got as the Beanokru website faced closure, |
Save the Kru Bad news from Beanoland fans it is looking as if the Beanokru website could go out of existence. This is because Homestead want to charge us $10 a month to put this crap on the web, and being tight Yorkshiremen there is obviously no chance of us paying. So we have to look for a new home. The problem this means work and possibly redesigning the whole site, now not only are we tight, we are also work shy, so the chances of us bothering are slim. However you could convince us to carry on. Now you have two choices give us money, which might be being a bit optimistic, alternatively you could e-mail me, begging to continue. At Fructidor we managed to get about 20 signatures supporting us so we might continue. The Guestbook will also be disappearing from the 26th of June, although we will try to replace it. However the reports were unfounded as this news from July shows |
Save the Kru: Part 2 After appealing for support in the quest to save the Beanokru website last month, I can now say we received no e-mails of support. Although some might be disheartened by this, not us. No instead we set up a web poll which is asking for trouble. The question we ask is what would you say to Beano about his quest to save the Beanokru? Would you, a) say, "Stump up you tight bastard , the lower sixth need a dose of your egocentic, oddball humour during a dull free period." b) say, " Stand firm, don't give in to those money grabbers, and take your business elsewhere." c) say, " Do neither, this site is a load of shit anyway, the best thing to do would be to close it down and never speak of it again." |
The results were:- a) 57% b) 43% c) 0% There was some positive news though, last week was the best week for hits for the site with nearly 50 people visiting, although it is unknown how many of these were Beano, Ginner and BiG Pete. The petition at Fructidor 2 also through up some interesting signatures, including Martin Luther King, JFK, Mad Dog McGuire, Eddie spaghetti and a D.Irons and V.Cusworth. Also the guestbook remains and has been taken over by a sad individual who has set up his own fanclub and also likes to pretend to be a Bulgarian. BiG Pete for this reason you are the first Beankru Gimp of the month. Wow! That was a bit hairy, however it wasn't half as bad as the review VI got in the Donny Free Press in July, sorry guys but people want to see it, |
( Please note: this poll is just for fun and bugger all notice will be taken of it.) |

18th Birthday Greetings Looks as though it will be a busy year for the Beanokru, as members celebrate their 18th birhtdays. This week has seen Ginners and Fake ID's birthday celebrations. Now I wouldn't normally write about these 'cause there isn't that much to say, but at Fake ID's, millions (well Nupa and someone else) came up to me and said you have got to put this on the site, so here goes. Well we basically got there pretty late and there was free booze so everyone was battered. We then sat around and nothing really happened, a very unusual occurence at one of Fake ID's parties. This all changed however when Fake ID got chucked out of his house by his folks. Now the original plan was to go down to his local 'The Ivanhoe' which is down the road and a mere 5 minutes walk away. This though was far too simple for Fake ID, oh no instead he thought it was an excellent idea to go the 'Boat Inn', a quiet little Public House by the river in a picturesque valley. Wonderful you might think, but there was a slight problem, you see Fake ID lives at the top of the valley. Now in normal circumstances this is no great difficulty, but this wasn't really normal. Imagine the scenario you have around 30 mostly drunk, rowdy 17/18 year old stumbling over fields in the dark, however as we were to find this was the easy part. After this leg of the jourey was successfully negotiated we had the second half. This involved climbing down a steep valley side footpath. To me this was hilarious because for some reason I wasn't drinking, but with hindsight god knows how it didn't end in someone falling down and breaking their neck or someone ending up in the river. At the pub nothing really happened again and everyone staggered back up the hill to go to the Ivanhoe. At the top we saw some Sprotbrough C-Bass (right bunch of pussys) who threatened a group of us and then took it all back when they realised there was more of us. Anyway then I went home and who knows what happened. A good night was enjoyed by all, but I can't help thinking it would have been better under the influence of alcohol. |
