Tony Malone - Old Kent Road Cycles - his new venture?

£Lots, roughly.

300% or something

Seriously? So we're talking 1500 for a frame?

Oh well, it's up to them how much they charge. I'll get an off-the-peg jackson and spend the left overs on nicer components.

yeah, the other £1220

What happened to his latest scam project?

hah!
"website launch 1/1/2008"

what a fucking knobend

in case it goes live...

this guy calls himself a graphic designer? he doesn't even know how to space a phone number correctly. Holding a fairly boring looking flyer in my hand with a 'Design for Diversity' credit (including web link) and the Witcomb number spaced like this: +44(0)208 692 1734. It spaces correctly: +44(0)20 8692 1734. Most first year design students know that. At least everyone with even some very basic training in typography.

PJ - you truly made my week with that polemic. An exact breakdown of why I detest DaFoney and his ilk so. Sheer narcissism, plain and simple.

He obviously believes his own (self-spread) hype and truly feels that he is the oracle of cycling knowledge. Honestly, if I weren't across the pond, I'd march right into his offices and try to engage him in a serious conversation about how in the hell he justifies his delusions of grandeur to himself.

I really don't see an enormous difference between Malone giving 'an evening lecture on the design and fashion impact of the bicycle' and Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas sending CNN pictures of her wedding cake:

Yes, that's a life-size model of the bride, as a wedding cake. Self-absorbed much?

What the hell possible point is there to a lecture on the design and fashion impact of the bicycle to anyone? If I were writing a thesis on this very specific subject, maybe this might be of marginal use to me - if it weren't being delivered by such a brainless no-mark as the Typographic Cyclist.

i quite like that wedding cake. it looks fucking amazing.

which bit would you ask for? i'd eat the groin. or the lips. maybe a breast. or some fingers.

actually, changed my mind, it's totally freaky. what if someone accidentally confused the bride with the cake, and started chopping her up?

his companys desgin site is horrid, i would never pay any one to tell me how to make something look good with a website that looked like that.

that cake is sick

giving a piece of herself to each of the wedding guests? ugh. who do you think you are? the messiah? i bet that's what tony malone thinks he is.

edmundane the messiah? i bet that's what tony malone thinks he is.

He's not the messiah.

He's a very naughty boy.

the link to his "accessibilty" page isn't there and when you find the page it tells you that you have to mess around with the settings in your web browser in order to make the page more accessible....now that's design for diversity right there.

Maybe we could all book a place at the talk and then not turn up or pay...

Or turn up and grill the fuck out of him with absurd questions.

And not pay...

Momentum Maybe we could all book a place at the talk and then not turn up or pay...

I like it.

BRM Or turn up and grill the fuck out of him with absurd questions.

And not pay...

not very absurd, but questions like:

"have you ever done a genuine day's work in your whole life?"
"justify why you think people should pay to hear your ideas and opinions"
"how many fingers am i holding up?"

winston the link to his "accessibilty" page isn't there and when you find the page it tells you that you have to mess around with the settings in your web browser in order to make the page more accessible....now that's design for diversity right there.

haha you funny.

i like the cake. you can have it. and eat it.

Groom looks happy.... perhaps he was hoping for a threesome?

he'd rather marry the cake..

bigger tits and won't talk back

i hope he finds this page...

we need to get it ranking on google for his name. I suggest anyone with a blog writes a short post about tony malone then link to this page ;)

RPM he'd rather marry the cake..

bigger tits and won't talk back

that's probably what he married that woman for. she loves herself so much she wouldn't have cared about what that bloke did anyway. and she probably married that guy to give herself an excuse to make that bloody piece of TART

they actuly had two cakes of the bride made, but one didnt make it past the bachlor party...
