		<description><![CDATA[This years Christmas Card is now up, to amuse and terrify you all. Featuring Frosty Birks as the character, it paints a disturbing picture of how magical characters who come to life actually fare in the real world, and the difficulties they face with our society. This oddball photo won the December competition on the Fancy Dress Shack Facebook page, with the prize being a refund of of the outfit money, which is pretty darn cool. Many thanks to my rock Jess for taking the photo. Now go see!<span class="readmore"> ... <a href="http://www.birks.info/2011/12/2011-christmas-card/">Read more » </a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Halloween is a disturbing time, the nights start closing in, the weather generally gets rather cold, grim and depressing, and on one day in particular all things beastly and gruesome happen. This was one of those days, save for an uplifting occurrence that made the day less horrid. It was a dreary Monday morning, well, most Mondays are dreary, but this one was more so due the combination of a cold, and the effects of a particularly heavy weekend on the juice. Somehow I managed to drag myself to work, feeling like something that would not be out of place<span class="readmore"> ... <a href="http://www.birks.info/2011/10/freaky-luck/">Read more » </a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days have passed since Hair Off Day, and I can safely say that the whole experience has been a fantastic success. Considering that I&#8217;m just a guy (a curious guy admittedly), and my hair wasn&#8217;t particularly that long, getting my hair shaved off generated a surprisingly large amount of interest. Maybe it was part credit to the Red Nose Day website and it&#8217;s connections with Twitter and Facebook, using today&#8217;s ways of social networking to generate a buzz and simplicity of donating, which I think was really effective. Or maybe it was simply that all my friends, family,<span class="readmore"> ... <a href="http://www.birks.info/2011/03/hair-gone-hair-gone/">Read more » </a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past two Sport Reliefs I&#8217;ve run alongside lots of people to raise money for the charity, and fun it has been. Last year, after I ran 3 miles in Christchurch Park in Ipswich, I wondered if there would be anything interesting I could do for Comic Relief&#8217;s Red Nose Day, the bi-annual event that alternates with it&#8217;s sporty counterpart.. Comic Relief is a UK charity created by Richard Curtis and Alexander Mendis in 1985, that helps people in Africa and in Britain, and has raised over £650 million since it began. The flagship of the charity is Red<span class="readmore"> ... <a href="http://www.birks.info/2011/03/comic-relief-hair-gone-day/">Read more » </a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eager to get more content up on this site, I&#8217;ve uploaded this year&#8217;s Christmas Card, as well as last year&#8217;s, and a few more silly pictures with suitably silly captions. Going under the brand &#8220;Photos By Birks&#8221;, these daft pics are given out to friends and family, and have taken over from the cartoons from previous years, and are a great way of getting some creativity out of my system, as well as causing amusement for the recipient. This year I&#8217;ve taken on a drag direction. Next year I&#8217;m thinking ball gown and glass slippers..<span class="readmore"> ... <a href="http://www.birks.info/2010/12/this-years-christmas-card/">Read more » </a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Twas Christmas Day, at eleven o&#8217;clock, And Birks started drinking, it came as no shock. After downing a pint, with a hic and a cough, He ran down the street taking all his clothes off! The neighbours looked out and amidst lots of sighs, They looked at each other, and all rolled their eyes. &#8220;Oh not again, it&#8217;s the same every year&#8221;, &#8220;Showing his bits and spreading some cheer..&#8221; As they watched him dance, and wiggle his bottom, Enough was enough, it was time for some action!
