Delusions of Grandeur and Plain Weird28 Jan 2010 09:56 am

Thanks to my mate Nic for finding this one.

The Democratisation of Eastern Europe was part of my Peace Plan that I put to Mikhail Gorbachev in order to get the US interesed in an end to the Cold War. My Plan worked and we are still here, I find it insulting that people to this day say that it was people power that democratised Eastern Europe, I put a lot of work into my Plan.
Andrew Kadir-Buxton

Along with most of the rest of the internet, we’ve featured Kadir-Buxton before but, if you happened to miss that one, and you haven’t already encountered him yourself, you’re probably sitting there right now shaking your head and assuming that Andrew Kadir-Buxton must be taking the piss.

Rest assured, he’s not. He’s endearingly, genially mental. Completely and utterly hatstand. He believes he’s some kind of genius inventor who spends his time studying either mental illness or, for a bit of light relief, fannies. Once he’s had a good think about the subject’s fanny and/or illness, he comes up with a “solution”. The solution is always the same and involves slapping the poor fucker round the face.

I’m also fairly convinced that, whenever he’s not slapping someone or cheerily assaulting their growler, he’s watching the news and failing to distinguish between “things that happened somewhere in the world today” and “things that Andrew Kadir-Buxton accomplished today”.

What I love about him is that, unlike the rest of the miserable, turdy croutons floating in the HYS battysoup, he actually seems really happy. I guess I would be too if my entire world, replete with fannies, cancer cures and face-slapping, was rendered in glorious Dobly five-point-wonkavision.

Anyway. Make sure you’ve got a half hour spare, make yourself a cuppa or something and head over to http://www.kadir-buxton.com for a bit of whirly-brained incomprehensibasket.

WARNING: Although the “K-B Fertility Treatment” page is highly amusing in places, it’s pretty fucking hard work and gave me an awful pain in my fallopian tubes. I’ve gone cross-legged again just thinking about it.

    I would have loved to have seen the summit meeting with K-B and Gorby.
    Would lemonade and lesbians be involved and how was Gorby’s fallopian tubes afterwards. People power,no,the way to overturn a communist government can only be the Kadir-Buxton way.

    I can thoroughly recommend his “Two treatments for migraines” page.

    Especially where a typo leads him to say “To stop a margarine attack one need only have the Kadir-Buxton Method used on the patient”.

    At least this has made the mystery of Gorbachev’s livid birthmark clear – it’s actually a scar from the Kadir-Buxton method gone wrong. Could happen to anyone in the early days of working out that a slap can cure all mankind’s ills.

    I’m wondering if Andy got his idea for the dead man kickstart from the funny little stamp you so often see professional footballers inflict on their floored opponents.

    You know, when they think no-one in the stadium of 30,000 people, with the 10 TV cameras pointed at them or the 10m people watching at home are looking.

    WD40 for pain relief
    Published: Friday January 8,2010 by RedRoseAndy

    A squirt of WD40 rapidly takes away the pain of arthritis. Push bikers use a similar substance that does not smell which has similar properties.

    I was wondering if there was any more mileage in AK-B, having seen the quoted post up there before a few different times, but apparently his insanity is a bit like what happens after you pass the event horizon in a rotating black hole. On a push bike.

    Wonder if he has anything to say about black holes?

    Has anybody read his “Kadir-Buxton Jump-Start method”?

    In it, he advises that a heart can be restarted by stamping hard enough (shoed or barefoot) on the ribs of the recently-deceased (within the last 26 minutes) corpse that it’s ribs are broken. This will resuscitate the corpse as it’s brain is kicked into life by previously unfelt levels of pain.

    This isn’t a joke, by the way.

    We all know of the endless gifts AKB has brought forth for a grateful humanity, but how does he come up with his miraculous ideas?

    [blockquote]Learning logic and then thinking logically takes time and patience but an increase in IQ brings with it an increase in the ability to solve everyday problems which is socially useful. An IQ of over 150 brings with it the bonus of being able to invent which can be economially useful.

    I always tell people that the best way of learning logic is to study and analyse the character Mr Spock in ‘Star Trek.’ Further studies can be of Ancient Greeks such as Plato. [/blockquote]

    And there I was assuming that in some way Plato was more important than Spock. What a fucking idiot I am; no way I have an IQ capable of producing economially useful inventions like a multi-purpose slap round the head.

    Does anyone know if he is actually factually for real? Not ‘did he really do all that amazing stuff with economy 7, fallopian tubes and kicking dead people when they are down’, obviously, but is he really a complete and utter mental, or is he just taking the piss? I mean, Elvis self-defence lessons? Surely no-one is actually that completely and utterly batshit crazy? Elvis couldn’t defend himself from the contentsof his own colon.

  26. on 28 Jan 2010 at 12:57 pm Mr Cat

    I’m sure everyone has their own Kadir Buxton story.

    His views on unemployment are particularly enlightening:

    Gordon Brown built his reputation, when Chancellor, on having low unemployment and month on month of growth on the five Buxton Coefficients of Unemployment. They calculate exactly how much money has to be put into the economy in order to create a job. As this is less money than is got back by way of taxation on their wage it is a win win situation. We can thus increase taxation revenues simply by creating full employment again.
    We must also cut back on exenditures on conventional wars and spend the money on adopting a near-zero CO2 policy. Job done Rowan.

    You know what I think? I think mad people should all be given free access to the internet to live out their fantasies online (erm… not in the paedo way or anything).

    In some strange way I think that insantily+teh interwebs=fulfillment. Andrew strikes me as harmless and completely happy by virtue of his web access!

    I point out that if the patient gets three more patients to try out the British Space Administration Drinking Game and show to their local Clergy and their personal Doctor that they are cured then they will be registered as a Saint in the Christian Church, even though this game is probably not how Jesus cured the mentally ill.

    I can’t believe that he’s genuine – my brain refuses to accept that anyone can be quite that mental. But I figure even if it’s all fiction, it’s still hilarious.

    Here’s a couple of extracts, to show you what you’ve been missing:

    “I am a better footballer than George Best ever was, so how come they get 100K a week and I get Income Support?”

    “Supposedly, in this world, merit and excellence are celebrated. But I can do everything better than everyone else on earth. Why do I have to apologize for it?”

    The CPS is a totally corrupt arm of the state, which is now becoming mentally deranged. I have made them sick of life, it seems. They don’t want to send anyone to jail any more because they want me in jail! I know it’s silly! Look at the John Leslie trial. Worse is the Brian Stevens trial. I’m photographing sinister stalkers in a busy public square, and I’m threatened with arrest for ‘photographing young girls’; and a policeman whose credit card details the FBI passed on for accessing a paedophile website, whose laptop downloaded the images, who posed as a thirteen year old girl in an internet chatroom, who’s accused of assaulting two schoolgirls, goes free?

    Yeah! How come??? YOU’RE NOT ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS.

  33. on 28 Jan 2010 at 1:41 pm Slow Reader

    @ Inspectre Hovis: That’s IT! If people only knew just how pervasive this man’s influence is:

    A couple of years ago, only one new movie in several openly referred to me in some way or other, but now it’s three in four openly referring to me in the title. Current movie releases are ‘Keeping Mum’, ‘House of Wax’, ‘Doom’, ‘Land of the Dead’, ‘The Brothers Grimm’, ‘It’s All Gone Pete Tong’, ‘The History Boys’, ‘Driving Lessons’, ‘Fade to Black’, ‘Revolver’. At the time of writing, three out of four new pop songs refer to me in the title. Oasis title their current album ‘Don’t Believe the Truth’, The Rolling Stones – ‘A Bigger Bang’, Coldplay – ‘X and Y’ (X and why), Robbie Williams – ‘Intensive Care’, the band U2 – ‘How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb’. The list goes on and on and on. American bands are all starting to follow suit. Not only is it ridiculous that one person has had such an influence, but that this person is still a taboo subject.
    Are you seriously suggesting that you haven’t noticed TV schedules chosen around me, adverts, novels, newspapers all referring to me without mentioning me by name?”

    Sorry to get all serious again, but at what point does all this become mocking the afflicted?

    Kadir-Buxton has an inflated ego and plans to slap, stamp or grope the world into shape – so he’s probably fair game. Same goes for anyone shouting “I told ‘em, but did they listen, did they bollocks” about the recession/earthquakes/swine flu/the footie/the second coming.

    But the people who genuinely think there’s a conspiracy to humiliate them (individually, not just as tax-paying white blokes) – we probably shouldn’t be deliberately adding to their paranoia.

  46. on 28 Jan 2010 at 2:37 pm Mr Cat

    Slow reader… this bloke is absolutely mentalist – his police complaint is just bizarre:

    http://pages.123-reg.co.uk/sumon-262452/youtheymeuk/id9.html

    I was on the top floor, by the escalators outside Allders when I was approached by two officers and the security guard from Harrison Gibson who brought them to me. The officers told me that someone had made a complaint to a shopkeeper that I had secretly taken a woman’s photograph without her permission. I replied that for the last couple of months I was being stalked, followed, put under close surveillance; and that I was gathering hard evidence to prove my case. I mentioned the term ‘secret service’ and an Asian gentleman now with them asked me, “You are with the secret service?” I replied, “No, I’m being followed by the secret service.” On hearing this I could see that he reacted with a look of sudden understanding. He must have been the shopkeeper, and something must have seemed not right about the whole complaint. I would have liked to have spoken to him and sorted the matter out but the officers broke in and he was told to leave….

    It goes on and on

  47. on 28 Jan 2010 at 2:40 pm TheSloth

    Erm… just wondered whether anyone else had noticed that under the instructions for his ‘Resuscitation Method’ he calls it:

    “the Kadir-Buxton Jump Start (formerly Buxton Jump Start)”

    Now… whilst I realise that assumption if the mother of all cock-ups… doesn’t a formally single surname changing to a double-barrelled surname suggest that someone may have married this guy?

    The best bit about his police complaint

    I had been standing in the middle of the square, with no one near me and a tiny data camera in my hand down by my side – in no way a nuisance. The woman I photographed was part of a couple walking along the line of shops on one side of the road. They looked suspicious – watching me with exaggerated behaviour. Indeed, they began to cut across the middle, began to U-turn, and brushed past me to the other side in the opposite direction. I stood on the same spot and took the picture with the camera down in my hand without moving, no flash and only the faintest of sounds. This is not illegal and not being a nuisance. CCTV will back me up. The couple shouldn’t have noticed.

    Nuts!

    Searching K-B’s site for pure, untarnished nuggets of stupid is a little like carpet bombing a barrel full of fish. But I particularly loved this gem, on the subject of digging geothermal wells:

    As far as the cost of such a project is concerned, the recent Aachen bore hole was dug to a depth of 2.5 kilometres in three months, so we can assume that it would take just a year to get down to a depth where the rocks are at the temperature of three times boiling point. Figures available on the internet say that a bore hole of 5.54 kilometres costs £4.7 million, which equates to £8.5 million for a ten kilometre bore hole.

    Extrapolation FAIL.

    Alistair Darling is the clown in charge at the moment. It’s best to refer to him simply as ‘the Chancellor’. Because referring to him by his first OR second name by itself just makes one sound gay. And I don’t think things improve if you use both names together, either, because for men, when saying his full name out aloud you need to intonate it very carefully to avoid feeling uncomfortable. I mean that those with vivid imaginations might not be able to prevent their minds from wandering and conjuring up unwanted mental scenarios such as the Chancellor asking them: “Would you like me to sprinkle some brown sugar on your cereal?” to which they reply “Thanks, Alistair, Darling”. In other words, the ghastly thought that looms large for any man who is saying the Chancellor’s full name out loud is that you are in fact on first name terms with him and are actually speaking to him right there. Aaaaaaaaaaargh!! (I don’t know whether it’s just me, but whenever I hear a male journalist say the name ‘Alistair Darling’, in my mind I can always hear a comma in between the two words – and it doesn’t matter how they say it, it always seems like they know him rather well.)

    No – the best bit is the celebrity big brother one – amazing

    Jodie sat up and said something like ‘Alright, alright… ‘ (as if ‘Alright, alright, take THIS!’) and she defiantly said just one word loud and clear – MY NAME! Michael didn’t seem to hear and carried on for a bit longer.

    A celebrity hadn’t just mentioned my name to another, but mentioned it in heated argument, under attack, as the ultimate weapon of last resort! As a crucifix to ward off the vampire! “If I mention the name of that X man, you’ll run! If I let out the big secret you’ll run!”

    I recorded the repeat of this programme which was broadcast a few hours later, at 2.55am on Channel 4. But when I watched the recording I realized that they had now edited that few seconds out! They had edited the repeat showing of Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth just to stop one word being broadcast – my name!

    The jump start/kickstart vaguely reminds me of a technique I saw in a book on hapkido a while back. It advocated thumping someone quite hard between the shoulderblades to get them breathing again. Mind, it also warned against hitting too hard…

    Said book also contained something far more amusing: two methods for “testicle revival” (to be used when someone’s had their danglers kicked up into their pelvis), one of which – I kid you not – consisted of sitting the afflicted person down, placing your hands on their shoulders and “lightly” kicking them in the sacrum. Apparently this helps jolt the testicles down. Sounds about as mental as the kickstart, and only slightly more pleasant to the patient. (Of course, I can’t say whether being kicked in the tailbone is worse than having your bollocks kicked up into your pelvis, mostly because I don’t have testicles.)

    Yes, I was wondering whether Andy was more like Reed Richards or Adrian Veidt. His martial arts expertise, and the fact he has a method named after him, would favour the latter.

    Youtheyme, however, is everyone out of Heroes, apparently.

    The Kadir-Buxton version of this maneuver would involve urethral entry up to the forearm followed by a basketball player’s downward slap. Any discomfort may be relieved with vigorous buttock-battering.

    Favourite moments from AKB’s career:

    “Finally, the patient should be taken to hospital as soon as possible as there is a reason for them dying in the first place, which should be treated.”

    “All I then had to do was wait until I came across a dead body, and the rest is history.”

    Incidentally, shamefully, AKD hails from the same town as I do. Even more shamefully, I see that the local paper of my former hometown once wrote an article about his which described him as a “local boffin”. I think they must have stupid in the water. At least since I left.

    I’m a bit less comfortable about the Youtheyme stuff. Sounds suspiciously like someone with proper, unfunny paranoid delusions. And unlike AKD, their lunacy does not make them a happy bunny.

    There is serious mental illness there, I think. That comic is fine work though. Might be his own, he mentions somewhere that he left college and couldn’t make it as a painter.

    Spike Milligan was a comic genius who could go mildly off his rocker occasionally. Nowhere near as bad as that Youtheyme guy though.

    The following photographs were taken on October 1st, 2003 by me. I was raised and baptized in this Unitarian Universalist congregation. It was built in approximately 1970. The chapter was founded by people such as Gertrude Schweitzer (born Gertrude Weiskar), her husband Stanley (also known as Adolph Schicklegruber Hitler), Jean Bouricius (also known as Eva Braun) and her husband Willard….

    Medication rhymes with dedication, which was the song that Roy Castle used to sing on Record Breakers, which was a show on BBC1, which rhymes with gone, which is what happens to you according to the Western world when you’ve been renditioned. That makes sense.

    I think Sumon is right. You they me us everywhere.

    By the way, having read this, I think that Sumon is actually properly schizophrenic. Word-compounding, rhyming, alliteration, assonance…

    I’m definitely going to get some T-Shirts printed with the slogan “I believe Andy Kadir-Buxton is real!” with a photograph of said visionary emblazoned on the front.

    And @Mal, personally I think it’s more likely to turn to be a brussel sprout…

    @ TheSloth you clearly haven’t been following the plot closely enough – apparently our dear Andy convinced a lovely asian lady with the surname Kadir to marry him :)

  81. on 28 Jan 2010 at 11:38 pm Nelson

    I guess, as there’s always a solid core of unimaginative types who don’t even believe the HYS lot are for real, it’s not surprising there’s doubt about dear old Andy. Normally I’m happy to let it go. I don’t want to be the cunt who forces you to confront the awful reality. With Andy though, it’s different. A world with Andy in it is better, not worse.

    Your hypothesis appears to be that he’s a comic genius who wrote one properly, laugh-out-loud hilarious website and then decided to throw everyone off the scent by pretending to be a real bloke who enjoys boring the internet shitless about nothing in particular, every day, month in, month out, for years.

    Mine is that he’s a real, live, happy, glorious, human nutcase.

    William of Occam says you’re a boring shit and that he’d rather spend eternity stuck in a lift with RedRoseAndy than an evening in the pub with you.

    Nelson, if we ever have a get-together of SYB contributors, I want you to guarantee that Andy Kadir-Buxton and his wonderful lady wife will be guests of honour – I’d love to buy that man a pint (and a Babycham for the missus)

    What worries me more is how the fuck you lot find these sites. Have you got nothing better to do?

    Actually, I’m lying. AKB has managed to find at least two corpses to stamp on. I think that worries me a little more.

    Neil, you don’t have to hide behind pseudonyms. We all know you’re a silent fan, along with john Adair and 1984ReturnsForReal.

    We also all know you’re a crabby little ball-hair. But we love you, in a way. The kind of way that makes people want to euthanise dying pets so they don’t mess up the carpet and cost a fortune in vet’s bills, but that’s still a way.

  89. on 29 Jan 2010 at 9:34 am EviltheCat

    @ Ceannair

    To be fair though, the Youtheyme guy does make some reasonable points:

    On the Royal family

    How can you all stand by, and even dance, to the tune of these naff old racists?

    On James Bond

    As for Bond, Daniel Craig’s pout is ludicrous

    It’s just that, like a new undergrad attempting a little too hard to bring all their brilliant thoughts about the classics seamlessly into one essay, the way he ties it all toether is proper distilled mental.

    AKB’s opinions on religion are pretty awesomely weird too. Take from one of his Guardian comments:

    “I can only speak for Christians but I did not become a Christian because of stress, but because following the way Jesus Christ lived is the best way we have devised. Being a Born Again Christian actually increases stress as Satan wants us dead one way or another. You should see how the ex-family reacts when you give all your money to the poor, it is well worth doing.”

    I like how he tries to make it sound like he used science and logic to determine that Christianity is the best.

    It could be old work. Highly creative people are no less prone to delusional behaviour or mental breakdowns than anyone else (possibly more so). He might be off his meds for some reason. The “photos of young women” thing looks to be more about an obsession with being constantly followed and observed than sexual deviancy. Hope the poor sod gets some treatment.

    I reckon he’s real. There are definitely people that crazy out there – I used to work for an MP (don’t worry, I got better) and this rather amiable bloke kept phoning up to say he’d invented something to solve all the world’s energy problems. Apparently you needed to drill a hole down to the Earth’s core and pump seawater in, and the heat would somehow split the water into hygrogen and oxygen which could be recombined to produce electricity. We gave him details of how to patent the invention but he said he didn’t want to do it because the patent office would steal it.

    Fuck me, do you think I was talking to the man himself?
