Here are some interesting & funny pictures, videos and links e-mailed me by my friend Dan (from Daninthemix)…
Firstly a World Population Counter which goes up six new people every second. Very worrying if you set the predicted population to 2037!
Then there’s this disturbing link which is apparently doing the rounds on the net.
Here’s a video on how NOT to lift weights
And last but by no means least my favourite… have you ever seen anything this huge outside of a zoo?
It now seems to me that by the year 2020 the world will have 8,056,342,496 inbred freaks, wannabe macho men with broken backs and 50 stone party goers.
Thank you Dan for these funnies, if anyone else has any amusing and interesting links, e-mail me them, if I like them I’ll stick them on here. If I don’t like them they won’t appear on here and you probably won’t get a response from me.
I couldn’t help but notice the news about the Euromillions lottery. As nobody has won it for a while the jackpot for next Friday has risen to £85million. This is a sickening amount of money which I think even greedy ManU defender Rio Ferdinand would have difficulty finding a use for.
I have never played this lottery before (my twice weekly play on the National is enough for me) but with the crazy amount of money at stake I thought it was worth a one off flutter. Kind of pointless really, as if I won £85mill on Friday, for someone like me it wouldn’t make a huge amount of difference to if I won £10mill on the National one. Either way I would be stinking rich.
Good luck to whoever enters and if I don’t win I hope an owner of some orphanage gets the money, either that or a extremely generous Leeds United fan who will give manager Kevin Blackwell the whole kitty to spend. :o) :o)
I watched King Kong this evening (the new one starring Jack Black). Good film, it may have lasted 3 hours but it by no means dragged, unlike other long films like Titanic and Alexander.
This film has received some bad press so I wasn’t expecting a master piece. I think a lot of people have compared it to the original movie, which I haven’t actually seen.
Most of the film is set on Skull Island where Jack Black, a film crew and a troop from the ship which travelled to the island. They have to deal with ferocious dinosaurs, which make the ones from Jurassic Park look like Barney, some very creepy insects…. oh and a giant ape called King Kong.
King Kong is kidnapped and taken to New York, by which time he has fallen in love with the main female star Ann (played by Naomi Watts). He then inevitably escapes and wrecks havoc in New York. Hopefully I haven’t spoiled the plot line for anyone but I’m sure most of you could see it coming.
I actually found the film quite scary in places; the natives on the island were very creepy, especially when they gained entry onto the ship. Having a phobia of spiders also made the scenes with the CGI insects very uncomfortable to watch!
It was also sad in places, I never knew I would feel sympathy for a giant, hairy, stinking ape but when he died at the end of the film it was a very sombre moment for me. After all, KK never really did anything wrong, he was the one taken away from his home, imprisoned and then shot dead.
Overall a very good film, far better than I expected. Will watch again when it is released on DVD. Well done Peter Jackson, you haven’t ruined your reputation following Lord of the Rings.
So Jodie Marsh was evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house. It was obvious she was going to get the boot to be perfectly honest. George Galloway’s mate Saddam Hussein has more chance of getting all his charges dropped than Jodie did of surviving.
Anyone like me who has watched the last week of BB will know exactly why Jodie was nominated for eviction and why the public wanted her out. In a sad act she became an outcast from the group, this was all her own doing, the bitching, solemn behaviour and generally unpleasant temperament lead to her problems.
In the past I have enjoyed watching troublemakers in the BB house but Jodie was just too awful for me, she had to go and when Davina read out her name I was more than pleased.
It’s like a ski slope! How did she get in FHM?
I went to see my friend in Bristol again this evening; he is running an internet café, Wired Web Café just off the Gloucester Road. It is a good setup he has there – excellent, fresh coffee and super fast internet (there’s your free plug John).
The person in this shot is either me, my friend or, strangly as neither of us were wearing blue…. a ghost!!!
Something I find (slightly) interesting is the webcam he has setup in store. You can view it on the café website here. It refreshes every few seconds so take a look at all the chavs, students and “Gert Lush” Bristolians who use the facilities.
I’ve been a little busy of late of so that’s why there have been no blogs since Saturday. One thing I have been doing is playing on the Xbox 360…
Sunday – The EA Servers went down. Still being new to the Xbox Live lark I was unsure whether the servers were indeed down or there was something wrong with my hardware/software setup, especially as there were no reports on the EA website or forums.
The EA website suggested updating the firmware on my router, which I did. This did not solve the problem and I was left feeling aggrieved and stressed that my cool new equipment was no longer cool or working properly.
Come Monday the issue was resolved, the EA Servers were indeed down (they could have said so somewhere!) and I was back to playing online. Project Gotham Racing 3 also turned up from Play.com. In between games of Fifa I have had a few races. Will give it a proper go when I get time, I don’t feel confident to take anybody online yet though.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
