Quiz time . . .
The BBC has posted a couple of quizes today, one on sporting rules and the other on sitcoms.
I managed a pair of pathetic scores of 1 on sporting rules (!) and 5 on Sitcoms . . . surely you can all do better?
New Star Trek trailers, now available
New Star Trek trailers, now available: I’m probably not quite as excited for the new Star Trek movie as I am for Watchmen but it will be nice to see a new, fresh and re-imagined version of Star Trek after 20 years of the same formula being re-re-re-re-re-re-hashed … and the Trailer’s not bad either. Full marks to Simon Pegg for the comedy Scotty accent 😉
Kitty Cat Hitches Ride on Back of a Roomba
Kitty Cat Hitches Ride on Back of a Roomba: Welcome to the anthisis of the previous post … a cat sat on a running Roomba. Now I don’t know if I’m just overly anthropomorphisising (real word or too many endings?) here but it looks to me like this cat is perfectly happy accepting this lift, but is somewhat bemused that he’s not ending up anywhere new or interesting, like at the food bowl.
Police and teachers on BNP list
Police and teachers on BNP list:
So a bunch of people are members of a an organisation that either a) they’re not allowed to be, b) they’re ashamed of being and c) apparently is pretty lacking in it’s data security procedures.
I have zero sympathy for any of these racist bastards being outed as being racist bastards …
IT Crowd third season starts on Friday!
IT Crowd third season starts on Friday!: Oh hell yes 😉
Hubdub.com – free money ;-)
A friend recommended a site to me a couple of days ago, www.hubdub.com
The basic idea is to bet on the outcome of various news and sports stories . . . the fun thing is you can go nuts with it because there’s no real money involved. You can also set-up your own bets and publish them. Harmless fun or another route into chaos, drugs and organised crime 😉
10 Gadgets That Have No Business Using a Jet Engine
10 Gadgets That Have No Business Using a Jet Engine: Clearly, this article has the wrong title … it should obviously be called “10 things you should go and do with a jet engine, NOW!”. Rather unsurprisingly Top Gear features in 2 vids 😉
Kayakers’ 300ft dam drop attacked
Kayakers’ 300ft dam drop attacked:
Clearly Welsh Water are just being killjoys here. No one else is allowed to use the lake so there was no chance of other people being hurt and, if the guys doing it had bent themselves in the process then it’s their own problem as they knew they were doing something that was, shall we say, a bit daft 😉
Looks damn good fun though …
New Watchmen Trailer
New Watchmen Trailer: Thank you ctrl-alt-del … not only for being a daily giggle and a funny online comic but for linking to the new new new Watchmen trailer – and damn if it doesn’t still look like it’s gonna be great 🙂
Someone Once Told Me
I really like the idea of this site – a photographer taking pics of people holding phrases that people once said to them … it’s one of those things that is nice, simple and just works
Todays seems to resonate quite strongly with me … the number of ideas that I’ve discussed with people in pubs and have never got around to actually doing is outrageous (to the extent that a friend and I began to believe at one point that our local pub was being bugged)
Well, I’ve finally got off my arse and got this site going again so maybe I’ll start work on at least one of the ideas I’ve currently got bubbling under the surface.
