Happy 100th Blog posting to meeeeee

Here's to a 100 more...!

Sky full of snow

Classic piece of TV from earlier in the week!
Can't believe the bloke took it so well to be honest, - some of them shots must have hurt. He'll never live it down that's for sure!!

"Deck the Halls..."

It that time of year again where the Christmas decorations are starting to go up. We'll be doing ours this weekend, and some job it'll be too! As if we didn't have enough lights on the go last year, - we also bought a shed load more in the sales last January!!
I'll have to drag my father-in-law round to help me with the ones for the outside of the house which he'll no doubt be overjoyed at! At least I can tell him it's his daughter's fault ;o)

Anyway, - get a look at this house. There's just no competing with that!!! (It needs sound and it's worth watching for a couple of minutes)

"I'm a Layydee", "Yay a kno", etc etc

Went to see "Little Britain Live" last week, and it was absolutely Brilliant!

We weren't sure what to expect compared to the TV show, i.e. how would they cope with the costume changes etc, but they surpassed all our expectations. They were on stage for about one and half hours in total and they literally used every character (except 'Dennis Waterman' of course as that wouldn't have worked live!).

They started with 'Lou and Andy' and the encore perfance was 'The Only Gay in the Village'. I think everyone's favourite scene on the night though was 'Vicky Pollard' simply because Matt Lucas kept slipping into a Geordie accent whilst doing the sketch.

The 'Maggie and Judy' sketch where Maggie spews everywhere was also brilliantly worked out. This sketch came just before the interval so that they had time to clean the stage before moving on!!

They pushed the limits of taste even further than they do on the TV; In the 'Sebastian & Michael' sketch David Walliams stripped off completely!!

By half way through I was crying with laughter and by the end my cheeks were sore!
Must give a special thanks to Ross and Pinar for getting us the tickets.

Ap0logies for picture quality, - phone couldn't cope very well with the bright stage lights and the dark theatre.

"Lost" - coincidence...??

This post probably won't mean a lot if you're still watching series 1 of 'Lost' and haven't reached the episode about Hurley, titled 'Numbers'. Actually if that's the case stop reading now, - although this isn't a spoiler as such, it will give away the jist of the Hurley episode.

You've been warned so now read on if you want...
Here are the winning Irish Lottery numbers from Saturday 19th November;

I'm not going to say anymore than that, because if you watch Lost that should be enough info to freak you out already!!

Cheaper than ebay

A friend of mine is selling a Palm Pilot and DVD writer that are both in really good condition if anyone is interested. Palm Pilot £40, DVD Writer £15. Attached are a couple of photos to show what condition they're in, let me know if you want more info or photos;

Apologies for this one!

This year's Xmas Number 1 ??

This song's been played quite a few times on Radio1 this week. Sounds really odd the first time, but it gets really catchy. Good website if nothing else anyway...!

Wrong to find this funny?!?

No words needed for this one, but it's guaranteed to make your day!

New Phone

Can also make you a cup of tea!

Took delivery of our new mobile phones yesterday, - the Nokia N70. I did a lot of looking round and biding my time before opting for this model; I knew whatever I chose had to be 3G compatible as it is starting to take off now...at last! The only problem we have at the minute is the limited coverage in our area, - check out this coverage map; 3G_Coverage.JPG. Coverage is very limited where we live, but then again most of our video calls will be made when we're out of the house in areas which are in fact covered.
So the phone has all the bells and whistles we required plus a few things which make it stand out, i.e. a 2 Megapixel camera - which is really good on a phone and it is also capable of receiving Orange TV!!
As usual, -we just have to figure out how to work the things now.....

A great one for people with kids

This is so simple but has endless posibilities. It's kind of an electronic time capsule, where you can type an e-mail to send to yourself at a later date.
Other companies offer this service but there's always the danger that they'll cease to exist when it's due to be sent. However given that this one is from Forbes, at least it's got some good backing.
There's also obviously the problem of maintaining your e-mail address so it's probably better to use a webmail address rather than an isp address which you will more than likely change.

It would be great for someone with young kids who could type an e-mail to send to themselves in 10 or 20 years time :o)

Coincidence or Fate??

Year 1981
1. Prince Charles got married
2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe
3. Australia lost the Ashes
4. Pope Died

Year 2005
1. Prince Charles got married (again)
2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe (again)
3. Australia lost the Ashes
4. Pope Died

In future, if Prince Charles decides to re-marry and Liverpool
wins another European crown, someone better warn the Pope!!

There are loads of these kicking about but most of them are done in Photoshop and look completely fake. These two are canny though; GULP.JPG ARGHHH.JPG

"Hmmm, much fear I sense in you"

What next? - Sharks IN the Tyne?!?

You might have seen this one in the North East news last week; An 8 foot long Porbeagle Shark was caught only 15 miles off the River Tyne!

Another result of global warming?!?

Balls

This is canny - if you've got broadband in order to wait for the download.

Sony wanted a special kind of advert in order to advertise their new range of LCD TV's in the States. So someone came up with the idea of dropping 250,000 multi-coloured bouncy balls down the steep streets of San Francisco!

Got to be every kids dream and I would have loved to have seen it.
