Video of the Week

with 2 comments

I think this is the first time I’ve posted a video of the week from an ‘amateur’ but I love this acoustic cover of Flobot’s Handlebars.

And if you want to see/hear the original, you can check it out at this link; they don’t allow embedding.

[Updated] SYTYCD Predictions

without comments

I hate to do two posts so close together but whilst here (in CA) we don’t yet know who are the first two to leave the top 10 (well, top 9 + Komfort) I wanted to go on record with my final 4 prediction:

  • Final 2 guys – Will and Twitch
  • Final 2 girls – Katee and Chelsea

My final two prediction in a week or two.

Oh – going home tonight? Er, Mark and Komfort

[Update] Ok, America got it 100% wrong. Actually I was split between Mark and Gev but no way should Kherrington have left tonight. Shame on you all who voted for Komfort. But, it doesn’t affect my final 4 prediction.

Things I’ve Changed My Mind About

without comments

On the drive home tonight I realised that there are several things that I have completely changed my mind about over time:

  1. nuclear power
  2. growing crops in the desert
  3. the death penalty

I am sure there are more but right now those are the best I can come up with.

Phrase of the Week

with one comment

Courtesy of my Dad this weekend:
You should get an electric lawn mower, they are as cheap as chips.

[Note that chips here refers to fries, though chips (which we call crisps) are also cheap].

Friday Video: Puppet Theatre Outtakes

without comments

Even in the puppet theatre world, the actors can have a bad day. Sometimes you know the old joke too well to be able to do it the new way. And other times, you just have idiots for stars. You decide.
