Chewbacca, what a wookiee!

I accidentally clicked on the ‘view videos of me’ on Facebook thing; and found these two amusing clips from Children in Need last year which made me chuckle.  Basically I spent the day dressed as Chewbacca for, well, if you had the chance, you just would, wouldn’t you?

And the [...]

Is this the most sinister advert ever?

Now, I ain’t no prude… quite the opposite in general – but this advert popped on to telly the other night and flummoxed me completely.  It’s disturbing.  Disturbing and wrong.  Isn’t it?  This is actually the French version, but the one I saw was pretty much the same.

In other news I [...]

Concrete karma..

Oh this made me chuckle; which is perhaps a little macabre, since the urban mythology surrounding the clip suggests that the oik in question ended up with an amputation.  However, rarely has 14 seconds of grainy footage so beautifully illustrated the wonderful moments when one is punished instantly for one’s actions; and indeed, that the [...]

Play your didgeridoo, Blue..

It was an interesting weekend of randomness for me and Rich, which started early in the morning with him picking me up in order to head down to London.  Unfortunately the SatNav decided it didn’t want to work in Mum’s car, so we ended up opting to drive to Hendon and get the Tube into [...]

Soccer AM shenanigans…

Rich writes much more eloquently than I could about our revisitation of Soccer AM. I’ve not gotten around to watching/encoding most of the show, but here’s the bit where we’re introduced near the start of the show. Before it gets removed from YouTube, anyway!

And that’s why if you type [...]

An informative televisual interview…

Can you spot the theme developing here?  Fear not, ’tis the last one – the cheeky monkeys who collated the highlights for Boots managed to sneak the bit where I ‘bunny-eared’ Des Coleman from the DVD they sent to us though, the little minxes!

Still, it’s all good fun!

It’s too orangey for crows, it’s just for me and my dog!

Since looking at my weblogs, it seems I end up with loads of hits from back when I uploaded an MPEG of the old Kia-Ora advert from days of yore.  I remember having to remove it as it was linked on a number of forums and made my mate’s server nearly melt!  So for those [...]

Skydiving

Skydiving is awesome – it’s definitely something I’d like to do again.  As you can see from the video when I did it, the weather was somewhat overcast – I’d love to do it again on a clear day – so perhaps I will.

Bungee jumping!

 
I’d long harboured an ambition to bungee jump from a bridge over water, since this has always been illegal in the UK as we’re such an overly health and safety oriented society, I was always reasonably secure that my boasts of wanting to do so would never come to fruition.  However, [...]

Firewalking!

In a charity event Jonny and I achieved the exciting feat of walking barefoot over hot coals – and here’s the evidence.  Should any folks wish to try it (and I strongly recommend it – seriously!), then check out the NRSB website, where there will be details of future fundraising events.  [...]
