I was made aware of this by Pauly G about a year ago, and he reminded me of this yesterday.
For the second time, it’s made me laugh for a solid 5 minutes. Alas, this time I was at work. But it was worth it.
Seriously, I mean… can you imagine? What would you do?
Toodles,
Pat
Feeling: Tired, but amused

Yep. Going to Thorpe Park midweek in the middle of October is the best possible time to go. Longest wait all day: 20 mins for the Nemesis Inferno… and only cos there were so few people there they had one train running rather than two.
Rides gone on in the space of 4 hours:
I love Wednesdays off :)
Pat
Feeling: Less dizzy than earlier :-)
Song in Head: Example – Watch the Sun Come Up
BEST FIND OF THE DAY (and also “Best thing in the world”, but I think I might’ve already got 30 of those):
One additional thing to say:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks Jimbo :-)
Pat
Feeling: Amused beyond rational thought
Song in Head: Scooter – The Night. Yep. I went there.
Oh yes, I just did that title. It’s not as disappointingly lame, however, as the subject in question.
Watchdog.
On the BBC.
A few years ago I enjoyed watching it – it was informative, it got things done and was a good watch.
Now either I’ve got massively more intelligent or this show has gone downhill faster than a freewheeling wheelbarrow full of lead on a 50% incline.
Honestly. It’s 80% bullshit “hilarious” skits, 5% studio audience opinion, 5% awful presenter “chatting”, 5% meaningless “tests”/”proof” and… oh… 5% actual investigation into issues. These investigations seem so one sided I am spending some of the show actually feeling angry for those being accused.
I have admittedly only seen 30 minutes of this, but it does seem to be aimed at an ex-X Factor audience who found Cowell’s show “a bit hard to grasp”.
Bloody awful, BBC. Must try harder.
Pat
Feeling: Annoyed
Song in Head: Nowt…
EDIT: I’ve watched a bit more of this and in their credit they did clarify some stuff on the Digital Switchover that was actually of use. Perhaps I’m being a bit too harsh on it – but it does seem to be rather production/shit heavy and content light…
This is amazing:
All real. This guy paints himself. Just… awesome!
Pat
Feeling: Like he should’ve been blogging a touch more often
Song in Head: Mr Hudson – Supanova
Oh FFS Glade, You Are Heralding The End of Humanity
Yep, I was informed by a colleague who shall remain nameless that this advert existed. I am saddened deeply that she – er, or he – didn’t make it up.
However, it did allow the THIS AMAZING SPOOF to be created. It’s good to see people in this busy world have at least 2 minutes to dedicate to spoofs nowadays… oh, do not click on the Exorcist style one, by the way. Certainly not at work. Or at home. Or anywhere. It’s just unpleasant.
BUT WAIT – all is not lost, because…
…In Newcastle, the phrase “Doing a Poo at Pauls” refers to sleeping with your mate’s girlfriend. This is so hilarious that it almost makes up for the advert’s existence.
Can anyone confirm or deny this last point please? :-)
Feeling: Appauled and amused in equal measures.
Song in Head: Pendulum – Propane Nightmares
PCs are now dead to me. I’m getting a Mac.
Good Actual Lord. This is the worst fucking thing I have ever had to watch. And I’ve seen Norbit.
Pat
So yes, I might possibly just agree with him on this.
Alas, I’m using Firefox on Ubuntu to write this. And you know what? Ubuntu’s pretty good, but it’s not got the software Windows has on it, yet. You could – and I would – argue the same for Mac OS X too… but I guess it’s an unfair comparison cos at least I can chuffing well run Linux or Windows on my worth-about-£250-new laptop rather than having to buy a MacBook that costs £899 just to run Mac OS X.
What’s that? It’s really stable and supports all the hardware? Is that, perchance, because “all the hardware” involves about 60 different components?
Right, let me stop here. I really, really dislike the cost of Macs and I hate Apple’s stance when it comes to its (insanely loyal) customers, but no point continuing with this. I don’t much like Microsoft’s either, but hey, as I say – I’m using Ubuntu.
Yep, that’s Ubuntu Linux. It’s soooo much better than Windows.
HA!
Pat
Feeling: Like he should start the ironing
Song in Head: Nowt!
Can you imagine what The Watchmen would be like if converted into a kid’s cartoon series?
Well, if you can imagine it, you’re probably not imagining something as fully awesome as what someone’s actually made:
Sound is most definitely required. Thanks to Dave Smith for making me aware of this :)
