RIP Mike.


I was deeply saddened to hear about Mike Reid's death.

And even more saddened that The Sun did not run a headline, so i have made one up!

R.I.P Mike Reid, we miss you.

To think he could have done one of these.

i is now dead.com

A website that kicks in after you die.

On the site you can put information like song for the church, cremation or burial, what you would like done with your ashes, maybe write your own little eulogy, your obituary, perhaps even leave a few words for loved ones. Leave a special gift for someone special.

Basically it is a place to put all the things you would never talk to someone about regarding your death.

Then, when you die, a friend, who you have told about the site, presses a button, and a lovely considered letter gets sent to your next of kin letting them now all they need to know. It could be hand delivered by someone with a caring face and a friendly nature.

I'm off to find me a venture capitalist.

Grand PS3rix!


A totally good thought.

Imagine this.

You buy a Formula 1 game for your PS3 or Xbox.

During a race weekend, say Silverstone, you get the opportunity to practice, qualify and race at exactly the same time as the actual practicing, qualifying and racing is going on. All the results are being fed into your game via Xbox Live or the like, all branded just like ITV's coverage.

It could work for golf aswell. Imagine the Open last week where you are having to get out of bed at 6.45am and start your round, all the shots from all the other golfers are fed into your game, it could be so magical!

Anyway, if someone knows someone who could make this possible please let them know and make loads of money out of the idea.

Lewis Hamilton is actually the child of 'The Hamiltons', his Dad, Anthony, is an actor.

Walk on.

Abba'rilliant!

A pal and i have just been watching and listening to some ABBA, and in my mind Mamma Mia is top ABBA song ever, some came close, but this has everything i could ever want in a piece of music. Everything!

And i even found this! Heavenly!

You do honestly forget how totally good they were!

Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Björn Ulvaeus, i thank you alot, an awful lot!

In the Night Garden!


Please please please, do one's self a favour and make sure you watch an episode of 'In the Night Garden'. It is a new childrens show from the makers of The Teletubbies.

It is full of cracking characters, some of which very much hark back to shows like Bagpuss and Camberwick Green. And might i say some of the names they have come up with are tremendous!

The Pontipines (my favourite) and The Wattingers are miniture folk made of wood who enjoy nothing more than waving at each other. Thats mostly what they do.

The Ninky Nonk and the Pinky Ponk are forms of transport.

Makka Pakka is an odd little chap who has a nice bike called Og-Pog.

The Tombliboos seem to do nothing but drop their trousers and kiss, whilst Upsy Daisy and Igglepiggle run around being happy and gay.

Finally, and surely having the best name in the show, The Tittyfurs are nothing else but birds who sing an odd song.

Watch it now! You will not be disappointed!

Can you carry this please?

So 2 girls were caught trying to get £300 grands worh of cocaine back into the country. Apparently a very nice man with a very nice hat, asked if they would very nicely mind carrying his very nice laptop bag through security very nicely, oh yes, and he would give them 3 grand in return. What a lovely man! A very lovely man.

Anyway, they got caught, and this is what Yasemin, one of the very nice girls, had to say...
I don't think they knew nothing about it.

Different types of buildings


Carrying on the theme of ace type check out these little beauties. Surely, some P'shopping was carried out, if not, i salute thee.

GM:TV Dinners


I think these would sell really well. Food for the ITV'ers.

'Brenda, whilst you're out, can you pick me up a couple of them GM(TV) quiches'

Perhaps he could wash the quiche down with some Cheggers Plays 'Pop'.

Lego my god that hurt!


It suddenly came back to be this morning.

The pain one experienced when one knelt on a one'er or a two'er on a Sunday afternoon spent playing Lego in the front room.

They should use this as a form of punishment. Imagine rooms full of these, then being told that you have to spend 8 hours on your hands and knees because you were bad. That'd stop'm breaking laws!

Genesis!


There i was, sitting amongst an incredible amount of 48.59 year old men with terrible dress sense, growing bellies and bald heads, when who should walk on stage but John Locke! Incredible.

Genesis!

We love you!

Smoke me a kipper!

Can i say, as a non smoker, i would honestly like to re-introduce fags back into pubs. I don't care about passive smoking, i'm sure others do, but what i do care about is haivng to drink booze in places that smell worse than Ichiban Fish Market in Scarborough. The smoke covered up the rancid stink of years of spilt beer and dead mice.

This week i have also been into a pub that had a live jazz performance. My word! I'm sure even good old Roy Castle would agree that taking out all the smoke totally takes away all the atmosphere. It was awful. No shards of light cutting the dense haze. No old men perched in ashtrays. Rubbish. I am off to the TOTP's studios to pinch all the dry ice machines. Let it smoke!

Lastly, i was wandering between pubs in Londons trendy Soho and found these wonderful things dotted around.

It is an initiative by the National Gallery to get art out into the streets. They are fabulous. And no beggers had de-faced them either which was super. Apparently there are more than 20 to find.

Thanks art

Thart!

Who owns it?


A pal and i were thinking ages ago about the term 'The' and how it can make something or someone own that name or thing.

For example, 'The Lord' can only be given to one man, Jesus. He is 'The Lord'

'The Book' can only mean one book, The Bible, so, The Bible owns the term 'The Book'.

'The Minoque' should only mean Kylie, but i am sure Danni would have a few words to say.

I only want to know The Definitives.

'The Daniels' could mean Paul or Helen or perhaps even Phil.

'The Forsyth' could be Bruce or Frederick.

However, 'The Potter' would only belong to Harry, Dennis would not stand a chance.

Have a go, its great fun.
