Who's the Bear?

Bear Grylls is a total waste of time and money! Even if he is a Record Breaker!

Did you see it where he crossed this big dessert? Not sure which one it was?

He had a helicopter over head filming him for god’s sake. He knows that if he ever gets in trouble he will be fine.

They show him eating raw snakes and beetles, but why? I bet he goes back to a camp and tucks into croissants and caviar. Perhaps a knob of stilton with that Bear.

Whilst in the desert he also killed a camel to make a bed out of. Again! Why? Like he'll be sleeping under its skin! Balls! He’ll be in his 300 quid baby duck down sleeping bag.

I don't like him. He is a cheat.

I'd love to see Ray Mears duff him up!

Ray Ray Ray Ray Ray.....

Smack!

They say lightening never strikes twice.

They were right, but it did strike once.

We were having a meeting in our boardroom yesterday and it started to thunder and lightening.

A couple of massive claps later and 'crack'! Lightening struck our building.

It was ace! You saw the flash then a second later there was an almighty smack as it hit a floor above.

We should really expect it as the roof of our building has 4 to 5 thousand mobile antennas.

See if you can get struck, its really is great fun.

Here til 2020!

I had the most amazing thought last night.

Sir The Right Honorable Andrew Lloyd Webber has written 13 musicals.

That means that for the next 11 years he will own BBC 1 on Saturday nights and for that matter Sunday nights.

You honestly can't believe how incredibly happy and excited I am.

Hopefully he will write a few more over that period so I reckon he will still have his claws in the BBC until 2020. What a wonderful thought.

And how lovely, a bi-product of this means Graham Norton will be there at his side.

Thanks Graham

Schmidt Hot!

Well I never did.

As I have been on my travels recently I have spotted a lovely set of poster advertising Citroen cars.

And what a lovely set of posters they are.

The above is simply delightful, but I think my favourite is a similar look but the headline is 'Schmidt Hot'.

If I was looking, I think this would make me visit a Citroen showroom.

Well done Citroen. Great thinking!

The Portishead

Nobody loves me, it's true, not like you do.

Well, that was what Beth Gibbons sang to me last night. I had to put her right on a few points, but i think we worked it out.

You see I went down to see The Portishead play in beautiful Brixton town and might i say it has made me question live music.

They were really very good. Mrs Gibbons is amazing, her voice is incredible, but you can't really go and stand for 90 minutes just listening to music.

There needs to be other things there to entertain you. Whether that be an incredible stage show, you dancing, you singing loudly, you punching the air in time to the music, you just lightly jigging to a baseline, you pogoing. You need more than music.

With The Portishead there was none of the above and that is why I write.

Yes, the tunes were wonderful. Yes, her voice was incredible. But you need more to do. You end up just chatting and not really paying full attention.

In hindsight i would have much preferred sitting. Then you can just sit in wonder, as i had done several weeks ago when i saw John Michael Jarre in the Albert Hall. He was astonishing by the way.

So, from this point forward I will be questioning before I order tickets to gigs.

But well done The Portishead. You looked rather old, a bit like Genesis, but you were good.

Congrats

Plug it in, plug it in.

I was in town last night and I saw my very first plug in car.

With all the moving forward we as a world our doing I love how awfully basic this is.

We all remember how disappointing it was when the batteries ran out on your favourite electronic game or your bestest remote control car suddenly stopped. I wonder if the drivers of these vehicles feel the same way when their batteries die.

What I also love is the design of the car itself. Check out its svelte curves, its audaciously streamlined cockpit.

Again, with all the advancements we are making in car manufacture and design you would think they could come up with something better than this.

It looks like the designers used the boxes of the aforementioned bestest remote control car.

If it looked good this idea just might take off.

I wonder if it has a slot for triple A's?

The best thing you can plug in since Glade air fresheners.

Buster Blood Vessell

It was a an incredible sight on Sunday.

To see an 101 year old man running the marathon! I ask you! 101 years old! Running! 26 miles!

But, it would appear that he isn't 101 at all.

So The Guinness Book of Records won't put him in as it would appear he is only 94!

It was a an incredible sight on Sunday.

To see a 94 year old man running the marathon! I ask you! 94 years old! Running! 26 miles!

Well done Buster, but poor poor Buster!

CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT!
