Thats a whole lot of hole!

How many times have you thought to yourself: "I'm bored, i think I'll dig a giant hole in my garden." ?

No, am I all alone on this one? Apparently not...

The Hole


This man scares me a ever so slightly mind you...

How to tackle those non team players

Yes we have all had to work with them, the collegue thats not pulling their weight, the collegue that flaunts the office rules, the lazy, non recycler. But now there is hope for us, in the shape of Terry Tate, office linebacker...

Terry Tate, office Linebacker

Oh how I long to have him here...


*this site has since stopped working - I will try to locate the video's elsewhere so keep an eye out for them here*

Good Job too! i was desperate!!!

Well never let it be said that the internet is not a strange place. This site is an online toilet... What? Yeah thats right an online conveniance, where you can read todays news or just browse the graffiti on the walls... Hey dont look at me, I didnt design it!!!

Online toilet

very strange...

Just for streess monkeys out there!!

and yes that DOES include me!

Bubble wrap Fun!!!

What a great idea, though it still doesnt quite compare to the real thing, cant quite de-stress with the mouse!

It made my eyes bleed...

Van Helsing.....

If ever there was a case of a film that shouldnt have been made its this one!
Why oh why did they feel they had to cram in every single victorian monster story???

We had Jekyl and Hyde, Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolves, Igor..... and for some insane reason Van Helpuke was allegedly the Angel Gabriel, though conveniantly he had forgotten that small fact.

Add to that the terrible script, awful plot, and dreadful special effects and you've got a film worthy of the nearest shredder.

A classic case of film makers relying to heavily on the special effects team, which in this case let them down catastrophicaly. It was, as a friend of mine commented;

"like watching a Hammer House of Horror movie on steroids!"

This movie goers advice is to miss it entirely.

Ansari X Prize: SpaceShipOne launches 21st June

Looks like we will have the world's first commercial space flight by
the end fo the month!!!

MOJAVE GEARS UP FOR HISTORIC SPACE FLIGHT
10 June 2004
The Mojave Airport in California is preparing for the thousands of
spectators that are expected to witness the world's first private
manned space flight there on June 21. X PRIZE team Scaled Composites plans to
launch one pilot aboard SpaceShipOne into space as a precursor for
future X PRIZE competitive flights.
"Landing SpaceShipOne safely is the number one issue on our mind," said Director Bob Rice to Space.com.
"We're dealing with parking locations right now. We can fit only so
many cars. We've got plans for everything. And yes, there will be T-shirts."

Strange comparisons...

Ok, so they are both planes and they both hurtle through the sky way to high and fast! But come on... really... Im fairly sure I know the differences between a glider and a fighter plane.

Perhaps the question should be is why oh why has this man devoted so much time in the pursuit of this comprehensive comparison.

There is one funny quote however:

"The F-14 can down multiple enemy aircraft from a perch in a different time zone and also perform a devastating ground attack, but it glides like a Coke machine and only comes in gray—factors that seriously limit its recreational soaring appeal."

Heheheh... have a read for yourself at: http://www.flyaboveall.com/willswing_grumman.htm

A sporting weekend!

Well what a lineup for the weekend... Im even quite excited myself and im no huge sports fan!

Sunday evening: THE BIG ONE... England vs France in the European Championships. Englands first game in a bid to win Euro 2004.

Bookies William Hill are giving odds of 200-1 on a clean sweep and I must say Im tempted to put a fiver on it! What a return! £1000!!!!

Other than that we will be seeing our friends Mark and Sue, with whom we havent had a good old natter with for some time, so thats long over due. We may catch a movie though Im not sure whats out this weekend...

Summer Games... Medals Won!

What a weekend!

We Rollerbladed over to a friends house at around 2pm on bank holiday Monday. I of course left them all in my dust and arrived 20 mins before anyone else!!! heheh amateurs!

Upon arrival we were immediately thrust into the afternoons games, which included the following:

Hoop Throwing (coits?)
Boules
Feed the Goat (Penalty shootout)
Giant lawn darts (stand well clear of Nikala during this one!)
Wine Tasting
Target Putting
Boules (doubles)
Hoop Throwing (doubles)

Then a huge BBQ... phew with around 30 people it was a long long day and the competition was fierce.

I am proud to say I did actually win the wine tasting competition but humbly stood aside for the other joint winner and ....sniff didn't even get a mention during the award ceremony... so I wont be letting anyone win again I can tell you, bah no recognition there! Not that Im bitter at all grrr!
Still I was able to redeem myself in the Boules. Sadly however it was doubles and I was carried most of the way... sigh.
All other events I was out in the first or second rounds, a pretty poor performance all round really. But at least I won the wine tasting! Even though no one else knew!

After a long and arduous day, we finally trudged home after 10pm... we had been competing for over 8 hours!

Still I have one medal hanging on my noticeboard now; the first I've ever had I might add.
