Is this a meme yet?



Hope so. Got me wanting to do forward rolls in the front garden.

The secret of success.

A Monty Burns motivational recording for his insurance sales force.

A life in 3 minutes 34 secondos....

I have absolutely no idea what any of this is about.





All I know is, I just couldn't hit the stop button.

If you stop this video before the end, leave a COMMENT below. You are a better, stronger person than I.

How To Fold A T-Shirt

Fast Folding: How To Fold A T-Shirt In 2 Seconds - Explained

Ram the boob.

It's a bit like Hole In The Wall. Same all in body suits... but still requires different skills.

Is it just a very surreptitious piece of product placement for HP Hewlett Packard?

(do they make Electric Shock Wet suits?)

Come to think of it - why didn't the bikini lady get "ELECTRIC SHOCK" at the same time.

Amazing music

Swine Flu Shot - Tamiflu and zanamivir (Relenza)

We demand Basketballs on the NHS.



Swine Flu? Man, I'm to HIGH to let it catch me.

(update - dammit - every time I link to something here, it ends up getting removed... time to keepvid it myself and not tag anything?)

The Shuffle

Yes. When you think of Music Mike, how can you not think of "The Shuffle"

Ponch's Disco

Dschingis Khan.

You all know the hits "Dschinghis Khan" and "Moskau"...

RED vs Film

Not sure if this is a viral for Kodak or not, but either way it's bloody funny.

Spot the Difference

Is it only me or has anyone else seen Michael McIntyre moonlighting in BBC2's credit crunch hippy chic show Grow Your Own Drugs or was it James Wong judging the dancing on Comic Relief ? I'll let you decide

Never wake a sleepwalking dog

Vanessa Hudgens selling vibrators

This... is... a vibrator for teenage girls... isn't it?

Kit Curran: update

I know I'm the only one who cares, but here's some audio from Kit Curran, including the theme tune, which was released on 7" - "Ultra Fantastico". Love it.

"Eating doesn't get any harder than this..."

There something increasingly smug about this ex greengrocer, sorry I mean "ingredients expert"

Bad Day In Graphics

One of the comments on youtube:

WTF... do we hamsters all look the same to you people?

Dairy Milk Rip Off

You may remember at the end of last year I posted the following video doing the rounds on Youtube of a Japaneese fella with electrodes strapped to his face, that in turn "twitched" his face in time with the music. Something that has become something of "a youtube phenomenon"

Well looks like the folks at Cadbury's "un" creative agency Fallon, have once again borrowed a good idea from youtube for their own gains. No electrodes attached - (there are probably Health and Safety laws preventing them from doing that to children) but with a bit of CGI and a classic 80's soundtrack they have created the same effect in their new advert for Dairy Milk

Here's the original



and here is their version....which is better? answers on a postcard

great advertising

English Bands In Unusual Circumstances...

We've got some palm trees and an Edit Desk. Let's make a show!




It's like something familiar, but it looks slightly different. The microphones are a bit too bit, or there's a random thing at the beginning.
I will turn this into a blog in its own right.

I Wanna Live Next Door To This Guy

He'd be all like that man off Police Academy it'd be ace.

Ringham (belated) RIP

We should certainly remember him, but Ringham's not the only one who's late. Why publish the obit this week? And where's the sub-editor at?

Jonathan Ross on twitter

Or is he???

the good old boys in ballina.......

Ballina

The town has some notable architecture, including the 15th-century Moyne Abbey, and St Muredach's Cathedral, which is the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of Killala. Work on the Cathedral began in 1827. The stone was quarried locally and the roof and ceiling were completed before the Great Famine (1845). The spire was completed in 1855 and by 1875 the organ had been commissioned.
