Can I Digg it?

With it being an extended weekend and my visit back to the UK later this evening I have declared the office ‘Dress Down Friday.’

And for this occasion I will be accessorising.

Nice hat
I’ve decided to try out a hat for the next few days/weeks/summer.

So I will be heading back to Runcorn for a few days to celebrate a birthday. And I was investigating the weather (what else is a Brit to do but worry about the weather)
Seems I’ll be missing out

 
Stop hiding Sun

Not good. Not good at all. At least my hat should keep me dry.

But your all here for your Friday Digg fix. Today’s a video fun packed feast to get you through your one day extended rainy weekend. Happy May!

We Didn’t Start the Flame War. This video should be the very first thing any new persons to teh interwebs should see. For bonus epic pwnage read the comments in Digg. How’d they do that? [video]

TV edit of Snakes on a Plane. This is how not to sound repitivie you mother f**ckers. Although it’s a fight between “monkey fighting” and “monkey frying.” Which one is it? [video]

Denise Richards’ Fun Bags. I ain’t saying no more about her Fun Bags as I’d get in trouble.

Durex Warranty. Nice design. [photo]

Japanese Food. It’ comes in very small packages. [photos]

6 Random Coincidences That Created The Modern World. I wonder the World would be if just one of these didn’t happen? [article]

A Real North West England Urban Legend. Man breeches “muscle squeeze and squat ban” (WTF??). Two words. Purple Aki! [news]

The Dark Knight 1960’s. Why so serious? [video]

Ferries Bueller Fight Club Theory. Great idea. I wish it was true. [article]

Empire State Building:Made by hands. Photos from when ESB was built. The good old Healty and Safety-less days.

Pumpcast News. News at your local gas pump. Funny skit. [video]

And finally. From this weeks popbitch, again.

 “A story about a big squirrel and a baby squirrel.”

JUMP little guy JUMP!

Digg it Friday

A few slight changes to the blog.

First I’d just like to mention that I have recently been using Microsoft Writer to compose my blog posts.
Basically Writer is a free word processor to compose your blog posts for.
It works with any blog service, blogger, wordpress, typepad. It’s easy to use. In fact it’s much easier then using a blog service composer.
You can do many things with it that you’d expect from your normal service, insert links, videos, tags (it even lists all your current tags), pictures (and even toy with how the pictures look, have a look at the ‘Apple-like reflective’ shower picture from the previous post as well as this posts rounded edge photo below) and it even automatically uploads the photos to your service. You can add many blog accounts to it and as it is an offline word processor you can write posts on your travels, save them locally (you can even save drafts online where you’d normally save blog drafts) and upload them when you have connection back. And even edit you recently posted entries.
You can also add loads of plug in’s which allow you to view your flickr page and insert images easier and even have a plug in that updates your twitter account when publishing your blog.
It takes the easy use of a MS Word/Office word processor composing and applies it to blogging.
I reckon you should give it a try. You might never write posts the same again.

Also lizardspot is moving as well. It’s now taken up a small section on twitter as to not take up space here.
Although I thought for a bit that lizardspot was going to be easy this year due to a lizard hot spot right behind our balcony.

This sloping small wall right here. I spotted two lizards in one morning the other day.

Anyway, back to resurrecting my old idea of weekly Digg updates, which will be best on Procrastinating Friday.
Don’t forget you can follow me on Digg here.

Breaking the law

A few people have told me horror stories about the policia in Spain. How not to cross them as they don't seem to have the same touchy feely approach as the police back home.

But I have found that some don't care about law as much as others...

The only thing missing from this photo is a basket of flowers and football by his side.

Happy April Fools

Happy April Fools day people. This is always one of my favourite days as I like taking part in, reading about, seeing practical jokes.

Unfortunately I haven't got the chance to carry out any practical jokes as the missus was far too asleep this morning to realise I would even be speaking to her.

But really it doesn't get any better then this

The Cottingley Fairies.

I salute you Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright, great work. Genius stuff from some creative kids.

Obviously some modern day ones are taken far too seriously, like this one from The Sun saying Fabio Capello can't be bothered learning English so has told the England squad to learn Italian.
Some of the 'Reader Comments' are pretty idiotic. Football fans at times can be a proper stupid bunch.
One fan Man United fan said "The clue is in the job title, "England Manager", if you cant lean it, take a hike!"

What has been your favourite practical joke, either in popular culture or something more personal to you?
Have you done any pranks this morning?

PS, I'd just like to add, my favourite piece of news today, in a non-joke way, is the reports of the man who lost his house over the weekend when the plane crashed in to it. With the greatest respect to the pilot and crews families, I couldn't help but smile at news that the man of the house won't be returning home just yet as he is finishing off his golfing holiday and his wife has good taste so she can do the decorating.
