Oh My Gods…

Monday 4th February, 2008

Now here is one thing I will certainly be watching at the cinema. The original series has also finally be scheduled for release in English on DVD this year. If you still don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, then watch the video below. To a certain generation: if you haven’t watched this since you were a kid, then you may very well cry seeing it again. If you never watched this as a kid, then you’re more than likely not of a certain generation.

Sing along, everyone…

Any Question Answered

Thursday 8th November, 2007

PD: What’s Patrick Wolf’s middle name?

[1 minute later]
AQA: Patrick Wolf was born Patrick Apps on 30th June 1983 at St Thomas’ Hospital. He is a singer-songwriter from South London. He has no middle name.

Cue arguing between the gays, BL insisting that he does indeed have a middle name, and that it is *****. PD ultimately texts back:

PD: Is Patrick Wolf’s middle name *****?

[wait 10 minutes for a reply]

AQA: No, Patrick Wolf’s middle name is not *****; he does not have a middle name. There are no people living in the UK called Patrick ***** Wolf either.

At that point we though it best to just leave it. It wasn’t worth paying another pound just to upset someone.

Or so they say. I remember Roger Mellie inventing one of these years ago on Tomorrow’s World. If you’re a bit perplexed as to what this is, then it does become more obvious the further down you scroll.

My only question is, as usual, why? Why? Is this for the congenitally lazy or the impossibly busy? Either way I’ll add it to my list of reasons for why I remain eternally perplexed by self-loving rich wankers.

I found a bundle of photoshopped images on a backup CD from a few years ago. A few sound effects and…

Whilst looking for sounds I also found this genius little gimic for MacBooks, PowerBooks and iBooks that turns your laptop into a motion sensitive lightsaber.

I can just imagine the warranty claims pouring in.
