Hoot Your Trap Off

Or "Happy Halloween folks."

A short and very Halloween themed post today.

Halloween Decorations Done Good

Firstly, its good to see some people getting in to the Halloween Holiday Spirit (pun intended haha)
A house in America has been decorated with a fake plane crash outside. This has cause some concern to some Americans, and alot of confusion for the police.
I just wish there were more people like this! Great work.

Next, I wish I'd posted this yesterday, but if you get the chance to check out this blog, with a complete list of Halloween Themed tracks to download. From the likes of DJ Shadow, Gnarles Barkley to Ryan Adams (if you like that sort of thing) Alot of unknown bands, at least to me, but all free (illegally) but all good. Worth the time to download.

Well my little vampires and witches, I wish you a Happy Halloween. And beware for any asbo'd yobs thorwing eggs at your house, just give them the cookies.

I also have the beginnings of a cold sore, that should scare any kids wishing to "trick" our house. ::Cue evil laugh::

Or "I have put off stealing for a long time."

Who is Bulent Ecevit?

Or "How I like to kill my time Wednesday's"

Yesterday we finally had are broadband installed. Whooop. No more waiting to the weekend to sort through my masses of emails. (I cant access webmail from work, the only site I really need and can't access, Gmail)
I have to admit though, 90%, possible higher, of my mail is just from comments on blog.co.uk.
Makes a change from 90% being spam.

As well as having broadband installed, the TV was also upgraded to digital. Loads more TV channels, although I already have freeview in my room.
I was tipped off the other day that an old favourite of mine is being repeated on Nick Jnr.

Button Moon Weekdays 20.15 Nick Jnr

Buttonmoon! Anyone else watch this?

Instead of youtubing the opening sequence, here is a clip from the show. Enjoy!

Child hood fun.

Yesterday's episode was about a dancing bathroom and Toothbrush Jnr. Awwwww!

Another old favourite of mine is being repeated on ITV4, for those who have it.

Here is that opening sequence. See if you can guess what show it is before it reaches the end.

ITV4 Wednesday's 22:00 What show?

Here are some clues;

Good, wholesome, old TV fun! Yesssssssssss Nothing beats it.

Or "Hey big spender! Duh deh dunnuh"

The bank, they offered me a credit card. I've only been with them about a month. Are they stupid? Lets find out!

Or "I can vouch that it isn't to do with size."

Reasons I want to be a Jim Tim.

Part 2

Sweet ride.

The girlfriend of Everton/Australian footballer Tim Cahill, Rebekah Greenhil, was caught trying to park a Bugatti Veyron in central Manchester.

Or "Deep down, its what I want."

Reason's I want to be like a Jim.

Part 1

Foreign relations.

“It wasn’t because she was Welsh, it was because I thought she was stupid.”

Sweet!

Or "What do you mean Ferris Who?"

Look at this, an early post. This generally means that something happened last night or this morning that I want to get down before I forget.

There was one subjected that was on my mind while my head lay on my pillow late last night. But as I cant find out what it is that I want to say I'll talk about this morning.

As I walked through the centre I could hear the ramblings of a crowd. I couldn't see anything, but the chatter of ten's of people, a large crowd, could be heard from around the corner. As I walked through the main square area I could see a large, huge (not massive, group of teenagers or students stood outside HMV.

I couldn't think of why they would be stood outside. My first thought was "Has the Wii been released a month and a half early?" I thought this was stupid thought so then tried to work out if anything else would be being released? Mid week? No way. All CDs/DVDs, et al would of been released yesterday.
I did think about walking up to the crowd and asking. But I didnt want to be "one of those foo's in a shirt and tie he isn't cool/with it."
I mean my myspace isn't all sparkly and fan-danggled, I know I'm "not with it."
I still use phrase's like "not with it." I don't need to be told.

So what could it of been?

Well I Googled a few phrases and what I learnt was quite shocking.

Massive huge best selling, top gigging, awsome group, Mcfly are signing copies of their new single.

If being with it means camping outside some shop for an hour on a cold October morning for the chance of some pop group signing a single, then I'm glad to not be with it.

Or "Things bouncing in your head are expected to come out."

They say that "Too much knoweldge can be a dangerous thing."

I for one believe this.

Knowing too much can cause doubt.
Knowing too much can cause paranoia.

But if you deny yourself that knowledge, do you then become safe?

Should you lie to yourself and not gain knowledge, but feel safe?

Or do you be truthful and learn, and risk being hurt?

Even without the knowledge, the danger will always exsist.

Maybe you already know too much and paranoia has set in. Then it is too late.

If the Ice Age has been coming for a time, maybe We should sail to the Moon.

It's so beautiful up here, I didn't ever want to land.

Or "I've seen stupidity, and it's you."

A few months ago I mentioned how I chipped my tooth on some fruit whist at Fruitstock. Well of late I've been going the dentist. I've had few apointments. One reason for a delay being that my original dentist all of a sudden disappeared. I'd only had a quick check up with him, and by time I got round to my next appointment with him two weeks later he was gone. No reason given, just a new dentist and the old notes.
On one trip to the dentist I had been waiting in the Waiting Room for quite a while. The person before me was a little girl who was having to have a filling or tooth out and wouldnt stop screaming. She was in there a ver long time.

While I waited, in the Waiting Room, many people came and went - as there are two dentist's in the surgery, not that this one dentist was so good he could see two patients at once. It got to 5 and the there was only me left. Id say it was quiet but all you good hear where the high pitched screams from upstairs.

A few minutes later a lady walks in. She must of been in her mid twenties Im guessing. She had arrived 15 minutes late for her appointment and the receptionist said that the dentist was no longer seeing patients.
The lady then went on to moan about how she had trouble getting here, that there was no one else around. She even pointed out that I was still waiting, gave the receptionist a hard time, she was rude and basically demanded that the dentist see her.
Now the dentist didn't mind seeing the patient.

BUT the last people I would ever want to piss off would be someone who is about to stick sharp and point objects in my mouth.

Did this woman have some sort of Pain Wish.
A Pain Wish is a little like a Death Wish, except not as long lasting.

When it come round to my turn to see the dentist I had to say,
"I don't want done what the small girl just had."

Always best to amuse the dentist staff then give them a hard day. Period.

Or "The things I do to escape drinking water."

Now I dont steal much from work. Excluding the internet, phonecalls and printing stuff off there is very little in teh office workplace that I could want.

My last job, on our last day I stole quiet a bit. They were moving the office to India and I was working to the last hour on the last day in the UK offce. I stole a few big packets of paper. The ones that have like 500 sheets in. And a set of table tope desk draws for my mum.

At my new job I stole yesterday. Well I didnt STEAL YESTERDAY. I mean that would be impossible, but yesterday I did steal something.

Yesterday I was without milk at home. I knew that I had a none in the fridge at home and that I was suppose to pick some up. But being down in London this weekend I didnt want to buy half a pint and have it waste over a weekend.
Also I knew I had to pick up sugar.
Both of these are main ingredients in a nice cup of tea.

So last night, at 6pm, just after powering down my PC, I headed over to teh kitchen area on my floor and packed my bag with sachets of sugar and UHT milk.

Do you think I should do a legger now?

Label me: A FUGITIVE

Or "How I learnt i must find a better subject."

Well I was surfing around the Beeb a little earlier, when in the Technology news they had a "Breaking News" headline. I clicked to read the story and it went on to tell me that Orange Broadband wasn't working. Since when did broadband ISP connection become "Breaking News"?

I've been discussing with the Missus about watches. I had said that I dont like wearing watches, there isn't many that I would wear. That was until I saw this watch. I think Im adding that to my ever growing wich list. And it is a steal at only £670. Not bad I think.

And anyone booking a holiday to Thailand, I highly recommend this hotel. Check out the pretty pictures of the Muang Kulaypan Hotels room's. Nice!

Also, according to the National Trust, my blog is all wrong. It should really be a recording of my day to day life.
Lets try that out and see how it goes....

I have recently been infromed that my nose hair is quite noticeable, which has led me to looking at Boots and Argos online for cheap nose hair clippers. Is this a sign of premature old age?

Or "How I stole an idea off Nessy"

Nessy has linked a Lego version of Thriller. The first time I seen this I had to download it from some site. Thanks to the genius folk at youtube I now longer have to download videos. (Except maybe those videos )

Another great Lego video is this one of Radioheads Just. Fantastic.

Better then the original?

Also, with many years of guessing and hard work gone in to trying to find out what is being said by the guy on the floor, I can now reveal to everyone, the real reason why everyone is lying on the floor. (This joke only wokrs for those that remember the original video really)

The gentleman who is talking to everyone actually says....

"If you lie here, you can see Radiohead playing in that window."

Or "If I learn to fast talk, maybe she wont hurt me as much."

Now the Missus, she loves Take That. Absolutely loves them. Often on a night out with her friends, the taxi ride home is always filled with there annoying songs. Sang only in a way that a group of drunken girls can sing, nicely of course ::ahem::*

Anyway, it seems that Take That won an award the other night. That award was for "Best Live Return Award." Now Im not saying that they shouldn't get an award, their concerts may of been great. I mean they did beat Pink Floyd, The Who and Depeche Mode to win the award. So a little congratulations.

But I'm mainly shocked that the music industry is recognising that most bands that have split up, are now coming back together as the has-beens need some extra cash, and have created an award for the "Best Comeback."

Whatever next, "Best Cover Single"?

* I hope these comments dont mean I hear alot of "Take That" followed by "And That," and me covered in bruises when leaving the taxi after this weekends night out. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Or "I shouldn't complain, I should do more."

So there is this homeless guy in Leeds that I pass every weekday going to work. Not him going to work, ME going to work.
He is the most popualr of all homeless and Big Issue sellers and has a very unique and top selling way of selling his Big Issues.
Instead of taking the normal route, like most homeless, ie
"Come get your Big Issue." "Please buy the Big Issue." "New copy of the Big Issue." "For fuck sake folks. Come buy a copy."
This guy instead sells like lie this
"Good morning folks." "Hey ladies." "Good day gents." "Have a nice weekend."
This approach seems to work really well. The guy is often talking to people, having his Big Issues bough, I've even seen people drop off fruit, food and brand new boxed trainers to him.

Today heading in to work I seen him chatting to a suit. There was a person inside the suit of course. I didnt stop or hear what was going on but that suit was reaching in his pocket for something. I kept looking to see what would be offered to the homeless person.

Was it change? Was it a larger amount of money? Maybe some food?

Nope! None of them

The suit rummaged through his breast pocket and pulled out....

A Nokia charger.

Just want any homeless person needs.

All he needs now is a wall to plug it in to!

Or "How I realised I need a better brain."

Sometimes I feel that blogging can be really hard. Extremely difficult at times.
Imagine if you will, your a stuntperson, on a bike, in front of a railtrack. A speeding train will be coming past you at any moment, with a gap in one carriage. And you have to jump over the train by aiming for that carriage. And if your timing is of, then you lose you chance.
With blogging, you need that perfect subject that will capture your readers for that day, or that entry depending how gung ho you are.
You need to find that 'gap.'

Otherwise it's just drivle.

I've often partially wrote up an entry, then deleted thinking it was just drivle. Thinking that not even I would want to re-read that particualr entry again. Then go days without writing as I wait for the next idea. The next gap in the carriage. Then sometimes, at work that time comes.
But with being in work often THAT particular time I'm in the middle of the only busiest moment in the day and often I forget the idea and my one moment to jump the track is gone.

A few minutes ago I had a great idea.

And now drivel.

Sometimes blogging isn't easy

This is a typical reason why The Onion should be in your favourites list.

I also read a while back about how Richard Branson was dontaing £1.6 bn to fight global warming. He wanted also for airlines to reduce emissions by having planes taxi'd to and from the run way. Fewer circling routes when coming in to landing, and similar ways to slightly cut the emissions from planes.
A few days later he goes and unveils his new spaceship that will carry passengers in to space for a few hundred thousand pounds.

I guess another way of cutting emissions is not having regular flights in to space. Although this is only my guessing work.
