Slam Dunk Contest

Mental Slam Dunks

This is mental! Some great Slam Dunk stunts here, a nice little video with what looks like a bunch of bloke cheerleaders doing crazy stuff of some trampolines, then doing some awesome dunks. Well worth a watch!

The Chronic of Narnia Rap

YouTube - SNL - The Chronic of Narnia Rap

A Gangsta Rap from Saturday Night Live about the Chronicles of Narnia, pretty funny :P

Race a Train

The Subway Challenge

This is a pretty cool little stunt. The challenge is to get off a subway train, race to the next station, and then get back on the same train again. It's pretty good and worth a watch!

What the Movies have taught us

1. Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people - whether they are employed or not.

2. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.

3. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.

4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.

5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

6. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.

7. If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.

8. Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.

9. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.

10. All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.

11. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

12. It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

13. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

14. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

15. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do.

16. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

17. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

18. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

19. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

20. Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will always say:Enter Password Now.

21. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

22. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

23. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

24. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all the steps.

25. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

26. When they are alone, all foreign military officers prefer to speak to each other in English.

Andy's Fixed!

Thats right! We got his Glow Plugs replaced last week after repeated trouble with him, and now he starts with no problems. Viv took him to a garage on Gale Lane and it cost us £100. We were supposed to be getting the cheap ones for £100, but the bloke had made a mistake, and as we'd been quoted £100, we got the expensive ones for £100 instead of £120. Bargain!

Viv then picked it up after work last Thursday and picked me up from the gym. I said was she sure she wanted to drive in the fog, she said yes, and then immediately regretted it...

Weekend Frolics

This weekend was pretty good. We were at Sarah and Glen's on Friday. It wasn't supposed to be a late night as Viv was working on Saturday, but we ended up staying till about half 2anyway, and I was the one who suggested we go home! Apparently we missed the carnage, with Jayne being sick. I think it was the shots that Glen was plying everyone with personally.

Viv got up late for work, not really surprising. So she had to stay at work really late as she was supposed to do 8 hours and had loads to do. Once she'd finished she got the car, went to tescos, came home and had dinner, then 20mins later we were off to Al and Jaynes!

Luckily no one really felt like drinking much, so we had a light and early night, leaving around midnight. We played a game called 'At the Dogs' which was ok, but the favourite dog always came first, regardless of form, so next time we're going to neuter it a bit so some other dogs win.

We left the car at Jayne and Al's on Sunday as we couldn't be bothered to go and get it. Which gives me a good excuse to get out of going to the gym on Monday, as I have to go and get it :)

Best 5 Funny Football Goals of all the Time

Best 5 Funny Football Goals of all the Time - Google Video

Some great goals in here! Absolutely hilarious some of them :)

What is this Blog?

It's occured to me that the only vaguely interesting thing that I do is on weekends... So most of the other posts I put on here are random interesting/funny stuff I find on the net. As I had started this blog to be a diary of some sorts I'm not really sure what happened.

I normally can't be bothered to update immediately after a weekend anyway, so I normally do it about now, by which time I've already forgotten most of the really interesting things that have happened, and end up writing a generic 'we went to this persons house and did this' kind of post, which is pretty boring to read and write. Especially as its normally Jayne and Al's one night and Sarah and Glen's the next, or vice versa.

I need to sort out some photos, either at home or at work, so then I can at least have some colour and something to write about, especially as Viv takes loads of photos and theres normally at least one thats vaguely amusing. More to follow...

This is a great advert, brilliant idea and just the sort of thing I used to do as a kid, although not in such a tarantino style! Watch it, it's worth it. shame about the console though :P

Which Historic General are you?

King Edward I
You scored 74 Wisdom, 73 Tactics, 60 Guts, and 49 Ruthlessness!
Or rather, King Edward the Longshanks if you've seen Braveheart. You, like Edward, are incredibly smart and shrewd, but you win at any costs.... William Wallace died at his hands after a fierce Scottish rebellion against his reign. Despite his reputation though, Longshanks had the best interests of his people at heart. But God help you if you got on his bad side.
  • You scored higher than 87% on Unorthodox
  • You scored higher than 55% on Tactics
  • You scored higher than 67% on Guts
  • You scored higher than 58% on Ruthlessness
