Best Quotes Ever

Image
Tags: Zapp Brannigan , Best Quotes After Darrens post i began to think of the best Quotes of all time I compiled this short list. Zapp Brannigan : Kif, I have mated with a woman. Inform the men. Zapp Brannigan : Rock crushes scissors, but paper covers rock, and scissors cuts paper. Kiff we have a conundrum. Search them for papers, and ah bring me a rock. Zapp Brannigan : Here's to us poor schmos, working for the man, even if he is a hot, sexy, female man. Zapp Brannigan : A valid question. We know nothing about their language, their history or what they look like. But we can assume this: they stand for everything we don

Tivo Series 3

Tags: Tivo , Tivo Series3 Another Groovey piece of kit just recently revealed at CES is the Series 3 Tivo. The Series 3 naturally has HDTV support ( proper 1080p i shall rant no more on this). It will still encode analogue Video to Mpeg 2 but has the capability of Mpeg 4 playback (AVC/H.264 etc ). The Remote has been slightly updated, importantly the drive inside are now SATA, and if you look carefully at the picture of the back you'll spot an external SATA connection for simple upgrades (no more faffing around in Linux). Outputs include HDMI, Component Video, S-Video, and Composite Video and Optical output for all your dolby digital out requirements. One small other thing Brits wont be getting it. Unless Sony and Philips actually produce it like they said they would the series 2 in 2004 ( grrr)

Jamie Cullum - Live at The Hammersmith Apollo

Image
Saturday night went to see Jamie Cullum Live at the Hammer Smith Apollo. Was absolutely excelent he did tracks from all three albums, Pointless Nostalgic, Twenty Somthing and the new Ablum Catching Tales. I would highly reccomend you go and see him, except last night was the last night of the tour, so just take my word for it :) Supporting was Nizlopi , (those guys that did the JCB song). They we're not as I expected a bunch of Old men in beards bashing sticks togther and playing wash boards, In fact they are a Two Piece one guy with a guitar and his voice and the other with a double bass. They too we're amazing, never seen a support act acctually get a proper response from the auidience, pretty impressive stuff considering they played for 45mins or so and everyone probably only knew the one song. So good I ordered thier album (with money).

No Drink, No Fags, No Weight Day 12

Image
Tags: No Drink , No Fags , Loose Weight Day 12, weighed my self this morning, and I have lost 3/4 of a stone. Bearing in mind that im have two proper meals a day including two pub lunches this week, and none of this healthy crap food. I lost nearly and entire stone and not a chickpea or lettice leaf in site. This naturally leads me to believe that all these "I can't loose weight" people are slackers. Got to start going to the gym next, to add to current excise (none). I should write a book "How to loose weight & Give up drinking in two easy steps" Chapter one 1. Stop Drinking. 2. Drink a lot of water.

Day 8 and I have gone an Entire Friday and Saturday

Tags: Alchoholics Anonymous , no drink , no fags Day 8 and I have gone an entire Friday and Saturday night dry, even drove Simon down town on Sat and played pool. Which incidentally was nearly very embaressing at one point simon was winning 7 games to 3, ended 10 - 10 ( very civilized ).Anyway marc blew me and Simon out on Sat night to go out with Jimmy D drinking, not heard yet whether he managed to not smoke ( what are the odds, slim? )there now follows a public service annoucement : Is A.A. For You? Only you can decide whether you want to give A.A.a try
