Bad Santa

I saw that film Bad Santa last night on DVD, with Billy Bob Thornton and some wee fat kid. Now I was going to get a picture of the wee fat kid and say something like a face not even a mother would love but when I googled Bad Santa, I suddenly realised it is likely to throw up strange images that should not be accessed in work. But low and behold I found a picture of Saddam in santa costume and felt I had to share. Surely the ex-president of Iraq didn't dress up too often.

One 5 min phone call is all it would take

but, I always feel compelled to write feckin 20 text messages or an hours worth of emails to and fro to make a decision about things. Its getting to be a sad state of affairs when the simple act of phoning someone is becoming so difficult that it becomes acceptable to spend an hour to get a message accross instead of just phoning goddamn it.

Wall to Wall Simpsons

I don't know about your television coverage of the Simpsons, but everyday I come home from work I could watch at least 5 or 6 episodes throughout the night, mean I could have my whole evenings viewing consist completely of the Simpsons. Though if I need a change I can switch to the 3 episodes of Friends that come on in between. Televison scheduling is becoming such a lazy job, where are the intersting new shows that aren't reality tv or cookery programmes?

Not all kids love santa

Here is a gallery of kids afraid of santa I'd be bloody afraid of half of them though.....

Ricky Gervais Podcasts

Incredibly funny Podcasts are available free every week from the guardian website featuring extracts from Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and the true hero of the episode is Karl. Listen and see how they bully him into saying the maddest things, like 'I wouldn't like to find a cure for aids cause then we would get overcrowded'. Classic!

Richard Pryor RIP

Google is taking over my PC

My computer in work is now being taken over by Google, I got curious about Google desktop and Google Earth and started them up last week. Google Earth is a bit scarey that you can zoom right down to my street and you can see all the cars in our car park. If that is what is available for us then what do governments have??? The desktop thing scares me a bit more cause they can see exactly what is on your Hard drive. Every search they can do refreshed their records.......not that I have anything to hide, just don't like the idea of the snooping possibilities.

Sopranos Day

Spent most of today watching the first season of the Sporanos. I borrowed it from my brother about a month ago and this is the first chance I have taken to sit down and watch it. It's great, its like a whole day of Godfather and Goodfellas all rolled into one.....loving it! I'll be all like a gangster in my head for a few days after I reckon.

Blink Blink

I started a new photoblog today called Blink Blink its going to be the collection of pictures from my picture phone. Just whatever I seem to take I'll put it up here and hopefully you guys will enjoy them. Just random images.

In Prague this is a police car

Sleepy Dutch Cat

I was in a lovely wee bar in Amsterdam near the hostel on my recent holiday there drinking a smoothie (yep, me? a smoothie) and I looked accross only to see a cat jump up on the counter and proceed in falling asleep.....it was so peaceful even when a couple sat down beside it and had a very heated conversation over it. Wish you could see cats do that in pubs here.

Origin of my name

I always thought my name meant Rua: Red and Dhri: King. But a helpful friend then pointed out yesterday that it might be Red headed King. When I went in investigating what it was, I found about five or six spellings, each of them meaning something else entirely. In fact one explained that it was Teutonic which isn't even celtic but German.

Does anyone know the answer (apart from smarties?)

Look out for someone you might know with the severe bout of clapping near the end.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Went to see a film last night, wasn't sure what it was going to be about and wasn't so sure if it would be good. But it turned out to be about entertainment and having so many twists to avoid cliches.......plenty of A standard dialogue!

Go see it when you get the chance.

Lovley Baby

Gin makes you sin

So, two Xmas dinner evenings later and I'm sporting what one might call a Gin makeover. Tis a beautiful drink, made with juniper berries and when coupled with a tonic can do wonders for the mind. But, two days later it merely leaves you with speckled memories. Gin I love you, but please leave me be for a few days so I can get my brain back.

Crouch breaks his Duck

In the pub yesterday to see the longest player in Liverpool history score a goal of crazy flukiness and celebrate like it had won a world cup final, only to have it snatched away moments later. Though he still stepped up and fired home another to end a long run of games without a goal.

We salute you mr crouch! Keep up the glory and let Liverpool crush the 12 point gap and restore ourselves in greatness again.

Where petrol pumps once stood

It didn't open till the first cough of October stuttered from him, but, it was magical, a kingdom of roman candels, catherine wheels, whirly pops, Wolf whistlers, comando crackers arranged like coloured candy bars. Lined along corrugated iron walls, easily found in a safe house cellar.

Waiting under pipe smoke for the first arrivals, weeks early for festivities. Stirring preparations for the pitch battles of devil bangers and repeaters that fill the small estates in toxic breath as midget gangs showered their might. Later unveiling the moon bombers amid booster rockets to puncture the cold as the temperatures rise.

Reading the paper, door wide open, artificial blue light like litmus paper, displays an arsenal available to the highest bidder.

Eating German Sausages

there's nothing like standing in the middle of Belfast Christmas market eating the hugest German sausage in a tiny bun with a smidge of mustard and enjoying it make you feel like the gayest man in the whole of the world. But i'm not, it's the mind playing tricks.

30 days

Your man that created the documentry about eating mcdonalds for 30 days has gone one better and created a full series of 30 day binges on a number of things. The one I have seen sees an American mother drink alcohol for 30 days straight to teach her daughter how not to live. 30 days is a long time. I drank for 8/9 days straight while in Prague and I had to do a lot of recovery following it, though it didn't put me off. Within the week I was throwing the black stuff into me like I was a man possessed.

Isn't guinness lovely

Lemsip day

How come when I second guess my body suffering from a Cold and feed it full of hot drinks and tablets, etc....does it still inevitably happen. Here I am surrounded by tissues and empty cups at work and there's nothing I can do about it. Typical it is the day of our work nite out and I will end up completely wrecked tomorrow due to a free bar and the cold beginning to take over. GITS!

Feinting Goats

A wee bit of a scare and they go all stiff and fall over. Not much good as a defence mechanism.
