Singin' In My GTI

Do you guys get this advert outside the UK? If you don't, you should do. Ask your local congressman/tribal leader/minor royal to sort it out for you today. Bodypoppin' in the rain with Gene Kelly and the new Golf GTI. This is how all adverts should be. I almost want to trade my Mini in (well a little tiny teeny bit anyway).

Fascinating car fact #1: The Golf GTI differs from other cars by having a little red stripe around it's front grill. Some commentators say this is reminiscent of a woman's lipstick. Read into this what you will.

Cheap Date

You've probably got to be a Brit to truely appreciate this one (unless Tesco is a lot more prolific than I previously suspected), but lets just say this is the cheapest way of saying I love you, unless you're handing out hand-written tokens for '<insert name here> love'. Good luck on you if you are - let's just hope someone trys to redeem them. Disturbingly this was sent to me by aunt. Hazel, if you're reading, I think this falls well outside of the auntly behaviour remit. So my therapist says anyway. Happy loving to the rest of y'all this St V's Day. Nudge, wink, etc.

Do I Need A Jacket?

What's worse than having to go outside? Having to look out of something soooo low tech as a window to find out what the weather's like outside before you go out. *euch* The geek inside you cringes. Finally though there's a website to tell you whether you need a jacket outside before you emerge blinking into the world beyond the front door. *phew* The evolution of the non-starter invention that is the 'window' is halted, fluorescent light bulb sales increase, and all is right with the world once more.

On a personal note I'm off to Aberdeen this weekend for Ade's wedding: jacket requirement forecast: high, inebriation by whisky forecast: definate. Photos most likely will follow soon.

Ninjai Episode 11

Fans of Ninjai (the little ninja) will be pleased to hear that episode 11 is finally out (it's been over 2 years since episode 10 was originally released)...phew! New-comers to the little fella's adventures, and lets face it everyone with all but the most elephantine of memories will need a refresher course, should start here for a catch up session. Pop the kettle on, make yourself a nice cup of tea, and sit back and relax, basking in the graphical marvellousness of it all. Enjoy.

London Underground Song

The new theme tune for London commuting isn't for youngsters or those of you with sensitive ears (or those of you with sound cards at work), but is spot on. Also I can pretty much guarantee that 90% of folks who work in London won't detect any bad language in this at all anyway...

Weezer Jam Session

The much requested* return of musical Friday sees us jamming along with Weezer on the bongos. I like to go slightly mad on a Friday and randomly tapping my keyboard while listening to Buddy Holly does the trick nicely [ta Kara].

*well I wanted it to return anyway.

Cat Lick Clean

So you've 'borrowed' some of those moistened screen wipe thingumies from work to clean your computer screen at home, but it's still not completely smear free is it? What you need to do is clean the inside of your screen, but how do you do that? Fortunately, as always, the internet has the answer. Visit the cat lick cleaning service to get to to those hard to reach places on your monitor. It's cute and has a pussy cat. What more could you ask for?

Bunny Suicides

If you haven't been to lucky enough to receive as present/read/steal someone else's book of bunny suicides I highly recommend getting your hands on one, but in the meantime some have turned up on-line recently for you to enjoy. It's kind of a sick humour, but very very funny. Tickled my fancy anyway.

Journey Through A Jet Engine

Imagine you're a stream of air and take an educational trip through the innards of a jet engine with the kings of the jet engine - Rolls-Royce. Education and a link to Rolls-Royce? What is the 'laces coming to? Next thing you know I'll stop posting time wasting games. Well maybe not...

In Search Of The Yello Dello

Limited edition collectors' plate - I mean DVD. With Homestar's lack of understanding of the ladeez, the Yello Dello seems like the ideal gift for Marzipan's birthday, no matter how hard it is to find.

Blue Monday

I, along with many others I suspect, have never been a huge fan of Monday. The weekend is over and the working week stretches ahead of you. Stepping out of Waterloo station into snow this morning, yes that's snow, and not even the good kind of snowman building, too snowy to get to work snow, but the a bit wetter and colder than drizzle kind of snow, did absolutely nothing to convince me otherwise. Anyway if you're feeling down today the upside is that today is the worst day of the year so things really can only get better. For now though I'm at work already but if you're at home reading this I urge you to get back under the overs and take the day off. It's depressing out here.
