Some poor young fella has had his jaw broken and his brand new copy of Grand Theft Auto IV teefed.

I do think the criticism over this game is ridiculous though. If you can’t separate reality from a fecking video game, then that’s your problem and not the game makers. It has an age rating for a reason, people.

She’s no Scarlett!

This poor guy has had the hiccups for 15 months now - I can’t even bear them for 10 minutes!

I have a cure that always works for me, and it’s worked for 99% of the people I’ve tried it on (the other 1% were too drunk to try it properly I reckon).

1. Fill a glass with water or a beverage of your choice (preferably not beer though, it’ll likely only make it worse).
2. Put a straw in the drink or get another kind being (preferably more sober than you) to hold the glass for you.
3. Put your fingers in your ears - as far in as you can without causing damage obviously - careful now.
4. Drink as much of the water/beverage of choice as you can whilst blocking your ears - either through the straw or the other person ‘feeding’ it to you.

It works for me anyways - something to do with the air pressure and tubes connecting yadda yadda yadda.

It’s cute, so there.

This is bananas. Completely.

Certain residents of the Greek Island Lesbos want to ban the use of the word ‘lesbian’ as a gay woman. Rather it should only be used in conjunction with being a citizen of their island.

Seriously?

Realism people, isn’t it a bit late to be making a fuss now? Maybe I’m just mean.

This is interesting though: “The term lesbian originated from a mythological goddess and poet called Sappho, who was a native of Lesbos.

Sappho expressed her love of other women in poetry written during the 7th Century BC. “

In a moment of pure madness (and mainly because I was literally dragged along) I started salsa lessons last night. I had very verrrrry low expectations, mainly because as much as I like to think I can dance (after a g&t or twelve) I really can’t. Ok, I can shake my hips to the beat, but moving feet and arms - together - why that’s just impossible!

However, after the bubbly instructor taught us the most basic of steps, I felt that I was actually catching on a bit and ‘getting into the groove’ as they say. In fact, halfway through the class, I was kicking ass. Literally. I actually physically connected my foot, albeit very briefly, with the rear end of the kindly middle aged lady in front of me. I have no idea how, I wasn’t even drinking.

She was very nice about it however and put it down to my complete lack of balance and rhythm. I will be moving to the other side of the class next week out of politeness though.

It was great fun in the end, and hopefully will give me the motivation to lose a pound or two. And hey, at least I didn’t fall!

Just because I love him: an interview with ‘Giles’ AKA Anthony Stewart Head.

I think he’s dreeeeamy *sigh*

I keep seeing the ad for ‘RudeTube’, a programme due to air tonight on E4 about various (in)famous videos on the internet, but hadn’t got a clue what the end clip was until I googled ‘weightless dog’ and found this:

The poor ould mutt probably didn’t have a clue what was happening to him! Bless

I didn’t get to a single one of the Republic of Loose’s gigs in ze Academy

But I have been cheered up - apparently according to a random report I heard on the radio this morning they have signed a big deal in the US of A to allow their music to be used in a brand new tv show (name unknown to me at least) and, interestingly enough, a Gerard Depardieu film.

Google is not being my friend today and I can’t find any solid information on this. I was half asleep when I heard the report so maybe I just made it all up…

But I didn’t, yay for them!

On RTÉ Two tonight at 22.00.

For a sneaky peek at behind the scenes action of tonight’s episode, go here.

*obsessed*

Rick’s got a great post with a list of his listener’s top 3’s eg top 3 smells, skittles and (my favourite) fingers.

It got me thinking ….

my top 3 porn film names -
sex in the sh*tty
harry tw*tter
buffy the vampire layer (courtesy of Friends heehee).

(I know I’m a prude using the “*” but I feel bould not…)

 Drunken Darth Vadar on the war path…

From the beeb: “A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan, who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.

Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted “Darth Vader!”“

I can’t tell which is my favourite bit - the fact that he was dressed in a black bin bag or what the judge said:

“I hope the force will soon be with him.”

Legend.

EDIT: how did I miss this line - Hughes hit Barney Jones over the head with the crutch, leaving him with a headache.

This is my favourite news story on the Beeb EVAR

Fruitcake.

Bless!

I’ve never been tagged in my life before, and now it’s happened to me twice in one week by Delectable Darragh and Lovely Lynnie (yes I am a giant cheesebag of alliteration). You people are so good to me <3

So apparently I have to describe myself in 6 words…

Darragh did it all in one sentence and Lynnie listed her words individually. I think I’ll go with the list - brain can’t sentence put together.

So to describe moi IMHO:
- indecisive
- sleepy
- humorous
- affectionate
- savage (in food terms, I like to eat!)
- smiley

Now to list people who might ever have visited this blog on occasion (there aren’t many!)

Orpees of RapturePonies
Becs of Unbearably Light
Anthony of Anthony McG
Pedro of Monscooch
B’dum B’dum of Positive Boredom
Rick of Rick ‘God’ O’Shea

EDIT - Post Title changed because of it’s supreme crapiness… new one slightly less crappy heh

and neglected my blog for the past few days. It’s the sunny weather I tells ya, I can’t stay in.

This is what I’m usually like though:

Yesterday whilst dining in the canteen in work, somebody sent me a video through Bluetooth. This random person came up on my phone as Brian Ormond but surprisingly enough (not), when I looked around there was no Brian Ormond in sight. Despite this, I pressed accept on my phone just for the craic. The video was called ‘exercise!’ so I thought someone might be trying to motivate me and pushed my chicken and roast spuds across the table and pressed play.

Could whoever sent me that video could please send me the ‘exercise’ machine too please? I’ll be dropping the pounds no bother.

What a party trick!

Man accused of forcing toddler to smoke marijuana

This is so unbelievably disturbing.

The guy filmed himself forcing an 18 month old child to smoke pot and then sold his video camera to a pawnshop. The pawnshop found the tape in the camera and thankfully turned it over to the police.

There is a news report online which shows the baby smoking but it’s extremely disturbing.

Sick, sick world.

 A pair of elderly ladies in the US of A have been convicted of murdering two homeless men to collect $2.8m in life assurance.

“Helen Golay, 77, and Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, befriended the men from around Los Angeles, put them up in flats and took out insurance policies. The two men were then drugged and killed in staged road accidents. Golay drugged her victims before driving a car over their bodies. “

Lovely.
