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.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.
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 
Monday again? Seriously?
Where do the weekends go? *cries*
I spent most of this weekend watching telly and getting fat…. fun!
Had drinks and movies with the girls on Friday night and watched more Summer Heights High. What a great programme.
On Saturday night, I was dragged to TGI Fridays for a friend’s birthday and drank about 5 fishbowls of Long Island Iced Tea. Didn’t think there was any alcohol in them, hence the fishbowl sized glasses. Turns out I was very, very, very wrong as I became very, very, verrrry dhrunk and stumbled the whole way down to D2’s. Speaking of D2’s - I love the beer garden there, but what’s it going to be like when the patio heaters are banned?!
Last night I watched Consiparacy Theory with the fella. I forced myself to stay awake until the end, to find out what the big theory was but woke up just as the credits started to roll. Woke the fella up to tell me what happened (he’d seen it before) and turns out I didn’t miss much.
The film did get me googling about other conspiracy theories however…
the origins of AID’s…
9/11 theories…
Paul McCartney is actually dead…
The white lines left in the sky by planes are actually ‘chemtrails’, pumped out by the government to change your DNA…
Make your own conspiracy theory!
Fake babies
Shouldn’t children have dolls and women real babies? Not the case according to last nights television….
Channel 4 broadcast ‘My Fake Baby’ last night at the same time that TV3 aired ‘Britain’s Youngest Mums’. The latter was a programme about two sisters aged 15 and 16 having their first children in an already fairly overcrowded house (mostly populated by dogs). The youngest of the pair, Lizzie, was very much unprepared for the child and didn’t seem to care as she puffed away on her malboro lights. Her older sister however, was extremely eager for the upcoming birth and in fact had become pregnant on purpose after she had found out that her younger sister had gotten pregnant first. Nice.
My Fake Baby was a documentary about middle aged women who collect ‘reborns’. These are extremely realistic dolls of newborn babies and are seriously seriously weird - they look…. dead…. Ick.
I spent last night flicking between the two programmes, wishing to God I had Sky Plus so I could watch each in full. Both demanded full attention although I have to admit, I had to turn off the Fake Babies programme several times because I was feeling quite disturbed. Especially at the elder lady who was trying to replace her grandson after his mother had moved sticks to America (I wonder why…..)
Scary scary lady.
Ya gotta love car crash tv.
