Room 101

I've been thinking of things that i would banish to room 101 for all eternity if i had the choice.

Mine would have to be hand dryers in public toilets. Particularly the ones that really don't do anything, those ones that have about as much power in them as somebody breathing heavily! what a waste of time and money - you end up having to wave your hands vigorously in the air (which does more to dry them than the dryer!) or find a suitable piece of clothing to dry them on.

Even worse than this - knowing that the dryer i am approaching to dry my hands will probably be useless, as i place my hands under the dryer expecting something to happen.... NOTHING!!! the thing either doesn't work or has been turned off or whatever; you end up hunting for the one that works which undoubtedly will have a queue of people all waving their hands about and subtly drying them on the person in front!

so that's got my vote. What would you put in room 101?

John Foley

I'd like to draw your attention to this guys photography work. I read an article about his work especially the shots where he recreates 17th century style master pieces in digital format with photoshop manipulation.

Often his creations are composites of several shots which can take months or even years to find all the elements needed to create his original idea.

I'd love to be able to take such great photo's and have the ability to do so much more with them through computer manipulation. He has just opened his own shop in Suffolk selling his work.

check out the website for more shots.

I'm going to have a go with some of my photos when i get round to it to see what sort of thing i can do - who knows what might come out with such fantastic inspiration!

Blogger Troubles

I'm having problems with my blog, in fact i think i caused them by signing up to some google thing or other....

whatever it is that's happened is preventing people from being able to post comments - two or three people (two or three Si? surely you mean everyone who reads this blog...) have mentioned they haven't been able to post comments.

So sorry about that if it is cause you distress - I'm not quite sure what to do to solve the problem.

it's the shizzle!

This is a thing that been round for a while - but i decided to see what my blog looks like after being gizoogled

It made me laugh very much...

a couple of highlights:

"So last night Jo's cracka n her boyfriend stayed over on they way ta tha airport on holiday. Emily made us wizzatch "life begins" W-H-to-tha-izzich is a new sitcom `bout 40 sum-m sum-ms or sum-m sum-m, i dunno...

There was one line which i found brotha F-U-Double-Nizzy n hopefully, if i rememba to, i W-to-tha-izzill try n use it me in day ta day conversizzles . Aint no stoppin' this shit nigga."

And from Lards blog....

"This morn'n baller dropp'n becks off at schoo` I popped into Tescos ta pick up a few perpetratin'. The checkout lady started rapping ta Elijah as most do n normally I shut off wha they’re actually say'n cos pack'n is neva eazy wit a child in tow fo' rizeal. For some reason there’s thugz there ta help motha wit they bizzags, but clearly we’re so manly we can entertain n pizzy on our own . Im a bad boy wit a lotta hos. Anyway . I started yo shit and i'll end yo' shit. . "

sorry for some of the language in it, but i find it funny...

You'll all be trying it - go on, give it a go!

Old friends

I've spent a bit of time today catching up with an old friend from Uni. Emily now lives in America with her husband Drew.

It has been really cool to briefly catch up, I'll try not to leave it too long before saying hello next time!

Its important to keep in touch with friends far and near - i challenge you all to go through your contacts list and your MSN contacts list and send a quick message to an old friend.

What harm can it do?! Spread the love people!

A funny thing...

Sorry for no posts for a while - i have been away in Devon.

So last night Jo's sister and her boyfriend stayed over on their way to the airport on holiday. Emily made us watch "life begins" which is a new sitcom about 40 somethings or something, i dunno...

There was one line which i found rather funny and hopefully, if i remember to, i will try and use it myself in day to day conversation.

".... you're about as much use as a fart in a peddle bin!"

now I'm not sure why this tickled me - perhaps it's because the word "fart" was used who knows.

I will soon post pics of our trip to Devon, although Lloyd will probably bit me to it with a much cooler presentation of photos i have no doubt!
