The crowd reaction says it all...A fine use of the imperial march from Star Wars. You don't need to be a geek to appreciate this, but...

Intervention

Quote of the day;

"I spent nine months living in a ninja dojo...".

Said by a Glasweigan no less.

Some things that amuse me at the moment.

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible:
Wow. What an album. I didn't think they could top Funeral, but I was wrong. I'm slightly obsessed with the track "Intervention" I have to say. It was played on Radio 1 a few months ago in an unmastered form, but even then it sounded astounding.

The Cricket World Cup:
I don't care what you say, I love the sport. The tournament so far hasn't failed to disappoint, England getting pumped by New Zealand, Scotland bowling well against Australia and then getting hammered batting, Ireland drawing against Zimbabwe and then beating Pakistan, and last but not least, Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff having his vice captaincy revoked due to a late night trip in a pedallo. Shame about the coach of Pakistan dying though.

The Six Nations:
As per usual at this time of year. Scotland getting the wooden spoon was not exactly how I thought it would pan out, but there were some promising points ahead of the world cup. Watching it in Walkabout was just as fun, although not for the reasons you might think!

I'm trying to work out what the point of bebo is exactly. Is it a revolution in social networking? Or just a web page for people that can't be bothered phoning their mates?

The lad I sit next to in the office is constantly on it (being the IT monkey, I should really ban him, but it gives entertainment throughout the course of the day), and from what I can see it's an assortment of messages in txt spk (no wht I mn?), pictures of him on the lash, and a list of films he likes. Oh, and my favourite part, the white board. It's there for your friends to leave drawings on, big smiley faces and the like, but in reality it consists of your mates leaving crudely drawn pictures of purple cocks. Hmm.
