Blogging about a blog, hmm

Outstanding,

Rosspo launched a search on the web today for the 'Newbury Beer Festival', which is looming now.
Now, he used Microsofts web search MSN Search (and usually we would not forgive him for that), but in this case the first result to show was one of my blog postings, (at last, fame on the web), perhaps the first time I have ever appreciated Microsoft!!!!

IQ Tests

I am obviously so stupid that I don't even get IQ tests.

I have had three separate scores of 109, 127 and 136 over the last 6 or 7 years,
with the lowest being admittedly while I really couldn't be bothered to do it watching Anne Robinson, the other 2 occasions were under more controlled situations.

My most recent scored 127 off a web site test IQ Test.

How can you get such different scores, I know (spacial awareness is a low point for me)!

Load of old bollocks!!

Napoleon Dynamite

Saw Napoleon Dynamite last night, even had Nicky watching it. A very funny film, we both thought it had many similarities to Australian Films, some quirky filming, and it reminded us a little of an Australian series for kids form the early 90's called 'Round the Twist'.

Worth watching definately!

Holiday in Cornwall

Hi all, sadly my holiday has come to an end.

I had a great time, saw some amazing sights, and enjoyed my first attempt at surfing (something I hope to do regularly in the future)!

As it turned out, I was over confident and kept falling off the board, but Nicky was a good squatter and beat me!

Was good to see the family at my cousin Sophies wedding too! Congratulations Sophie and Mike.

House of Flying Daggers

Have been meaning to blab about this film for a while. I thought it was a lot better than Kung Fu Hustle despite its slant towards being a love story.

The fight choreography was a lot better and the cinematography was breathtaking at times.

I am not quite sure however why the baddies ran around with their swords pointing the wrong way!

My Sponsor Pack came through for Seamus at Monkey World

Excellent, now I have a season ticket for a year to go see chimps and monkeys at Monkey World.

In fact with any luck, I am going to combine a visit to see the chimps with the beer festival on the Purbecks this weekend. You can't get much better than beer and monkeys!

Hmm Smoothie Maker

Excellent, one of my long time aims has been met, I have wanted a smoothie maker for ages, but Nicky never let me get one. My reasoning is that it will help me eat more fruit, because I am lazy, and fussy with my fruit. Oh yeah and smoothies taste great.

Anyway, finally just bought one with a disapproving Nicky looking on, and my first smoothie (apples, banana, grapes and vanilla) was superb!!! Yum!!!

So its bombing day tomorrow again I suppose

Oh well, I suppose I will go in early to try to avoid it. If it weren't so hot I would wear my Die Hard vest and stop those lunatics myself.

Seems my boss has the right idea, he is going to be driving round in lovely Italy, eating home cooked food, drinking beer, and generally avoiding extremist fundamentalists!

Conspiracy Theory

Hmm, strange, now there are satellite images, at least up to a certain zoom level.
Either it is hunting season on bears, so the satellites are getting through the screen of bear shit, or something else exactly as strange happened!

Now I just wrote this morning to Darth Limpet, Rosspo and Chudplug about Microsofts site being screwed since Friday, (lacking a css), and by the time they look that is fixed as well.

Like Darth Limpet says, perhaps I am a known agitator, and am being watched!!!!

Summer BBQ 2005

Its been a couple of years since we did the last one, and lets just say the weather wasn't quite up to it this year!! But we managed it, the bbq found a little house under some shelter and we had brolly boys and girls to help, see www.flick.com/photos/rossputin, or www.flickr.com/photos/limpetboy.

Thanks for coming everyone, was good to see you all there! The homebrew was pretty successful really, and the half yard of ale, (cheers Darth Limpet).

Lets hope we can get back to playing in the garden next time.
