OMFG, it's a Royal Wedding!

Dear Followers and Others Who Have Been Attracted by the word Royal Wedding...

Firstly, this not a desperate attempt to increase traffic to my site by cashing in on Royal Wedding fever, oh no, you wouldn't catch me doing that...

Royal Wedding Kate William Royal Wedding Kate William Royal Wedding Kate William Royal Kate William Wedding Kate William Royal Wedding Kate William Royal Wedding Kate William Royal Wedding Kate William Royal Wedding.

... because that would be desperate. Glad we got that sorted out.

Now, I have been forced to write about this for two reasons, firstly because it is topical, but more importantly because my dear lady wife Smiffy cannot get the damned occasion out of her head. I, on the other hand am just a little less bothered.

I do appreciate that as a resident of the UK there will be some rather dull but fiscally attractive benefits to certain businesses. I also appreciate that the UK tourism industry will get a healthy shot in the arm as a result of the union. An early estimate puts this number to be around 620 million of your English pounds. Really? And how did this figure come to pass? One would assume that the meeting involved an extremely unhappy donkey with a very bloody tail, along with some over-enthusiastic young economists waving slide-rules around in gradually decreasing circles.

Anyway, this is truly wonderful, but largely boring. I have to deal with issues closer to home. Smiffy is over-enthused by the idea, reminiscing on previous royal weddings etc. I think a transcript is required...

Smiffy: William and Kate are getting married!

Me: Oh, that's nice, are they your side or my side because I don't recognise the name.

Smiffy: The Royal Wedding, idiot!

Me: Oh, that wedding... are we invited?

Smiffy: Only if we win a competition that I have not seen but dreamed about.

Me: So, minimal chance of me getting on the dance floor towards the end of the night, requesting (probably aggressively) Born Slippy by Underworld?

Smiffy: It's William and Kate!

Me: Is that good or bad? More importantly, (refer to previous question) is that Yes or No?

Smiffy: IT'S WILLIAM AND KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your exaggerated use of CAPS must mean this is very important. Am I missing something?

Smiffy: Do not fuck with me, husband.

Me: Good point, well made. Please provide me with the facts required to share the love that you have regarding the union of William and Kate

Smiffy: Oh, FFS, are you completely divorced from reality?

Me: (Phew) Oh it is just that William and that Kate, I was starting to get a little worried.

Smiffy: Right, that's it you have forced me into measures I would not normally deploy.

Me: Such as what?

Smiffy: Really large fonts to make my point. Once more, with feeling, it's William and Kate!!

Me:, Ah, OK, I get the picture. You think this is important; so, sell it to me.

Smiffy: There will be an extra bank holiday because of the wedding.

Me: Really, oh that William and Kate! Glad we've cleared that up.

I now entirely buy into the idea and am enthused, as there is something in it for me.

Any chance we can roll-over the bank holiday to each Wedding anniversary?

BP Spills Coffee

Dear Reader(s),

This comes a little late, as the 11M+ views will confirm, but if you haven't seen it this is possibly the funniest comment on the recent BP oil spill I have seen. Well worth a watch. Glad it's all sorted out though, for all concerned.

Enjoy! Oh, and BTW this is making look v.lazy, I will produce some actual written words soon.

Spiders, Drugs And Urban Myths

Hi All,

For your enjoyment, a public mis-information film from our friends on YouTube. 

This video may have been inspired by a NASA experiment (of all people) who became interested in the effect of psychoactive substances on arachnids. Would you believe that an artist has created bowls based on the results!!.  This does not necessarily make this story true, but if nothing else demonstrates the power of the urban myth.

Hope you enjoy the video dear watcher.

Site Of The Month - Part 2

All,

As promised, new month, new site. Well actually not a new site at all, it's been around for about six years now, to be more concise.

It is unusual to combine flash animation, bunnies and classic movies in the same sentence, but this is what happens when someone thinks outside of the box. What I like about this site is it delivers exactly what it says on the tin: great movies, bunnies, 30 second capsules. Voiced in a highly amusing way this site has kept me amused for years. When I revisited the site for this article I saw a news item that implied that the author was hanging up his (fingers?) after six years of quality work. I panicked, this blog post was all prepared goddamnit. Good news is, someone has made him see sense and there will be more bunny flicks in the future.

Some of my personal favourites:

The Shining

Star Wars

Pulp Fiction

Smiffy, my dear wife, would not forgive me if I didn't at least nod at Harry Potter 1 and Harry Potter 2 (the bunny movies) which slightly confusingly covers the first five Harry Potter films but doesn't give anything away about the new ones for those of us who refuse to read the books.

There are oodles more just waiting to be enjoyed. Tell me your personal favourites and I may set up a league table (or something).

Anyhoo, hope it makes you happy.

Have fun dear reader. Goodnight, and don't let the bunnies bite.

Cat vs Printer - The Translation
