My great niece or nephew...

I received a scan of my niece Mikala's baby today.
Now I am a good uncle (I believe) and I am thrilled for her that she is pregnant, but I can't actually make the baby out at this early stage (7 weeks). But I thought I'd post the picture anyway.

If someone can tell me which bit it what I would be grateful!

I still can't believe I am old enough to be a GREAT UNCLE!!!

This video is just such fun. I love the bear best.

Happy Halloween

Daniel Craig has a big willy

That got your attention!!

Apparently, Dame Judi Dench has been a bit indescrete and announced that she caught a glimpse of Daniel Craig's allegedly impressive member while he was changing in his trailer, during the filming of the latest James Bond film, Casino Royale.

Dench told the Daily Star: "It's an absolute monster! Maybe I shouldn't have said that. How uncouth of me!"

This picture lets you decide for yourself, but then again it isn't that clear I suppose.

Optimus Prime gets Prostate Cancer

Funny clip with a serious message. Anyone want to check my arse?

Enjoy

The mouse catcher does it again

Once again my skills at mouse catching came in handy when a little bugger took up residence in the boot of one of my female work colleagues this morning. I had to go into the female changing room to recover the boot and then extract the mouse. The only way I could do this was to shake it out, which I did into the mens toilet. The poor thing! I then scooped it up in a coffee cup, which it also didn't like and the placed it in the trash compactor. I really hate doing that the the cute little buggers but I have nowhere else to put them, where they won't escape back into the building. I would live to take them home, but have no time (or the inclination, I guess) to look after them.

Latest news from the "Flat From Hell"

I was told yesterday that I will have to stay in a hotel next Monday (6th Nov) as the film crew for "The Bourne Ultimatum" will be storing their camera equipment in the flat overnight and will have a security company on site overnight (they must think that we are going to steal the film or something). I am not too happy as it is disruption I could do without on a working day. The hotel is being paid for, but I am really getting p****d off with all of the disruption in my "home" life at the moment. I just want a nice, warm, tidy, smoke-free flat to come home to at the end of a working shift! Is that too much to ask?

Jesse Metcalfe

I must say that I was pleasently surprised with Jesse Metcalfe's presenting skills on the "New Paul O'Grady Show."
He did a fantastic job, he seemed so much more professional and spot on than other experienced presenters such as Cilla Black, then again I thought Cilla was much more interested in talking about herself than in talking to her guests.

Good on you Jesse, you are clearly not talentless, and clearly more than a body for show.

Though I still think he could do better than Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud who he is with at the moment. But then again, I don't know her, so maybe that is unfair and tinged with a hint of jealousy.

Big Dave

Most of you will know by now that I am a sucker for man muscle, well I am loving "Big Dave" Cole on the "New Paul O'Grady Show."
Not only does he have a fantastic body, without having taken it too far, but he is also really good looking. He isn't exactly a natural on live television, but I personally think that that adds to his naive charm.

The other day Vernon Kaye commented that Dave has strange nipples, I would love to get close enough to inspect them for myself. If I do I will be sure to let you all know how strange they taste, I mean look!

BIG DAVE I would love you to give ME a work out! ANY TIME YOU WANT!

Torchwood....the verdict

In brief....I hope it gets better.

In the longform... I watched the first two epsiodes of Torchwood earlier and I wasn't particularly impressed. They were okay, but a bit predictable and, dare I say it, a bit dull! It had some good ideas in it and I can see potential, so I just hope that it matures with age. I really want it to be good, so I have my fingers crossed, at the moment, hoping I like the rest of the series. And hoping that the Sarah Jane Adventures has a better start to its series (as I have to like that, cos a friend of mine is working on it).
I do like Cap'n Jack and the mysteries therein, John Barrowman is quite sexy and the perfect man to play this character. He came across as a bit of a Grissom / Horatio charcter and it did seem a bit CSI-inspired, not necessarily a bad thing.
And I WANT some of the spray that Owen Harper used to pull that girl AND her (straight) boyfriend, how good would that be?
I hope that the whole series isn't set in Cardiff though, I would like to see them travel a bit. But even if they travel out of Cardiff City centre it would help. (Sorry to all in Cardiff if this offends you!)

Winter is coming...

Well I am now riddled with a cold and the heating isn't on in the flat, Kevin has said he will sort it out. It doesn't help that some of the windows in the living room are constantly open to get rid of the smell of the varnish that was put on the floor yesterday.
But at least my internet connection is sorted, after an hour-or-so of fiddling and installing a new hub (or something) and then realising that the old one wasn't working because the power cord had come out!! I would be embarrassed but am feeling too sorry for myself with my sniffles and headache. I need to be tended to by a big hunky man who will see to my every need. Any offers?

Torchwood

OK. So I was really bummed out that I missed the launch of Torchwood at the weekend. I was working and I don't have BBC3 anyway. But am happy to see that the first 2 episodes are being repeated on BBC2 tonight at 21:00, so I shall get some treats in and sit down for (nearly) 2 hours of adventure.

DO NOT TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS, OR WHETHER YOU THINK IT IS GOOD OR BAD, I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN MIND UP!!

Why is nothing simple?

I am currently having nightmares with my computer, well both laptops actually. Our wireless connection at the flat isn't working for me, even though the laptop tells me that I am connected it will not connect with ANY web address. But if I connect to another wireless server then it is alright (although there are only 2 intermittant other connections that are strong enough for me!).
My word processor also is playing up, I loaded the one I used on my old laptop into my new laptop, but cannot, for some reason, save any files onto discs with the new laptop! Even though I can read from discs. It is wierd, just another thing that is pissing me off in my new "home."
What happened to the good old days when you bought an electrical appliancew and plugged it in an it worked?
Does that make me sound old? Don't answer that!

Some better news though is that I finally have a kitchen, which I had to clean this afternoon to clear the place of dirt and dust from the sanding of the living room floor. The bathroom is the next room to be worked on. My landlord is thinking of converting it into a wet-room, to which I commented, "You may as well, coz the floor is always covered in water anyway!" He totally missed what I was trying to hint at!!

Happy Birthday Mum

Today would have been my mum's birthday.

She's been gone 8 years now and I still go to call her every now and then.

Mum I miss you.

Had to share this...

I have just watched Deal or No Deal, for the first time in months, and it was a really funny episode. The woman picking boxes was a bit dippy (apparently she had fallen asleep during a game a couple of days ago!). She works night shifts in a nursing home and her name was Di Please!!! You just couldn't make it up.
Imagine it, your first day in the nursing home, you are getting on a bit and you meet your new nurse. Inquisitively you ask her name, "Di Please!" not exactly the welcome you are looking for. I was pissing myself.

This is one sexy-fucker!!

Baby Panda

This is soooo fun and cute. The poor mother!!!

I am getting close to breaking point

This flat is really getting on my nerves all the time now. I really hate living here, I think I am gonna have to look for somewhere else to live, but I'm gonna find that difficult as I can't really afford a deposit on a new place at the moment!

The thing that has me wound up this week is this:
An envelope of money has gone missing from my landlord's safe in the basement, silly bastard left it unlocked so he tells me! The chef, who he gave 1 month to leave last week told him that I had been in his office and he should watch me.
I HAD been in his office, which is always open, because I had been using the washing machine (which is in the basement) and found a pound coin. Kevin, the landlord is always leaving coins all over the place so I put it on his desk.
Now, Kevin says he didn't think that I would steal from him, but he has to have some doubts I guess. I know I would. I just feel like I'm not trusted any more, and I can't leave anything lying around now as I don't have a lock on my door.
And, I just want to fucking hit the twat of a chef who I have done nothing but help since he came here. I was even giving him advice on how to get into security as he said he was sick of cheffing!! And as per his request, said nothing to Kevin about him wanting to leave. The cunt!

On top of it all, the door to the basement is now locked and I don't know the code for the digi-lock, so I can't do my washing without a chaperone! Fucking ridiculous. I'm sure that Kevin would give me the code if I asked, but I shouldn't have to!

I'm a good person, why can't I just have a nice flat with good flat mates! AAARRRGGGHHHH!

My new obsession

Just searching through Wikipedia yesterday I discovered a new sub-section and am now obsessed with researching and reading stuff on there.

Wookiepedia

Wookiepedia is dedicated to Star Wars, and has details on characters, planets, races, stories, artists, actors and every other thing you could want to known about any aspect of Star Wars. If you are a Star Wars fan of any level, then check it out, it is well worth it.

Am I really that old?

Don't answer that!

I found out, just before I came to work tonight, that my niece is pregnant! It's early days yet, but I can't believe that I am going to be a great-uncle!!
Now i am already a GREAT uncle, but to be a great-uncle!!! Wow! I really do feel old!

National Coming Out Day

Apparently today is National Coming Out Day in the USA!

Why the hell do we need a specific day to come out of the closet?

I think it is a bad idea, and can you really see any celebrity endorsing it?

No!

Request for help

I have been trying to find one of my favorite comedy clips but cannot seem to get it anywhere. I have checked the web, but can't seem to find the one I want.
I am looking for a clip from the Australian comedy sketch show Full Frontal in which a romantic novelist goes to a police station to report a robbery, it is hilarious.
The show used to be aired late on a Friday or Saturday night here in the UK, probably on Channel 4 or BBC2 and my former house-mate and good friend Alexis and I had come back from a night out on the piss and watched a tape of a program he had taped. The episode showing this clip had been recorded as well and we sat watchig it and thought it was hilarious. I really want to find this clip to show everyone and we don't know anyone else who has seen it (except those subjected to it when they visit Alexis, who I believe still has the tape).

If you can help, please let me know.

"Mayhem in Milan" a must see

I just got an email from my best Aussie buddy Dean and he sent me a couple of reviews of the plays he is in at the moment, "Mayhem in Milan." It sounds like it is being well received and so, if you are in the area (Melbourne, Aus) then please go and check it (and him) out. Sounds like a great night out.

The reviews are great saying things like....

"For writer/director Christina Glucina’s debut play, her extensive training and background in acting and theatre is apparent. The other actors themselves are well accomplished with many of them coming from the Victorian College of the Arts and NIDA. In particular Dean Arcuri (Salvatore) and Christina Glucina (Frontonella) are both standouts as the competitive fashion designers."

and,

"Dean Arcuri’s comically camped-up portrayal of a top fashion designer and his two floozy lovers Marque (Stefan Trentini) and Jacque (Chad Mathew) earned the majority of the laughs on the night. Arcuri’s struggle to stay out of bed long enough to design anything for the big Milan Fashion Week, as well as the rivalries between his two lovers, provided the most engaging plot lines and likable characters."

Please go and support my mate Deano and let me know what you think. It is a MUST-SEE play as he is a star waiting to be discovered. Remember where you heard it first.

I don't normally like work out videos but he is gorgeous and has a lovely butt.

What is gonna come next? I can't make up my mind if this is good, or setting us back decades!

Murder By Death

Not much to do at work today, so we have Columbo on. Watching it, I was reminded of a fantastic film called "Murder By Death."
It also starred Peter Falk along with several other major stars including Maggie Smith, Peter Sellers, David Niven, Alec Guiness, Nancy Walker, Truman Capote, and Elsa Lanchester.
Most were playing spoof versions of famous literary detectives with names like Sam Diamond, Inspector Milo Perrier, Miss Jessica Marbles, Inspector Sidney Wang, and Dick and Dora Charleston. It is a bit slapstick but fantastically funny with Alec Guiness playing a blind butler and Nancy Walker playing a deaf maid.
I must look out for it on DVD. It is a must-see film.

cirque du soleil hand balancing

A more impressive strength act, but not as cute as the cesar twins.

Nice bit of beef to start the weekend....

My stuff on telly

I forgot to mention. I was watching the telly on Wednesday and was thrilled to see that the quick change artists, whose video I featured about a month ago (Sunday 10th September) were on the New Paul O'Grady Show. I was thrilled.
Then, I saw that the band OK go were featured on the News (Sky News, I think) because their music video (which I featured in 14th August) has helped to make their single a hit.

I am just so thrilled that I am ahead of the times with my blog. Well chuffed!

So, please someone listen to "Pussy Got Your Tongue", which I have featured twice now (last time on 16th August) and do a dance remix, just for me. Pleeeeaaaaassse!

The Incredible Cesar Twins

I just love strength acts like this. And, with the way they look and smile at each other just makes me think they shag each other too, but that is probably just my warped mind!!!!

Joey Barton's arse. NICE!

Nice body and a lovelly arse! Why would anyone complain about seeing that? I just don't understand.

Little Miss Revenge?

As I've said before that I love the Mr Men books. Well, there are some new books coming out as limited editions and they look good. I can see them being collectors items. Little Miss Stella tells the story of a fashion designer (Stella McCartney), then there is Mr Moneybags (Paul McCartney) and Little Miss Alimony (Heather Mills), ooohh bitchy!! Also they have Little Miss All Nighter (Kate Moss) and Little Miss Moss's Mate (Sadie Frost), Mr Moan (Chris Martin) and Little Miss Mutton (Madonna). I've been thinking what others they could have if theydecided to do more "real" Mr Men and Little Miss.

Of course there would be:

Little Miss Princess (Kylie),
Mr Self-Destruct (George Michael),
Little Miss Look-at-me (Paris Hilton),
Little Miss Skinny-Bitch (Nicole Ritchie),
Mr Mooner (Joey Barton),
Mr Molester (Gary Glitter),
Mr Bollocks (Wayne Rooney),
Mr Tattoo (David Beckham),
Mr Lanky (Peter Crouch),
Mr ex-Nazi (Pope Benedict XVI),
and
Mr Inappropriate (Congressman Mark Foley).

If anyone has any other good ones let me know.

I saw this on Conan O'Brien the other night and thought it was sooo funny.

Action Men

Glad to be at work

After hating my last 2 working shift, it seems strange, but I am actually glad to be back at work today. I really hate being at "home" at the moment for various reasons.

The main thing at the moment is the fact that the builder is still working on the kitchen. We haven't had a useable kitchen for 5 weeks now (it was only meant to be 1 week!). This means that I am very limited in what I can prepare to eat at home, basically I'm left with microwave meals and sandwiches!

On top of that I hate sharing the bathroom with guys who piss on the toilet seat (or worse, the floor) and do not clearing it up.

Also, I am constantly finding the toilet unflushed, luckily, I guess, that it is only with piss!

And thirdly, in the bathroom, my flatmates seen to prefer the drip-dry method when exitting the shower as I keep finding puddles on the floor. Unfortunately, with the poor lighting in the bathroom, I often only find the puddles by stepping in them, so I've taken to putting shoes on to go to the loo!!!!!

All my flatmates smoke and they never empty the ashtrays, but still insist on using a fresh one every time they sit down.

The door into the pub is at the bottom of the stairs outside my room, and is constantly being banged shut which reverberates through the walls of my room.

My landlord also loves to shout to get my attention, or to call the builders, which really annoys me. I am not a dog and I don't respond to being shouted for!!!

I think I am going to have to look for another place to live, it is just getting too stressful as all these things are constantly grating on me.

The agony is nearly over.

I have just finished 2 night shifts with one of the most annoying people I have ever met! 2 nights of 12 hours working with a man who just DOES NOT SHUT THE F**K UP!!!! I knew he was annoying and had some of my colleagues taking the p**s because they knew I would be working with him, on my own for 2 nights. But after the first half an hour of the first of the 2 shifts I was ready to kill the twat! I sent a polite email to my boss requesting that, if at all possible, I never work with him again. EVER!!!!
I know this request isn't going to be possible unfortunately.
He has done my head in!
Apart from not stopping talking, he goes over and over the same point, for hours on end. He even continued on the second night about something he was going on about on the first night!
On top of that, he doesn't listen to anything you tell him. And, even when he acknowledges what you've said to him, he ignores it and does what he wants, or was going to do, anyway!
It is just SO frustrating.
I just end up being really rude and ignoring everything he says, which isn't good when you are meant to be working WITH someone.

Thank god it is nearly over. I have, let me just check, 1 hr and 54 minutes left (at most) before I can go home and relax for 4 days! I'll need that long to recover from the trauma!

I feel sorry for the people on his normal shift, I really do.

Irresponsible use of HIV campaigners money!

USA:
Los Angeles: A billboard, paid for by the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Centre, has been put up around Southern California declaring, “HIV is a gay disease. Own it. End it.”
AIDS counsellors are worries that the ad campaign will further stigmatise the disease and affect research funding.
Source: UPI.com

My Take: I think this is a very foolish move by a LGBT organisation. Yes, gay men may be becoming more complacent about safe sex, but to declare HIV a “gay disease” will enforce anti-AIDS campaigner’s points of view, and give homophobic bigots further “reason” to attack gay men and lesbians in an attempt to “defeat the disease!” I think this should be condemned by all HIV and AIDS organisations and as many celebrities that can speak out against the claims of the ad, the better.
