Oh Brother!

So though I hate Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother and if I had one, my actual bigger brother, I find it quite hilarious that the only person they put into the Celebrity Big Brother house that isn't classed as a "celebrity" (though there were many that should be dismissed) won the whole show! I must say that is rather excellent!

Some Sort Of A Lawsuit©

So, The city of Los Angeles (or LA) has sued Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. for selling pornographic video games to children with its best-selling game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," which last year was found to have hidden sex scenes. LA obviously regards people 18 or over as children then (and I was under the impression it was people from Texas who were backwards)

The lawsuit demands that Take-Two and Rockstar Games, the subsidiary behind "Grand Theft Auto," one of the best-selling in video game franchises history, stop marketing the games to children, pay fines and return $10 million (5.6 million pounds) in profits. Shares of Take-Two plunged 18.4 percent to $13.90 on the Nasdaq in late morning trade, after earlier hitting an almost three-year low of $13.68.

Hey Hey We're The Arctic Monkeys

Indie favourites the Arctic Monkeys have reportedly snubbed this years Brit Awards.
Show organisers were reportedly desperate to sign them up for a performance at the event, but the publicity-shy band turned them down.
They hit the top of the charts last year after what is known as a viral marketing campaign on the internet, with their single, I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.

It is rumoured that the four-piece are not comfortable appearing on TV and have vowed never to perform on shows like CD:UK or Top Of The Pops. Okay so it may be the year of the monkey but they had no right to call the Brits and I quote "un-cool" Didn't you boys hear who else was playing?

Kaiser Chiefs, Gorillaz, Jack Johnson, Coldplay, James Blunt and KT Tunstall.

Man Vs Door

Okay, I'm a freakmonster. I'm a little tiny bit scared of doors. I don't know why, maybe I was attacked by a malfunctioning sliding door when I was a child or something. Did anybody notice me cower at the doors at the restaurant the other night? When I couldn't open them at first I felt inferior. Door 1 Me 0. I also hate the doors at the cottage hospital in town, sure they open for you when you enter, but when you want to exit you have to find some hidden switch (which may or may not be booby trapped!), however, today as I was leaving the hospital (I had my blood taken if you must know) somebody else (an attractive woman if you MUST know) was leaving before me, so I managed to sneak out without embarrassment. Success. Door 1 Me 1.

Blood God's Money

Firstly sorry for the crudeness of the photo, I don't have scanning capabilities, apart from ones that let me read peoples minds, obviously. So anyway, this fake $1 Million note was given to me by somebody I don't know while I was at work. He made some comment that it was "really worth $1 Million" even though it obviously isn't. So I laughed, thought "cool" and went back to work, however on closer inspection I found out that this was more than just a hilarious substitute for Monopoly money and it was in fact a tool to recruit people to the faith of Christianity and to the way of God. I will not soil this blog by quoting the note but I will give you this address which is printed on it, if you are slightly curious then check it out but I haven't as I'm not going to be forced a long a path I'm not willing to take. That said, off the record I am a (sort of) Christian and believe in God/Heaven.

The Death Of The TV Presenter

We love you RB we watch you everyday on MTV

Although you probably didn't know, that was a line from a song Richard Blackwood (a presenter on MTV) released back when he and MTV and importantly to this post TV presenters were at their peak. Reality TV has killed most TV presenters off, it's a crying shame (for wannabe presenters anyhoo). Somewhere between Michael Barrymore finding a dead man in his pool after a cocaine bender and John Leslie having a 3 way sex romp, TV presenting has become less called for. Most reality TV shows basically present themselves thus taking away the need for some muppett to present them, of course Big Brother and Space Cadets were two exceptions to the rule. MTV still has it's
TRL with the very likeable Dave Berry and Alex Zane, but as my post so clearly points out (and since when was I ever wrong? Apart from all the time) they are a dying breed, and by dying I mean they just aren't as popular.

Tour de England

LONDON (Reuters) - London will host the first stage of the 2007 Tour de France, mayor Ken Livingstone announced on Tuesday.

"I am proud to announce that London has successfully bid to host the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in July 2007,"

Livingstone said in a statement. The route will be announced at a later date and is expected to include landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament.

The National Obsession

Fuck chip and fuck pin. For those of you unfortunate enough to work in the retail business you will no doubt be aware of the publics national obsession with Mr Chip and Mrs Pin. It's replaced the weather as the most talked about thing, which is striking seen as the weather has actually been pretty poor lately (not Russia-Poor, but it was -6 this morning, fuck!) Some people, mainly the old and confused are scared of chip and pin, maybe they see it as the devils work or maybe despite it's simplicity they just don't darn well get it. Others are actually chip and pin-whores, lusting after entering their digits into those little black boxes like they probably lust after cheap booze and sex, and when you regretfully tell them "sorry sir, we haven't actually started using chip and pin yet" they get that red mist in their eyes and the tone of their voice changes and you just know they want to rip your pretty little face off.

We Of The Swaefas

We all know Wikipedia is like some kind of crazed assassin that hunts down information like Blade hunts down vampires. But what you probably didn't know is what it had to say about Swaffham which (take note if you want to hunt us down for some kind of futuristic blood-sport] is where we blog from, in two secret locations , and by secret I mean we still live with our parents.

"Swaffham is a town (population 6935[1]) in Norfolk, England and is named after an Anglo-Saxon tribe named the "Swaefas".

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the town had a flourishing sheep and wool industry.

The Market Cross was built by the writer Horace Walpole and presented to the town in 1783. On the top is the statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest.

The town is the home of infamous 'lotto lout' Michael Carroll.

The five-mile £5m part-dual-carriageway A47 bypass opened in June 1981."

This is the blog of Alex and Justin, aka Gilmour and Shough aka Ruomlig and Hguohs aka The Accountant and The King aka the policeman and the Waitrose-man. So, why 897 well, could it be that there is some kind of secret meaning? Some kind of Lost-esq hidden deeper mysteries? Did fate lead us to this point? Well, no, no and maybe. This is our blog, this is your blog, this is the blog.
