The difference music can make

We've all heard the theme music to different srokes, an uplifting ditty that fits well with the positive images of a father picking up his kids. Here, someone has changed the theme music to the well loved TV show in favour of something a little different. I think you'll agree it changes the tone of the show......a little.



Makes you think what the show would have been like had this been the music...

swings, roundabouts.........and parking


somewhere in eastern europe (where all the good ideas come from) a designer has come up with a novel solution to on-street parking barriers that benefits young and old...

the parking barrier swing!

it is made of a tubular steel design that can be folded neatly into the ground, which the owner locks into place. the idea being that kids that play on the steets during the day can play on it while still maintaining it's function as a parking barrier. then at night when the mammy and daddy get home they put the swing down and everyone goes in for dinner! I have a couple of questions...

1. Who is supervising the kids playing in the steets if mammy and daddy are off on a drive and...
2. what happens if the parents get home early?....the party's over!

if trailers are anything to go by...

...then X-Men Origins: Wolverine is going to be on of my favourite films. c'mon, who doesn't want 3 blades on each hand? actually hold that thought, going to the toilet could be a who different experience...



but then again, maybe I shouldn't put so much faith in movie trailers...
