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!

what the f...

well folks, after an extended christmas break I thought I'd get back into this blogging craic. if you are one of the 3 people who look at this page, thanks for persevering and on we go...

I don't know about you but I love to swear. bitch, fuck, shit, motherfucker...there's no better release of frustration or slagging someone off. Seemingly there are a few other people who like to swear too...



and if you were thinking only stupid people with small vocabularies swear, think again...

dear santa...I also want...

a ghostbusters proton pack (replica, of course). this little beauty will set you back a reasonable €680, well worth it I say.

my christmas party is movie themed fancy dress, I was thinking of going as a ghostbuster but the only proton pack I could find was a shitty inflatable one. I should have kept the one I had when I was 12, that was brilliant

so the list is now....
1. r2d2 projector
2. replica proton pack

I'm not a geek......i swear....

you little.......drummer

meet igor falecki. a regular polish kid with one difference. he's a drumming freak of nature. youtube videos popped up of him when he was 4, now 6, igor is a pro. with sponsorships from giants such as sabian, maypex and vic firth he is putting on concerts around europe.

but he didn't lick this knack up off the road. igors mother is a singing music graduate and his father, a bass guitarist. but this kids talent is unbelievable.…there's a lot to be said for pussy parents..

technology, my dear watson...

I know what your thinking...why does a 1930's style radio have usb ports? the reality is, this is a fully functioning PC!

they are made by a guy called Jeffery Stephenson, he has made numerous pc's in this art deco style. all of which don't look anything like a pc.

they would look great in an old timey, sherlock holmes type study...

dear santa...

I found this on the internet some time ago, but was reminded of it recently. This, my friends, is an R2D2 DVD/CD projector. it has to be the coolest bit of 'big boy toy' gadgetry I've ever seen. the only thing in its way of world domination....stairs.

I only other thing I'll say is watch the clip...again...and again

alter your state...

ever heard of binaural beats? no, me neither. but seemingly they were discovered in the early 1800's and are perceived to alter your mood and behaviour. listening to 2 separate low frequency tones (via earphones), your mind makes this into one sound with an apparent beat and this is said to stimulate different parts of the brain.

I Dose is a web site where you can stream several different types of beats(list below), giving different results. I listened to the creativity stream for a while to see if I'd get any divine inspiration, but all I thought of was that I should have turned on the kettle before I came upstairs! then when no one was looking, I tried the PMS relief....but that just gave me a headache....go figure...

super obama world...

i love the internet. especially when you come across gems like this.

it looks like 'super obama' has gone to alaska to take out the evil forces of palin. as you collect american flags in lieu of coins you can't help but snigger.

a must for any politically minded gamer...

fake tan raider

meet the new laura croft... Alison Carroll. the british gymnast joins a long list of models and actresses who also have worn t-shirts that were too small. but none before have been introduced in such a 'fake tanned' fashion. it seems like she didn't go high enough or......it got rubbed off.....emmm......I'll let you decide.....

chopper says....

this is ronnie johns. an australian comedian who, wikipedia will tell you, has a sketch show in oz called 'the ronnie johns half hour'. but the rest of us around the world know him better for his spoof on mark 'chopper' read. any one who has seen the movie 'chopper' should enjoy this......
