Thanks again to all the Twitter peeps who turned me on to much of this stuff.
I…I don’t know where to begin. God bless you, Glasgow Diamonds! God bless your fake rap, your silent saxaphone, the guy on the piano (THE GUY ON THE PIANO!), the cheerleaders waving their pom poms while they pass another industrial estate in the rain in cars hired from Mexander Autos. I love you all!
And don’t stand too close to that swimming pool! Ohhhhh! Too late!
(Thank you @AdamBeGood!)
p.s. no need to watch it past the video. It runs on, for some reason.
Oh, dear. Well, at least it’s made an incredibly boring website fractionally more entertaining. (Thanks, @Teamlambert!)
The Chris Ware New Yorker cover is a thing of beauty. (Click link to enlarge)
(UPDATE: It reminded me of something…)

A lot of people are up in arms about the new ‘Doctor Who’ logo. I have to say I agree with their concerns. There are so many things wrong with it, it’s difficult to know where to start.
Found this in my email inbox today….
“The Cavan Minor Team of 1959 recently held their 50-year anniversary to commemorate their All-Ireland final appearance of that year. Most of the team are still alive but one of the players, reported to be dead in the Anglo Celt newspaper the previous week, turned up at the function.” Rumours of his death had been somewhat exaggerated. He had actually been living on the streets for years but had somehow got wind of the affair.
Can you see him? I guess the photo’s a bit small. Maybe I can find a different shot…let’s see…
Oh, here we are! See if you can spot him in this one.
(Thanks, Gavin!)
And now…the DVD extras!
I like the way there were so few toys available at the time, you could more or less name them all.
(Thanks @Phlaimeaux and @AdamMaguire!)
