Eaten alive... or more a nasty suck?

Paul Rosolie 27 had planned to get eaten alive by an anaconda, wearing  a special armoured suit he got as far as letting the snake nibble his head before getting his team to rescue him, apparently the snake, a constrictor was hurting his arm.  What the hell did he expect?
Another success for the discovery channel then, what exactly have we discovered this time.  That it's a bad idea to get eaten alive by an anaconda? That the discovery channel can waste hours on total rubbish again? No I think the best thing we've discovered is it's best not to watch the so called discovery channel in the first place.

Doctor Who's original address.

The original address given for Doctor Who is 76 Totters lane, a scrapyard.  Thats the address Susan the Doctors grandaughter gives the school she is in and thats the address her two teachers find the Doctor and the Tardis (name also invented by Susan.).

Playing with fire.

Well it's not exactly fire but it is burning so you have to be a bit careful... I certainly wont be doing it in the petrol station....  again!
Anyway after a long struggle to actually get the images off the card (long story) I finally have them home so here goes.

On a serious note this is potentially dangerious, if you do try this make sure your on a surface that wont burn and be carful, the stuff goes a long way and can burn for some time after it looks to have gone out.

The Christmas tree is coming out

My eldest son likes setting up the Christmas tree so today we are doing ours and my mothers tree (with luck) I used to love Christmas by as I get older and Christmas gets more and more commercialised I'm loosing interest, lets face it the real spirt of Christmas is long gone.
Maybe if it wasn't rammed down our throats for three months before Christmas it would be different, but now by the time it comes I'm sick to death of hearing about it.

Retard repellent?

Can someone please point me in the direction of a shop that sells retard repellent?  Seriously!   It doesn't matter where I am, the bloody retards always find me. And frankly I'm getting very pissed off with it.
This evening I was on a deserted beach about 4 miles long and the fucking mindless moron still homed in on me, 4 bloody miles of empty beach at night and the bastard still comes to the only bit I'm on. 
Why for Gods sake?  
Does it really not occur to other people that some of us like to be left alone, "he's only being friendly" says someone, well so was bloody Dr Crippin but I don't want him for a mate either. 
I have friends, and if I want more I'll choose them myself, not just pick up wandering retards at night off the bloody beach.
I'm sorry to rant but I'm reaching the point where sooner or later I'm going to turn nasty with one of these dozy idiots, and as the Hulk used to say "you won't like me when I'm angry" well trust me you wont be jumping for joy with me either when I finally loose it.
So heres an idea, if you see a stranger wandering about minding his own business, bloody leave him alone, it might be me in a REALLY BAD MOOD!!!!

Cree 3 in 1 T6 headlamp review update

While using this today I discovered a feature I missed in my Sept review of the headlamp.
On the back of the battery box (on the back of your head) is a red light, a panel thats lit up when the torch is on.  This could be a usefull feature if your cycling or something similar.

Save us from geeks!!! And cows.

The tech geeks at Apple have been working on a solution for broken screens on Iphones... And the one they come up with is brilliant!  I must admit I wouldn't have thought of it.
Their plan is very simple... Well in a geeky sort of way!
The plan is to fit the Iphones with a sensor that detects when it's dropped, then a gyroscope inside rotates the phone (rather like a cat falling rights itself) so it falls safest side down, then it's thought a compressed gas canister will fire to act as a retro rocket to slow the phone down at the last second before impact.
As I said brilliant!  Personally I'd have done it the easy way and fitted a polycarbonate screen instead of wafer thin glass, but then what do I know.
And people wonder why an Iphone costs £500.... Guess!

An analogy.
Some years back the British army were having problems with cows, yes seriously!  You see cows were going and giving away observation posts (op's as the army calls them)) by gathering around them, this drew attention to the op.  Now the army called in experts, they had psychologists, vets, camouflage experts, they spent months trying different things.  The vets said the cows were nosey, the psychologists thought the soldiers were seen as a cow gods (you couldn't make this stuff up)  The camouflage people said cows can see in infra red so they could see through the camouflage around the op, which the vets disagreed with. 
The fact was whatever they tried failed, then someone got the bright idea to ask the farmer who's cows they were using for the test.
He told them the cows knew there were people in the op, and people fed them, so they went where they thought they would get fed.
Sometimes the easy answer is not getting too clever, go for the easiest solution, it's usually cheaper as well.
Rotating retro firing phones FFS!!!
