Apprentice final tonight

 It's the 2015 Apprentice final tonight, Vana Koutsomitis goes head to head with  Joseph Valente, personally I hope Joseph wins, in my opinion Vana has coasted through by keeping her head down, Joseph on the other hand has saved a few tasks, and seems a genuinely nice bloke.  That said neither of these would have been my choices from the starting crowd.
 Who will win?   Watch it and see like me.

Strange skies reported over Wales...

 There have been a number of reports of a strange glowing ball in the sky over Wales this morning, some people claim that the normally grey skies showed some blue hints.
 A few old age pensioners say they remember skies like this from their childhood in Wales, it was known then as blue skies and sunshine.......  And yes, I am a sarcastic bastard... but yesterday I was really grumpy as well as sarcastic!  Who knows what tomorrow will bring........

What do people expect from a job?

 Over the years I've seen people expect strange thins from a job, this week it was a man who catches fair dodgers on the London underground.  He caught a chap for dodging his fair and was promptly battered senseless. Now we all know he shouldn't have to be attacked at work, but the bit that got me was just how surprised he was about it.
 Lets be honest catching people dodging paying has to have an element of risk about it, so why be surprised when it happens?  I'm just surprised it doesn't happen every day.

 Then there was the policeman who got really annoyed about yobs shouting abuse at him during a street row "I don't expect to be treated like he says" (or something like that)  He's a bloody cop on duty, if he can't take a bit of verbal abuse he's in the wrong job isn't he. Did he really become a policeman expecting everybody he met to be nice?

 Then we the paramedics and police and sadly now the fire and rescue people (used to be the fire service) now refusing to go in and help people because there's some risk or other.
 Really? What the bloody hell did they think those jobs entailed? Mending muffins?  Sticking plasters on fluffy cushions?  Putting out very small fires in ash trays? No you silly sods, of course theres a risk, thats exactly the reason your there, to help, if there wasn't a problem they wouldn't have bloody called you would they.
 Having the police fire and ambulance standing there taking selfies while you burn to death must be a great comfort.

 Sadly I'm old enough to remember when these people did those jobs to serve and help their communities. Not because it was a "safe" job.

Isn't it strange how things just vanish?

 I don't know if your house is like mine, but by heck doesn't stuff just vanish.  Take for example my old army water bottles.  Each bottle comes with a plastic mug on the top, theres also a metal mug that's designed for heating food. Now the metal mug is pretty much the same shape as the plastic, but you can burn your mouth if the teas hot. Can I find the mugs off my water bottles.... No I bloody can't
 My plates are disappearing... Now I do know where they are going, my sons bedroom, but can I get them back... No!
 Then I spent an hour this morning trying to find a small pouch thing that goes on my belt and carries a large field dressing. Now I do admit I haven't needed to use the thing in years, but after the Paris attack the odds of needing a large dressing seem a lot more of a possibility. And as these things are made to treat a gunshot it occurred to me it just might come in handy.
 Yes, ok my dozy part of the world probably isn't high on ISIS target list, but I have really bad luck, so sod it I'm carrying the bastard...... Now where the bloody hell is that tourniquet......

The walk 2015 (film review)

 "Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man - Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) - has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photo realistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film, a PG-rated, all-audience entertainment for moviegoers 8 to 80, unlike anything audiences have seen before, is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, ..." IMDb

 Well having read what it says in IMDb  above and having just seen the film I'm wondering what they watched, cos it wasn't what I saw thats for sure!.
 Frankly the film is awful.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a inspector Clouseau-esque accent, and my God it's slow.
 While the CGI is well done and you'd swear they'd rebuilt the twin towers for the movie, it's painfully slow and boring, I was so bored I ate my own hand... luckily it grew back... regeneration I suppose, still it'll come in handy for something. 
 Seriously, give this film a miss and watch the million times better Man on a Wire 2008 that has the man himself Philippe Petit in it and actual footage of the real thing.

Waynes rating 1/10  And it only got the 1 for the CGI....

X factor final.

Well tonight is the X Factor final,  in the final we Louisa Johnson, a talented singer with a great voice and we have Reggie "N" Bollie who leap around the stage like Zebedee on acid, and shout a lot, of course they do have a Bollywood style production going on around them to take attention away from the fact they have as much singing talent as used bathwater.  So I wonder who'll win......  Yep probably!

The best part of last nights show was Louie Walsh in a spoof advert.

Louisa

And Reggie N Bollie, well they are in there somewhere.......

Sort of photo

 As I haven't taken any pics for a while and it's pouring with rain, I made this in photoshop, it's just a pattern, but it's a bit of fun.  It's fire through glass spiralded.
