Canned laughter!

I watched a 'hit' US comedy show the other night, it had some of the worst canned laughter I've ever heard.  Canned laughter!  They are saying the program is so un-funny that you need to know when the lines were supposed to be funny in the first place, and my god the show was crap, not one proper laugh in it. 
Another thing, how come I keep seeing 'Brand new hit comedy show'  How the hell can a brand new show be a hit, no buggers seen it yet, and why is the humour in US comedy programs seemingly aimed at 10 year old's.

Don't look down

The documentary followed James Kingston an urban free climber, who for fun scales those really high cranes on building sites. He then travels to Russia to meet the world famous Mustang Wanted, another free climber.
Scary isn't the word, it's bloody terrifying!  The risks these urban climbers take is frightening, and if you watch the program it'll come as no surprise that at least 16 have died in Russia alone, more worrying is the fact they often hang over the sides of cranes and building by one hand, bad enough if they fall, but remember theres people on the ground below as well, so they could very easily kiil innocent bystanders as well.

Going to bed

The other night I was laying in bed and it got me thinking about how illogical going to bed actually is.
I mean think about it, not the actually going to sleep bit, our bodies need to sleep, but the going up to bed part, it just doesn't make much sense.  We spend all day wearing warm clothes in a nice warm room, then we take the warm clothes off and put thin cold ones on, then we go to a cooler room to go to sleep.  Madness! why not sleep in the warm room in the first place? I mean we have hot water bottles and electric blankets to try and get warm in the cold bedroom, as Spock would say  "illogical captain"

Star Trek tv series

Now I grew up with the original Star Trek series so I suppose it's no surprise that it's my favorite, now with the series been shown again on satellite it's another chance to watch them.......  Except it's not really.  You see while they made 80 episodes I only ever see about the same 15 or so, constantly repeated over and over again.  I can only assume the station was to mean to but the full series and only bought selected 'popular' episodes.

Train pictures.

Bored out of my mind I went to a bridge over a railway line and took some pics, now I'm not a train spotter so I have no real idea of what sort of trains they are, only that one is a high speed train and the other a local commuter train.

Ian Brady

Mental health experts warn that Ian Brady (76) is a danger to the public.  What!   The Ian Brady who murdered five children in the nineteen sixties? still a danger you say, surely not? (large dollop of sarcasm)   Now tell us something we didn't know.

HSBC madness!

Over recent weeks HSBC bank has had a number of issues, customers couldn't use their cards etc, some reports suggested the bank may have been hacked, other reports claimed software issues.
But now the story gets even better, customers have to prove why they want THEIR money if it's a larger amount.....  Errr it's their bloody money, it doesn't matter what they want it for, it's not the banks job to stop it's own customers spending their own hard earned cash on what ever they like.
I suspect this will be a step too far for many of the loyal customers the bank has left.  Time to get your money out people is my advice!
