Something for the weekend, Sir

Courtesy of B3ta, a couple of YouTube vids that amuse, and that I thought I might share.

First off is something I need. Very easy to do, and I wonder why I never thought of it before:



Second is just brilliant.



Good old VW.

Good work

I came across this while idly surfing this evening. I liked it enough to put it here.

"Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn't the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating."

4x4s - Reason One

I no longer own a 4x4 (well, I do, but the 38-year-old Series 2 Land Rover on the back drive doesn't work, so that doesn't count), but sometimes I wish I still did.

Old times, old habits

Thought it was time for a couple of funnies. It really wasn't that long ago ...









Been free of the weed for two-and-a-half years now. Anyone have any hints on giving up the nicotine replacement therapy?

Ladybird, Ladybird

I am, to my regret, old enough to remember Ladybird books.

They didn't have these when Ah wor a lad, mind.

At last, a sport I can get into

Extreme Lying Down.

Rules: lie down somewhere, arms by sides, feet pointing at the floor.

The more improbable the place, the better. And getting someone to take a photo of it is better still. There's a whole Facebook thing devoted to it (apparently).

And that's it. I reckon I could be good at this. I'm off training right now. While you wait for me to come back (it may be a long time), here are some pictures to get you in the mood.
