Britain HAS Got Talent!

Not that I usually watch reality tv, but I saw this on saturday night and it really really made me laugh!!!
If anyone can watch this and not even crack a smile, they dont have a sense of humour!

Home Improvement

Most people who know me will know that Home Improvement is my favourite TV show!!!

It stars Tim Allen as a DIY tv show host, and basically anything he touches, he wants to modify to have “more power!”  he normally destroys whatever he is working on…

Here are a couple of videos of my favourite moments from season 1.  I’ll probably post more clips of the show in time

The first Video is of Tim on his “new and improved” Lawn Mower

Second, tim is pretending to drive his new hot rod! a running theme of the whole program is tim and his hot rod, he buys it as scrap and restores it!

Undertaker – Royal Rumble

Once again, I was drawn into my old pass time of WWE wrestling last night.  I dont watch it half as much as I used too.  As I have mentioned before on this site, I was a massive fan of The Undertaker.  I always try to watch the royal rumble match as it was probably the biggest part of watching wrestling for me…  

I was over the moon last night early hours of this morning to see the undertaker won the royal rumble match and booked himself a WWE title shot at wrestlemania, before anyone says, I know its all scripted and it has been rumored for months that he would win, but its still cool to see.  My other childhood Favourite, HBK Shawn Michaels was the 2nd last man, and to see them battle it out was like being 6 again  lol.  The Undertaker had done everything in the WWE, apart from win a Royal Rumble, now he has    He has been around long before I watched Wrestling and is still going now, although he will have to retire one day, as he is in his 40+ now, and real or not wrestling is still very physical, the guy is one hell of an athlete.  Keep going undertaker!!!

Have a look on Phenom Forever for a more detailed look at the match and the reaction to the result.

Top Gear – Richard Hammonds Crash

I watched Top Gear last night, as everyone knows, It showed Richard Hammond’s Crash.  It was almost scary watching it and quite freaky the fact that before doing it he commented that if it went wrong it could be one of the biggest crashes ever seen.  Little did he know that it would end up that way.

If you haven’t seen it already, here is the footage.  The first run was done without the afterburner, but even so, he managed to get it to a speed of 220mph, second and third runs were done with the afterburner on, reaching speeds of around 314mph.  Notice after the second run, Hammond says “oh yes, I’m so alive, so alive”, he also mentions that ”the roll bar digs into the ground, along with my head, and that stops it very quickly”. 

I would like to say that it is a total miracle that he managed to return to our screens last night on the show, as Jeremy said, he showed great bravery to do it in the first place and even greater bravery to get through his recovery.  Here is another bit of footage from another crash he had… He wasn’t hurt in this one though.

A few things I didn’t like about last nights show…  Firstly, the fact that top gear received a lot more viewers, but it took a man nearly dying to get them to watch, as a fan of the show regardless, I dislike the fact that there are millions of new “top gear fans” out there, who have probably never seen an episode of top gear until last night.  Secondly, the fact that Jeremy seemed to have a dig James May (who was meant to be doing the stunt in the first place, but backed out.  Jeremy said “you were very brave getting in that thing, I wouldn’t have done it and he (James May) certainly wouldn’t have! I might have been reading a bit to much into it but there we are…

Closing statement from Jeremy “one thing we’ve learned from Richard, speed kills!” which drew a bemused look out of Hammond

Brainiac Lunchbox Test

Here’s a clip from one of my favourite shows Brainiac.

All you have to do is count the number of times a certain lunchbox is passed arond

Have a go

New Coat

I got a new coat today. In the picture it looks black, but it is infact blue.  Very similar to the coat worn by Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood.  Just not as long.

 The coat was a bit of a bargain too, down to £30 from £90

The Doctor and Rose

I’ve had this saved on my favourites on youtube for a while now, but I thought I’d share it.  Its a video of The Doctor and Rose incase you hadn’t guessed.  It also has one of my favourite songs on there too. The song is Collide – Howie Day.  Enjoy!
