Outnumbered clip to enjoy

Chance to enjoy the brilliance of Outnumbered.   I first saw this episode on Thursday night and am still laughing about this selection of clips from it.  Karen is on fine form as usual.  Outnumbered clips

Having been having some computer problems, my Dell desktop hard drive seems to have packed up, so am waiting for a device that will touch wood rescue the said drive.

Have a good holiday weekend, for those of you in the United Kingdom.

Something for the UFO fans out there

Here are some links I discovered searching Google for UFO related sites.

With the neighbours cast seemly dwindling in numbers - i.e a lot of the cast leaving or heading to London, I thought this link might help fans.

Don't forget to use the soap chatter forum on the blog.

Huygen probe videos on youtube

Following watching the BBC4 programme "Destination Titan" I thought I'd share some youtube videos regarding the pictures from the Huygen probe.    Huygen's probe lands on Titan

Now this is what I really love about blogging, sharing information that I find enjoying to read and hoping you will enjoy too.

On a different theme, here is a useful Mozart related web site, with lots of great information on the composer. http://www.mozartproject.org/index.html

Needless to say I'm already fed up with the BBC's advert for the Royal Wedding coverage.

More thoughts

Something puzzles me about celebrities appearing on chat shows.  They always seem so upbeat and positive about things.  A nice smile and a warm hand shake and the interview starts in earnest.
    “So, how’s the tour been?” asks one presenter
    “Absolutely amazing, you know, wonderful, great to be on the road and seeing the fans again”.

Of course a star is never going to complain or grumble, there’s the appearance fee, plus album and song royalties to rake in - even unsold tickets to sell.

And yet, you never have a complaining star on a chat show:
    “Well, you know, I hate living in hotels, living out of a suit case” sigh and more you knows “The food is terrible, the endless hand shakes are giving me RSI” exhale “I wake in the middle of the night seeing flash builds from the camera’s - HELP ME IT’S TERRIBLE!”.

Bemused looks from each presenter.

The Bad Tempered Prima Donna has arrived!!


Added to the infuriating adverts list:-

ISA - especially ISA, ISA Baby, and the inflating castle - don't forget to take your shoes off, health and safety!

Back with some more thoughts soon.

Doctors clip.

I was searching you tube for a clip or clips of actor Leonard Fenton's recent appearance in the BBC TV afternoon show Doctors but could not find anything.  EastEnders fans will best know Mr Fenton for playing Dr Harold Legg..

Karen and Zara's fight and aftermath who will forget this memorable episode, I couldn't stop laughing for most of it.

I was doing a web search the other day and as 2012 is fast approaching came across this interesting article regarding the Mayan End of Age http://www.adishakti.org/mayan_end_times_prophecy_12-21-2012.htm

Well, lets hope not, perhaps I'll just stay in bed.













































Have a great day :)

There was an earthquake in Blackpool on Friday 1st April http://socyberty.com/holidays/blackpool-earthquake-2011-april-fools-day-hoax/  Needless to say I didn't feel anything and when it was announced on North West Today's lunch time programme, I like many others thought it was an April fools joke despite the time being nearly 13.45 p.m.  A quick check of teletext revealed there had been one!
