Watching Ed Sheeran At The Brits From My Infamous Sofa!

So tonight I watched the Brit Awards for the first time in what is probably the best part of two decades, for one reason and one reason alone, and that was Ed Sheeran!

I don’t usually watch them because I don’t normally identify with modern mainstream music. There just isn’t much of it out there that I like or listen to. The majority of the stuff I listen to is either old school rock’n’roll, or albums and EPs made by the numerous unsigned bands and musicians that I follow around religiously! Continue Reading

So, You Wanna Build A Death Star?

Star Wars fans will be pleased to know that those geeky geniuses at Centives have actually sat down and tried to work out exactly how one would go about building the legendary Death Star.

However, any budding super-villains out there shouldn’t get their hopes up, their calculations suggest that although there is enough iron in the earth’s core to build approximately 2 Billion Death Stars, at today’s rate of steel production, you are looking at its construction taking something like 833,315 earth years.Continue Reading

Beware the Googlighting Stranger

Microsoft asks what happens when the world’s largest advertising business tries to sell productivity software on the side?

I think it is pretty funny and love how Microsoft is hated for this, but Apple was genius for doing the same thing.

Japan – The Place For Perfection

Wow, I’ve just read an article in the Wall Street Journal that gave a fantastic summary of all the great things about Japan and Japanese culture, and now I really want to visit the place!

It discusses how the Japanese economy, style and culture have adapted to the global recession of the last few decades, having previously enjoyed a vigorous economy in the boom-years of the 80’s. Back before this current depression in the global economy, Japanese exports were in massive demand, and the country would import the very best from around the world, whether it was a top French chef or Italian fashion designers.

Man Survived for 2 Months Inside a Snowed in Car

A 45-year-old man from southern Sweden was dug out alive on Friday after being snowed in to his car on a forest track since December 19 with no food and only a sleeping bag to keep warm.

Snowmobilers who spotted his vehicle near the northern city of Umea initially thought they had come across a car wreck until they dug their way to a window and saw a dangerously thin person living inside.

“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas,” a rescue team member told the local newspaper Vasterbottens-Kuriren.

Normally humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food, according to doctors at the Umea University Hospital, where the 45 year old is recovering.
Dr Stefan Branth, believe the man probably survived by eating snow and going into a dormant-like state.

“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that,” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees (Celsius) which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”

It remained unclear how the man found himself stuck in the snow to begin with.

Put Your Boobies Away Love, That’s Sexual Harassment!

The forever blazing debate on the hot topic of sexual harassment and what is and isn’t construed as it has just had some serious fuel added to its fire!

The latest topic that everyone is talking about is the claim from certain ‘Men’s Rights Activists’ that women who dress provocatively are somehow to blame for sexual harassing the men around them that they arouse, but will not engage in sexual activity with. They want to implement actual changes to the law to make sure that women either cover-it-up or give-it-up! Continue Reading

Chisora vs Haye – Theatre or Thuggery ?

There is one thing that sports fans are discussing this week, and that is the post fight press-conference brawl that broke out between British Heavyweight Boxers David Haye and Dereck Chisora.

Chisora had just gone 12 rounds with World Champion Vitali Klitschko, he lost the match on points, and was generally outclassed by the supreme Ukrainian, however, he fought bravely, and could have been proud of his performance in the match he went into as a complete underdog. Unfortunately ugly scenes broke out in the press conference and the majority of the media attention has been about the events that unfolded there and very few words were actually written about the boxing match that preceded it.Continue Reading
