Jager Cork in a Bottle

Video says it all really... we were rather drunk! What's been stuffed into the top of the bottle is a Jagermeister Test Tube Shot Glass (Made from plastic thankfully)

Didn't video it but after this Paul decided to break the top off the bottle to get to his drink. the only bit that didn't shatter into a thousand pieces was the neck... still with the Test Tube stuck in it!

Chillow

Naomi for Christmas got this nifty little thing called a Chillow. Basically it's a foam filled pad that you refrigerate and place in a pillow case along with the pillow and it keeps cool all night. How brilliant is that! I for one am forever turning over pillows during the night to get the cool side (I'm nearly always hot in bed). Only problem is she only has one so I end up sneaking over during the night and sharing her pillow :-)

Whoever thought of this is a genius... Now all i need is a chill-duvet to go with it... Somewhat think I'd need a industrial fridge to put it in... But that would be awesome in summer :)

The Spiderwick Chronicles

Munchkin Walking

The after show party's put on by the Abingdon Operatic Society are always dead funny. But it's a lot of inside jokes that I normally need explaining to understand, this rendition of Kung-Fu Fighting by the Munchkins had me in stitches from the word go :-)

The Orphanage

Sonic does MarioKart Wii


Naomi's just got a copy of MarioKart Wii, I have to say I was a total sceptic of the Wii wheel as a control system. But after a little getting used to it's sensitivity (or lack of) it feels really natural. One issue I had with the Gamecube version is that it's so easy to go from 1st to last after a simple mistake or attack from a fellow player is very annoying... This is still present in the Wii version, but as with the Gamecube version it's quickly ignored as it's such a fun game to play, especially with friends.

Just don't get it


Saw this poster for leak proof shower gel and deodorant... I just don't understand it? Any ideas?

Mini's are a Cult Icon

Mini's are a real British cultural icon, the earliest car I can remember is my mums old Mini Traveler... a little something like this:



but these days it rare to see a "Proper Mini" (IE Not one of the new Medium size German Minis).



See it's huge in comparison... looks even bigger when you're parked next to one in a car park with a real Mini.



Naomi has a mint condition Mini which she loves to bits, her first car was a Mini and since then she's always ownded one. And as long as she can still maintain/buy one she always will... as Mini's are for life you know :-)



I saw this Mini on the way home from work, sadly you can't quite read it... but it says "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"



The Italian Job is a fantastic film... the 1969 version that is, not the 2003 remake but that's a rant for another day.



Randomly found this on the web... now that's a Mini you don't mess with :-)

Propper 4x4



Now that's what you call a 4x4, none of this namby pamby Chelsea tractor stuff... this will get you over anything... including parked cars! Must be dead easy changing the exhaust... all you do is stand under it! But that does pose the question, how do you get in? does a step ladder fold down when you open the door?

Snow in Witney

Well spring is so obviously not here yet... but I do love snow :-)
