gies a joab

Career - ones advancement through life in a profession or occupation working permanently in a specified profession. Slightly at odds with the more literal meaning, career, to lurch uncontrollably from one side, usually of the road, to another, before inevitably impacting a tree at high velocity and exploding in a ball of flames.
spam spam spam

On the day when Microsoft launched lawsuits against fifteen people/organisations responsible for all the spam email I get, I say not a moment to soon. Even my blog account has succumbed to this menance, and although I have only recieved one spam-mail on my blog account, you might laugh at its contents.....

hymn of the big wheel

For something to do yesterday we went to visit the Falkirk Wheel, and it was actually very impressive. Cool architecture and the theory behind how it works was interesting. It was all about Archimedes Theory of Water displacement and balance and circles and stuff. The wheel itself only takes the power of eight toasters to move the weight of 100 elephants. So, who would ever of thought that Scottish canals could be more than rat infested graveyards for shopping trolleys and paint sniffing jakeys?

Distraction

Today I have been distracted from writing up my dissertation by playing Mahjongg Towers and listenning to DMXs 'x gonna give it to ya' downloaded from i-mesh.
a truly stunning lack of originality

Just finished watching Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, which I used to think was a highly original film. Untill recently, that is, when I happened to watch City On Fire (Chow Yun Fat). City On Fire, is the film that Tarantino based Reservoir Dogs on. I use the phrase 'based on' far too lightly. More accurate would be 'plagurised.' Although blatant rip off is more than applicable. The story is in essence exactly the same, main characters similar, ending identical. The only real difference is the soundtrack, plot structure, and the cut off ear bit and the cafe scene at the start. No where on the titles does QT acknowledge the original film, infact it clearly states; written and directed by... himself. Now I remember when it was released, 1995, because my mate Chris had a massive cool poster, Lets Go To Work, and I was bought the screen play as a present. Even used to listen to a copy of the soundtrack. So for eight years I was under the impression that it was original, but its nothing more than a recycled idea.

Round Two

I watched the Harrison vs Ellis boxing match last night after finishing work. What was more interesting, and slightly worrying was the boxing that was going on at ringside, after and this is no joke, Herbie Hide apparently punched a woman in the face. I have to say that the BBC's coverage of the event was quality entertainment and included Audley Harrison after knocking down Ellis after one minute thirty of the rsecond round taking the microphone and asking the audience if they wanted to see him fight, Frank Bruno, sitting at ringside and retired for seven years. What followed after was lots of squaring up as audley became ringmaster of the "audley harrison show" before a more general brawl broke out at ringside as chairs and tables were thrown. The ugly face of boxing reared its head and detracted from what was otherwise a good fight. So cheers Don king for that one.
