A funny video...

Here is a very funny video. I came across this cruzin the interwebs the other day. Its sooo funn3y! :-)

1 8 ton dead whale and a 1/2 ton of explosives. Hilarious!

You have to watch this Youtube video! It is hilarious to the very end!

Attention metal thieves...? :-)

An article from The Register caught my eye. It starts with the following statement:

British Telecom is, as a telecoms company, worth minus £30bn. Yes, that's a negative number there. And yet it is literally sitting on top of billions in assets.

and ends with this:

That's the problem we've got with the young people of today: no ambition.

The entire article is located here, and is well worth the read, whether you're in for a laugh, or if you're up for a cynical look at how to make millions :-)

Enjoy!

Europe Trip 2011 #27: Prague day 3 wanderings

Today started off with a wander up to Wenceslas Square, and decided to go to an impressive looking museum. You'll see from the picture that it looks at least as big as Te Papa Tongawera/ The Museum of New Zealand, and I thought that it would be a good look around, not to mention some shade from the sun! There was an advert for a butterfly exhibition, but I didn't let that put me off [it certainly wasn't an encouragement!]. At CZK60 [about NZD$4] it was cheap. Unfortunately, despite going to level 3 for the exhibits, it consisted of a whole two [!] exhibitions, the butterflies and an exhibition on antibiotics. Very sad. I think my ticket could have been used to get in to some related museums, but I was not that keen so decided to go wandering instead.

I decided to go for a wander away from the main tourist areas this morning which was really nice. I came across a small island [there are several of them in the river], which had bridge access and a combination of nice views and some welcome shade!

Prague is hot at this time of the year! It has been getting so hot in Prague that I've generally been calling it a day around 1pm each day, having a rest, then going for in the evening for a while. This at least makes it bearable, although it can still be in the late 20's around 6-7pm. Today was a little cooler and quite nice at around 20 degrees when I went for dinner this evening.

Anyway, here are the pictures. the first is the impressive museum building. Note the second picture. It was advertising pedal and row boats. I'm not sure exactly how to take this - perhaps all river trips are to be done naked? In any case, it is clear that the men are required to do all the work!

The last photo is some general statue I saw on the way back to the hotel.

Ronnie Corbett and Harry Enfield in this incredibly funny and fruity sketch!!

Monkey Business!

This is a test of your powers of perception, based on an old video trick. Enjoy!

For all you "bleeding edge" types...

Bohemian Rhapsody... by the Muppets!!!

Probably very little introduction needed for the Muppets... if you're a fan, you'll definitely like this. If you're not a fan, you may enjoy it anyway :-)

Enjoy!

Europe Trip #19: London - 4 - Buckingham Palace

A couple of days after arriving in London, we decided to go for a walk to Buckingham Palace, via Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Thankfully, being a weekday, there were not the massive crowds that I expected at the palace, so it was easy to get a good look.

Actually, after multiple warnings of how busy the city is, there was hardly any time that I felt I was in a big crowd - no matter if it was a week day or a weekend...? Perhaps this is because September really is the end of the summer tourist season, and from what I understand, all of the schools were back also.

Anyway, on to the photos. The first one is of the Palace. The second is of a statue opposite the entrance to the Palace. The third of of some police and soldiers on horseback as we walked back to a tube station.

Lastly, and I can't tell you where I saw this [or I'd have to kill you...], but I may have found an American government organisation's secret hideout! :-)

Europe Trip #11: Slovenia/ Bled - 6 - Last comments from Bled

A couple of final comments from/ about Bled.

Highly recommended? Yes! Not sure about winter [sometimes the lake freezes over, so it gets darn cold!!!]. Mid September was perfect - the weather was great and all the school kids were gone.

The locals were friendly [a lot of them spoke good english] and helpful, and the prices seemed reasonable.

Last comment - take a look at the picture. Think this will work in NZ?? ha ha ha!
