‘Sir’ Fred Goodwin should be stripped of his title and then the UK Government should hang him… by his balls. What a nasty, greedy toad this man is to have lost a company he was in charge of billions and then to be bold enough to want £600,000+ for life of OUR money. Evil greedy scumbag.

We spent the day at Legoland on Saturday for their Star Wars themed fireworks festival. The actual Star Wars stuff was pretty cool and we got some great photos with the storm troopers and the fireworks were stunning. Here’s the video that I shot..

I always find sweets, chocolates and crisps that I want to eat when I’m in a phase of heavily cutting back on sweets, chocolates and crisps. I guess at least I can take pleasure in knowing that these are only available in the US and without some hassle I won’t be able to get a pack for a while. Still, it won’t be long until I bitch and curse about that…

I caught some of ‘Dude, Where’s my car?’ last night and whilst it’s not the best film, there are some classic scenes in it. This is probably the best scene in the movie…

If like me you’ve ever wondered what would happen to an iPhone if it was put into a blender which was subsequently switched on, wonder no more…

I like this… the Jesus Shot (glitch) from Tiger Woods 2008 video posted by Levinator25 on Youtube and EA’s response…
