Just came across “Which Superhero Are You?” on Techcrunch. Apparently, I’m 70% like Spider-Man. I’d rather have been Cyclops, even though he’s an idiot in the films.
Here are my results:
You are Spider-Man

You are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility.

Anyway, who are you?
I was pleased to read this morning that it’s going to be recommended that musical copyright terms aren’t extended from their current 50 years. And I particularly enjoyed this quote from a music journalist:
“You can make a record in 1955 and have been getting royalties. Suddenly they’re gone.”
Suddenly? Since when has a fifty year warning counted as sudden?!
Jimbo and I heard a classic line in the pub on Sunday whilst watching the Man Utd vs Arsenal game. The referee, Graham Poll, gave a free kick for a hand ball by a United player. The co-commentator, Andy Gray, defended the player, saying he couldn’t really get out of the way. And then we had the following conversation:
Random annoying bloke sitting next to us in the pub: “Andy Gray is really biased.”
Me: “Well he hasn’t really got any reason to be biased towards Man Utd.”
Annoying bloke: “He’s biased towards everyone.”
I’ve just read something really funny on Random Acts Of Reality, a popular blog written by someone who works for the London Ambulance Service.
Do you know what they call it when they’re called to an old lady who has fallen and can’t get back up?
Nan down!
Q: What’s the difference between the squirrel and Tottenham?
A: The squirrel has Champions League experience.
We completed on our new house yesterday and we’ve got the keys. There were no suprises when we had a look round for the first time in three months (except nice ones, like a bottle of wine and two pints of milk).
We want to decorate one room and our tenancy at Midland Cottages doesn’t finish until the end of the month, so we won’t be moving for a couple of weeks. But if anyone wants the new address then let us know.
Finally, somebody agrees with me. Peas are evil.
My favourite quote this week surprisingly comes from The Sun:
REAL MADRID president Fernando Martin delivered a Champions League warning to Arsenal when he roared: “My players will eat you alive!”
But porky star Ronaldo already looked full to the brim when he waddled into London yesterday.
When I left home yesterday morning there was a McDonald’s balloon wedged in the fence outside our house. It made me think that increased environmental awareness does have a downside. When I was a kid you could guarantee that at least one Blue Peter programme a month would involve launching thousands of balloons for kids across the country to try and find. There’d be a prize for the person who found a balloon furthest away from the launch site. Normally the winner would be some rich kid whose parents went on foreign holidays and could take a found balloon on the plane with them. I never got one of the balloons, but I always hoped I would, although the fact that I was the sort of child who didn’t really like going outside was probably a bit of a problem.
So could someone invent biodegradable balloons please.
Time passes…
Turns out they already have. And you can buy everything you need for a balloon race for a few hundred quid. So how come I’ve still never found one?
I can’t believe that they put Rupert the Bear on trial.
(This isn’t going to make much sense if the BBC change their photo.)
