Uncle Vlad, was always good with kids. Especially telling them stories; like "The adventures of Tommy Carrion, the undead lollypop man" or "Peter & Jane find a dead body" - ha ha - great fun!

He is now working for the BBC as a "Songs of Praise" cameraman.

The Shaggs... if you have never heard them before, you're in for a treat... I think.

This is what happens when a father, ambitious for his three daughters to be the new beatles, buys them instruments and studio time. The funny thing about this real band from the late 60's is that it's not a joke.

It's pure tortured genius!!!

The full album is here.

My favourite tracks are Track 2 "That little sports car" and Track 6 "I'm so happy when you're near'

Your mindset

Consider a field with a scarecrow and a flock of hungry crows sitting on the boundary fence.

The scarecrow in the field can be seen by the crows in two ways, either:

1/ it's a frightening thing, an ominous figure that induces terror.

2/ it's a dead giveaway that there's a load of food there; else why would it need protecting?

It all DEPENDS on how one would interpret the SAME circumstance.

UPDATE 4th July 2013: It was meant to be a joke, but apparently the app is being developed?
See HERE... What the?


The new SMART-Rz 3 smart phone, has just been released by Hermit Tech.
It features a conversational App that let's you ask the phone questions, where upon it replies with sarcasm.

There are four sarcasm settings installed with the "SARCASM" app, ranging from
1. "Passive/Aggressive" mode
2. "Oh you're not going out dressed like that are you?" mode
3. "School bully" mode
4. "Vitriolic Verbal Abuse" mode

I tried the phone on setting three. When I asked it how to get to London, it replied "check out google you knob... I may be a smart-rz phone but I wish the people who bought them weren't so ****ing thick? - it's enough to plug into "skynet" and nuke the lot of yer."
I asked it to then "bring up google" for me, where upon it told me to go away (well, not in those exact words) as it "was reading an amusing article by Alan Bennett?"

You can only imagine what setting four is like. I must admit, hat's off to Hermit Tech, because it IS realistic, as I know a few people like this!

On a lighter note, Hermit Tech, tell us that you can down load the voices of your favourite celebrity, like Jeremy Clarkson, Ozzy Osbourne, Simon Cowell or Yoda.
The rear has a 13 megapixel patented"DUCKFACE" camera, while the user-facing camera captures pictures at 0.2  megapixels. (not so good) The phone weighs 130g, and is 7.9mm thick - making it slightly lighter and thinner than the SMART Rz 2.

As predicted by several industry experts before the event, most of the presentation focused on the phone's software rather than hardware. The creator of the "SARCASM" app, John Hermit said in response "Ohhhh GREAT, that's just terrific, I'm soooooo happy about that!"

As smart technologies move ever closer to real human behaviour, spies at Hermit Tech tell us that a SMART Rz Touch Pad is in development... with the rumoured new "ATTITUDE" app.
The idea is that the software will REFUSE to do what you ask of it. - Hang on... didn't windows XP have that function for years?

Indulgence

The Fiat 'Conclave' was a limited edition car.
Only 115 were ever made and only came in Cardinal red.
They were never that popular. Also the manuals was printed in Latin.
Sales of the rival Vauxhall Tyndale, were more popular with the public at the time; although many people today have never heard of it. Which is a shame, as the vehicle was far more accessible and the manual was printed in a multi-language format.
Fiat, however, invested in a lot of advertising; which gave the impression it was a more powerful product. They are currently voting on a new CEO at the moment.

Obama: The truth at last

There has been much speculation and conspiracy theories regarding the validity of President Barack Obama's birth certificate, over the years. Today, it has been uncovered that Barack Obama's real name was in fact Jim Kelly.

You may have seen him, before his current job, in movies such as "Enter the Dragon" and "Black Belt Jones".

Foot & Mouth disease

When driving on motorways, have you ever seen a single shoe in the hard shoulder or verge?

Well, at last, here is proof of who has been throwing only a single shoe out of a passing car window. Do you know this man? Does he work for a shoe shop near you? That would explain why they only have one shoe instead of a pair, on the display stands. Is this man disposing of the other display shoes? Who is he working for? Is there a conspiracy?

Who cares!

Associated Press has tracked down the long lost brother of Ronald McDonald.

It turns out that Donald McDonald has been working most of his life as a ticket salesmen in Northern Belarus, for the 'Karl Lager Ringpull Circus'. Donald was discovered by accident, when a passing reporter asked to take his photograph. The Reporter asked him if he had heard of his famous brother? He replied, "Niet English... that is Ten Rubles for photo"

A Ronald McDonald press officer said, "Ronald is so very pleased about the news, he cannot appear today, as all his tears of joy have made his make-up run everywhere".
He has personally sent Donald a 20% off voucher for a happy meal and a plastic toy of "ham-burglar".

Georgie Simpson shows off his cup and medal for winning best happily married couple at the London Temperance Society's Awards 1897. It has since been revealed that his "wife" was none other than his mate from the pub, Jimmy 'Farter' Richards. They entered the competition as a drunken bet that went too far.
