I just saw this advert aired for the first time on tv tonight. Apparently this happened yesterday (Jan 15th) at Liverpool Street Station, London. Which, if you are not from around these parts is the major train station junction for most trainlines running into London from all over England. There are many videos on YouTube where passers by and people who were there catching their trains filmed it on their mobiles but this video is the actual advert touting T-Mobiles slogan ‘Life is for sharing”… I think it’s genius!

Not Too Late To Play Jingle Bells, Right?
Of course it isn’t – it’s about sleigh riding so it must be a winter song.

Head Conkers
Conkers are the stuff British Childhood used to be made of. Using the fallen nuts of Horse Chestnut trees or ‘conker trees’ we’d thread one onto a piece of string about a foot long and then, with your friend armed with his/her threaded conker you’d take turns. One of you would hold your conker at arms length dangling on the string whilst the other took a turn to smash it with his/her conker. You only took one hit whether you actually hit it or not and then it was the other persons turn. The loser was the person whose conker smashed first.
This evening Wil found a spare pulley for one of our ceiling fans laying in a box and with nothing better to do, started using Camerons head as a rival conker.
As previously seen in such stupidity as The Push Up Challenge, Wil Skipping and The Dry Cracker Challenge here’s Wil being a prat, Cameron taking the brunt of some sort of torture and me laughing and snorting my way through it all.
Video From The Whole Hog Race
And I don’t doubt Marie will thank her son profusely for shouting “MY MUM’S BOOBS ARE JAGGLING ABOUT” right at the start… Probably about as much as she’ll thank me for drawing the internets attention to it on my blog!
Just For Lindy
(And for anyone who doesn’t know what I’m on about – The Family, Channel 4) Read my last post.
Ok, this isn’t the best clip and it doesn’t feature Shitty Emily. However from this clip you can gauge the mothers full time miserable trout face and the way she talks to her husband here is the way she goes around whingeing and moaning ALL THE TIME to the rest of the family.
Now take this demeanor and whack it straight on a Shitty 19 year old and you’ll have Emily. The poutfaced, ungrateful, lying baby who throws tantrums like a 3 year old.

Unfortunately Channel 4 have only put vids up of The Family having a good time and being nice to eachother so finding the usual state of affairs isn’t possible.
“Kids… Don’t try this at home!”
I just had the best laugh I’ve had in ages playing back a ton of video clips Cameron took earlier with his friends. I was a bit reluctant to let him out the door with my camera, his telescope tripod and a wireless microphone but it turned out to be worth it. If you’ve got kids I highly recommend turning them loose with thier own camera or getting them a little cheapie camera they can take outside. And whether you’ve got kids or not, if you’ve got a spare 4 minutes and 25 seconds, turn your sound up and have a look at this…. I love Mad Haz’s dramatic commentary and the way he accidently slips in and out of his faux American announcer accent!

That’s My Boy
I’d just like to point your attention to a video that Cameron made this morning all on his own. I didn’t even know he’d done it until he called me to watch, so it was 100% his effort.
I’d really appreciate it if you would watch it (it’s less than 20 seconds long) and leave him some comments on his Vimeo page so he’s encouraged to keep it up.. Cheers
100 Push Up Challenge Part 2
Today is one week on from my first attempt at doing a pushup. Last Saturday I found www.hundredpushups.com and decided to take up the 6 week challenge of training to do 100 pushups in 6 weeks.
Unfortunately my arms were even more feeble than I realised and I quickly faced the humbling experience of finding out I couldn’t even support my own weight while lowering myself to the floor let alone dream about pushing back up.
On Sunday I began working to get my arms to a point that I might one day be able to raise my own body weight off the floor.
I figured I’d start by mastering girl pushups (kneeling) and lowering myself to a level before the point of no return, this was only about 3″ down from arms fully extended, then I held it there until I couldn’t hold it anymore. I did this 5 times and each time my arms became more feeble and very shakey.
On Monday and Tuesday I repeated what I’d done on Sunday, only on Tuesday I found I was able to go a bit lower than I had before. I also started doing the plank exercise as it’s pretty good for strengthening a whole range of muscles around your abs, back and shoulders. Once I’d propped myself on my elbows and toes I just held it as long as I could. This made me feel like I was experiencing an earthquake because my whole body shuddered uncontrollably while my unused muscles screamed!
On Wednesday my pecs felt sore so I rested.
On Thursday I lowered myself as far as I could and did this 6 times, rested, then repeated twice completing 18 ‘halfway’ girl pushups, or 3 sets of 6.
On Friday I did the same as Thursday and found I was able to touch my nose on the floor before pushing back up. A stunning contrast to just 6 days earlier.
Given my gammy shoulder I’m not going to hurry to start the proper full on pushups so my 6 weeks is going to begin next Saturday following one more week of strengthening my arms.
Therefore I’m calling this ‘The 2 Week Weedy Arm Assault’…. now for the fun bit….
