Wacko Jacko Joke
Time for a Tuesday funny!!
Michael Jackson is in his hotel room, discussing his case with his lawyer.
After a few hours, his lawyer says to him:
“We need to relax and take our minds off things, how about I go rent a DVD?”
“That’s a good idea,” says Michael in his squeaky voice.
“Shall I get Aladdin?”
“No, just the DVD, I’m already in enough trouble.”

Cabin Crew – Star To Fall Music Video
Hmmm – why were my Cabin Crew not like this on Monday?
Time for another fresh choon! This one takes the chorus from “Waiting For a Star To Fall” by Boy Meets Girl, loops it around, adds a beat and voila – a catchy track that I keep hearing everywhere right now! 2005 – the year of re-worked 80’s tracks?

HP New Year!
Wowsers! It’s been over 2 months since my last posting! HP New Year everyone!
First off, if anyone had a fantastic Valentine’s Day this year, then I want to hook you up for next year. Simply book a flight on American Airlines, and I’m sure you’ll have a fun time like I did. This year, I chose La Guardia airport for my stay and I spent 5 fantastic hours there on Monday. Superb stuff. And as a special bonus I got to check in TWICE and get screened TWICE by security (mmmm – those friskin’s!). Ummmm – they love to scribble on my ticket and give me special attention. Maybe they just want to check out those special Xmas socks I was wearing. What’s also great is that they give you chance to take part in a sport – it’s sort of a running/boxing type of event. 10 mins before take off they declare my flight is cancelled. Then there’s a mad stampede to the counter. Even the old lady sitting next to me was out of her chair faster than a Lotus Elise! I was really slow off the mark. You can’t really blame me though, as it was the first time I’d been involved in such an event and they don’t really teach you this at school. Basically, there’s a huge fight as people push to the front and come up with imaginitve excuses as to why they need to get on the very next flight. By the time I got my chance to argue, all that was left was a plane leaving in 3 hours.
But don’t get disheartened. American Airlines are great because they have this great section where you can sit down and watch planes come in and take off and you can ask yourself why all these other airlines are flying, but AA are not. You’ll have bags of time to ask this question. And then the icing on the cake is when the plane you are waiting for comes in an extra hour late! Mmmm – is that a treat or what! Don’t forget to check out Stacey the kind newsagent lady too – she has a store full of magazines and chewy treats to keep you busy. But no hot food though. I had such an awesome time, I know who I’ll be flying with next time!
P.S. If you’re extra lucky – they’ll throw in a 2 hour wait on the tarmac on the return portion of the journey! WOOT WOOT!!
(More chewy tales here).
New Pioneer PDP-505XDE Out Now!
Ummmmm – Pioneer have updated their European Plasma range! The PDP-504HDE has now been replaced the most awesome PDP-505XDE! Heaven! 7 Billion Colours! Now that’s what I call fresh! Watch the advert. Be sure to check out the technology basics movie too – it’s fascinating! (Ok, it is a bit geeky – but so what, it’s Christmas!)
But why, oh why, is this model not coming to the US market? No sign of an updated model on the Pioneer Pure Vision US Website 🙁 I want my additional 6 billion colours! They are important to me!
Birmingham Stuff Villa Once Again
Those arrogant muppets called Aston Villa got their just deserts today when Blues showed them once again their current status in the table doesn’t count for squat. Just like 2 years ago, their goalie suffered a nasty. Bad luck (not). It was an almost identical screw up as last time which saw Sorensen fumble the ball and Blues up 1-0 in the opening 10 minutes. Very similar to Peter Enckleman’s blunder. Ten minutes later, a second goal for Blues and Vile didn’t know what had hit them. It was their arrogant attidude of “just turn up and we’ll win” which let them down. A consolation goal in extra time for them, left it 2-1 to Blues – though Blues had several chances in the first half that perhaps should have made it 5-0 at half time.
Anyway – Olof Mellberg is my most hated Villa man at the moment – first for these stupid comments and then for his attempt to headbutt several Blues players after a decision went against him. As a “captain” (I use that term loosely when talking about the Vile) you should know better. O’Leary is also on my hate list for his post-match comment of “We’re the better team”. Errr – cleary if you were, you would have won! Enuff said!

Friday Funny
A man walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink.
“Hey, nice tie!” a voice says out of nowhere.
The many looks up to thank the bartender, but he’s down at the other end of the bar.
“Hey, nice shirt!” the voice continues.
The man looks up again, but the barkeeper is still at the far end of the bar.
“Hey, that’s a really nice suit!” the man hears. This time he calls the bartender over and asks if he’s been talking to him.
“It’s not me”, says the barman. “It’s the complementary peanuts”.
