Game of Thrones - Your Imagination

I have many faults. I'm the first to admit it . It's that I'm 'too handsome' or 'too clever', no, I just get annoyed at stupid people.

My main issue with stupid people is when they quote me lines from a movie, and yes, the movie was excellent but guess what - pillock - you didn't write the move, you just watched it.

A prime example is last week at the office, a part-time employee who sits at a desk near me came by and said to me 'wheres the fish?'. I looked at him as if he had just been at the markers in the board room.

An adult human foot is about 28 centimetres long.
Turns out, the muppet had been watching Monty Python over the weekend and thought that line to be the weirdest one ever. That wasn't even the part that embarrassed me, as it further transpires that he had never even bothered to watch the Monty Python TV show, which most people regard as their best work.

Silly man!

 And then there are the people that think that because they have seen the film they can't now read the book, or alternatively, instead of reading the book, they'll just watch the film.

THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE FILM.

Always.

Anyway, I'm off for a can of spam and a wafer thin mint in a minute but before that, here is someone else's rant about books and TV shows. In song form.

The Harlem Shake

So whats all the fuss about? Quite simply, The Harlem Shake viral videos. 


Easy to do, easier to share and be seen.

Step 1: Dance a little in front of a camera to the music of "Harlem Shake", in helmet or mask whilst others around you carry on their normal day.


Step 2: At 15 seconds - everyone starts dancing to the music.

The total clip should take 30 seconds.

Simple? Lets see a few different takes on the idea;




A great example. If you have 250+ friends around - go at it!




Peanuts and Friends




At the Office




In the Street




On the Climbing Wall




In Times Square




And of course, in the Aquarium

TV shows to watch over the summer

The baby has been waking up in the middle of the night and even once he is down again I can't sleep. So I've been watching a fair bit of TV recently, catching up with series that i've been too busy to watch.
Family watching television, c. 1958



The Good; stuff I'd watch at the drop of a hat

Deadliest Catch - reality show about crab fishing. A must see for everyone bored in their lives or jobs.
Crew members struggle to recover a crab pot as...Modern Family - comedy
Big Bang Theory - comedy
NCIS - drama


The Bad - shows that others love and I don't;

Lost
24
Glee

The Ugly - shows I have gotten very bored with, although they were once great;

Chuck - comedy/drama
NCIS LA
Two and a Half Men

So to conclude, I strongly suggest, whilst all the normal shows are on summer break (why, I don't know!?), watch The Deadliest Catch, from Season 1. Modern Family, with all the family. Download The Big Bang Theory and keep it on your computer to watch when you need a laugh. Its not everyone's cup of tea.
