Preparing For Emergencies

hehe. Thanks Donal for the link to preparingforemergencies.co.uk which is a parody of preparingforemergencies.gov.uk
Surely the British Government isn’t scare mongering? Bertie tried that last year, but even he’s given up on it!

In an effort to worry the public and convince them to vote for us again next year, and because George Bush asked us to, this website includes…
We are also launching a national advertising campaign letting you know to look out for the booklet coming through your letterboxes during August. In no way does this resemble the Reader’s Digest Prize Draw.

Pringles Dippers Shocker!

Ohmygod! It would seem that there are problems with the new Pringles Dippers being advertised on TV with duck billed platypusses (is that right? platypussies maybe? Ah, thanks Kevin for this!) swimming behind several beautiful and not-fat young people. I’m not suggesting that eating Pringles will make you fat, but there’s even less chance of it happening with the dippers as there’s less in the box! Good luck trying to fit a dipper+dip into your mouth too. Maybe a little too big for a single dip?
Some people just hate the advert!
And finally, check ateed.com for the music to the ad. It’s loaded via a flash animation so I couldn’t download the music. Maybe someone going through a proxy can get the URL?

PRCs Guide to Oxegen

I’m a little late noticing this PRCs Guide to Oxegen but it’ll still be useful if you going next year. Lots of great advice…

  • Despite this unpleasant factor of being near Dublin music festivals like Oxegen are pure daycint though.
  • If you have a tent don’t assume thieves won’t just open (or slash) your tent and take stuff from inside.
  • Blacked out windows essential in case some other feen sees your Winnie the Pooh pyjamas and you sucking your thumb like a baba.
  • Food is the job cos it keeps you going like.
  • Kildare is in the Greater Dublin area which is a significantly closer to the arctic circle than Cork therefore you can expect a temperature drop.

Now we can all download the Internet!

Prompted by a question asked by Keith on #linux,

“ok well tell me a few good linux ditros that you can get everything for?”

I went searching and found a way that everyone can download the Internet themselves! It’s quite amazing that they’ve managed to do this but if you’re new to computers and you’re bored of trying to delete the Internet this is for you!

Sorry officer, was I going too fast? No, you were flying too low.

In an otherwise dry conversation about fuel economy numbers, this little nugget brought a smile to my face..

Get the car up to about 70 MPH so that there just a slight aerodynamic effect on the body. Then a gust of wind will literally lift the car and blow it into either the left or right lane.
