For those that don't know...the internet here is going to be down for a few weeks so could be entirely uncontactable other than for the old dog and bone, but don't stop communicating online, just don't be offended if I don't respond quickly! Likewise it had been painfully slow for a couple of weeks so if i haven't caught up yet, sorry.
On Friday I went to the olympic stadium to go the Anzac celebration Rugby game, which was a very cool, but emotional occasion as the veterans stood to attention and a lone bugler echoed 'The Last Post' around the stadium. They really have a big celebration on Anzac day (which of course relates to the WWI landing of the Aussies at Gallipoli) but has since become a celebration of the national forces. Funny really, because we don't 'celebrate' Remembrance Sunday do we? Maybe the celebration is a good way of showing that the world is grateful, but i think the jury is still out for me...i guess its just a different way of saying thank you for those that gave there lives.
Most of you know that I'm not the biggest Rugby fan but i enjoyed the game, if only because 'St George Dragons' beat the Roosters. Good old St George..beautiful stadium as well, i can only imagine the atmosphere for the Olympics.
Have also spent a bit of time watching Robot Chicken. Martin will know all about this...but crikey its funny, though utterly bizzare. Check some out if Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama etc is on your radar...
And finally...this was on the international news. Just brilliant, if only for the judges brilliant pun...
"A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.
Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted "Darth Vader!"
Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: "I hope the force will soon be with him."
2 mumbles or rants about it:
Wish I could report Summer has arrived here - but the jury is still out on that, today alternated between sun, heavy rain and hail! The back garden is flooded.
Agree, bet the Olympics [athletics] were wonderful to watch. Dad.
Ah Robot Chicken :)
The Cylon outtakes was one of my favourites lol
