Redneck Partay
Went to see Borat: CLOAFMBGNOK last night. See if you can find meaning in that uber version of the blogger letter jumble. In the meantime, because for some reason it wasn't in the film I saw despite it being in all the reviews, here's the classic:
Go in peace, kids, and remember to use the second best chat-up line ever:
"Very niiice. How much?"

Quote of the moment:
"Outing's off, enjoy the lie-in"
- No need to be up at 5am to be boating at 6am, thanks to Alex being off on a physio placement and everyone else being too sensible to want to sub in for him. Giggity giggity...
If only they were English, they'd know better about drinking habits. Pimm's O'Clock, all the way...

An Oldie but a Goodie...
Quote of the moment:
"Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me"
The sexual inuendo doesn't end there. It's sung by a crab... (Eh Squire? Nudge-nudge, wink-wink, know-what-I-mean, know-what-I-mean?)
On the subject of classic oldies, by the time we reach New Year I expect Prill, Jimmy and anyone else claiming musical ability to able to play this:
I also expect Jim to magic a piano or electric keyboard into his house because we aren't going to be in the 'Burgh. Personally, I'll bring my tramp harmonica.

Jambo IS the Chosen One
Quote of the moment:
"I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" - Topless Jambo, while waving his belly around the hall.
Jambo returned from a costumed birthday outing and decided for some reason to discard his shirt (belted to resemble the tunic) and carry on wearing the rest of his Anakin Skywalker garb anyway. It's not pretty. It is, however, most entertaining, and wonderfully soundtracked and filmed by moi.

What Shall We Do Tonight?
Quote of the moment:
Watch You Tube videos for 2 hours, obviously. Particularly ones of football goals.
I'm set to row tomorrow in an eight that will hopefully go to the Monmouth and Hereford regattas, made up of the 5 novice 1st boat guys who didn't make the all-star (senior + novice combined) henley boat plus 3 subs from the 2nd boat. As I'm overly fond of saying...
"A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality?..."
My rowing photos from the BUSA Regatta are online but only on Facebook, because I like the name tags. Consider it an extra incentive to join.
Upset-seeking underdogs West Ham were robbed of the FA cup by a thieving scouser. Steven Gerrard was eclipsed however by Little James, appearing on Liverpool's right wing. No matter how much he squirms, everyone who saw the match agreed it was him.
Meanwhile Jan Kromkamp's on a free loan to Momed AFC.

Bang!
Quote of the moment:
"Bang!" (with accompanying hand gestures).
Found on VideoSift
Microsoft apparently thought adults playing a kids game in public might warp fragile little minds. Teach the kids to accept being shot, maybe.

The Chipmunkz
Quote of the moment:
"Dave, you're exposed, you f*** with the Chipmunkz you'll end up comatose"
The first rowing social of the term is next week, with the theme being "cartoon characters of the 80's". It's so specific it could be a specialist subject on mastermind. In fact I expect it has been. That aside, my first thought was The Chipmunks. My second thought was of the flash animation Jimmy had ages ago:
It's top class stuff. Go watch.

Everyone Runs Faster With the Knife!
Quote of the moment:
"There's no respawn points in RL" - Steve's favourite and oft-repeated Doug quote.
You scored as Assault Rifle. You are soldier. Or you want to be a soldier. Or you just love military-type firearms. You need assault rifle. M16 or AK-47 will do good.
What Firearm Fits You Best?

Apologies for unleashing the loathed quiz-farm offerings again, but the grammar just made it too good to miss. I'll take the under-slung grenade launcher with that, kthanx.
Continuing the theme, I must direct you (courtesy of Mr Matthew Wright of K3) to what is, apparently, video footage of my alter-ego, Doug.
Jim strafing down the path at school to go faster, anyone?

Armadillo Akhbar!
Quote of the moment:
"I'm quite impressed, I've found I like being me. Me at the moment is pretty ok." - Koel (paraphrased, my memory is t3h suck). How rare!
Just talked to La Podge, which was le fun. She explained her recent doings and the phrase "deep conversation" popped up so much I just had to mock her about it! It's the Podgy equivalent of big knockers, causing weak knees and possible swooning(instead of 'Phwoar's and possible leering). The general idea was probably known to all, but now you can say to Podge, upon her return:
"Look at the deep conversation on that one, eh? Phwoar!"
Well, I'd enjoy saying it anyway. Her phone card ran out though, so I was cut off mid monologue and Rob m8 misses out on the fun, having tried to phone mid-way through our political debate on Iraq and how not to pronounce coffee. I hope however that he's proud of me for saying that the reason the original Starwars trilogy was better was the Luke/Leia incestousness.
New in the "Doesn't Will look a fool?" series, Will models his safety specs with attractive blue trim:
A step up from the porter outfit, surely?
Talking of looking a fool, the Royal Dragoon Guards version of Amarillo, renamed Armadillo, was so popular that it caused email systems at the MoD to crash. What next? A video of 'Camp America - F*** Yeah!' sounds promising...
Finally, the sole evidence of my dad's progress with the 'To Do' list for the last couple of months:
He's taken the shower apart, retiled it and put it back together. Altogether now, the sound of one hand clapping...

A VERY Happy Birthday To Sarah
Quote of the moment:
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy
As I mentioned yesterday, the CCF Biennial Inspection was today and my dad went to watch. During the parade at the start, as is customary, the visiting General walked up and down the ranks 'meeting the troops'. This year the Yr 9 have been included in the CCF for the summer term in a 'Junior Leaders' company. Since a similar representative number of them paraded too, there were at least 40 kids there and the General decided to talk to every single one of them properly. Since the weather was overcast and rather humid, by the end of the parade on the Front there were 5 fainters!
Sarah was a known danger so she was placed on the front corner. Once the General had moved to the row behind her Major Eke sidled over, took her rifle and got her to wiggle her legs and arms while still standing to attention, because she was starting to sway. Unfortunately for the others they weren't so accessible. One other was swaying and had to step back and brace before standing back in line. One crumpled in place. A Junior Leader fell flat backwards to be caught by the person behind, but the most impressive according to my dad was Ed Hutley, another Yr 11 like Sarah, who lasted to the end but when ordered to fall out, got half way through the right turn and fell flat on his face.
Mr Christmas hadn't missed out on the fact that it was Sarah's birthday, so at the final parade her name was called out and she had to march up to the General's podium to be presented with a birthday cake. How awesomely embarrasing.
Victoria sent me a video she found while looking for something to talk to the visiting General about:
My Uncle In Afghanistan
There isn't a blood relationship, despite the way he seems to approach public speaking like me! It must be camera shyness because he's normally far more confident, if equally posh and plummy.
In other, obviously minor news: the elections. I voted for the Liberal Democrats for the local council elections and Conservative for the general election, due to the reasons given two days ago. Local issues are the way forward, methinks.

"Attention, people of Earth. I regret to inform you that in order to make way for the new hyperspace express route, your planet has been scheduled for demolition. Have a nice day." - The Hitchhiker's Guide, again.
Paddy has updated with masses of pictures, including him on top of the Mystery Machine:
One of the pesky kids
He phoned especially to let me know, while attempting to walk back to his hotel/hostel in Sydney. I suspect alcohol was involved, because he was about to try and climb over the gate into the Botanic Gardens to take a shortcut and he has just told me on Messenger that they ended up swimming around the fence where it touches the edge of the Harbour!
Sarah came home tonight in advance for her birthday presents in the morning. On the day she turns 16 she has the joy of the CCF Biennial Inspection complete with parade and visiting general, an English mock and the Ascension Day chapel service this evening. She brought with her my camera and phone from Mr Thorne, so I can provide a short but exotic video for you:
Jim's Joystick
I'm seeking claimants for a T-shirt that, the current hypothesis is, was left here after the party:
Update on Zulu
My dad and I picked him up this morning from the vet. He's rather stiff and walks slowly and carefully, but he's eager to get going and was very miffed when he was left out of the walk today. While we were at the vet's we were shown the X-rays taken last night and in the abscence of any breaks or fractures, the main feature pointed out to us was the bulging and packed stomach!
My parents stocked up on some more dogfood this afternoon and came home with a commiseration present for Zulu: his own bed. It's similar to Ben's but unchewed and black. After initial suspicion he vacated Ben's blue bed for his own new one and now seems very pleased with it.

The Prillo Party
[From the early hours of the 8th, reporting the events of the 6th/7th which couldn't be posted because I was babysitting the drunks, then again because Blogger failed.]
Quote of the moment:
So, here is what I have decided to do. Basically, I am going to have three basic type of punishments: detention, 50%, and zero. If homework is not done or incomplete, there will be detention until work is finished. If work is late, there is an automatic 50% discount on the grade. If the behaviour is so bad that the student had to be sent to the office, there is an automatic zero for that class. Oh and by the way, failure to show up to detention is a zero. That'll teach them! - I wouldn't have scored very highly in Lexcie's maths class!
Once upon a time, there was a gathering at the bowling alley at Freeport. It was pretty cool. Apart from Vicky eating all the Haribo, I was very pleased with it! My bowling was somewhat varied (from a couple of strikes to a double gutter-ball) but I scraped 3rd out of 5 in both games. That was 3rd out of everyone as well as our lane, since we had the real men: Jimmy, Vince and Hawwy, with me as a flukey interloper, as well as the birthday girl. The other lane was just RUBB-ASH!
We headed to Aroma for eats, but since Will T had spent all the money he stole from his little brother's piggy-bank on the bowling, we diverted to Pizza Hut for the budget option and took a takeaway home. Having demolished the pizzas we started gaming: hurrah! A pause for Desperate Housewives allowed me and Kaz to prepare the cakesss:
Prill attacks the cake with glee
There was then some retro Twister action, in which Jimmy managed to rip my boxers, just as Paddy did last time!
Prill and Jimmy headed home about 11.30pm, because her dog allergy puffer wasn't coping with the combined effect of Zulu and Ben. Will T and I continued with the ISS 98 in Jimmy's abscence, peaking with this epic match(which ran on into extra time after being 5-5 at full time):
I got so drunkenly excited that I took a video of the replay of Will's (admittedly superb) best goal. In my defence, my goalie was on the lowest setting, and I was playing as an off-form Turkey to his top condition Brazil! (There's no defending getting THAT keen on gaming).
I then took a picture of Will 'celebrating' his victory. For once Kaz has her eyes properly open, so Will blinked!
While we were busy, Vince had passed out on the floor:
When we eventually decided to go to sleep, I laid out the sofa cushions in a carefully tessellated pattern, showing my geekness even when drunk:
Another excellent Rob t-shirt slogan:
Will's mum's sexy tortoiseshell shades:
The sleeping beauties:
In other news: Iraq finally has a new president, following 9 weeks of haggling since the elections.

12 Pythons
Quote of the moment:
Al: How ya feeling Rob?
Rob: Amazing
Oli: Looks like you've finshed your drink, you need another one
Johnny: Gotta hurry hurry hurry
Rob: Fix me up another
Wilson: I'll fix you up another mate, no worries
Rob: Amazing, amazing
- Drunk Rob's transcript of his Acid Will tribute video.
Thank you again, Jimmy. I'm enjoying Time Splitters 2 lots :D
I'm currently watching 12 Monkeys. Notable not just for Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt, but also for being directed by Terry Gilliam, formerly of Monty Python's Flying Circus!
[Edit 00:15 - In the scene where Bruce Willis finds the sign of the 12 Monkeys sprayed on a wall, the wall is covered with gig posters for Muse!]

League Tables
Quote of the moment: "Telford scored an average of 760.3 points per student, more than 100 points better than its nearest rival" - The Times School Report, published today.
According to the new way of calculating the league tables, all GCSE level qualifications are taken into account, not just the best 8 as done previously. Hence Thomas Telford School has managed to leapfrog everyone else, because pupils there take an online GNVQ in "Information and Communication Technology" in addition to their GCSEs. Wow... I'm speechless. How impressive. They know how to use the internet.
Obviously schools that focus on subjects such as maths, languages and physics aren't particularly impressed, and with obvious reason. A comprehensive with pupils who get the equivalent of 12 A* to C grades is judged as doing better than independant and grammar schools with pupils getting all A and A* grades in academic subjects. I'm sure they are doing better for their pupils, but it would be stupid to pretend that a pupil from Telford with the equivalent of 12 B grades would be considered by any university worth the name to be better than someone with, say, 5 A*s, 3 As and a B. I think Jimmy wins:
