Random rugby fact

Bryan Habana (South African winger and one of the quickest men ever on a rugby pitch) once raced a cheetah for charity. Might sound stupid, but his 100m time of 10.4 would have qualified him for the Beijing olympics 100m semi-final, so even if he lost to a cheetah, he's still insanely quick!

App hilarity; download Titanic!

If you've got an iPhone or iPod Touch, I highly recommend downloading the Titanic app. It's free and addictive, but the best bit is the voices! Genuinly, if you loved the voices off of Worms, get up to the point on Titanic where they start trying to jump themselves into the lifeboats and buoys, and you'll hear some very Worms-esque phrases, in Worms voices!

"Here I go!" "It's all or nothing!"

SNOW!

Thought I'd deleted the photos somehow, turned out I was just looking at one corrupted file and didn't bother trying to see the rest, which were fine! Anyway, here's the snow day, the reason I got grounded for a week, with no internet either...:

We didn't originally have sledges, rather we had the spare wheel cover from a Freelander, but upon meeting Connor's old friend and his mum later in the day, we ended up with the keys to their garage and access to a couple of sledges! (We did give them back!)

Starts slow...

gets quicker...

and ends in a steering fail!

This just started with a fail full stop!

Into the bush, sledge driving test fail

Still attempting to make it to the bottom

Many thanks to Lucy and Luke for the sledges! : )

The mind of Edward Lindley during a chemistry lesson:

Eddy followed Brandon's example (not the wisest move in most cases) and also wrote down his thoughts during the chemistry lesson. I think he did the work at some points though, as I don't think he normally thinks about hex-1-ene...

At this point Eddy tried to think of anagrams for Brandon's name, Brandon Stephen James Stafford Wright Crane:
Steffan has brain and wrist acre ought premdod
(after realising this was rubbish:)
Steffan has wrist pain and Brun got goat creme re

Eddy thinks a lot. Of rubbish.

The mind of Brandon Crane during a chemistry lesson:

Brandon, instead of doing the work/ notes, decided to write what he was thinking down. Here it is typed exactly as he's written it...

Geography field trip to Lincoln

Lukas <3 cameras. Fo Lyfe.

Devon's iPod, with the lyrics to a song from the first ever Techno band, apparently a German band who adapted stuff like pocket calculators to make music!

Splitting up to our areas, only to come back and ask where we do it...

Aston Martin!

It was soooo cold outside, so upon going inside a shop and finding this, Devon and I spent a good minute under it warming ourselves like it was a fire :)

Maggie's 4 innit!

"Excuse me, you can't take photos of the courts, if a criminal comes out you're breaking the law"

Another way Brun has impacted my life forever...

Permanent marker yo.

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Assessed Expedition Photos

Whilst attempting the writeup for the expedition myself, Alex Clark, Hugh Findley, Tom Angus and Ben Bloodworth undertook many moons ago, I found a couple of photos I don't believe have been posted. Enjoy!:

Brandon Crane's Nottingham Killing Rampage

Alex Shipman and I went to Nottingham the other day, and met up with Dom, Brandon and Brett (hmm...). Much fun was had, and we had the near-perfect day; getting kicked out only once (and that was after a while), finding all the spots we wanted to, and everyone getting all the tricks they wanted to. Even though Alex rolled his ankle, he said it was the best street skate he'd had, and I agree. His edit below:

America!!!

Just got back from a just-over-2-week trip to America; for the first week and 6 days we were in Orlando, Florida, and the last 3 days we were in NY! I learnt two things in general for America; everything goes by the rule 'Bigger is better', and often the reason for something being the way it is or being where it is was simply "Because they could"! However ridiculous these things sound, it actually made for several amusing incidents and realisations; not least realising that was what was once the world's tallest building (the Empire State Building) was built just because 2 gents felt like being a bit grand! The results were always well worth it, such as the extravagant decoration of the themeparks; no paper-mache rocks here! The rides themselves were excellent and most had some sort of story. The amount of themeparks there were in Orlando was also staggering; including Disney you could easily spend 2 weeks of solid theme parks, or a month if you were doing it like we did (which I would recommend!)

My camera broke before we left on this trip, and so my usual blogging frenzy was hindered somewhat. Actually, I didn't have much luck with cameras on the trip: I didn't have one of my own, I lost mum's memory card to the streets of NY, and I forgot to take it up the Empire State. Whoops on my behalf I suppose!

Anyway, all being well, Facebook will allow my photos to go up, and I'll put together an NY edit. And I'm wise enough not to put a time limit on it, because I know I'll never hit whatever I say, even if it's a month from now!

P.S. And I met Luke and Will at Universal Studios and Cropper in Orlando! The most random thing ever!

New videos!

As Movie Maker broke and wouldn't render stuff, I had to take some clips from the now-never-to-see-the-light-of-day Skeg blog from April. Here they are:

Saturdays, (Outside) The (closed) Park

Start it off with what happened many moons ago as a result of Alex's masterfully coreographed Maggie May lipsync! Go to http://vimeo.com/1956822 and watch it.

An accidental sighting of Ben Grove the moment Shipman appeared was good! The fact he was listening to the same band the guy was singing to was weird as well!

"Random outburst" as Shipman put it, whilst waiting for Ed to tie his shoes!

Ed and his nuggets, he couldn't just leave them now could he?

SPF 50. Ed saved my life! Lukas refused to supply me with any, and his claim that you didn't need it was brutally proved wrong when he burnt so bad he could barely shower!

Lukas showing off his newly scraped hand due to a stone that threw him to the floor at 100MPH despite going at about 1! Anyway, he then discovered it was "just a bit of manky skin he pulled off", which he talked about for the next hour...

Coathanger art. Ed's stoked, as you can see.

Lukas texting Pepsi. He won nothing of course. And Ed did as well. Same goes!

Filming Alex doing a wallie. Which was a lot better than it looks here, it was so clean, far and high!

Lukas dicking my board. And it's still there, possibly permanent?!

Kittens! Dizzee Rascal and Darcy, all up in this joint.

Darcy surveying the area...

...and finding a threat!

And all because Lukas wanted a burger!
